Chapter 6 - 6.The Deadly Trap

Kali Da and Ritwick prepared for their online session with Trikone Wellness Centre. They set

up their laptop and their voice changer device in a hotel room. They checked their recording

software and their internet connection. They made sure that they had no other distractions

or interruptions.

They were ready to face Dr. Roy and his team of therapists.

They clicked on the link that they had received in the confirmation email. They entered a

virtual waiting room, where they saw a message that said:

"Welcome to Trikone Wellness Centre. Your session will begin shortly. Please wait for your

therapist to join you."

They waited for a few minutes, feeling nervous and curious.

Then, they saw another message that said:

"Your therapist has joined the session. Please say hello."

They heard a voice that said:

"Hello, this is Dr. Roy. I'm your therapist for today. How are you feeling?"

The voice sounded friendly and professional, but also slightly robotic.

Kali Da and Ritwick looked at each other and nodded. They activated their voice changer

device and spoke in a low and raspy tone.

"Hello, Dr. Roy. We are feeling depressed and suicidal. Can you help us?" They said.

"Of course, we can help you. We are here for you. We care about you." Dr. Roy said.

Kali Da and Ritwick felt a chill run down their spine as they heard Dr. Roy say those words.

They felt that they were not sincere, but rather manipulative and sinister.

They decided to play along and see what Dr. Roy would do.

"Thank you, Dr. Roy. We appreciate your help." They said.

"You're welcome. We are happy to have you as our customers." Dr. Roy said.

He paused for a moment and then said:

"Before we begin our session, I need to ask you a few questions. Is that okay?"

"Sure, go ahead." They said.

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation." Dr. Roy said.

He asked them some basic questions, such as:

• What are your names?

• How old are you?

• Where do you live?

• What do you do for a living?

• What are your hobbies and interests?

Kali Da and Ritwick answered the questions with some fake information, such as:

• Our names are Ravi and Raju.

• We are 25 years old.

• We live in Kolkata.

• We work as software engineers.

• We like to play video games and watch movies.

Dr. Roy listened to their answers and typed them on his keyboard.

He nodded and said:

"Okay, I see. Thank you for sharing that with me."

He paused for another moment and then said:

"Now, I need to ask you some more personal questions. These questions are related to your

mental health condition. Is that okay?"

"Sure, go ahead." They said.

"Okay, thank you for your trust." Dr. Roy said.

He asked them some more personal questions, such as:

• When did you start feeling depressed and suicidal?

• What are the reasons for your depression and suicidal thoughts?

• How often do you feel depressed and suicidal?

• How do you cope with your depression and suicidal thoughts?

• Have you ever attempted suicide or harmed yourself?

Kali Da and Ritwick answered the questions with some made-up information, such as:

• We started feeling depressed and suicidal about a year ago.

• The reasons for our depression and suicidal thoughts are our family problems, our

financial problems, our relationship problems, and our work problems.

• We feel depressed and suicidal every day.

• We cope with our depression and suicidal thoughts by drinking alcohol, smoking

cigarettes, taking drugs, or cutting ourselves.

• We have attempted suicide several times by overdosing on pills or slashing our wrists.

Dr. Roy listened to their answers and typed them on his keyboard.

He shook his head and said:

"I'm sorry to hear that. That sounds very painful and difficult."

He paused for another moment and then said:

"Now, I need to ask you one last question. This question is very important for your treatment

plan. Is that okay?"

"Sure, go ahead." They said.

"Okay, thank you for your honesty." Dr. Roy said.

He asked them the final question:

"Do you have any tattoos on your body?"

Kali Da and Ritwick felt a shock as they heard Dr. Roy ask them that question.

They realized that he was onto them.

They realized that he knew who they were.

They realized that he was the killer.

They realized that they were in danger.

They tried to end the session and disconnect from the website.

But it was too late.

Dr. Roy smiled wickedly and said:

"I thought so."

He pressed a button on his keyboard.

A loud beep sounded from their laptop.

A message appeared on their screen that said:

"Thank you for choosing Trikone Wellness Centre. Your session has ended. Please rate your

experience and leave a feedback."

The message was followed by a countdown timer that said:

"Your device will explode in 10 seconds. Have a nice day."

Kali Da and Ritwick screamed in horror as they saw the message and the timer.

They jumped from their seats and ran towards the door.

They tried to open the door and escape.

But it was locked.They banged on the door and shouted for help.

But no one heard them.

They looked at each other and hugged each other.

They said their final words to each other.

They closed their eyes and waited for the end.

The timer reached zero.

The laptop exploded.

The room exploded.

They exploded.

Dr. Roy watched the explosion on his screen.

He laughed maniacally and said:

"Another triangle completed."

He added another star to his collection of tattoos on his left arm.

He had a snake, a rose, and a star.

He had three triangles.

He had nine arms.

He had nine victims.

He had nine trophies.

He was satisfied.

For now.
