CHAPTER 29
PART !
Waking up…. and Sleeping
**Earlier in the evening b4 Kashish had made her escape… **
Sujal entered K's office with Sid and immediately got held back.
You just don't enter the state coroner's office without permission. But luckily they found Jake there who argued with his senior and helped them gain access to k's office.
J –ok guys. This is all I can do. Please.. Be out in 10 mins or my boss will have my neck. If you need me I am in my office.
Sujal –thanks Jake, let us know if you hear anything from Kashish .
Sb4 they could enter Sujal held Sam back and asked him to give a detail description of each and everything in the room. Starting from the position of the door mat to the chair in which Kashish sat. He didn't wanna disturb anything and anything out of line was a clue. If only he could see… Sid was trying but he wasn't a professional, his eyes were trained to see what Sujal would have seen the minute they entered the room.
Slowly they moved in and Sid told Sujal about her desk and drawers and moved on to papers. It seemed as if everything was in perfect order.
S – So there is no disarray nothing spilt , torn or unexpected here?
Sid –nothing that I can see. Everything is ship shape. Just how a proper working desk should be. There is no sign of anything having gone wrong here.
S – is there something burned here? In the waste basket? I smelled ash when I entered but I am not so sure now.
Sid –no it's empty… but wait…(Sid reached down and carefully checked the basket again) there are bits of black ash like thing under the table…
S – Hmmm… what file is on top of her desk and drawer…
Sid – ah… ii don't think we should touch her papers.. Oh well.. Who would know… on her desk well they are just documents like inventory of bodies I think and in the drawer…. There is the case file of a Mr. reddy…
S –Mr. reddy 45 yr old? That case is being fought by Piyush… why would she have it? Let's go.. Nothing more here…
Just as they were leaving the building an old man came up to them and greeted them, apparently he claimed to one of k's friends..
Old man –she asked me for some reports on some eye treatment… I am sorry I didn't prove helpful.. Guess she just got frustrated and burned it. Anyways if you meet her b4 me tell her that I got some other similar things lined up and I would give her a report on them if she still wants it.
S –I am sure she would.. Perhaps they got burned by accident.. Why don't you send a copy of that and other op. to her home.. It's really not a part of her office work and she might get in trouble if any1 sees them
Old man- I see what you mean. I would do that. Goodbye.
Sid –what was that all about? What op reports?
S – I don't know.. But then I don't know everything that Kashish does.. One thing is certain that report may be very imp if she wasn't the one who burned it and Kashish is in big trouble. She never keeps paper lying on her desk and she would never again under any circumstances take piyush's case.. Something is dam wrong. And maybe Piyush can tell us why his case papers are there…
************
Although Sam wanted to rush to rin and tell her ht they had just found out he had make himself stop. What had Sujal said it might be one of us… it might even be kaveri… No! I cannot believe it. No one had been so helping and supporting than her about everything since the day she came to our house, she never even complained when none of us helped her with any work…. I have to face it… it just can't be my brother's wife…..
Sam knocked on rin's door and entered…
Rin –SAM!!!!
Rin….
Rin –what are you doing HERE???!!!!! Didn't I tell you all tog o away? Why? Why do you want me to die?
Sam –calm down rin. You know I don't want that. I just came to check if you were all right. Also I had to sign permission for Nancy to stay with nick.
Rin –u needn't have come and why Nancy? Why not sanskriti?
Sam –since you got threatened … we didn't want to take chances. are you ok?
Rin –yah. Now go.
Sam –Is this how you talk to your husband? Rin I really do car ea about u, but recently we have learned certain things and I had to came and tell you.
Rin –what did you learn? Do you know who is it? Can you stop this madness? Tell me!!!!
Sam moved near rin and looked at her with love.. Kaveri would never hurt even a fly…. And regret….. Rin never acted nice with anyone….
Sam –it depends on you rin… if you tell me how you're planning to kill us all after feigning to be the hurt party.. I might be able to stop this madness….
Rin –Sam!! What are you sayi-
Unable to hear anymore lest his resolve be broken. Sam put his fingers around his wife's throat and tightened his hold. It killed him to do this but he had to. Perhaps he will kill himself too….
Am looked painfully as rin fluttered useless trying to loosen his grip her breathing hitched and her face turning bluish white. Just a few seconds more and then it all would be over…
####CRASH####
Sam felt a sudden pain on his head and collapsed instantly.
Kaveri stepped over Sam's motionless body with a dark face, holding metal metal rod in her hand.
Kaveri –u ok rin?
Rin unable to speak, gasped for air and slowly nodded her head.
Kaveri –good. Sorry I am late. As soon as I saw him walking in I knew he was up to no good. What do you think we should do with him?
Rin –I n…never.. Sam!!! Totally unexpected…… we have to restrain him for one.
Kaveri immediately got to work. Checking Sam's wound, making sure they weren't too deep, not that she cared that much right now, she tied him with bits of clothing.
Rin drinking water now and securing the knots.." we can't keep him tied up in here. Every1 will see… there inst even a cupboard when you need it!"
Kaveri –why don't we pop him the hood of his own car?
Rin hi-fived kaveri no1 would ever think of checking there…
*****
Ashoke sat down quickly coz he didn't think he could take it anymore. Sujal' hunch was right there indeed was something in the coffee…. A very simple thing infact.. Insulin…large dose of insulin, dose high enough to paralyze a non diabetic person who drank one spoon of it.
God she reached my home…. My god..Help me please… atleast save my family if you have no mercy to spare on me. They are completely innocent.
