at me. Slowly I came back to my senses. I was lying on a hospital bed. I knew that somehow Regina might contact with Sunaina and she found me. Sunaina asked me softly but little dominated way to take rest.  I closed my eyes.

  I was feeling much better. Tamble sir came along with Ravi. I asked Ravi, how was his family get together ? Ravi did not answer to my question and stood behind Tamble sir silently. I know that Ravi cares for me and this was shock for him to see me this way. Tamble Sir asked me to tell everything in details. I told Tamble Sir everything in details. The man who did this was still at large and I told sir that I would happy to help. I saw Ravi looked at me with an angry look. Sunaina came just then. Tamble sir told me that I should take rest now and I must thank Sunaina. Then sir told me that when Sunaina couldn’t reach my phone, she called Tamble sir. Sir also had no Idea about me but he told her that he gave me the escort service id where Ramona might be working though police were still searching her. Sunaina then came to my house and saw Ravi was back. Ravi was angry as someone misplaced lots of kitchen items. Sunaina then opened my laptop and checked my browser history. Found that I already located and booked Ramona who now changed her name as Jessica. She waited for me to call back but when there was no call back from me. She went to Orchid hotel and asked the manager. He told me that I was there at evening but had no further info about me. Then she called Tamble sir to trace my mobile tower as she had a bad feeling about me. Cyber department found my cell last active near Orchid Hotel but couldn’t tress further. She called Tamble sir and they both started to search. But found nothing. Then Sunaina asked Tamble sir to search all nearby buildings under construction. She knew that if I was attacked by that Invisible murderer that it’s the way he murder his victims. But it would take time to get search permission for all nearby under construction buildings. So Tamble sir called Mr Arvind for help and he helped immediately using his reach. Then after searching two buildings, finally on the third building i was found senseless.  They found another body but they could not save Ramona. I felt proud for Sunaina and this is second time she saved my life with her brilliance and presence of mind. Then suddenly I remembered that Regina was there too and I called her from Sunaina’s phone. It was unreachable. Tamble sir immediately sends two police men to her hotel. I felt a something cold was floating inside my spine. If anything has happened with Regina, I can never forgive myself. After an hour or two those police men came and they couldn’t find Regina there. I couldn’t waste more time and started to dress up. Ravi was there. He came and helped me silently. Tamble sir entered in to my hospital room and surprised to see me that way. He wanted to assure me that nothing happened with her and he advised me to take rest. I looked at Sir and told him politely – I can’t rest here sir. I will find him and hunt him till I find him even in his afterlife.

  Size 10

  Sunaina drove me to Hotel Orchid. I entered to room no 202. It was like new. Everything was decorated. I wanted to recreate the mess so I tried to mess the master bedroom as it was when I was attacked. I put talcum powder on the floor and then sat on the floor, was trying to remember every detail. Sunaina called Tamble sir and asked him to check hotel security footage. Tamble Sir informed her that Mr Arvind was already going through all details and footage. I was sitting there for nearly 30 minutes and It was his worlds which he whispered into my ears, was keep coming back again and again. He changed his voice forcefully when he whispered. But why? If I know him already? Sunaina found presence of bleach all over. The whole room was washed to destroy any fingerprint or blood spot. In the meantime Tamble Sir came. He told me that the security footage couldn’t help much. Nothing suspicious was there. He told me that Mr Arvind would be in charge of this case now. I was about to leave suddenly saw Tamble Sir’s shoe print on the talcum powder. It was a match.

  I jumped and hugged Tamble sir. Sunaina and Sir both looked at me curiously. I told them that when I came to find Ramona 2nd time, the room was messy and there was a size 10 shoe print. The print was exact same type of shoe print of Tamble Sir’s uniform shoe. But sir was Size 7 and the murderer’s shoe size was NO 10. What if our murderer was from Police?  Tamble sir firstly objected the idea but then it was also fact that every time the murderer was ahead of police since they found shadow dealers. What if the drug organization had an informer in police? Well Tamble Sir told us that if we put allegation on Police department then that must be with proper proof. Tamble sir assured us to have a look on our new perspective till then we both should take rest and search of Regina was on.

