Three days later .
A news telecast .
[ The attack on the Daisy hospital by the dark souls has been the most discussed topic among the townspeople for the last few days . The memory of the attack is still fresh in the minds of the people . But very recently , the police department has come across some extremely shocking facts about the hospital which has completely changed people's view about it .
The hospital staffs previously informed that the dark souls have completely destroyed their medicine room , they also notified that in the process their newly purchased medicines were utterly damaged . This morning , the police department shared the report of their investigation which states that the newly purchased medicines were all expired products . It has been notified that the false labels were put over the original labels which contained the actual expiry dates of the medicines . We have got the information that the medicines were delivered from TN enterprise but the police has not notified anything about the involvement of the company . But it's pretty clear that TN enterprise would have to answer a lot of questions too , regarding the issue .
This is not all . The police department also informed that they have analysed the few dead bodies which the dark souls didn't take with them . The forensic team has found traces of illegal experiments in those dead bodies . Some of the organs of the bodies were also found to be missing . The police chief stated that it can be a case of organ trafficking but they don't have any solid proof about that . Their primary assumption is that the hospital staffs used to target mainly the patients who didn't have anyone to enquire about them or even to receive their bodies after their deaths . And those patients became victims of either organ trafficking or the unauthorised experiments .
Daisy hospital has not said anything about these allegations yet . We have still not been able to contact the hospital staffs . But as the news was spread , the townspeople became extremely violent , they are currently gathered in front of the hospital . Police forces are there to prevent the violent public from attacking the hospital . The people whose relatives were admitted to the hospital are in a hurry to discharge them as soon as possible .
Daisy hospital has always been the epitome of welfare to the people who are in need of medical treatment as this hospital never turned their back on any patients despite of their inability to pay the bills or any other problems . But who would have thought a hospital like that can hide such dark secrets .
The investigation is still in progress , the police has yet to find a lot of answers . They didn't expect , their search for the traces of dark souls would lead them to the dark secrets of Daisy hospital . ]

RS Enterprise .
Cedric was watching the breaking news that was in circulation in all the news channels at the moment . His assistant and manager were also present there . Like the townspeople they too were utterly shocked to learn the heinous facts about the Daisy hospital .
After some time he turned off the telecast and said in a calm yet bold tone , " Cancel our upcoming collaboration project with TN enterprise . "
" But sir ...."
" Just inform them my decision , you don't need to explain anything to them . And yes , after notifying them don't answer their calls anymore . "
" Yes sir . " , the assistant said and left the room .
Some times later the manager spoke up , " It's unbelievable . "
" Huh , I always knew this company was good for nothing but I didn't expect that they would be frauds too . "
---------------------------------------
After some hours .
" Mr. Cedric . " , the door of Cedric's cabin were loudly pushed open as an enraged figure barged in the next moment .
Tiessa approached his table without wasting a single second and shouted , " Mr. Cedric , how could you do this , how could you cancel the project in such a short notice and what is the reason behind it ? "
" Who let you in ? " , Cedric said coldly .
" No one . I came here myself . Did you think your guards could stop me ? " , she said vehemently , Cedric made an irritated expression but didn't say anything .
" You must give us a valid reason . My assistant told me that he asked your staffs several times if there was any fault from our part but they did not say anything . My staffs called your company so many times after that but their calls were not received . " , she stopped for a moment and then started again , " Everything was finalized from our part . It'd be huge loss for us if you back down at this point . Please try to understand our situation . Why are you doing this ? "
Cedric remained silent for a while and spoke up , " Actually I can't trust a company that doesn't even spare a hospital from their nasty game of scamming . What if they scam my company next . So my decision is just a precautionary measure , nothing else . "
" What game of scamming you are talking about ? Are you implying to the Daisy hospital . How can you side with the hospital after knowing what they have done . They might have caused everything themselves and now they are trying to put the blame upon us . "
He chuckled a bit and said , " Are you trying to say that they produced those expired medicines themselves ? Yes , I can believe upto the point that they could put the false labels . But ..... in no way you can deny the fact that those medicines were from your company . And very soon your company would be charged with storing a large number of expired medicines . "
She remained silent for a moment . He continued , " And after that do you think any company would like to collaborate with you , let alone RS enterprise ? "
Tiessa's face was pale . She knew Cedric was right , still she said , " Mr. Cedric please don't cancel the project . I'm requesting you . Believe me , I had no idea about it .... "
" I'm sorry but I don't do business with fraudsters . "
" I am telling you , I have no idea about it , why don't you believe ? "
" Okay , let's think that it was a mistake . Then how are you going to rectify it ? "
" Rectify it ? How ? "
" Take responsibility . Accept that it was a mistake from your part and compensate them . "
" Impossible . That'd be the end for my company . "
Cedric sighed and said , " Then do whatever you want . It's not my concern anyway . " , with that he walked towards the door . As he was about to open it , his manager entered the room .
" Bring the files to the conference room . " , Cedric said to him and walked out .
Tiessa looked at the manager who was also looking at her . They stayed like that for a moment before Tiessa turned away .
