I too want a love story - KarEena

2(23). Now What!

Karishma stopped at the side of the road, her phone ringing non-stop, firstly she ignored fearing that the light drizzle might turn into a big rain but seems like a bigger problem was at the shore.

"Santu!" Karishma whispered seeing the phone call

'Hel...' Before Karishma could speak Santosh spoke

'Karu come to the café as soon as possible, I am calling Shivi Di and Billu Ji too' Santosh spoke hurriedly, the background sounds filled with utensils moving, the refrigerator door opening

'Santu, Kya huva?' Karishma asked tensed

'I'll explain it later, but get yourself here fast' Santosh hung up not answering Karishma.

"Now What!" Karishma murmured as she drove towards the café

Haseena stood at the gate of the park looking around, she checked the various shops nearby and apartments to be sure they hadn't missed anything on the crime day, she talked to a few sellers outside the gate who complained that because of police barricade their business fell as no walkers are allowed.

Raj saluted to Haseena who frowned at him.

"Why are you drenched, there is no rain?" Haseena looked up at the sky which is a little cloudy but sunny enough to sweat

"It's raining on the other side of the city" Raj rolled his eyes, "by the way what are doing at the crime scene after one week"

"We found no evidence here and whatever we had on our hands proved to be useless, the CCTV doesn't show any suspicious activity, it's a dead-end Raj" Haseena sighed, "so, now let's investigate from the beginning once again"

Raj nodded, "What did the seller say?"

"Nothing much, but talking to them gave me an idea, we should talk to the usual walkers who used to come here every day, from the execution it is clear that it's a pre-planned attempt, so maybe anyone could have seen any suspicious activity leading up to the attack and also, it is said that no one is here to witness the crime, it could mean that either they were sent out or they were lying, ask Parth to recheck all the cameras and see who walked out of the park before the attack and especially if anyone walked out after DSP mam taken to the hospital" Haseena said walking into the park.

Raj swiftly sends the message to Parth and Aira. They separated and spread out to find any evidence or any important clue they could have missed. Haseena walked to the spot, ducking under the barricade tape, she gritted her teeth seeing the blood stains, she remembers well about Meha being trampled as the attacker wanted her to bleed before killing her. Taking a deep breath, she started looking around.

"Madam Sir"

Hearing Raj call, Haseena walked up to him

"Have you seen this?" Raj asked pointing to a half-broken wooden gate hidden from everyone's eyes behind dense plants

"No" Haseena frowned, the other side of the gate is a little baren land and if we move forward a little, it opens into a small abandoned lane, big enough for two people to walk side by side, which leads to a road on the south-east side of the park.

"It seems like the attackers used this way" Raj pointed out to the trampled grass, used by the walkers and whoever used this gate.

"Hmm... the foot traffic is low here, meaning only a few members knew about this, get the forensics here asap and collect the CCTV footage from shops on the other end" Haseena looked around on the grass for further evidence, frowned seeing something shining, she carefully picked it up from the grass using a handkerchief.
