"We're unsure. We can't predict him as the one behind Hannah. We have sent his body to mortuary for an autopsy…(thinks)Oh my god! We need to leave" replied Sofia. She hustles down the door, and I followed her. She starts running half a way and I asked, "Why are you running? Let's catch a cab…Look, there's a cab." She hesitates and starts running faster.
I stopped the cab and got in the cab. On the way, I pulled Sofia inside the cab and we were on our way to the mortuary. I called Steven but he was not picking up the call. We were worried as we don't want to be the third person behind the mysterious death of Hannah Ford and now, Steven and his friends.
We were putting ourself with best effort to reach them through phone but they were not picking it up. We were worried as if they're dead or killed by Dr. Thomas Line or the murderer who killed Hannah Ford. Finally, we reached the missing spot with a weary face, tensed up with fear. I shouted, holding the pistol, "Freeze! We're FBI." We followed to the reception and there was no receptionist. Finally, we walked down the stairs to the ground floor, shouting out for Steven and his friends but there was no answer.
We reached the basement; it was dark and I lit the lights. Hopes were success as Steven and his friends were tied up to a pillar, obviously injured with bloody mess in the room. There was no sign of Hannah's body in the mortuary room. I untied the knots, removed the tape which was strong, "How did this happen?" Steven gasped, "Well…it was Dr. Thomas Line who injured us badly. He didn't utter a single word about Hannah but he told me that someone told me to do so. Then, he tied us and fled to border. One more thing, he was drugged too..." Sofia replied, "Sachin, take them home and I'll investigate this wretched place. By the way, call some deputy from the station and release Jessica Brown by reminding her that she'll be invited again for suspicious activity…"
Steve said, "Why Jessica? She is an innocent girl but plays like a rich girl if she is abided with gifts of her father. We all like her..." Alex continued, "Yep, he's right. She is innocent and I'll never forget if she has committed a crime." I said, "Stop it, guys. End of discussion. I don't think why do you feel her as innocent as if she's your girlfriend." Sofia insisted to stay there until, I dropped these boys to their house with a safe gratitude. I also released Jessica Brown with a stern warning and told the Deputy to help Sofia. Finally, I went to my office and I was shocked to view the scenario of the whole room. I picked up my phone, to call Sofia but she was not picking it up.
I tried to call her again but she was not picking it up. Suddenly, I hear squeaky sound, I mean footstep sound approaching towards my desk. I hid near the book shelf, and the stranger was approaching near the book shelf with a crowbar in his hand. I was gasping for oxygen due to fear and obviously, I was weary and worried as I don't want to be dead. My pistol was missing as I left it in the mortuary.
They tried to investigate every inch of the mortuary department but none of them seem suspicious. But Sofia Rose is clever and genius like Enola Holmes. She walks down the basement again and she notices a door painted with same colour of wood but the arrangement of patterns is different. She calls the deputy to break it, and it was shocking as they've found….
While, I was saving every breath of my life as I was worried, not to be caught up in wrong hands. But the alarm was triggered, "There you are, Asst. FBI agent. You're caught at the right time. I'm right here to kill you for the committed crime. Stop suspecting everyone and leave this town. So, I'm here to warn you and hell, yeah, I took away all your samples except the strand of hair…" I replied, "Look, turn yourself in for shorter sentence…we'll testify for you."
He laughed, "Testament that I'm innocent…wow! You're clever..."
He walks closer, embraces me, whispers, "You're so dead. I'm the one and only to kill Sabrina King and Hannah Ford…" He swings the crowbar and hits me hard, right to my chest and he picks up a knife from his pocket. I tackle him, but he was strong enough. He stabs me right to the abdomen and leaves the place by crushing down the book shelf. He also destroyed the DNA testing machine. While, leaving the office, he shouts, "She is still alive. Come and save her if you can live for another day." He fled like an animal with a suspicious message.
While, the thing which surprised Sofia Rose is, the same boxes found in Brown's basement. The only difference is it is stored with jars of organs and drugs. She took a sample of the drug, told the deputy to seal down the mortuary department.
On the other side, I was struggling for life as I was severely injured. I crawled towards the desk to press the button as it will create an emergency signal to a nearby FBI person. Finally, I pressed the button and it created a wave of signal to Sofia. Few minutes later, Sofia was back to our office and she was surprised to view the scenario of the room. I was lying on the floor, unconscious, blood mixed with dirt flowing rapidly like a river. She was confused, calls for ambulance. She hustles forward, does the CPR technique but I was deeply unconscious due to the pain. She took out a first aid kit, tied the bandage to my abdomen, pressing hard to stop the blood.
