Chapter 3 - A CRIMINAL'S DEATH

The clock is striking 12:00 a.m but the public is not seen tired or in the mood to sleep. Instead, they are entertaining themselves at their fullest with the services offered by the famous five star hotel of Karachi. At the 2nd floor of the same Hotel, a man steps out from Room Number 21. He is sighing fearfully, looking frightened and nervous, wearing a black coat and pants over a white shirt. He is trying to hide the blotches of blood upon his shirt with his coat. He scrutinizes the passage carefully as he doesn't want to be seen and then enters room number 17. He flings his coat upon the bed after locking the door of the room and runs to the bathroom, unlatching the buttons of his shirt. He closes the door and wears off his shirt, washes his face and tries to remove the droplets of blood. His eyes suddenly fall over a chit placed at the side of the basin he picks it up and reads.

"An Eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, conclusively a life for a life."

The man turns and takes a meticulous view of the bathroom and then turns back to the mirror. In the mirror he sees the Man in Black but as he turns to look back he is not seen there as he might have vanished. He considers it as an illusion but he has heard about that entity hence becomes frightened and runs out of the bathroom but the door opens itself before he even touches it and the Man in Black is standing outside of the bathroom too close to the door. He blows a punch on his face and his tooth breaks and falls out then immediately hits his heart. He lifts his body by holding the curtain rod and captures his face by his feet and twists it. The Man in black is seen standing undaunted while the other man lies dead.
