Finding Way...

CHAPTER 2

It was a dark night, wind was blowing rapidly but still there was a scenic beauty in the nature, the moon and stars were shinning like never before. On a plane landscape a young man was standing with a camera in his hand and the camera was angled towards the sky. Seems like he was taking a photograph of the late night scenic beauty.

Not very far, a motel was situated right on the side of the road, it was a bar. It was pretty late but still the bar was functioning. Not very people were there in the bar as the area surrounding the bar was a bit shady and it was known as a crime prone area. There was a small shop just around the corner of the motel. The shop was old and it sold some antique pieces, the shop owner was a man in his mid fifties. In the bar on a table two men were sitting and chatting,

Man 1 -" Listen, it seems that today the shop is opened for a long time, 10 mins more we wait or else...wi...will have to try tomorrow again."

Man 2- "We have already wasted too much time on this, boss won't be happy if this man doesn't die today, we wait and finish this today itself"

Man 1 - "Will get caught, the police petrol might start as this area is already prone to many criminal activities, we can't get afford to get caught or this mission and our cover both will be blown.."

Man 2 -"Alright Alright, 5 more mins, then we come back tomorrow and finish this up"

After 5 mins, as the two men stood to leave the motel, the lights of the shop started to go off.

Man 1 - "Seems like it's our lucky day, we finish this today, You ready?"

Man 2 - "Born ready, lets do this"

With this the two men started slowly slowly approaching the shop, by the time the two of them reached the side of the shop, the owner had closed the shop wand was stepping just outside. The two men checked the premises to cross check that no one saw anything. Once they were confirmed that no one was there in their surroundings, they both slowly entered the shop. The owner tumbled few steps back...,

Owner - "Who the hell are you both?"

Man 1 - "Easy oldie, don't wanna die was a painful death, riiigghtttt?"

Owner - "What the hell are you speaking?"

The old man continued barking like a mad man but the two men just pulled the sheet of the antique which was near by and dusted it a few times before they both threw that on the man's face. The man was having asthma and the sheet was full of small dust particles, the old man started coughing badly and tried to grab his inhaler, but the two men stopped him and after few minutes of violent coughing the old man died.

The two men checked his pulse quickly, no response, they disheveled the place to make it look like the old man was just wrapping the antiques in which he died a tragic death. The two men looked around to check if there was anyone and once they confirmed that no one was there in the vicinity they both slipped out quietly as if nothing had happen.

But in the far, the man who was standing with the camera had witnessed it all...
