Messenger Of Death

John was coughing and breathing just like others but he could not succumb to infection

"Not yet" he told himself.

"John you in there" D called "I am sending a team of paramedics."

"No don't" John denied "everyone in here is infected and unless they have proper gears or PPE kits I advice them not to."

D lost his balance, like he was losing all his strength along with John "Can I do something?" D asked "anything.."

"Yes..." John answered in his shallow breath "you need to call Disaster management and National Health Care department to find out about the virus."

"We are already in the talks." D informed.

"Do you notice anyone who is ...." D could not finish.

"Five people D" John answered, "Five are dead and the rest are coughing and suffering. I don't think we'll be able to make it. The virus is highly contagious and deadly"

"We are trying our best." D said grimly.

"The girl" John said "the Cynthia impersonator"

"Her name is Kaali" D said, "her brother was assassinated wrongly by the cops, they suspected him to be a terrorist. So she was avenging his death. Collateral damage" D was not happy about it.

"Get her tests done." John commanded even though D was his superior or God father "Find out what this virus is and also check with the list of people who had boarded the flight from the inception of journey"

"Trace and isolate" John was not able to breathe or speak but continued "trace, and isolate. Do whatever you can. This was their plan" he burst angrily, "This was their F##king plan right from the beginning."

The line went dead.

Probably John collapsed or died.

D was restless he shouted "John John "

"What happened to John?" Kathie reached D

"What are you doing here?" D was worried "are they letting people inside the airport?"

"No I have been here all the while" Kathie clarified "couldn't stay back when all of them were in danger."

"John would have been so disappointed " D nodded "you have jeopardized with your own life."

"Forget about me" Kathie shouted on the verge of tears, "Where is John? What happened to him."
D bit the inner of his cheek trying to maintain the strong demeanor but his eyes with unshed tears spoke all the pain he was holding inside. He had been hearing casualties from many more flights by their respective attendants.

Although they had contained the passengers or infected ones in the flight but he wasn't sure how bad the virus was.

"John is probably dead"

"You must be kidding" Kathie backed away "John was right. You are not the real D. You are liars, impersonators."

She hit him unaffected on the chest "you are trying to kill him" she wiped her tears "But if you hurt my John I swear to God I am going to kill you all."

"Kathie Kathie" D tried to get hold of Kathie who was breathing heavily, tears flowing her eyes "You really loved John" D lost his resolve a lone tear escaping his eyes. "I wish I was wrong

"D.. D" John called again "check out who was sitting on seat 20 A"

"You are alright John" Kathie snatched the phone from D.
