'I was drowning ........... the water completely filled my lungs , I was gasping for breath but all in vain . I finally gave up and stopped fighting .' "Get up Evelyn !!" A voice crept into my ears and I slowly opened my eyes. "Good,I'm going out for work drink this and take rest." Edmund said handling me lentil soup which looked more of yellow water. "Where did he went?" I asked getting up from the bed . He threwed a file at me "Study it , I will be back till lunch" Edmund said and left. I took a bath and changed into a pair of black Jean's with a brown leather jacket I soon poured the luscious soup into the bin. I opened the kitchen cabinets but all of them were filled with everything except food , luckily I got 2 eggs in the refrigerator and made a omelet.

I sat on the dining table and opened the Red File that Edmund gaved me in the morning. I started reading it and I nearly choked my omelet after reading a few pages. It said that 'the daughter of Mr.Carter that is Daisy Carter was kidnapped on 4th August and a ransom of 10 crore dollars was demanded by the kidnappers. The kidnappers took the ransom but they didn't handovered Daisy to her father.After being tricked Mr.Carter went to police. Kidnappers called again but from a satellite phone,this time they demanded 20 crore dollars. Even with the help of police Mr.Carter couldn't find his daughter. Kidnappers took the money from the freemont street but tricked Mr.Carter again. Police tried there best but couldn't find any lead in the case later the case was shut down. Daisy Carter is still missing.'

The pages were over but onething was sure that the chapter wasn't. I   cooked macaroni for lunch and then scrolled through the internet for latest updates. "Did you read the file ?" Edmund asked entering the house and sat on the dining table. I nodded and served him some macaroni."But what do you want me to do ?" I asked digging into my plate. "I want you to be my assistant." Edmund replied."WHAT??!!" I exclaimed getting up from my seat . "Johnson camed to arrest you and take you back to some Roberts in London yesterday but he owes something to me for which he lied to His colleagues and now your family thinks you ran away from here too." He said. "Who's this Johnson ?and what does he owes to you that he lied to his seniors for you?and THEY ARE NOT MY FAMILY!!"I exclaimed loudly."from yesterday's drama I came to know that you don't like questions and same goes with me don't think I am doing this for you or something, I owe a lot to Mr.benjamin and now you are my responsibility atleast till he comes out of jail and most importantly you will work for me to repay everything!" He exclaimed getting up."What do you mean by everything?" I asked in a not so meany tone or maybe it was mean I don't care!. "Ohkay then I will call Johnson he will take you back to London." He said walking outside."No! I'll be your assistant!" I said following him .

"It has been 20 days since the girl has gone missing I don't think she's alive.." I said. "Why do you think so?" He asked locking the door."they already killed her, Mr.Carter earns 200 crore dollars monthly.if someone is asking only 10% only then I am sure something's wrong. " I said confidently. We started walking on the streets of LA."she's alive but Mr.Carter is lying kidnappers asked something more something else in the ransom." He said removing something from his pockets. "Where are we going anyways?" I asked,he stopped and handed me a gun. My heart was in my mouth,Edmund placed the gun in my boots and then we kept walking after a few minutes regaining my state of mind "you don't collaborate with Johnson because he doesn't trust you but just because he owes something to you he lied I don't get it..." I said. "That something is our everything. " he said. While we were talking I felt someone's stare burning on my back.

"Mr.Carter appointed you then why didn't he told you the truth?" I asked turning behind. "What happened?" Edmund asked me."someone is following us..." I said turning back again but when I looked ahead Edmund was gone . I looked around but the people of LA were so busy in there own world that they no one had time to notice me. 'Where did that donkey went?!'I murmured and waited for half and hour I just couldn't find him. I took a cab and went to Mr.Carter's office.The receptionist said that I needed a appointment to meet him, I thought for a moment and planned a small drama. I acted to faint and that actually worked the employees carried me inside and placed me on a couch. They left to inform Mr.Carter meanwhile I got up and wandered for clues.'what does that Edmund White think of himself?I'm better than him!' I murmured opening different rooms. I was so into my own world of proving myself I actually didn't realized that I walked downstairs of the huge building which I suppose was the basement.

I opened the door. The room was dark and quiet scary.'come on Evelyn! You can do this.' I said some words of encouragement but honestly they weren't so encouraging. I stepped inside the dark room and looked around but I couldn't see anything. I sensed someone's presence, I quickly pulled the gun out of my boots and became more alert but suddenly I bumped into something. I holded the object and claimed up.'it's a bed !' I said to myself. Due to my eye infection my senses have become more stronger than before.

Out of the blue I heard someone was locking the door. I quickly turned but the door was already closed. With the support of wall I found the switches.'I don't need Edmund.' I said proudly and switched on the lights. My heart and brain both freezed for a microsecond when I looked around. The basement didn't looked like a basement,there were paintings hanging on the wall, stuff toys and games lying on the floor but the thing which made blowed my mind was that there was a huge bed in between and the most shocking thing was that there was someone sleeping on it .

My senses flewed when that person pulled the sheets down and got up. "Daisy??!" I screamed. "Who are you?where's Daddy?" She asked . I saw that she was constantly staring at my right arm , I instantly inserted my gun back into my boots and stepped near her . "Don't worry I won't hurt you." I said stepping closer but she still looked scared . "I want Daddy!" She screamed. I sat next to her and hugged her. "He is in here,in no time you will meet him." I said kissing her forehead. "No he won't! He has left me forever!" She screamed and started crying. "Calm down Daisy." I said wiping her tears off."you are 14 years old,stop crying like kiddos!" I said getting up and started looking here and there to find clues.

I looked at the paintings and was completely shocked . "Who's this man?" I asked her . "That's Daddy!" She exclaimed. I took some photos of the room and the paintings. "How do you know me?" Daisy asked getting up from her bed . I ran towards her and made her sit again . "What happened to your legs?" I asked . "He beated me." She said crying. I tried to call Edmund but he didn't answered .

I threw the phone on the bed. "What happened?" Daisy asked. "You asked me earlier that how do I know you well there's this angel who showed me your photo and told me about you but now he is lost somewhere." I said. Daisy picked up my phone and called the police and told them everything while I was just standing there thinking what to do. Accidentally I looked at the ceiling and my heart raced . I took a toy and banged it on the cameras. 'I knew that Mr.Carter would surely come to us but the thing is even if police saved us from him by coming on time they will see me and no matter what I I ain't going back to London'I murmured to myself.

"Where's Edmund??!" I screamed. "You are my angel."Daisy said hugging me . I made her hide under the bed carefully with her supporting sticks, I slept on the bed and pulled the sheets over. I holded the gun close to my heart. I told Daisy text Edmund maybe because I was sure that the police won't arrive on time. I closed my eyes and thought about that every single happy moment in my life though there are only a few. After sometime I heard somebody was unlocking the door. Finally he opened the door and with every footstep he took my heart was pounding even faster.

He stopped besides me , I triggered the gun . He pulled my sheets off. I lifted my gun up and shot but it was Edmund and not Mr.Carter. The bullet already left the gun and there was no way to undo that .
