BXBX NOVEL Chapter 341 - Lights Were Off
Mark's POV:
We both immediately lead to Daniel's room and the moment we entered his room he is looking at us with his smiling face.)
Daniel: Did you ask Rubeus sir about me?
He might have told you to give me the VIP treatment...
Tom: Just, Shut up and tell me about the person you followed and shot at the food carnival.
Daniel: I don't know anything about him. I just suspected him and followed him, and my doubt increased more when we all again meet at the food carnival grounds.
(In between our conversation, Tom got a call, and he looks shocked by listening to the call.)
Tom: Okay, I will call you if I need any further details, and I suspect one more person, can you please send anyone to the hospital to collect his fingerprints?
(I understand it's from the police station and they may give information regarding the fingerprints on the pistol. But Tom still looks shocked and hangs the call.)
Mark: What happened, Tom?
(Tom didn't listen to me and immediately pinned Daniel's neck in anger.)
Tom: Tell me why you tried to attack on us.
Daniel: How many times I should say?
Rubeus sir appointed me to guard Mark and Anna...
Tom: Then why you fired on Anna...
Mark: What?
Did he try to attack on Anna?
(Tom immediately looked at me.)
Tom: Yes Mark, the bullet which hit on Anna's ice-cream cup and the four bullets which hit to the attacker are from the same gun and the gun tallies with the fingerprints of Daniel...
(Tom again looked at Daniel out of rage.)
Tom: Tell me the truth...
Daniel: Yes, I fired on the ice-cream cup but I just fired to alert you and I don't have any intentions to harm you...
Tom: What?
Daniel: Yes, I fired on Anna's ice cream cup only after I confirm that he is about to attack any one of you. When all the four of you are settled at the table, he takes his pistol and targeted to attack one of you. I don't want to take any chance, so I alert you by firing on her cup. And he shocked the moment all of you got alerted and misfired two bullets without looking at the target, if I am not wrong if you find any bullets in the ground please cross check them and I am sure they will definitely belong to his pistol.
Tom: Okay, but why you shot him with four bullets?
Daniel: After you got alerted he pointed his gun to your head, so I shot him without a second thought, and at the same time your friend threw the bottle at me...
That's it...
Tom: Why did you lie before that you didn't shot on Anna's ice-cream cup?
Daniel: Because all of you are thinking that I am the criminal, and I don't know how to convince you, so I said a lie but I promise I shot her ice-cream cup to alert you...
Tom: Okay, one last question, and you can answer to it exactly because you are professional in using the pistol, so can you tell me on whom he pointed his gun out of our four?
(He thinks for a few seconds and looked at us again.)
Daniel: His gun angle will definitely reach to the Doctor's head...
(Suddenly, the electricity got shut down, and it was dark everywhere...
But my mind is still thinking of what Daniel just said and now I correlated everything, Rubeus uncle suspected that someone may attack on us that's the reason he appointed Daniel to protect us but someone attacked Rubeus uncle and that's the reason Daniel is also worried along with us about Rubeus uncle because Rubeus uncle is his boss and when he got suspected about the attacker he followed us and saved us from the attacker but the moment when I saw a pistol in his hand I thought he is the criminal but he is not. And now, after listening to him that the attacker is tried to attack on Mona, we understand he is saying the truth. In the meantime, electricity has come back, and the lights were on. Tom immediately left his collar of Danial and looked at me in confusion...
Mark: What happened, Tom?
Tom: something happened...
Mark: what?
Tom: Mona's hospital is equipped with inverters because the medical equipment should not turn off even for a second and the inverters will be on in just a few seconds if the electricity is off and now the electricity is off for more than 5 minutes and inverters too didn't work...
Mark: So there may be a chance that someone might switch off the electricity and inverters intentionally...
Tom: Yes...
Immediately Tom and I went to the next room to check on the person because someone may help him to escape when the lights were off. But the moment I entered the room, we were shocked by looking at the person. His neck has a deep cut, and the neck is bleeding, Tom immediately went close to him by wearing gloves and checked his pulse.
After a few seconds, he looked at me and strike his head as no. I understand he is dead and someone murdered him at the time when lights were off, and the moment I git the thought about the lights were off I got a flash of Anna because she is scared of darkness and in the immediate second, I got a flash that the murderer may lead to Anna's room to threaten them.
Immediately Tom and I ran towards their room and the moment I entered the room I saw Mona, she is giving treatment to the Nurse and I didn't see Anna in the room.
Mark: Where is Anna?
(Mona immediately looked at me in shock and replied.)
Mona: She just went to the cafeteria to bring some water.
(After listening to Mona I didn't wait for one more second and ran towards the cafeteria which is on another floor to check on Anna. I didn't find Anna anywhere...)
