Affleck was now unable to beleive what he heard and what he saw. Being extremely nervous, he asked the same question again,"Do you know what happened to me?"
The girl again stared at him. As usual, she was looking here and there.She said," You are here because you are a cloth on someone's sin. They are keeping you here because as long as you are here with a memory loss, someone's secret is hidden. They will never let you recover your memory otherwise they will be in trouble once you remembered what happened to you. That's why they are keeping you here."
Affleck was shocked at this statement. It means that someone was using him because he knew something about him. Maybe, the person may have killed someone and Affleck was the eye witness or maybe something like that. Affleck was not sure about this.
At last,he asked," So you are also here for the same reason?"
"Maybe, because I can't remember a day before yesterday's events. They are making me also to forget my memories."
Affleck asked,"Do you know what happened to my wife?"
She said," What is the last thing you remember about her?"
Affleck, filled with all the world's sorrow and tears, said,"I remember her dying in my hands."
She said,"Then, she is really dead."
Affleck, now filled with all the universe's sorrow and tears, said," What would have happened to her? Who would have killed her?"
She said," Maybe someone who is getting benefits from this drama."
Affleck said," But we were a happy and freindly couple. We never quarreled even with our neighbours in the past 10 years. Who would be benefitting from this?"
She replied," I don't know. But be concious about what you see and with whom you talk."
Now, the bell rang and the lunch time was over. The girl continued," And by the way, my name is Laura."
Affleck was now taken to his room. He laid on his bed feeling uncomfortable as always. He tried to remember what would have happened to him. Then, he saw that there were some scratches on the floor. Maybe the person who lived in that room had made then with his or her nails. He bent down on the floor to look at the scracthes. When he bent, he saw that there were more scratches under the bed. He laid down under the bed to see them. Suddenly, his eyes widened, his breath became deep and his heart beat fastened.. He recalled one more event-
He remembered that when he was holding Chistine in his hands, her head was bleeding badly. He also saw a gun which was placed a few feet away. He realised that someone shot her in head. The memories after that were blur. He was not able to recall what happened. But in the last, he saw a man standing near him, while he was lying on the ground. He tried to recall the face of the man. Suddenly, he woke up in shock.
The man who was standing near him was JOHN...
