Chapter 32 : "Is it really over ? "

Nearly 100 people gets murdered per day in his country according to the latest study , and most of the reasons and motives were personal, the things that stand out always have been money, love, jealousy and lust. But some get murdered everyday for no reason, no motive , no idea why their life were cut short from the earth, because those people were the victims of Psychopath who moral compass is skived to fit their murder instinct. They thrill in the hunt of taking down lives and they don't usually have motives behind their kills and also they don't hesitate to kill more than one person.

Finding them and putting them behind prison bars were not often easy , because they live amongst us like a shadow which we can never see unless they get caught in the sun light. Pradeep had been on the hunt for one of them for so long that when he finally unearthed the person behind the shadow, he was still left without evidence to bring her to justice , which was the reason he had an sleepless night as he wondered how many people will die because his hands were tied and she remained safe from justice.

So when a small knock sounded on his door, his hands reached to the gun in his bed drawer. After all it has been that long, since he had shot Aandhi in this house, so he wasn't prepared to come face to face with Aandhi sister, Anjali standing before his house. She didn't say anything but marched inside his house as if she was on a mission and he followed her inside wondering what got her into his house

"Is this where you shot my sister and killed her ?" the questions was asked with enough hint of anger and suddenly he understood her reasons to be here. She was grieving and since it was Aandhi Birthday, the grief brought her here and now he have to wonder if her visit was to inflict similar harm towards him or just grief. He heard enough from Aandhi over the days about how the rest of her family were innocent and had no part in Abirami actions, yet until a month ago, even Aandhi believed Abirami was innocent. So he can't take her words in full trust either

"Yes. I shot your sister because she had her gun pointed at me and confessed to being the killer I was looking for " Pradeep answered back, he didn't want to frustrate her further but if what Aandhi told him was the truth, then the one other person who know about Abirami among her siblings was standing before him .

" You shot the wrong person, my sister is innocent and you have killed an innocent person, I came here because I want you to tell everyone my sister is innocent " Anjali shouted at him, her eyes filled with tears as she continued to gaze at the floor probably imagining her sister's death.

" And do you have any proof to claim your sister's innocence or should I just take your word ?" Pradeep asked her back clearly upset that he was as helpless as Anjali when it comes to catching Abirami and clearing Aandhi name.

It clearly upset him to see the news articles and interviews from her fellow colleagues who were all quick to make up stories about Aandhi for their two minutes fame. And then there were countless others who had taken up to ridicule her and call her a murderer without having any real information . So he hadn't be prepared for the three words that changed everything

" I got Proof " Anjali answered back as she waved her phone in front of him.