He went to the table and picked some files . He turned to her and said , " Madam , you should take responsibility . That'd be the best for you and your company . Please think about it . "
She looked at him with fiery eyes and said , " I don't need your advice . Just go to hell . " , with that she stormed out of the room .

Daisy hospital .
The police had successfully cleared the angry crowd from the hospital premises . The patients were also transferred to other hospitals as the government has ordered Daisy hospital to discontinue all of their activities until the investigation is done completely . This was a serious issue . Till the case is brought to the court and the court gives its final judgement the hospital would remain sealed .
The atmosphere of the hospital was weary , the staffs were still unable to process everything . Some of them were spitting their hateful comments to the unknown culprits who had committed the heinous deeds and put everyone in trouble , some were in tears as their jobs were in danger and some of them were just upset , extremely upset to witness such secrets about their workplace . Melvine was one of the last category .
After a long while , the staffs started leaving the hospital with gloomy hearts . They always had respect and admiration for their hospital , they couldn't believe that one day their hospital could be charged with such extreme accusations .
Melvine was collecting her things from the locker room when someone knocked on the locker from the side . She turned her head and found Phil standing there .
" Officer Phil .... "
" You're here , Dr. Melvine . I thought , you've already left . "
" Do you have anything to do with me , officer ? " , she asked without any expression , her eyes were moist , it was clear that she was greatly hurt by the news .
" As I told you earlier I have some questions for you . And they are very important for this case . I hope , you'd co-operate with me . "
............
Melvine and Phil were sitting face to face in the locker room .
" Ms. Melvine , that night , did you really see no one outside your cabin ? "
Her eyes quivered a little as she got a bit surprised to hear the question but soon she recovered and replied , " Yes , I didn't see anyone . "
Phil looked at her without any expression and said , " Ms. Melvine don't you think that I must have some reason to ask you the same question ? "
She frowned a little as she didn't understand what he was trying to say . He said again , " You should co-operate with the investigation otherwise .... "
" Otherwise ? "
" You can get in trouble without even knowing . "
" What are you trying to say ? "
" You are not saying the truth . You definitely saw someone that night . But you are not admitting it ? "
" Why would I do that ? And why are you saying that I'm not saying the truth ? "
" Because I have the proof . "
Melvine frowned as Phil did something on his tab . Then he pushed it toward her . " Take a look . " , he said .
She looked at the screen . It seemed to be a cctv footage . The footage was very blurry but she didn't mistake the corridor to be the one which was outside the cabin she was allotted to at the night of the attack . Soon she saw a black hooded figure walking down the corridor , the next moment a woman wearing doctors' coat came running after him . There was no chance that she could deny that it was her . The footage went on for the next couple of minutes before Phil turned it off .
" Ms. Melvine , if I'm not wrong the woman in the footage is you , isn't so ? Or do you want me to confirm it with your colleagues ? "
Melvine just stared at him silently . She was nervous , very nervous still she prevented her emotions to be visible on her face .
" It is me . " , she said in a straight voice .
" So you've been lying so far that you didn't see anyone . But now I have proof that you did see one of them and that too from a very close range , I must say . So , can I ask what you two were talking about ? " , Phil said menacingly .
" We were not talking . Only I was speaking . "
" Since his back is facing the camera , I can't argue about that . Okay , so , what were you saying to him ? "
" A child was my patient that night . Things were very terrifying . When I saw him I became very angry , I couldn't control myself , so I went after him . I told him to leave us alone , there were many critical patients , I requested him to consider them . That's it . "
Phil had a sceptical expression on his face , he said , " And what did he say ? "
" He didn't say anything . "
" Did you see his face ? "
" No . His face was covered . "
Phil laughed a little , Melvine frowned .
" You're very bold Ms. Melvine . You approached a dark soul , talked to him , even held his collars and guess what , he didn't even say anything to you , he didn't harm you either . Isn't that too suspicious ? "
" I don't know why he didn't do anything to me . "
" Can you tell me , why you have been denying the truth so far ? Honestly speaking , you wouldn't have admitted it if I didn't have the footage . Isn't so ? "
" I didn't want to involve in any investigation process , I was just trying to stay out of all this . Nothing else . "
A moment of silence .
" Your reasons are not very trustworthy , Ms. Melvine . "
" I'm sorry but I can't do anything about it . I don't have anything more to say . So I'm leaving . "
She was about to leave but he held her wrist . " I'm not finished yet . "
She looked at his hand and said , " Officer Phil , Ryan told me that you happen to be a gangster . But please don't forget that you're not a gangster anymore , you're a police officer now . So behave like one . " , she pulled her wrist from him .
" If I behave with you like an officer I'm afraid you'd end up behind the bars . "
She remained silent for a moment and then spoke up , " You suspect that I have connection with that dark soul , right ? I've told you everything I had to . If you still have queries please find the answers yourself . " , with that she left .
' I know , you're still trying to hide something or should I say someone . Though recently the focus has shifted from the dark souls they are still my main target . And I won't leave a single trace that can lead me to them . And as I see it , it's going to be you . ' , he said in his mind .