  Sunaina came back to my home with me. In the meantime Vicky called him but she cut the phone instead of receiving with a bit of irritation in her face. I picked two papers and gave one to Sunaina.

  Let’s make a note on what we knew till now and who were related.

  We both finished the list and we looked at each other. Sunaina already started to move head sideways as she couldn’t believe the name just appeared on her suspect list as the common person in all incidents and I had the same person. It’s Mr Arvind D’Souza. I remembered Regina’s description of the person who according to her might followed me when I visited Hotel orchid on the second time, she told me that someone tall well build followed me. Arvind also matched with her description.

  I called Mr Basu, he worked under Tamble sir and very informative person. I asked him about Mr Arvind’s home address. He told me that Arvind had two homes, one in Goa and another here in Malad. I noted down the address and we drove there. There was no one at home that time. I was practicing to break a lock for few days from YouTube. That came handy and we broke into his home. I asked Sunaina that no to come but she insisted to come along. I have started to search every corner, found his shoes , Size number 10. Sunaina called my name, when I followed her voice; I saw she was coming out from a hidden door which was inside a closet. I saw her face. It was scared, pale. I asked her what happened. I wanted to go inside the closet to see what was there. But Sunaina hugged me tight. She tried to stop me to go there. I went inside. I finally found her. Regina. She was still beautiful, innocent. I touched her face. I could not control. I shouted loud. I hugged her lifeless body. She was crudely strangled to death. I kept shouting till Sunaina came and hugged me. I asked her to call police. There was no mobile network inside the house so Sunaina went outside to call. I came out to the bedroom. I felt terrible. I fell into my knees. It was my fault. I killed her. I saw Regina’s bracelet there which he took as souvenir. I heard the door opened. I told Sunaina with a soft voice – It was me, I killed her Sunaina.

  “YES YOU KILLED HER AND NOW YOU WILL KILL HER TOO”

  I looked back. Arvind was grabbing Sunaina’s hair and put a gun on her head. I slowly walk towards dining room where he was holding Sunaina. I looked at Sunaina. She was scared but composed and silent. I told her not to scare. I won’t let anything bad ever happened with her. I looked at Arvind. Told Sunaina – “He can’t shoot you from his service revolver”

  Arvind – Yes you are right. Oh you are fucking clever Mr Director. I can’t shoot her. I don’t need to. I will bury her alive, but oh h oho. Not you ass hole. You will die today.

  Arvind hit hard on the back of Sunaina’s head and she fell on the floor senselessly. I moved as faster as possible to hit him but he ducked my punch and kicked me. He was a giant and a well-trained police. Before I did anything he punched me twice and smashed me on the glass table. I could not move. I was bleeding from all over my body. He came close slowly. Dragged a chair & sat on it in front of me.

  Arvind – Tell me Mr Indra. How did you find about me.

  I was bleeding from all over and my left leg was feeling numb as a big glass piece was stuck inside my left leg. I couldn’t even move. I looked at him, wiped the blood from my nose, smiled and pointed at his shoes. He followed my direction and looked at his leg. He started to laugh loud.

  “HOLY SHIT – Are you serious? My legs? “ – Arvind

  I replied –  Not your leg, you Idiot. It was your shoe. Police unifo
rm shoe – SIZE 10. It was also on the floor of 202.

  Arvind lighted up a cigarette and offered me. “ Come on Mr Detective, smoke with me, I know Smoking kills but who cares because you are dead already” .

  I took a cigarette. Then he threw the lighter.

  Arvind – Only Shoe ? What’s more?

  I replied showing the cigarette. You smoked Camel brand Blue label cigarette, Which is costly and rare when you came close to whisper into my ear, I had that smell.

  Arvind – “OH MY GOD – You, Mr Director. You are fucking intelligent. I heard that you had quite a good carrier. You won awards too. Then why suddenly you have started to poke your nose into these things. Last time when you luckily get away from death because of this bitch [ looked at Sunaina], you should thank god and move on to your film direction but no you are a stubborn ass hole, you again poked me. Now I will kill you with my own hands like I killed you girlfriend Regina. Poor girl, she couldn’t even put a fight for much long. But yes thanks to you, I found the last piece of the puzzle Ramona. Well now  “GET READY TO DIE “

  Arvind had a rope inside his pocket; he might use this
