The next day , I rushed to my workplace , I couldn't even finish my breakfast. While having a piece of bread in my mouth (which my mother stuffed saying , "Don't you dare go to work without eating anything!").
I ran as fast as I could to reach the bus stop near my house. Obviously I was very late ; I overslept today as I kept thinking about the meeting , the unknown thief and his motives etc. My eyes were swollen and red ; almost giving the look of a zombie. I panted and sat in the bus. Today's day was quite cloudy , Looks like it's going to rain today I thought , feeling anxious now as I was not carrying a umbrella. I sighed and waited for my stop to come.
...
After reaching the office , I saw the clock hanging on the wall , Thanks to Heavens! I still have ten minutes before the meeting starts I thought feeling a bit relieved . I sat in my chair to calm down as I was breathing heavily.
When the clock struck at 9 I went towards the president's cabin ; it was at the third floor.when I reached there , On my right side there was a nameplate in which it was written "President's Cabin" in golden letters ; shining brightly. I knocked on the door and heard a heavy voice which said curtly , "come in."I entered inside , the office was quite clean and had a positive environment ; there was a huge wooden desk where the President sat , white colored shiny walls , some documents arranged nicely on the table.
I greeted the President and sat on the chair in front of his desk. "Detective Lara. I have been longing to see you. You may have some questions in your mind from our previous meeting. You might be wondering who the thief was."said the President. He was staring at me in a i-know-what-question-you-have way.
I nodded to him and said "Yes the most important question I have is about , who was the thief? Where did he come from? What were his motives?" I asked curiously. "Aah...just as expected...the thief was a person working for Gwendolyn Greengrass. She is a wanted criminal since many years. She is a very dangerous murderer ; A total psychopath if you ask me.Since we were trying innumerable attempts to catch her , she is our biggest enemy and is planning to kill all of the detectives and her main objective to kill is...me."He said feeling quite anxious.
"Today almost two detectives were going to be killed by her extremely cunning plan ; those two detectives were running out of petrol in their car so they went to the gas station to fill it. while they were engaged doing some important case and having a discussion , the person did something because of which after filling up petrol from the gas station they could not stop anywhere. Obviously someone failed their breaks of the car.They got into a huge accident of course and got some severe injuries because of which they have to stay on leave for a few months...but alas they are not dead."said the President.
"That's quite dangerous , that woman , Gwendolyn.So how can i help in this situation?" I asked. "You are assigned to catch this criminal , investigate and find about her next move." he replied. "what?! I?! how can i do it when i don't have experience in this work?! its hardly been a month since i joined!" I said feeling totally shocked. "I believe in you. I know that you have the capabilities which many detectives don't have." he replied feeling confident.
I wanted to say NO! I AM NOT DOING IT! but seeing how much confidence he had in me ; his eyes showed I-know-you-are-capable-enough type of look. So i wasn't able to deny it and i nodded nervously and slowly walked away , feeling anxious ; my legs were shaking like crazy. No doubt I was very frightened ; thinking about what is going to happen next.
