A terrible outbreak of a newly created catastrophic virus which is capable of making the heart impotent to carry out its function in a normal manner and engulfing the haemoglobin from the blood Cells.
Will Stephen be able to bring this reign of ter...
Giving a vacant glance to each other, me and Stephen moved closer to the child in order to figure out what he was trying to tell us.
I bent down on my knees and placed my hands on his shoulders and asked
"What is it that you want to tell us ?"
His innocent eyes had a tincture of agitation in them. "I saw a man hiding in the bushes this morning, he had a gun." He uttered and pointed in the direction of my grandmother's garden.
I stole a glance at the garden and asked another question while looking back at the kid
"Did you know who that man was?"
"He was the pizza delivery man" The child replied.
I frowned at him and was thinking that he's playing some sort of trick or might be cracking some joke.
"Hey,Kid! It's not humorous to waste people's time in order to crack a joke. Didn't your parents teach you elementary manners?" Stephen rebuked.
A look of disquiet suddenly appeared on the child's face.
"Whatever you are saying, is it true? " I demanded.
"Yes,it's true there was a pizza delivery man hiding in the bushes with a gun,this morning!" He exclaimed and just after replying, he started running away from us as fast as he can.
"Hey,Wait!" I tried to stop him, but it didn't work.
"You scared the kid." I said, with a look of chagrin.
"Do you really believe in that shit?! That kid was playing some trick. A pizza delivery man with a gun? To kill your grandmother? Why?Is that what they do when you shoo off the pizza delivery guy after taking the pizza, without paying them? Kill you?!" Stephen replied in a frustrated voice.
"You don't understand a single thing, do you? I am trying to figure out what exactly happened to my grandmother and for you it's just a mere joke?!" I replied in a furious tone.
"Hey,look, I don't mean to hurt you, but don't you think that sounds a bit odd? And even if he did use that gun, then why was there no trace of a gunshot wound on her body?" He tried to convince me.
I was just looking in another direction.
" You know what,Acira. I'm feeling like I'm out of my mind at the moment. The brain,it uses nearly 20% of the total energy of the body and that energy comes from the food you eat. In order to make my brain function efficiently, I need food.Maybe after that I'll get some good ideas." He completed.
After thinking for a moment I replied "Where is the nearest pizza shop?"
"Um,I believe... it's not too far from here..." He mumbled.
"Let's go there." I said and rushed towards the car.
"Okay" Stephen said and just followed me from behind.

Boris tried calling different hospitals of the town to figure out if any other cases of the virus were reported, but he realized that the virus was unfamiliar. No other cases were reported of people getting infected by this virus yet. ~~~~~~ After parking the car near the pizza shop,Stephen and Acira came out and followed the path that lead them into the shop.
As soon as they stepped inside the shop,the aroma of inviting pizza filled their lungs.
The smell of delicious meals initiated an involuntary grumble in Stephen's stomach.
" Ow,seems like it's time to devour some tasty snacks" Stephen said while placing his hands over his stomach.
"You hungry beast" I said and smiled lightly.
"You look really nice when you smile" Stephen returned back a smile.
I couldn't help,but smile again.

"Okay,let's keep advancing." I said and we approached a vacant table.
After finishing the meal, Stephen and Acira decided to talk to the manager about the "pizza guy"
"Hey,we need to speak to your manager,can you please call him?" Stephen asked to a working staff at the shop.
"Um,just a minute." He replied and went off to summon the manager.
