The Strange Case !
The taxi stopped at Earlybird magzine building . There were currently people going in and out while some people were gathered and discussing something . Gary steeped out of the taxi and gave the driver $200 . He started to walk away after giving that but the taxi driver popes his head out of the window and said loudly
"Hey mate there is $50 short in it."
Gary didn't turn back and said still walking
"Keep the change "
The taxi driver was speechless
"Fk weirdos "
the taxi driver cursed at Gary for full minute then did he drove off from anger . It's looks like the fat ship turned out to be a cunning fox .
.......
Gary entered inside the Earlybird company and soon he was greeted by many people .
"Good morning Mr. Gary "
"You are late Mr .Gary "
Likewise Gary said with a smile
"Good morning Dr. Kim's ".
"Not really. My time is correct "
As he said he pointed at his watching which was showing 9: 0O AM . The person looked at his watch in daze and soon cursed at him for shameless . The time was 9: 15 and it's a true time but Gary set up his watch time as 9: 00 to fool people . But he checked his time when Gary showed his watch or else he would also become one of the fools .
Gary went towards the receptionist where a lady was working on her computer while answering calls at the same time. The lady was 30 years old who was wearing white shirt and black skirt with a bright red lipstick she was the one of the beautiful women in the Earlybird magzine , Jenny .
"Good morning Jenny "
The lady looked at Gray and pointed at the phone while signalling for him to wait with a apologize look.
Gray nodded and took out a magzine from nearby table and started to browse it slowly but suddenly he was called out by someone behind him .
"Yo Gary whats up ma-"
The person stooped midway when Gary raised his face towards his direction.
"Holy are you in drugs or what ? Why is your face pale "
Gary looked at the person and thought he was bullshiting so he said in annoyance
"Olvin why don't you go meet your little darling ? Instead you came here to cause headache for others."
Olvin happy face become stiff but next moment he looked behind and saw the receptionist looking at him with questioning face .
'Damm it this b@stard set me up'
olvin immediately broke out in cold sweat and hurriedly said
" What nonsense are you talking ? "
As he said he leaned slowly to Gary and said hurriedly
"How did you know that ? And why do you want to say in that front of my wife ! Are you trying to kill me?"
Gary looked at him in disdain and changed the subject . He lowered his voice and said
"Enough bullshit ! Do you have any news about that murder in dark alley case ?"
Olvin face changed and he looked around in panicking , making sure that no one is near them after that he said to Gary in serious tone
"That's something becoming hot recently . I don't have any idea why is that case on hot topic but Im one thing sure is that these case is something strange which the higher upps are not disclosing any information "
Gary was not surprised about this so he said naturally without any change in his expression
"May be it's some public figure or a celebrity murdered there ?"
Olvin shook his head and said with confidence tone
"No it can't be because no celebrity has gone missing these past weeks and with these strict patrols do you think a murder can be happened in the dark alley at evening where there was still people roaming ?"
Gary couldn't help but say
"You mean?"
Olvin neared at Gary right ear side and said slowly
"There is a rumour that it is a dealing of supernatural !"
Gary froze hearing this and couldn't help but ask again
"Do you even believe this rumour?"
Olvin shook his head and said with uncertainty
"If it was before I would not but this case is more complicated than you think so I don't dare to have any thoughts about it " .
Olvin suddenly looked at him with a puzzled face
"Why are you suddenly interested in this Case ? Isn't your only job to be editor ?"
Gary said in matter of fact tone
"Because I'm concerned about the well being of the society "
Olvin became speechless .
"Dude dont you want to atleast find a reasonable lies first before saying ?"
Gary didn't pay any attention to this guy but he was thinking something else because he thought that he can get rewards by providing clues but now he started to hesitate when he heard that it is related to supernatural cases .
Even through the reward was not bad but he didn't want to take unnecessary risk which may cost his life And what more he didn't even know the pair of yellow eyes was really the accomplice or not. So he was about to drop out from this starnge case but he wanted to ask some more questions so he was about to ask something to Olvin when he heard a voice calling for him.
"Mr. Gary . The head is calling for you " .
Gary didn't trun back but replied casually to that person
"Ok I will go visit there once I'm done here "
The Person nodded and left .
Gary turned back to Olvin to ask more questions but he saw that guy was already at Jenny place buttering her up .
"This guy can't he just stay at one place for a minute ?"
Gary shook his head and went to meet the head of the editor department.
He knocked the on the door and said politely
"Mr . Charles can I come in?"
Next moment he heard a deep voice coming from inside the door .
"Come in "
It was the Editor department head Charles voice.
