Mark slowed down his car to attend the phone call.
“I warn you to stay away from this case”. Mark hung up the phone as soon as he heard this over the phone.
These types of calls were so common to his number, but he never paid attention. ‘It happens with all dedicated detectives’, he willed himself. He heaved a sigh and accelerated his car.
Mark was one of the brilliant young detectives of the city. Everyone respected him and he enjoyed taking risks and untying the knots of mysteries.
**************************************** **********
Mark was busy checking the documents about the case. The case became his bread and breath; he was totally involved in solving the mystery. He spent most of the time in his office, studying about the case.
“Sir….”, Ella was screaming.
She was a young lady, practicing under Mark. Mark loved Ella, but he never let her know about his love. He was not sure whether she had similar feelings for him, she was so special. He kept the sacred three words, I-LOVE-YOU close to his heart.
“What? What happened? “, Mark darted towards her table and asked her.
She pointed her finger towards the table, with a note. The letters in the note was red, written in blood. Ella was shivering and she couldn’t utter a word. Mark bent down to grab the note; the words in the letter made him frightened. It read,
“Today will be your last day.”
He knew the seriousness and challenges of his new case. But he never wanted to give up.
“Please take care”, She was crying, and her face was pale.
The tears of Ella made him feel great since it was meant for him. He loved her feeble voice.
**************************************** *************
There was a large crowd in front of Mark’s apartment. The courtyard was covered with cops.
“How could it be done in such a great detective’s apartment?”, People asked each other. Everyone’s was shocked rather than sad.
A dead body was lying on the floor, bathed in blood. Its face was towards the ground and blood was still spreading on the floor.
Mark was sitting on his couch resting his face in his hands.
Police found a letter from the floor saying “I loved you Ella, but you loved Mark. And it’s easier to kill u rather than killing Mark!!!”