The ambulance comes at the right time, they pick me up and admit to Trevewood General Hospital. Dr. Arthur Wilson takes me out to emergency room for immediate surgery. They perform CPR again, but I was irresponsible. Sofia was weeping outside the operation theatre, as she was my close friend from High School. Finally, they performed the surgery, plastered me with stitches, almost 36 stitches to my abdomen but I was unconscious. It was time to automated defibrators machine. Dr. Arthur said, "Switch it to 150V" It was a bit luck and finally he ordered it for 190V and it was a meagre success. Finally, 200V will be the last shot and the one last shot gave me life. It was a miracle for me and the doctors.
I regained my consciousness, gasping for respiration. Dr. Arthur said, "Take rest. You're alive and it's a miracle. You'll be discharged 2-days later." He leaves the operation theatre, towards Sofia Rose, "He lives for another day. He is special and obviously a miracle to this hospital." She was so excited to see me alive and expresses her gratitude to Dr. Arthur. She leaps for joy and thanks herself and God for helping out me with a spirit of joy. She walks down the canteen, picks up a special menu for an evening snack. On the other side, I was still wondering his last suspicious words. I was tired of thinking of Sabrina King. Sofia Rose enters the room with a cappuccino and burger, smiling like a high school student.
She sits beside me, tickles me with a perpetual smile and tensed face, "I was so worried about you. I'm so sorry that I didn't pick up your call. But the emergency call made you alive. I'm so happy that you're alive. Well, I need to inform you again, that I found something in mortuary..." I paused her, gasped for breath, "Can you lift me up?" She lifted me up, places the pillow beside my head which was fluffy like a cotton candy. I said, "The stranger is a man, I'm not sure of his age but he sounds like a man. He took all our samples, also crushed my DNA machine. By the way, when he stabbed me and fled like an animal, says a warning, 'SHE IS ALIVE. SAVE HER IF SHE LIVES FOR ANOTHER DAY.' I'm confused with the subject 'SHE'. Is it Hannah Ford or Sabrina King?"
She smiles, "It's really impossible for them to be alive. Obviously, he is manipulating your mind to evacuate you from the right track. The only thing we should note is that he is afraid of our duo thing. So, we can find him by cleaning off the debris in our office while you can take rest." I replied, "What's the special thing you've found in the mortuary basement?" "Well, we've found the same boxes with jars of organs and especially packets of drugs. We've deported it for drug testing. We'll get the results by midnight and I'll stay here beside you. I don't want another speck to fall on you as you're the only one who can lead this case after me."
I was shocked, "What the hell are you talking about? Why are you speaking things like death?" She smiled, "Since high school, as we're friends, I forgot to tell you an important thing but I didn't want to stress you out, by disturbing your love towards Sabrina King." I was surprised, "We used to share everything even it is depressing. I will never neglect anybody's words. Tell me..." She stammers, "The thing… is that I have been diagnosed by Blood cancer and the doctor says that I will never revive it or there is any cure for it. Last year, the doctor told me that I'm diagnosed with Stage-III cancer and there is nothing they can do to revive my life…I've done the therapy but it was unsuccessful."
I felt sad, wiping out my tears, "This will never neglect me from Sabrina King. There is something that disturbs you. I can hear your heartbeat; you feel nervous to tell that thing which I understand." She stammers, "What do you mean?" I smiled, "I knew it, you've this other feeling for me which cannot be measured. In other words, you felt this presence of…spirit of love. You were aware and strong to propose me on our senior year but the thing 'cancer' disturbs you. Because, you knew the end."
She chuckles, cries for a moment, walks up outside without a word. It was a sad moment for me to reject her in high school and now it is too late. So, I didn't want her to die in vain without her fulfilment.
Thus, I called Dr. Arthur and he was worried by seeing my condition. I said, "I really thank you for saving my life. But I need to save someone who is already dying." He smiled, "But, the stitches will not hold longer if you injure yourself." I replied, "Well, I don't think it as a pain for me but can you please discharge me or not?" Finally, he agreed to discharge me from the hospital.
While, Dr.Thomas Line who escaped in the hands of Trevewood police was in loose. He was in the border along with Sheriff Jack and Mayor William. They were whispering something where no one knew it, not even me. Sheriff Jack said, "We need to move this body from Trevewood town. Otherwise, our boss will kill us." "Yep, you're right. But, how can we do this?" replied Dr. Thomas. "Well, we can decompose her in the river. It's the perfect place because no one can witness it" said Mayor William.
"You are really cunning and intelligent but not like those two shitheads" shouted BOSS. "B…o…. boss, we were un...unaware that… you're here" stammered Dr. Thomas Line. He slowly inserts his hand in his coat pocket, picks up pistol, loads it with a bullet in the pistol. He points towards Dr. Thomas Line, "You deceived me, not because you're alive today but you made a big mistake" said Boss. He was worried, stammers in fear, "Bo…Boss, I'm really sorry. We'll solve the mystery of this girl."
