The incandescent light filled the tense room where everyone was fighting with their insight to get a lucid answer.

"How did that happen? " , muttered a deep voice out of choler.

"Apparently from a guy at class whom she got close with." , replied another voice with great ire.

"Close enough to give away the secret?"

"Seemingly yes, sire"

Seeing that great belligerence in the eyes of her own father she shook with fear. "I.. d-didn't mean to father."

He leashed out at her in pugnacity, "What do you mean by you didn't mean to? You did! The thing you were to conceal in the cost of death , you revealed it to a stupid fling of yours ? Weren't you to keep to yourself and not interact much? Where have the rules gone? Do you even know what your little act of imbecility has caused us? We were on the verge of being divulged for Pete's sake!"

"I-I", she tried to say something but nothing came out of the mouth of the flimsy girl immersed in sheer terror and pain.

"Say no more. You're meaningless excuses will not at all help it."

"Sire." , barged in a new voice - a voice which was one of the most dreaded voices by her.

"What's the news Nad ?"

"We got the people behind it and they have been settled for now. Furthermore, I want you to decide whether we negotiate or....." he trailed off with a darkness in his voice.

"Good, you will be rewarded.", he turned towards all the people there and said , "I want you all to give me a coherent idea in what to do about her. She can't stay here anymore."

"Move away", the guy who had just entered replied blatantly.

"Scotland to LA, LA to Tennessee, Tennessee to New Jersey now where?", the other reply was also blatant.

"No , not all of us, sire. Only her, we'll send her off somewhere neither too crowded nor too isolated. Um..

Isle of Wight ? I will myself make weekly rounds to check on her and make sure she again doesn't lose her sanity for any guy that way." he said menacingly.

"Lucid", he replied, "Any ameliorate for the idea?" he spoke out loud to everyone. But none of the guys immersed in ira and fright could utter a reply.

"So Isle of Wight it is. And you,this time be very heedful or else you're going to be underground. Just studies in school, no fling business and as you know love is inconceivable. Am I clear on my terms?"

"Yes father." replied she in a agonistic tone.
