"Aa... A... Hey I was just kidding Alex what is that I don't have that much cash right now so I'll give you a 105 carat (21.6 g) diamond, get it checked if you want you can, I'll come to Kingham myself tomorrow and take King Arthur's sword", Dr. Zakir, sensing the urgency of the occasion, offered to give him the diamond belonging to the Commander. Alex agreed and the Doctor took the diamond from his locker.
The doctor knew very well the secret of the diamond because it was personally linked to the Commander's soul that he had kept for these days .
Alex took the diamond and examined it thoroughly, " The diamond looks real, I'll take it and sell it tomorrow, you come and pick up your cargo", Alex told the doctor and left with his men.
The doctor heaved a sigh of relief and had a dangerous smile on his face as he knew very well who was going to scream next.
A new bloody game was about to begin as the diamond had the commander's name attached to it.
"Why are so many cars parked here, is there some special reason today, or is Henry in love with the one above," Alex asked his two companions as they reached Henry's house.
"Boss I forgot to mention, it's Henry's sister Jennifer's birthday, it's great stuff, that's why Henry is our favorite of all of us", sitting in the front seat of the car, Alex's special man said to Alex sitting behind.
"Is his sister really a cracker, then he will have to meet her, now that he has come to meet Henry, he will also go on congratulating his younger sister on her birthday, why... ha... ha...ha", Alex tells his teammates and starts laughing loudly, the comrades sitting in the car with him also start laughing with him.
The vulgarity in his thoughts could be clearly felt.
The trio got out of the car and headed to Henry's house, as they approached the door, one of Alex's companions rang the doorbell and both stood behind Alex as bodyguards.
After a while the door opened and a beautiful girl appeared.
"Who do you want to meet?" she asked the three of them.
"We've come to see Henry, we all work together, an important issue to discuss with him," Alex explained to the young woman as the reason for his visit.
"I'm Henry's fiancée, come in please," the young woman said of her relationship with Henry and asked him to come in.
"Well, what's special today, there's a lot of people gathered in the backyard of the house, it looks like there's probably a party," Alex cleverly asked the young woman about the party going on, oblivious to her.
"Oh... yes, it's Henry's little sister Jennifer's birthday today. Her friends have a small party, you sit here, I'll send Henry", the girl asks them to sit and call Henry back at the back of the house.
She went to the yard.
After some time Henry arrives there, he used to work for Alex, he was a little surprised to see Alex and his special bodyguards.
On seeing them, Henry asked the reason for their arrival, Alex explained the whole thing to him.
"Do you still have that diamond?" Henry asked curiously to Alex.
"Yeah, look at this", Alex replies yes and takes out the same diamond from his pocket and gives it to Henry which was given to him by Doctor Zakir.
"This is a complete 105 carat diamond, so far only one diamond of such a large size has been seen Kohinoor, which was kept by the Queen in the museum here, it is said that Kohinoor itself was the only diamond of such a large size but many experts say that this is not true at all, apart from Kohinoor, there were many such diamonds which were so big or more than this, but only Kohinoor is remembered in history, it is absolutely real", Henry told Alex after examining the diamond thoroughly.
"Very good that's why I have come to you, can you settle the deal and come to Kingham, there the money will be exchanged, the doctor will reach there the day after tomorrow, this work should be done before he reaches there, so we've come to you, you've got to settle the deal and get to Kingham by tomorrow", said Alex, giving directions to Henry.
"Boss it's sister's birthday party, go after eating the cake", Henry pleaded with Alex.
"Oh no, thanks for asking, but we're in a bit of a hurry right now, have to go back after doing some more important work, what are we going to do at the college kids' party?", Alex replied to Henry and then left from there with his two men.
Henry safely kept the diamond in his drawer and went to the backyard of his house where he had organized the party, the party in full swing, all the young men enjoying it, including Amelia and Michelle.
That's when Henry and his girlfriend came on stage with a trolley of a huge cake on top and "Happy Birthday Jennifer" written on it.
Jennifer blows out the candles and cuts the cake, everyone sings the birthday song, Jennifer feeds the biggest piece to her brother Henry, then to her fiancée, then Amelia and Michelle take two pieces of cake to prove they are good friends.
She put it on Jennifer's face which made her face colored, in return Jennifer did the same.
There was a wave of happiness in everyone.
The dance song started again. The three girls went towards the washroom to clean their faces.
Jennifer and Michelle clean their faces and quickly invite Amelia to the party.
Amelia was on her way from the washroom to the backyard of the house when she saw a bright flashing light from Henry's study room, she stood there for a while and began to think about the reason for that light.
She could not believe her eyes at first, but after looking at it for a while, she felt that her ears had also deceived her as she heard a voice "Come here Amelia, come to me", Amelia was terribly terrified.
She couldn't believe her ears that someone had actually called by her name, but her suspicions turned into conviction when the study room door opened with the sound of "charrrrrrrr" from where the bright light was emanating and once again
Someone said in a loud voice, "Come here Amelia, fear not, come here to me", Amelia, as hypnotized on hearing that voice, followed her towards the study room.
"Let me go... I didn't tell anyone... Let me go... Boss... I have little kids," an unknown man begs for mercy but Alex is unwilling to show mercy to him.
It was like there was blood on it.
"Do you know bastard, I have suffered because of you and I can't bear the loss, because of you my two special men have been killed who had many valuables, the police took everything into their custody after killing them both ," said Alex, pulling the man's hair.
" Boss believe me I have not done anything like this... rather I was helping both of them to escape from there... but in this the police surrounded them from all sides... we did what we can do too... but what to do boss", said the man explaining his point to Alex, but perhaps Alex was not ready to accept it.
You know I had to come here to London in search of you, I had kept my news behind you, he had informed you of being here", Alex continued, asking his men to pick him up and both of them stood up. Alex continued, "What are you doing with your lady luck here in this hotel room after such a big accident, you shouldn't even sleep because of worry, I had such a big loss and you're having fun here with your fantos, brother-in-law, you got the police red-handed" Alex also lashed out with two strong punches that ripped his lips and blood was oozing out, but still Alex did not listen to his heart. He drew a six round revolver from his pocket, a Smith & Wesson Model 60 - 1965. As soon as he realized it, he pointed it on his skull, the rookie fellow's sweat began to break.
