Ezekiel turned around to look out of the window only to find the man's body on the floor and  an oxygen cylinder in Mayur's hand!

a proof that she had whacked it over his head and rendered him unconscious somehow and looked at her with wide eyes!

she did that ?

That little caterpillar did that ?

isn't she full of surprises these days ?

his jaw dropped open

where was she all this time he didn't see her coming at all,

isn’t she very good at hiding, eh!

Just when he was about to ask her that... ''And why would you do that Mayur, we needed him conscious, I wanted to interrogate him about the other people he is working with,  Damn you'' Yohan came out of another giant pillar shouting.

Ezekiel narrowed his eyes in anger hearing the tone of a person's voice toward his wife, not that any of them noticed his expression

"He had a knife" Mayur calmly answered

"you rendered him unc_

"He.held.a.knife" again, she emphasis on every word looking directly at that new person

''can anyone tell me, what exactly the hell is going on here !''
Ezekiel asked in gruff voice, looking back and forth at their conversation, watching them having conversation like they knew each other for so long somewhat made him angry for an unknown reason.."and who are you ?" He asked looking at Yohan

"I'm Yohan Qureshi um, FBI!
he was on our wanted list, we have been following him for few days, his last location was all the way down here, so soon as we found out, we covered all the exits, clearly he was looking for some leverage when he attacked you, he obviously couldn’t get out of here on his own" Yohan answered.

Though, that was not the whole truth, it was not lie either but he didn’t need to know that

''We ?'' Ezekiel asked furrowing eyebrows, looking at both the man Yohan and his own wife

"my whole team is waiting outside, Damn! I've to check if he's dead or alive" Yohan squatted to check on him

while Mayure finally realized that maybe he was suspecting her, she was looking anywhere but Ezekiel's eyes. She could feel his eyes burning holes in her.

what would i say, how would i explain this to him.......

''And what are you doing here, at this time'' He asked looking directly at her as if challenging her

Dare you tell a lie

"umm, I came here to -- see you! i was feeling bored at home so i took a long walk and came all the way here" that's the only excuse came in her mind even if it somehow made her feel like a lovesick puppy

He raised on eyebrow and looked around.. ''so you thought meeting me in the parking lot was the most sensible idea, specially when I'm already on my way home!''

"well __ahem when you put it like that__maybe not sensible enough" She scratched the back of her head frowning

damn it, why do i always have to be nervous around him!

"__'s alive! a mild concussion, he'll live, we'll interrogate him when he regains consciousness, my guys are waiting outside, we'll be leaving then" Yohan muttered before shouting orders to his men, Mayur and Ezekiel stopped talking long before

some men in black uniform came to  carry him away while the other two just stood there awkwardly, until Mayur broke the silence

"you wanna.....um go out for dinner ?" She asked smiling at him

It was a sweet smile not seductive, no ulterior motive he used to see in women, just a sweet one that demanded his attention but he just clenched his jaw and gave her a blank look as if trying to make her reveal any secret but found nothing and let out defeated sigh

''No,_i'm tired'' He said and to open the front door of his car

"A long drive then ?" She suggested again in hopeful voice behind

''which part of "i'm tired" do you not understand Ms.Parrish ? Just get in the car or I'm leaving you right here'' He said cocking his head challengingly and her smile vanished, making him feel guilty instantly.

rude!

"ok,..fine!" She grumbled while pouting

Oh! How he wanted to kiss that pout away!

Shut up! Zeke!

He mentally scolded himself!
