PART - II

Until April fell down on the floor, I had no idea where I was. I had lost it. There were arguments and fights and discussions regarding the missing and I was just numb throughout! I didn't know what to do! When we just thought that we got our T back, he's gone, this time, forever maybe! All this just wasn't digestible by me. Realized, I am with humans here when April fainted. 'They feel too! You're not the only one Jake!' I came to the present.

The police were already around. They came in breaking the gate. They bought the cars till the entrance, while we always parked it outside the lane and came walking through the Forest like Mad f*cks. The sirens blew like volcanoes in my head. There were like six cops in two cars. Two of them came near us, while some went inside KRI with Nick.

"She has fainted, we need water!" said Niha. She was signaled to ask water with another cop who was near one of the cars. She bought a bottle of water as soon as possible, while April was lying lifeless in my hands with very slow breaths. Thank God, I caught her at the right time, before her head hit the floor. With a few sprinkles, April was up.

She started crying again when she saw the cops and everything. Niha joined. Weird, how everyone cried at least once till now, except for me. Not a tear. Cold Jake, COLD!

We sat in their car with two cops asking us about everything. Obviously we couldn't tell them Everything! After like an hour the ones inside came out. Nick looked worried. Their faces read 'NOTHING'!

"This is something else. Not kidnap. There is no way someone could kidnap them from that room. You were outside the room when this happened, right? Are you sure no one went in?" One of them asked looking at April.

"I'm sure!"

"Then there's no way. Window, not possible as it opens right into the mud pit. So, jumping isn't a choice, they would be stuck, and even if they escaped, their foot prints would be visible in the grass nearby. Nothing is there!Also, no secret opening. This must be what I feared would happen tonight when Murugan called me. The same thing that happened six years back when two reporters went missing and we didn't find them, till date! There is some evil here and it hates when humans come here..."

"Oh! Will you stop it? Like, really? You really think it's some ghost? For God's sake you are a cop! You are supposed to investigate, not assume! Three of our friends are missing and you are acting like an uneducated? You think this is a joke?" Niha went harsh on them. We calmed her down. He might even put a case on her for talking like this. It was such a shit thing that we couldn't tell them about Infinity. Is it even that? I don't know anything! Aghh!

"Okay, Miss. We know our work, you needn't tell us. We did do a one hour Investigation in the middle of the night. And, just so you know, coming here for an investigation isn't our first time! We will keep continuing the investigation until we find them. But, coming into a private property and poking noses also has punishments you know." He raised an eyebrow. If his eyebrows could shoot arrows, it would pierce right through us at this moment.

"It's my Dad's property. We aren't poking noses." said Nick firmly.

"Oh! Then, Son, he's in serious trouble if the three missing people are not found within 24 hours. Until then, missing case cannot be filed. You better find them soon. Else, tell your Daddy to be ready with reasons." The Drag Invoice was clearly A Mock. This was a  joke for him! I hated him!

24 hours. I hope we find them too. April told them about the Man she saw. The camcorder recording did catch him. Weird, he didn't change his dressing style a bit. Also, T's coat was found. He had kept it near the staircase railing when we went in. Avi held it, with a constant stare, tears just rolling down. What if he never comes back?
