She quickly rushed out of the bathroom, got dressed up, and went back to the room and took several shots of the dead man. She sprinkled an acidic content on the dead man’s body to wipe off her finger print and then she set the shower rolling, so it would seem he slumped taking his bath.
“Sir mission accomplished.
said placing her hand on her ear, while she spoke.
“OK then safely make your way out of the room, if you are caught in the process you know what to do.”
The man behind the voice said.
And she smiled, took the sign of the cross and said her last prayer.
“This probably might be my last but forgive me of every sin.”
She said, while she examined the pill in her hand, which she might take, if everything goes all wrong.
**********
“The minister for finance has been found dead, while taking his bath in a popular hotel, he had slumped and was found dead in the bathtub this morning, it was reported medically that he died of heart failure.”
The reporter delivered the news, while showing the deceased, Mr. Tony the minister for Finance.
The news said, while Richærd was still in the old man’s mud house.
“Just this type of thing, they all dying either through bombing or heart failure.”
Richærd said clasping his hands together in frustration, while staring at nothing.
“Boy it’s alright, go do as I said, take a break and set a trap, to every of this invincibility, there is always a fatal weakness, it’s all a matter of time.”
“So what do you suggest I do now?”
Richærd said.
“Start from the scratch, start from places that seemed insignificant. That’s all I have to say, use your head. You are intelligent just that you are too hot tempered, you need a woman to calm you down.”
The man said smiling, while pouring him a tea.
“Not yet ready for marriage father.”
Richærd said.
“Time would tell.”
The old man said smiling.
Just then his phone rang, he swiped the green button to answer a call from Stiles.
“Please about the earlier stuff I told you about my sister coming back to Unity States, I want you to esc-rt me please. She might also be of help in the case, she is a forensic scientist.”
Stiles said through the phone.
“OK fine I would be coming over, give me half an hour.”
Richærd said and ended the call.
“Father I think I have to get going.”
“It is well my boy, try visiting father whenever you have the chance, I miss your company.”
“I will father.”
Richærd said and drained every bit of the tea, and felt this refreshing feeling running down his belly.
He got up and made his exit.
The old man looked at the departing back of Richærd and smiled sadly.
“My son is becoming a man.”
***********
Richærd and Stiles could be seen on the drive towards the airport, but both remained silent all through the ride, with each lost in their own world of thoughts.
They arrived the airport at exactly 5.30pm but her arrival would be by 6pm.
They both sat over a corner, while smoking out their lungs and chilling over a bottle of beer.
“We would be going to investigate on the death of the Minister for finance, we might find something useful there.”
Richærd said.
“But seriously does it still make sure difference? It would still end up the same way.”
Stiles said in a stubborn way.
“Well it’s true but I want to first check the security CCTV footage, then would know what’s next.”
Well, if you are set, I don’t mind going with you.”
Stiles shrugged and checked his watch, just then they announced the arrival of the 6pm flight.
Stiles sat up, followed by Richærd.
They arrived and after few minutes of looking around for her, they found a very beautiful lady walking towards them all smiles.
Speaking of beauty here she is, her glowing face, her height, set of crystalline teethe, that sparked of while she walked towards them or was it her killer shape? Gosh! It’s all something to remember.
Richærd’s heart skipped when she saw her approaching them.
“Don’t tell me this is your sister.”
Richærd said, to Stiles who was still busy looking around.
“Who?”
Stiles asked.
“Her.”
Charles said pointing at the approaching lady who was smiling at them.
“Ella!!”
Stiles whispered and ran towards her and scooped her up from the ground and carried her up while smiling happily.
“Wow! I seriously need to avoid this girl, she sure is a temptation herself and he does on her a lot.”
*****
Throughout their ride home that night, Richærd respected himself and slept beside the driving Stiles, he hasn’t muttered any word to her save for the normal exchange of greeting at the airport when she arrived.
The two siblings were busy chattering while he dozed off.
**********;
Two men could be seen in the dark, at a lonely street, discussing in hushed tones.
“Hope the drugs aren’t fake.”
The man in the car said.
“You can have a snuff of it and attest yourself.
The man opened the briefcase to reveal so many drugs In well stacked hærd drugs in there, while he took out a small one in a white nylon, he took out a pen knife from his jacket and took a gentle cut, while he tasted it and nodded.
“It’s cool.”
The man in his car said, while the other man smiled in content.
“Well you know I love keeping my business a top secret.”
the man in the car said.
“You are covered sir, no one would here of it.”
“I meant, I love silencing any act of future troubles.”
He said and brought out a silenced pistol and fired three shots into the man, sending him rolling down the street dead, while he rode away.
Unfortunately for him he never knew there was a boy I’m his late teens that snapped all the happenings there on his camera.
