Just a few moments later a pale and crabby manger appeared in front of us. He was bald and looked like he was in his late 40's. He was wearing a black coat to make his appearance distinct from the other workers at the shop.

"How can I help you?" He interrogated.

"We need to know if any of your pizza delivery guy has delivered a pizza to this address or anywhere around this area." I asked while displaying my mobile phone to show him the address.

"Woah,wait, wait! Where do you think you are? This is a pizza shop not an inquiry centre. Who are you guys,police?" The manager said abruptly.

" We're not police, but look this case is a bit critical and we can really use your help.Something went terribly wrong with my granny and I need to figure out the source of this adversity" I pleaded.

"Critical? What happened? Did she eat our pizza and is now sick? Don't blame my pizza for that ,young lady. Your grandmother should now that at this age her stomach might not cooperate with the meals she's intaking" The manager replied with a smirk.

"My grandmother is not sick!She's dead!and a pizza delivery guy was there at the time of this occurrence. This pizza shop is nearest to the place where this event happened, so we just want to know if there's someone who has delivered a pizza in that area this morning!" I expelled out all of my frustration with the words I spoke.

"There are so many deliveries going on and it's really hard to keep a track of each one of them. Besides,I don't think any of my pizza delivery guy could kill someone!" The manager stated.

" Unless he has a gun" Stephen said, breaking his silence.

"A gun? Now you're taking it a bit too far! We never send delivery guys with a gun! " The manager said rebelliously.

"Listen, old man. Your words have really started to get on my nerves!just tell us if there's any delivery made in this specific area and you're done! Otherwise police is going to come here for sure and you know very well how good that'd be for the reputation of your stupid hotel" Stephen said in a voice filled with annoyance.

" We don't share all this information with.." the manager started.

"So you'll answer only to the police? Fine then" Stephen said, cutting him short.

"I-I-think I can help you guys." The Co worker of that pizza shop whispered from behind the manager.

"What are you saying?" The manager said, giving an angry glare to the guy.

"Actually,I have something to tell you as well,Sir" The guy replied in a low tone.

"What is it?" The manager asked with a perplexed look on his face.

"A vehicle of our shop was stolen this morning." he uttered in a low voice,again.

"What?! And you are telling me now?" The manager growled at him while giving him a furious glare.

"I-I-was actually about to inform you about this,but .. ..." He tried to make a statement in order to defend himself, but the manager turned towards us without paying any attention to the excuses he was making up.

"I think we both are going to need the police." the manager declared with a grave look on his face this time.
