John Foster and Steins Trost , the world renowned detectives are in Japan following a series of unexplainedble murders , dream hallucinations , escapist self harm and some weird sounds ringing throughout the night .
At first they weren't much into...
John Foster was a fine man....who had been through 50 years on this planet . His handlebar moustache and his white flowing... often meshy hair seem to speak volumes about him . He had a roman nose , square chin and hawk like green eyes . Nobody had been able to maintain so much as a minute of eye contact with him...for suddenly his eyes seem terrific and the the other person is forced to close his eyes .
His eyes were intently fixed on the New York Times with the headlines going as.....
"Goetz Is Given One-Year Term On Gun Charge"
"Executive Sentenced To 13 Years in Jail In $5 Million Fraud"
"Student Had Gun, Police Say"
"Rushdie Novel Brings Bomb Threats"
"7 Die at French Ski Resort"
"Burning Memories, Mississippi 1964"
"Anonymous murders on the rise around the globe"
"Rise of drug overdose related deaths around the globe"
"Rise of people harming self during sleep on the rise around the world"
"Black market hotspots continue to be exposed around the world only to find a heap of corpses"
The headlines sent his mind into a frenzy as this consciousness spiralled around these events as overlapping voices seemed to be repeating the last 4 lined over and over again to him . At last he went into a trance and came to when he heard a loud bang at the door .He cried out ,"Shit!!These youngsters of today"...cause he knew it was non other than Steins .
Steins was a man in his 30s ....probably 36 in age . He was strangely introverted for someone who had been a doctor at a point in his life and currently a detective at New York Police department . Not to mention, he was a really handsome specimen.
He had a brilliant complexion , blonde curly fringe hair, slightly turned up nose , a sharp receding chin , distinct facial features along with a sharp jawline and beautiful blue eyes.
They had been friends for quite a while now . Foster's wife had died 3 years ago of a heart attack and Trost had yet to get married .
They had solved many cases together . But the last 4 headlines caught both Foster's and Trost's attention . Because the same 4 headlines had appeared 4 years ago but with "in Japan" instead of "around the globe" .
John sighed " If only we had taken it more seriously then ......"
Steins burst out laughing and exclaimed " Procastination now has become your habit, old man....curse you man...."
With this both of their eyes reflected the same desire"What are we waiting for when Japan is waiting for us!!" With this they contacted their detective friend in Japan , Arashi Nakamura .
At this point they received a call from New York Police department to take on this case . At this Steins exclaimed " Arrangements already done ...sir!!!"
They packed their luggage and began walking upto taxi stand which was a little ahead from John's house . While they were walking they crossed paths with a hooded man. Suddenly Steins heard a ringing sound and everything around him started getting dark ; he tried to scream but couldn't ; John seemed to be unaffected and unfazed .
The next moment John tapped his shoulder for Steins wasn't looking alright and exclaimed , "You alright??"........Suddenly the darkness and ringing sound faded away . John asked " What happened boy...are you sick or what??"
Steins exclaimed " Didn't you see that hooded man just now?"
John had a hearty laugh and said "Shit man ;You need rest I think ...are you out of your mind ?huh?... there wasn't any hooded man ....it was just a old man probably in his eighties . "
Steins looked back to indeed see a old man stooping over his stick walking down the lane . Steins contemplated , "Where did that hooded man go?I could swear that I had seen him...I guess I must be seeing things...Anyway no time to be fooling around"
With this they hopped into John's car and reached the John F Kennedy airport and waited for their plane "Japan airlines Airbus A350-900" . But neither were aware of the events that were going to unfold .

Keep guessing ( here I will put some fun questions or random stuff related or unrelated to the story/chapter....do reply in the comments if you want😁) 1- A silly one....won't John Foster's and Steins Trost's names get more interesting if we exchange a F and a T😅?? 2-What are your hobbies guys?? In my case tbh it's honestly all about stories and poems. 3-Did Steins really see a hooded man or was that a merely figment of his imagination?
