Suspicious Killer

Chapter 5

Andrew where were you ? - asked Peter as I entered home . I was very tired as it had been a hectic day for me so far .

Had some work at office - said I with a tiring look .

Dont lie , I called to your office and they said me that you had left by 4 pm itself . What is it that you are hiding from me Andrew , just tell me . Maybe I can help you - said he placing his hand on my shoulder .

At once I thought to tell Peter everything that had happened today but then I decided not to . I dint have to drag him in all this mess, thought I and remained silent .

So you are not telling me ? - asked he with an annoyed voice .

Peter please , it's my problem and I can solve it . I don't want to involve you in this - said I and left to my room .

I knew that he would be upset with my behaviour but I had no other option but to keep him away from all this . He had already done a lot for me and I could not put his liFe in danger .

I kept thinking about what the word PEET meant . It seemed a short form of some word but I couldn't figure it out. I kept drawing out possible words to arrive to a solution of what it meant but no word was appropriate . I now had only one way to get out of this and that was I had to visit ray's channel and colleagues .

I planned to go there tomorrow as today was already a very tiring day for me .

The next morning, I woke up fast and had a quick bath after which I moved downstairs to have my breakfast .

Andrew what's your plan today ? I was thinking that why not we go out for a week , it would be a change of mind for you - asked Peter .

No Peter I don't want to go anywhere as I am just held up with lots of assignments which I have to complete by this month -said I and left the dining table . I picked up my bag and headed towards my car . Though I had told everyone that I was going to office but it was nothing so as I had to visit ray's workplace today.

I reached her office in a while and stepped in ,

Where is Charles cabin - asked I to the receptionist .

Go straight and turn in the first left sir , you will find him in the last room - said the receptionist .

Ok thank you - said I and walked off in search of charles cabin. I followed the instructions of the receptionist and finally reached his cabin . He was in some call , I knocked the door from outside and he gestured me to come in and sit . I came in and sat and waited for him to end the call . I guess he was speaking to his son .

Listen to me peet .... There is no need for you to go for the squash practice today . Tell them that your not well - said he over the phone .

Peet ? This was the same name that I had seen yesterday . Liza was continuously writing this , is Charles son related to ray's  murder , thought I and decided to ask charles about his son . I had to first gather all the informations about his son . As soon as he kept the phone ,

Peet ? Who is that ?-asked I to him

My son peter, we call him peet its his short name , he wanted to go for his squash practice today but I refused to allow him to go as he was not well since morNing - said he .

But why are you asking about him - continued he

No just like that - said I and continued ,

Has your son visited your office anytime - asked I
