Many days pass by and the news of mob boss Mr. Cliff's death is on the television screen. I am called in the embassy's main office. The head already shouting at William's head and as soon as I enter he completely ignores me whereas the head gestures me to take a seat and now he starts barking on both of us," Do you know that this case is of very high level that is why we appointed our best officers and you both even knew that the murder of Cliff was also at 12. You both knew the only connection between all these consequents death is that all the victims were killed at 12. Now you both will not be working together. This case is being taken back from you. If you have any clues deposit it" William cuts him short," No I don't. At least." Even before the head turns to face me I speak," Neither do I"

William walks out of the cabin. I chase him and spot him in the direction of the elevator. I clumsily keep following him till we are in the lift. The door closes. Amidst mid air the electricity cuts off. I notice there is no camera or voice recorder in the lift and I just start overflowing with my emotions ," I am sorry William. I never knew it was that important. The note which you gave me was different from the one which I had. I found it on the first day of investigation. The first note was in my cupboard when we left for France. Trust me please William. I am sorry." I trail off as my tears takes place of my words. He does not even turn around to look at me but when I try to speak my next set of line something unexpected happens.
