Our Special Journey

14. Who is the stalker?

Someone tried to enter my apartment when I was in the shower. Jane found the door was open when she was in front of my apartment. We were scared and tried to find some clues. Also, I called him to discuss this case. He was shocked by the incident and told me that he would inform his team. (Summery of the previous chapter)

Time passed so fast, and we didn't notice it at all. Suddenly, my phone rang, and we were close to panic! Both of us said concurrently: 'Oh God!"

I said: 'Sorry. Let me see who's calling.'

She answered gently: "Ok."

'It's him. Should I answer?'

"Yes. Maybe he's found something."

'Ok.'

I tried to be calm as much as possible and answered the phone.

'Hello!'

"Hello! Are you free?"

'Yes.'

"Just wanted to tell you that my team investigated the case. You were right. Someone has followed me to your apartment. We haven't uncovered the person's identity. But we'll find it out soon."

'What should we do now? Should I call the police?'

"No. Please let me find out who this person is... Sorry, I've got to go. Will call you back in thirty minutes."

'Ok. Thank you.'

Jane was curious to know what was going on. She asked:

"What did he say?"

'He said he'd been followed by a stalker to my apartment. Scary...'

"God! Why did you tell him to come here?"

'Because I wanted to work on the project and didn't want to waste time at all.'

"Now, what should we do?"

'He said he'd call me back in thirty minutes.'

"How didn't his bodyguards notice the stalker? It's strange."

'Yes, you're right. It's strange. However, I have an idea about this stalker. But I wait until he calls.'

"You think this stalker is a person close to him? And he is trying to close this case in a nice way?"

'You always read my mind. How do you do it so perfectly?'

"Do I really have to explain it?"

I blushed and answered:

'No, you don't.'

She came closer and took my hands.

"I'm here. Don't be frightened."

'Thank you.'

I pulled her in my arms and hugged her. She hugged me back tightly. I whispered in her ear:

'As long as we are best friends, we won't be frightened or scared of anything or anyone.'

"So true."

Then, she looked at me innocently.
My phone rang again. We both sat on a couch, and she looked at me nervously. I picked up the phone to answer it. It was him.

"Hello!"

'Hello!'

"Is it ok to talk?"

'Yes.'

"We gathered all the required data. The result shows that the stalker is my former wife! I'm so sorry for such incident. Perhaps she wanted to get information about you. I haven't called her, yet. Don't worry about her. I'll make it right by talk things over. If you noticed any suspicious signal, please inform me right away."
