"Who are you I am asking you something, you deaf or what?" The old man again asked raising his eyebrows.
The old man was behaving too calmly with him but he sealed his mouth and after a few second standing there he barged into his house following the rest of the men. He makes himself relax on his sofa as he owns it, not giving a shit about anyone.
"What kind of manners you lack young man?"
"First you broke my door, then all of your cartoon-like armed men hostages us, then you barged into my house resting on my sofa, I am not gonna tolerate this at all."
"We will compensation for your damage"
The man turned around when another man opened his mouth.
"Glad someone opened their mouth at least. You young man, now tell me who are you and he. What is your business with us."
"We knocked on your door a couple of times but….
He didn't let him finish his words he threw his words at them
"So you decided to break it. My my my. Enough of this I will just call the police now."
The man was about to pick up his phone from the table when he finally uttered to speak
"Where is Ryan?" he questioned the man directly nothing extra nothing dramatic making him stunned for a minute.
"Whom are you talking about, who is Ryan?"
"The guy who used to stay at your house"
Startled a bit he gestured her daughter and wife to leave the hall as he didn't feel safe for them to be around these guys. He was himself thinking about what kind of person they were and what they want from him.
"You interrupt again ok fine now honour me to tell your name?"
"Austin"
"Surname?"
the man raised his eyebrows not satisfied with his answer.
"That does not matter."
His answer was also very stiff and all of this drama was turning him frustrated he raised his voice because the man on the sofa was something else. Everything but good. And he had a family to save. He wants them to leave as soon as possible. He understands who is the boss now and all of them will be listening to him only him. He straight went for him and pointed his hands towards the broken gate.
"First leave my house right now, for whoever you are searching for does not live here, so lea…..
"Don't try to act smart with me. It will take me a second to shut your useless mouth. Use your head to remember before your family had to remember you for good."
He stands up from the sofa greets his teeth in annoyance pulls out his gun from his pocket and points directly at his heart. Immediately the man turned silent. Exactly the only fear he was feeling inside. Seeing him like this and the way he said all this made it too clear that whatever he is saying it's not a simple threat, he surely could do it. He stammered a bit before opening his mouth
"I really do not know whom you are about, but perhaps he was the guy who stayed in my house on the last block of this colony. There is one of my apartments, a white one. I don't know his name as Ryan he was Aiden. He used to be a corporate guy. Used to leave early in the morning before we could even know and come very late at night."
"Is he him? Austin showed a photo of him
The man looked at that for a good minute then said no. Damien was just listening, looking into that man's eyes as if he were reading what his eyes were telling him.
"Where he is now?" Austin asked
"He was even 2 days ago, but maybe he went overseas for his work, I really don't know. I said what I know, even it is not what you wanted to know but that was it from me, so just please leave me and my family now."
He dropped his gun and for a brief second look around all over the drawing room and then left. The man sighed in relief and turned to ask him who was he actually. But he was already out of reach for him.
The man followed them and stood at his door saw all of them leaving the place. He was tensed about who they were. Who was he? Why does he break into his house? He cannot just forget his stares. What he was actually. He was anything but a human he thought. He cannot deny the fact that the aura he witnessed of him he never saw someone like him. It was uncontrollable for him to ignore his presence. He thought how could a man be this calm but eyes filled with restlessness? He sighed and then looked at his door which was broken. He came back to his senses and cursed them for his loss.
"You are about to compensate for my damage you fool ." He screamed out of his frustration and went inside the home.

Rain was pouring heavily drenching her fully, but she does not seem to care about that. Her tears ware getting mixed with those heavy drops of rain.
The road was foggy and almost everything her eyes was seeing was blurry because of the heavy rain. She angrily wipes her tears and went to last block of the colony. Where she goes every time she feels down. She calmed herself down.
"God gifted me such natural ability of crying over everything , don't you?"
She looked upon the sky eyes was being shut for the rain. She laughed at herself and speed up her pace started to run and was crazily laughing. Seems like she just found something very pleasing and that her made giggling like that. After all she was an expert for being this much dramatic to find her own happiness.
That is what her favorite pass time since childhood to how to stay calm even in her crucial moment. She splashed water with her feet jumping in the street, and continued her conversation with her own mind.
-------
"This is the house he is talking about, He did said truth, that the person he lives here was Aiden. I mean the policy issue of the house is named after Aiden Salvator. But the thing he lied about was…."
"That he was here 2 days ago." Damien stopped him
Austin was telling him about everything the man said to them. They were standing in front of the white house, which they thought Ryan used to stay.
"From the past 6 month this house is abandoned, no electricity, no one saw anyone to come here, As for my observation about this colony is only some rich people lives here. Most are business background families. I am not sure if the man actually didn't know something or maybe he was lyi…."
"He lied whole the time."
Damien stopped Austin from further talking. He noticed everything, nothing can pass him eyes. His eyes were telling that he knows everything about him but why he was hiding what could be his reason that was unknown to him. But he was sure that either he will tell them what he is or his dead body will speak from the grave.
"Keep an eyes to this family, damn sure I will find him through them.
"Yes boss."
He turned around to leave, he again stopped on his track and looked at the house.
Eyes blank no one could say what he is thinking. He pushed the umbrella which was shedding him till now drenching himself fully in the heavy rain. He thought something only to saying
"Break this house into pieces."
Nothing more is need to say for him. Austin nodded as he left from there. Austin instructed, and all of the armed man understand what their task is.
Just after some minute the house demolished turned into nothing but a plain soil.
Austin witnessed everything, adding more….
"Burn the rest, even you had to tackle the rain, let nature see the deadly rage of wrath."
All the boys stunned after hearing him but eventually followed what they have been told. Damien saw this from his car far away from the place, but not any reaction came from him. That was normal for him lets saying pleasing for him.
He lights up a cigarette, leaned his head down on the car seat closed his eyes and started to consumed the drugs like he is living on support of this. Where in real it was consuming him to death. The fire started burning, flames were struggling with the drops of rain. Eventually the rain calmed and was pouring in drops which can be count if one tries to. May be the rage of fire was much stronger than the peace of rain.
"Oh god who are you guys and why you are burning this house down."
