PART 9
Part 1: LUKE AND MARK
Mark’s point of view
“Luke texted me see him in the hotel. I have to go now”
Smith gave me a weird expression which is acceptable he hates him too.
He is weird and he is the best friend of my wife. I have so many reasons to hate him. I reached the fancy hotel he stays and seeing the receptionist taking in the phone. She put the phone down when she sees me.
“what can I do for you sir,”I said the room number and waiting for the call.
After hung up the phone, she said “you can meet him in 957, he’ll guide you”.
Her hand points out a room servant, who is dressed black and waits to hold the table, smiling at me. We took the elevator, I followed him as He told.
“Why did you call me here?” I asked when the room door opened, my eyes finding luke sitting on the couch.
“This is the pdf of some documents you’ll need in the future”
“what the hell” why he is doing this to me again.
“I said you’ll need this in the future” this time he meant it.Mark took the pen drive from Luke, inserted and opened the document which required a password in the laptop on the table.
Luke took the chance to walk away,
“What is the password,” Mark asked, Luke already reaching the bathroom,
“I said you’ll need; doesn’t mean you can see it now” his hand is on the doorknob to open.
“I’ll send it later! Now get lost"His only job is pissing me off right!
This document is trash.
I kept the pen drive in my bag. Then I locked the door and picked a taxi.
At home“hey anything important?”, said with a worried face, sitting in front of the table. Smith..
“Nah” I dropped the bag on the shelf, took off the coat, and hung it.
“he is just playing with me Smith” I left exhausted groan.
“I traced last contacts of JV’s phone” then we back to the main lead of the case. JV 'S contact is so important to this case.

Part 2: THE TIME UP:
Smith hacked the club’s system, we got to know all the member's names. it reads Luke parker. Mark has to figure out so many things.
Weirdly, Mary said his name is Luke Anderson. Same person but different name. what’s the reason behind it.
To clear his mind he went to a café, Mark is waiting for his cup of coffee, there comes Luke parker. Mark has to get any clues from him. So he began to stir.
“Mr. Parker!”
“oops sorry you are Luke right” Mark said, he thought he has to draw some truth from his mouth.
“I got confused”
“so, you know me”, Luke got a normal face, this doesn’t surprise him.
“you went to the same high school with Mary in Moshi”
“Is that bothering your Mark?”
“no, I wonder why your last name changed afterward”.Mark has a hypothetical theory that Luke looks worse than the day before yesterday, so he added 2 plus 2 and ended up that Luke has some illness.
“ask my best friend”
“you mean Mary”
“yes, your wife, Mark”
“I know why are you doing this after all these years”, he paused.
Luke frowned and his eyes looking down at his phone.
“you are dying right” the Mark finished. Luke fakes a laugh. Luke stands up putting the cup at the corner of the table.
“Sorry Mark, I have a meeting I must be going to now. By the way, now I got why no one hires you …” he leans close to Mark whispers in his ears,
“you are dumb”he vanishes quickly towards the exit. Mark got pissed at him. Opposite Mark, a guy slowly removes the newspaper covering the face walks towards the table where a Mark is.
Mark wears a neutral expression while his brain screaming that he is Jake's wrestler the owner of half an island.
“Hey Mark, can you give me a few minutes” Why not,
“how did you find me here?”
“I got my ways Mark; can I sit here?”
“Yes sir, if it's personal we can talk this”
“my personal is nothing to do with you, I came here for a business purpose”
“I have a…. work for you as PI” Jake wrestler said and passing a card towards Mark.
Mark scanned the card then put it in his coat pocket.“ Okay, sir I accept your work” both stood up, Jake left the bag for Mark. He opened the bag shocked about the cash and few documents.
he wants me to figure out the JV’s murder, which means he is linked to the killer.
