Criminals and Agents

CHAPTER NO. 27 (Dylan)

I was on my way to Luna's  house when Anna called me and I received the call and said, "Hello!"

She was breathing so hard.

She said, "Dylan! Where are you?"

"I am almost there. Why? What happened? Why are you breathing so hard? Anna?"

"Dylan! Come quickly. Somone killed Luna."

And then there was a sound as if Anna's phone fell to the floor.

I said, "Anna! Are you Okay? Anna!"

But she was screaming.

I hung up and drove my car speedily.

I reached Luna's house right away. I quickly came out of the car and ran in the house. I saw drops of blood and I could hear Anna screaming. I ran to a room from where I could hear her screams. I saw someone in there with a knife in it's hand and it was trying to cut Anna's throat and she was holding that person's hand so that the knife couldn't hit her. I hurried to that person and pushed him aside. He fell down and it's knife fell to the other side. We both starred at eachother for a while then suddenly he pulled out a pistol from it's pocket and fired it on my knee and I fell to the floor.

My knee began to bleed profusely. And then that person ran away.

I sat there for a while and I saw Anna crying.

I went to her and sat down. I said, "Anna! Are you alright? Did that person hit you?"

But she didn't replied. I put my hands on her shoulder and said, "Anna."

But she still didn't replied and cried on.

I pulled her close to me and hugged her. For a minute I thought she stopped breathing but she started crying again.

She cried and cried and we sat there like that for a while.

She stopped crying and stood up from the floor.

The police was here to investigate. The police asked us a few questions. They told us that they will do a postmortem of the body and will let us know who killed her.

And after that the police said to us that we can leave now.

I grabbed Anna's arm and took her outside.

I turned around and looked at her and said, "Will you go to your house with me?"

"Of course I will. I don't want to drive my own car because my eyes are hurting so much. I will just tell one of the servants to take it back to my house."

"Okay. As you wish."

We both sat in the car and went away. On the way, I asked Anna, "Do you know who that person was?"

She replied, "No because it was hiding it's face."

I said, "Okay."

"I want to tell you something."

"What?"

"Someone came to my room the night after the day we had an accident. He said to me that if you ever searched for our information, we are not going to leave you and your friends. Sophia told me the same thing."

"You should have told me this before and you should not have let Luna go anywhere alone. Come to the park near my house at four o'clock in the evening tomorrow. I need to talk to you and it's important."

She said, "Okay."

I dropped Anna at her house and went to my hotel to sleep.

The next day I got ready and went to the park next to my house and waited for Anna.

After a while I saw Anna coming. She came and sat with me. Then she said, "I don't want to go to school anynore. It's feels so lonely." Then tears filled her eyes.

I said, "Please don't cry now."

She wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Why have you called me here?"

I said, "This case is no joke now. We have to take this serious. All the other things in the city distracts us a lot. And from now on no more outings. We need to focus on the case more than having fun."

"Yeah!"

"Why did Sophia threatened you that day? You are cousins. Didn't she liked you or something?"

Anna replied, "She did liked me but she liked Luna more because Luna was so intelligent and she was so beautiful. Yesterday both of them celebrated Luna's Birthday. She gave her a gift and took her out on the restaurant. While on my birthday she didn't even said Happy Birthday. Sophia always used to tell  everything to Luna and to me she kept everything as a secret. There are so many more things in which she did that. Sophia hated me from the start."

I said, "But still. You are cousins after all."

She said, "It's all my fault." And tears started to fall from her eyes.

I said, "No! It's not your fault."

"If I had told Luna not to go alone, nothing like that would have happened." And then she put both her hands on her face and started crying.

I put my hands on her shoulder and said, "Anna, It's not your fault. Everyone has to die. No one lives forever."

She removed her hands from her face and looked at me with wet eyes. I grabbed her hands and said, "We have to solve this mission. We have to find some details."

She said, "I know."

"We have to do this no matter how much it hurts. We can't give up."
