A Mystery quest !

Defeat

"Atlast! The day has come, when the sun will set and the naughty night will begin." Scarlett said in funny yet serious voice while coming downstairs. She had a shotgun in her hand, with which she killed Johnson.

So, the scene is all set. Elisha is holding a gun which is pointing at Mathew. Steve, who is the killer is standing some distance apart from the detectives. Scarlett keeps walking and goes behind Ben. She is now aiming the gun at Ben's head.

Everyone gets stunned. "Wait, Scarlett, what on earth are you doing? Please stop for God's sake. Pleaseeeee." Liza screamed at the top of her voice. Ben tried to move but, fear of death stopped him.

"Don't show any smartness Ben Stokes. You wanna die, tell me. I will give you a peaceful death. Why do you want to die with pain?" Scarlett said while aiming the gun at Ben's head and this time, a bit tightly. Ben felt some pain. But the strong man didn't let it come on his face.

But soon the pain became more intense. So now, Ben couldn't resist himself from saying,"Ok, I won't move but stop pushing the gun against my head. It's fucking paining man!" Josephine couldn't see all this further. So the little old yet strong lady tried to catch hold of Scarlett but, her reaction was slow enough to give Steve a chance to shoot.

There was a huge noise of shooting. Josephine and the 3 detectives got startled. Steve yelled,"No smartness as I said. Now once more someone tried to show off his dumb ass skills, I swear to lucifer, I am gonna fuck ur bellies." Everyone was silent for moments.

"Ok, Steve, listen to me and answer. Why are you doing all this. What's wrong?" Nestlé asked gathering some courage. Elisha said,"Oh come on, you seem pretty talented. You shouldn't be asking this type of question." Ben raised his eyebrows.

Liza couldn't remain silent for a long time. "Steve, I knew, that it was you who killed Lewis. The day your fingerprints were found on the broken piece of mug, I understood that it is you, who is the killer. But, you played really smart. You enforced such conditions and situations on me, that forced me to not have doubt on you. Hats off to your intelligence."

Steve replied with his typical heavy voice,"I know I am smart, you don't have to remind me that again. I was in front of you right when you were abducted, still you couldn't recognise me." Nestlé got furious and was about to move when Scarlett made a noise indicating that she might shoot Ben anytym. Nestlé stood standstill.

Liza asked,"Why are you doing all this Steve? What will you get?" Liza's eyes had fear in them. Fear of losing her near ones. Steve was about to say something when, Elisha slapped Mathew tightly, leaving a mark on the latter's face.

Mathew's crying intensity increased. Ben asked,"What the hell is that? Why are you doing this to Mathew? Ok, please explain me what the hell is going on." Steve kept looking at Ben in a grumpy way but then decided to answer.

"We were just talking about this case and the solutions to escape, when Mathew heard us. This fucking bastard heard everything. He came to know that I am the killer and these 2 blondes are helping me. No sooner did I reveal all the truth, my eyes went on him hearing our conversations. So, he is now beaten up to be our hostage, just like you all are." Steve answered.

Scarlett was the next to say something,"Then, we also came to know that Liza and Josephine escaped. So, if Ben and Liza meet again then, we will be definitely caught. Fearing this cause, we decided to create this scene. We knew, Liza would come to ask us about the abduction. So, to avoid all that, we decided to do all this drama." Her speech finished giving Liza tons of anger.

"Please, Elisha, we are about to get married, Pleaseeeee." Mathew sobbed. Elisha kicked him. The man was broken into pieces internally. Steve said,"Look, Liza. Accept your defeat. The moment any of you try to show any smartness, I will shoot you all in quick succession of time. Scarlett and Elisha have guns too. So you can't do anything." Slowly, Steve's serious face depicted false laughter.

Ben asked,"Where are you taking all this? What do you want?" Steve replied with a smile,"Look, whatever I want, is just simple. Liza has to prove that Ben is the killer. After doing that, Ben will be in jail. This is all I want."

Liza frowned upon hearing this. "Why on earth would I do that?" Immediately upon hearing this, Elisha kicked Mathew towards Steve. The latter caught hold of Mathew. Elisha paced towards Josephine. Now, in no seconds, Elisha's gun was aiming towards Josephine. Liza understood what was gonna happen.

Elisha smiled and asked,"You really wanna know Liza, what will happen, if you don't listen to us?" The gun was right next to Josephine's head. Elisha loaded the gun. Nestlé screamed. Liza yelled,"Stop, I know. What are you doing?" Liza tried to move, but Scarlett was a tough bitch. She didn't allow the detective to move a single step.

Steve smiled and stated,"Look Liza. You have to follow our instructions. The moment you ignore, Ben and Josephine will reach their destiny. You and Nestlé will be killed by me, very easily. So, I don't think there is anything, that you can do."

Liza, Ben, Nestlé and Josephine. All couldn't shed any tears. Ben didn't cry physically, coz he was a tough built man. But, he was crying a river inside. All the 4 realized that they have lost everything. Nestlé cried and said,"No Steve, don't do this. I beg you. Please. For the love of Jesus." Steve just smiled.

After sad moments of crying Liza asked,"How will I prove Ben wrong? I don't have any proofs against him." Elisha replied, "Oh, you so have. John had given you those. Actually, we had asked him to give those fake results. So, make some more fake results, and prove this handsome man guilty. Then, Ben will be in jail and you will help us get all of Lewis's property. Understood?"

Liza understood everything. She accepted her defeat.
