I woke up early in the morning. The police officer called me and told me that he would not provide security any further. I asked Luke to talk to the police over phone. Later that day he called me and told me that they didn't believe us and it was getting costly and without any proof they would not provide such security.
Before showing my home footage to any other outsider I wanted to figure out who the person was. I wanted Luke to find it for me. He played those footage reels over and over again but failed to figure out who he was.
Luke came knocking. "Holly left the job" he yelled.
I knew he had a soft corner for her too. Maybe he had liked her someday.
"Yeah, she told me yesterday" I replied as I held his arms.
She just vanished. Nobody knew where she was. I don't know how she was or what she was up to but her sudden decisions chocked me. Luke was worried about her, he called her again and again but she didn't answer. At some point even I was tensed. I had no idea whether she was okay or not. Questions arose in my mind like why did she change.
"I am going to the airport to check whether she is leaving or not" he said and rushed out.
Even I wanted to know where she was. Days passed by and Luke didn't inform me about her neither did he call me to gossip about any other matter.

"Hello!" I heard a shrill voice
I felt a rope on my neck.... oh, I was chocking.. I was dying... I could feel the world collide... I wish someone would remember me after I was gone. Someone would miss me.
I struggled. Held the hand of the man. He was strong. He strangled me and dragged me. He tied my hands. I tried to move but I was captured in a chair. Punched me in my stomach, and left me half-dead.
Maybe he thought I was dead. Maybe he didn't check my pulse.
I could hear him leaving. I caught my breath and removed the rope. I grabbed my phone and called Luke. He came rushing...
"Omg! Are you okay? Oh...you are badly hurt, let me hold you" he said and helped me sit on the couch.
He applied medical on me and I told him about the situation. He guessed that it could be the boss's enemy.
I asked him to check the footage. He logged in from my computer and clicked several buttons to see the footage.
"Holy Crap!" he yelled. Silence invaded him and he remained shut before he could say a word.
