Conan's POV

" Sorry, sir. We will take care of it. We didn't know how that happened?" The manager said. He was saying sorry continuously but I was surely going to destroy him if something happened to Sarah. Thanks God that bullet missed her.

" You think it's a joke? How can someone shoot my wife like that in your hotel, huh?" I asked.

" Sorry, sir. We don't know but we will surely do something about it." He said.

" Hell with your something. I don't even care about it." I said.

" We are trying to find it out, sir. We will definitely do that." He said.

" Don't try. Just find it out." I said to him. " I don't want to hear any accuses. Just do it." I said.

" Sure, sir." He said.

" You can leave now." I said to him.

" Yes, sir." He left and I went inside our suite. I found the cops interrogating her. What the hell!!! She is already scared. Can't they wait for awhile?!

" Excuse me?" I said and they turned to me. She looked up with those molten eyes of hers and my heart clenched. I walked towards them and sat next to her. She hugged me at once and started to sob.

" She is already scared, officer. Can you please continue it later?" I asked him.

" Alright, Mr. Fitzston. We are waiting outside. Call us when she is comfortable with it." He said and walked out of there.

" Babe!!" I caressed her hair. She kept sobbing holding on me tightly.

" Don't cry, Babe." I said. I patted her head. I can feel that.

" Calm down, Babe." I said rubbing her back. She didn't say anything. She was just trembling time to time.

" Everything is fine. It's ok. I got you. I don't worry, babe. Don't be scared." I said kissing on her head. She was so terrified I can feel that.

" I.. I..." She was sobbing.

" I am here, babe. No one can hurt you. I will not let anyone." I said to her. She clutched on me tightly.

" I...want...want..." She was choking in between.

" Yes, babe. What do you want?" I asked her.

" I want to... Want to...go home." She said and I sighed.

" Sure, babe. We will go home." I said.

" I ... don't ... don't want ...to ..to be here." She said and I nodded.

" Sure, Babe. As you say." I said. " But there are cops outside they are waiting for you to talk to them. You should talk to them.

" I.." she was saying.

" Please, Babe. For me." I said and wiped her tears. She nodded. I wanted to go and call them in but she clutched my hand.

" Where...are...you...you...go... going?" She sobbed and I patted her head.

" I will call them in." I said.

" I...I...will go..go.. with you." She clutched on me and I sighed.

" Ok, Babe. But on one condition." I said and she looked at me with teary eyes. I wiped her tears and kissed on her forehead. " You won't cry." She nodded burying her face on my chest.

I called them in and they started to enquire her. I was holding her tightly.

" Mrs. Fitzston, do you have doubt on anyone?" The cop asked.

" N..no...no." she shook her head.

" Ok, be easy. We will find the culprit out. Relax. No one will harm you." He said. " Has anything awkward happened today? Like some threatening or any hints that can be suspicious. Try to remember. Do you think there were anything like that before the attack?" he asked her. She looked down at the floor for awhile then nodded. What?!

" Which threatening, Babe? Why didn't you tell me before?" I asked her worriedly.

" It's... it's not like threatening. This morning Caleb and I went to see the Eiffel. Then he went to get me ice cream and I was sitting on the roadside bench. Suddenly a weird guy came and sat next to me. When he was going back he left an envelope for me and there was a note saying, ' How beautiful is death?'." She said.

" Why didn't you tell me then?" I asked her. This girl will kill me someday.

" I thought he is a psycho and got a wrong person." She said.

" Anything else?" The cop asked and she nodded again.

" Then when we came back and I was checking my phone I found a text saying, ' Isn't death beautiful?' then my friend called me. I went to receive the call and all these happened." She said.

" Can I have the number, please?" He asked and she gave her the phone.

" Don't worry, we will find out the culprit soon. We will track this number. Let's see who dared to do this." The cop said.

" Please do it fast. I don't want it keep bothering us. Specially my wife." I said and he nodded.

" If you want we can send some of the cops to keep an eye on you. We can find them out by that. Because they are going to contact with Mrs. Fitzston again. That's for sure." He said.

" We need some privacy." Sarah said and I chuckled inwardly.

" Security is more important than privacy, Mrs. Fitzston." He said and I nodded.

" No, still. You can find out any other way for that." She said. I sighed. We talked awhile with the cops and then they left.

" Babe, I will just be back. I am outside of the door. Don't be scared. Ok?" I asked her. She nodded.

" Officer!!" I called him.

" Yes, Mr. Fitzston." He said.

" You can send your people to keep an eye on us. Because I know they will try to contact with Sarah again. Just tell them to stay a bit away from us so that Sarah doesn't think they are the culprits. You know, she has a weird brain." I said and he chuckled.

" Ok, you don't have to worry. Just take care of yourselves. I will be going now. Good night. If you find anything wrong don't hesitate to inform us." He said and I nodded.

" Sure." I said. I came back to the suite but I couldn't found Sarah. Where has she gone now?!

" Babe?! Where are are?" I said and went inside. " Sarah!!! Babe."

" I am here." I heard her voice and turned. My eyes open widen.
