When I was serving jail time, a man came to meet me.

Man : I'm Jacob Bertram. I think you'd recognise me from my last name. Since you're a decoy for us anyway, I'll tell you the full story.

Jacob : Don't worry, I'll pay you hefty for this. Kausar Bertram is my son. I'm the CEO of an oil company called 'Sand Oil', which runs in Saudi Arabia.

Jacob : That's where I found Kausar's mother too. He's always been interested in automobiles and innovations. I had planned to open an automotive company for him and supply fuel sources from my company.

Jacob : Until ... he presented me with a blueprint of a hydrogen powered car model and actually made one as well. If that came to the market, the demand would ruin the business of the oil industry.

Jacob : My imperialism, luxury, recognition would shatter. He left me after he turned 18. I thought there was no more threat to my business. But he managed to make a hydrogen car out of limited resources.

Jacob : I had to end him to show the consequences of disobeying people with power.

Me : How dare you! All you care about is just the empire you build and not the earth that you live in? You don't care about your own child?

Jacob : Well, there's nothing you could do. After the jail time I'll pay you and we mind our business. If you report it, there's nothing gonna happen too.

Jacob : You have no proof and I have money. Oh, you'd probably want to know how I killed him. I have no time, so, just find it from the blueprint.

Author's note : A true father would never do it! What do you do for your father to show your gratitude?
