Chapter 39 - The Footage

It was now 7 in the morning, the sun shone brightly. The morning light was piercing through the window and lit up the place. Isac was already up, working on his laptop, typing away something. Last night he had asked Michael to look into the cctv and he was yet to receive the footage from him.

Last night michael was surprised and shocked when he heard that isac was not going to go to the office the next day, he wondered what made the workaholic boss of his take a break from the office work. Although he had told him to email the documents, he was still shocked that he was not going to turn up.

Michael was already shocked when he heard such news from the boss, but he was even more curious about last night's footage.

The cctv did not cover everything that faced the valley, given the fact that it was too dark he couldn't completely figure out what was happening. Without wasting much time, he soon sent all those files to Isac through email. He understood that something was wrong and he was sure that Isac would tell him what was the actual issue later on.

He moved on from this to other work, he arranged all the files that was to be reviewed, and few other documents that was to be signed. He decided to drop by Isac's place so that he could get everything done and know what had happened. He also informed his subordinates that all the documents they had was to be submitted to him instead of Isac for the day.

Isac received the email titled cctv footage. He paused for a moment. He couldn't help but hesitate a little to open the file. He took a deep breath and decided to watch the footage.

At first he couldn't find anything, it was a little difficult for him to see as it was too dark, but he somehow managed to zoom into the video and take a good look. He skipped to the time where he had come to the office to get the file but he realised that things had started way before he even came to the office.

He could notice that a person dragging a woman towards the valley from the road, and they went into the valley, later on he couldn't see anything else. He watched for somemore time and that was few minutes he had arrived. He saw a person with a long hair which he figured that it was calista holding on to the dress and ran a little stumbling on her way when he saw another person come behind her and drag her. That was when he heard a scream. He couldn't believe his eyes when he watched the video. He couldn't tolerate how the other person was abusing her, by kicking and punching. All of these happened when he went inside to get the file. By the time he came out the other person also left, while Calista was curled into a ball in pain.

He was beyond disgusted. How can a person treat someone like that? All though he did not know what had truly happened, what that stupid person did was not right. That person had to be put behind the bars.

Isac heard someone knock on the door and he went to get it. It was Michael. "Good Morning, work from home? that is so unlike you!" Michael commented but he was ignored. Isac got back to the couch to trim the footage. Michael stood behind him and watched the footage with Isac and his jaw dropped. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. "What the hell" Michael said. "Did you not look into this?" Isac asked him. " I did, but i could barely see anything, maybe i should get my eyes checked" Michael answered. He was flustered. Truly he could not see anything but a dimly lit street light and darkness. He should really get his eyes checked!.
