Chapter 6 - 6. The Gift

As the stocks grew, everyone applauses there. He became centre of attention for all. He became so eye catchy. Everyone was gazing at the stocks grew up in the screen. The whole screen was displaying the stocks as the red line moved up in an instance. There came a scream everywhere in the room. Everyone started to chatter around.

"It's bullish. The market is bullish." 

The man near the screen exclaimed with the clear concise. He immediately stood up from his desk full of energy and yelled laughing," Now, I will be rich." 

Yes... Yes...

Everyone was shocked there as the stock's price grew higher and higher.

Kim was looking at the computer screen as it moved all around. The whole room was fantasizing the things around. He murmured," This stock will run for another forty-five days with a bullish market." There was nothing that he could do apart from smiling as they looked at him with curious. He thought looking at the suspicious eyes everywhere in the room," I have graduated with mathematics. Obviously, its piece of cake for me to solve such a problem."

His eyes met the Doctor Wan who was standing at the corner of the room and looking from behind. He stood from behind and spoke in a soft tone," I could rarely do the things in a high-profile way" spoke in a mimicry voice.

He gazed at him as their eyes met with each other. Doctor Wan spoke," you shouldn't have taken such a risk with your high profile understanding of stocks." He spoke angrily, "I didn't expect you to stand against him and recall the day off."

Kim spoke smiling," Doctor, your dress suits you well." He spoke in a ridiculous way," This is the good beginning after all." He paused, "I suggest you change your profession." Kim smiled as he passed from there with a sigh.

Doctor Wan angrily looked at him with his reluctant eyes looking back at him. There was nothing that he could do out of his work. He left from there with a frustration and hurried away from the door pushing all the air out of the room.

 The thumping sound of his footsteps was clearly heard as he walked down the staircase. Maybe he didn't take the lift out from his own concern, but his looks and expressions were totally out of nowhere. Somehow, he managed to leave from there silently.

Kim looked as he left from there and passed from the door and disappeared in the corridor. He tried to look back to stocks chart but an employee from his behind spoke," sir" It was a soft voice as if he had heard it before. there was no question or calculation in his words but simple with meanings in it. 

He looked back and saw that it was the same individual performing the stocks. He was Ram. His looks were quite decent with glowing smile in his face.

Kim looked at him and asked," did you call me?"

" Sorry to interrupt you, sir." He replied with a pause," we got a courier boy at the gate, and he left a gift box for you. The box was quite unusual unlike the gift box." he continued," I have never such gift box, so I asked to keep it in your office at top floor." 

Kim murmured to himself being aware of his office room," so my office is at top floor." He nodded as if he had agreed and understood everything there.

He didn't think about anything and immediately left from there hurrying towards the lift. Then the lift opened up at the top floor. He found himself at the top floor totally open up. The entire floor was breezing with cold air. He could see the view of entire city from there. It was totally open space with glass room beside it.

He bathed himself in the cold air roaming all over his veins. The beautiful sight that he could see from there was all the beautiful incidents. The busy workers dangling with their works. The cars floating on the road and traffic was changing its light red and green.

''Wow, its beautiful.''

"Really? " A lady voice came from his behind. He immediately looked back as he easily recognized the voice. The voice looked so familiar that he forgot the beauty of beautiful sight near him. His face freeze with the beautiful glow in front of him.

He found that it was none other than vice-chairman Ms. Yie. She was looking at him with the delegate smile in her face. She spoke," I always thought that you were always a lone wolf, but I didn't expect it to be so warming here that you have even received the gift from your friends." It's really plausible and surprising." 

She laughed looking at the black box with a surprise and spoke," I didn't expect you to have a friend who still remembers you. How about I look to this gift." She spoke in a teasing voice, but Kim immediately moved ahead trying to stop her as he found that there was something wrong with the box.

She was out of reach for him and tried to tear down the cover which was boldly written:

"Are you a joker?

Or

You are a joke!"

She rushed to open it as Kim snatched it from her hand.

"This is precious. If you want to know what's inside, then you must need to promise me something."

Ms. Yie was surprised by hearing such a promising word from him. She smiled and spoke," it's quite unusual of you." There is nothing that anyone can do about it with her doubtful expression then she replied," I have never seen you talking so much and always full of gust." She paused all of sudden with her cold face as the entire terrace filled with silence.

She asked in a single word," what do you need from me? "

He immediately moved from there and approached towards her. He went near her and spoke with a smile," why don't you give me a good kiss?" Her face changed in red, but she smiled and spoke," sure! why don't you close your eyes?'' 

He immediately closed his eyes as she moved towards him and punched his face with a full strength. His face clinched in a pain and spoke with a smile," ouch, it was a good kiss." He covered his face with one palm and looked all over the empty terrace and smiled.

"Do you need another punch?'' she snatched the box from his hand and opened it. Kim tried to move his hand out of reach but pulled back as he remembered back the punch. "Did you learn some self-defence skill in your childhood." 

''huh''

She screamed as the cloudy figure up roared out from the box with a sonorous sound. She immediately threw the box to the ground. Her heartbeat was rising faster and faster as the dark figure became clearer and clearer. The dark bubble came out from the box. The voice became louder and clearer.

She leaned down towards it to look inside the box gathering her courage and saw the only leftover things. It was a black doll. She moved her hand towards it but as her hand moved closely. The doll woke up making her scream out loud again.

Kim immediately closed her mouth and looked at the doll closely. The doll started to sing:

"Twinkle Twinkle little star 

how I wonder what you are?"

The music filled the silence with fear.

Kim immediately picked up the doll and observed the doll clearly with a familiar look. He spoke," I think I have seen this doll before."

He loosened his hand that was holding Ms. Yie. She immediately startled and hit him with her leg talking hardly," how can you hold me so tightly. I was almost suffocated to death." 

Kim spoke," You are too bold." He tried to stop her as they all stood up.

He spoke," wait!"

As they got separated and spoke," this doll doesn't seem good sign."

She spoke," I remember it" looking closely at the doll. She spoke," this doll closely looks like the serial crime that happened ten years ago which was handled by detective Kim."

Kim smiled as he heard his name uttering with such a respect. He spoke," when I was solving the case."

Sorry, I mean Detective Kim

The way he solved the case and the only pattern that was found in the entire case was this doll. 

He continued," Whoever got the doll at that time was killed along with their entire family." He immediately threw the doll to the ground and started to look towards the city."

Ms. Yie spoke," Does this mean that we all are going to die."

Kim spoke," look at this building. This doll was operated with remote, and the controller must be nearby it."

Ms. Yie spoke," Look there."

A man holding a remote at the ground just behind the building was standing. As he saw Ms. Yie pointing her fingers towards the man then he immediately starts to run.

Kim hurried back towards the stairs to catch him. Ms. Yie followed him from there.
