"She said, she will call as soon as they get an answer. " Sam says.
"But isn't it already too late?"Jake tries to move a little from the bed but he couldn't.
" What do you think you are? "
"What? Instead of helping me sit up you're scolding me"
"Of course… you deserve it. "
"Okay, now pass me my phone"
"Here" She handed him the cellphone.
Jake types something on it and returns it back to Sam.
"What was that? "
"Umm… I just asked them to come as soon as possible"
"Be patient"
At that moment the door opened revealing the members along with Dayal.
"You guys are finally here. I thought you almost forgot me"
"Stop it " Sam says.
"So.. How's it going? "
"Huh.. She finally answered"Dayal says.
Jake was so excited that he almost jumped from the bed but sat back as soon as he felt pain.
"Relax, you can hear us while sleeping on the bed"Mon says.
" What did she say? "He asks.
"She admitted that she was that lawyer's ex-girlfriend. So, she went there to his house, had some arguments and left. "Dayal explains.
"Then she killed him? "
"No.She left"
"Who killed him then? "
"We are working on that"
"But I don't get one thing. Why was she avoiding us and even tried to harm us? "
"We asked her the same. She said she didn't know we were from the investigation agency and was confused if we were trying to harm her. Moreover the lawyer was murdered just after their argument so she thought she is in danger too"
"So she was scared of us? "
"Yep"
"Isn't it strange? What I'm seeing is someone knew that they had an argument so he or she took the chance"
"You mean someone else was also there? "
"I'm not sure but I guess"
"According to Miss Gill, she heard about the murder only after it was reported to the police. That means just after we discovered the body, Jake"
"Then someone must have attacked him after she left, so that she seems to be the culprit"
"Exactly"
"What about the car that we followed? Was that her? "
"No. She has no idea about that .In Fact, she saw us today for the first. Hence, mistook us for someone else"Dayal says.
"There's a third party involved in all this mess"
"We were just going along with their plans. That's it. "Mon says as she takes a seat in the side bed.
"Miss Gill is innocent? "Sam asks.
"Don't say that yet. We still have to keep in touch with her. "Jake says.
"Now let's end it here. You need to rest well. We have got a lot of work together. " Sid says.
"Okay"
. It was clear that even she was targeted in the case.Now that she was involved in this case already All the members decided to have a second search in the bungalow.Also, they had kept an eye on Miss Gill, in case she was lying to them. Also, they had to see that car. From what it looks like it was from the minister's side but not from Miss Gill. They just got confused between the two things.
But the problem is whom to blame? They got no idea where the minister was. They can't just call anyone the culprit. Jake was still in bed. They can't force him to work with them. But he got every news about the mission. So, somehow or the other he was still a part of the mission.
A few days later they called Miss Gill again for questioning. Her replies were the same as before. It seemed like she has nothing to do with the murder. So the other members went to see the bungalow again.
On the other hand Jake was still not sure about her. He felt something was fishy.Of course, he still doesn't trust her. Afterall she shot him.
He reached for his cellphone to call Sid.
"Hey"
"Hey, are you already at the location?"Jake asks.
" Yes,is there anything "
"No just search carefully"
"We will"
"Just.. "He thought it again if he should actually ask them to do so.
"What? "
"Umm….see if you find something related to a woman and can you also fix some cameras there"
"Huh? "
"Yes..you know,I still don't trust her"
"You know we can't fix cameras here. We'll search for what you said but cameras! This place is already restricted now."
"Then what about recorders?And I don't think so it's a problem because earlier we saw a car there."
"Ok then. Will try"
"Thanks" He leaves a deep breath.
At least they can have something from the recordings. It should have been done a long time ago, but it's okay. It's not too late yet.The Sooner the better.
