"But why did you specifically say about fear? Do you remember any part of the conversation that he had with the man that you were talking about earlier?"

"Well, to be honest, I vaguely remember that. I was a bit troubled myself at that time. So I didn't bother to focus much on it."

"I see."

David sighed as he hit the dead end.

"Erm... but there was something about some memory that they were talking about. Or maybe just a figment of my imagination."

"Memory ?? Whose memory to be specific?"

"That I don't know. Maybe this loss of cognition or maybe something. I don't know David. I really don't know. It's better that you don't get your hands dirty in this mud. Because one thing I have learned is that the less you know is better."

"Hmm...."

"Will retire to my bed now. It's late."

Saying that Dr. Oshana disconnected the call and went to sleep, but sleep was miles and miles away from her eyes for she was now torn between the three parties and neither of them knew about each other and each of them expected her to act the way they wanted.

For a moment, she wanted to run away and hide in a forest, but she knew that Sebastian was capable of finding her out from any corner of the world. So, taking a deep breath, she lied on her bed cursing her fate for making the grave mistake of getting lured by Sebastian Walker's words.

Even though Dr. Oshana had given a clue to David, it made no sense because of its acute vagueness. But still, it was the straw of hope for him in the ocean of uncertainty. So opening his laptop, he started searching.

"Memory Erasure"

"Drug-Induced Amnesia"

And then suddenly from one of the WIKI page searches he found.

"There are other drugs that also can cause their users to be put in an amnesic state, where they experience some type of amnesia because of their use. Examples of these drugs include Triazolam, Midazolam, and Diazepam."

"Diazepam"

"This sounds familiar."

"Where have I seen it?"

Then he scrolled back through the history of his WhatsApp messages with Raymond and found a conversation.

.

.

"Don't do anything irrational Raymond." - David

"But I am feeling all restless. I need to see her David, but I know I shouldn't. But it's killing me." - Raymond

"Shall I contact Dr. Oshana. Get something to calm you down?" - David

"Don't bother her. I guess, its because I have run out from my medicine." - Raymond

"Not an issue. Just send me a copy of the prescription. I will get it on my way to your place." - David

"But till then hold tight. Send me the message and then switch off your phone." - David

Next in the conversation was the screenshot of Raymond's prescription where he had circled "Diazepam."

.

.

Seeing that before he could lose his temper, he called up Dr. Oshana again,

"Hello, David."

"Why did you prescribe Diazepam to Raymond?"

"What?"

"I am asking you, why did you prescribe Diazepam to Raymond?"

Hearing him, Dr. Oshana stayed silent for a while and then said,

"I think being the right hand of Sebastian, you should be knowing about it."

"Ok, now do not test with my patience. I asked you a question, so you better answer that and not ask me questions back."

She was weirded out with the way he talked but she answered.

"I just gave it as Sebastian had told me to. He asked me, so I gave. I don't know what purpose does it serve. I mean it cannot wipe out entire memory or anything, but yeah if any selective suppressed memory is there, then it will help to keep it suppressed."

"What memory?"

"How on earth am I supposed to know about it? I am just happy to have him as a patient. That's all David. Your questions are somehow making me uncomfortable. Does Mr. Sebastian know that you are asking questions behind his back?"

David smirked hearing her question.

"You are questioning my loyalties now?"

"Of course, else why would you ask all these things behind his back? Will Mr. Sebastian be comfortable knowing the fact that you called with these queries?"

"Are you threatening me Dr. Oshana?"

"I am not threatening. I am just asking. If you have anything to say or tell about me to him, then I might also narrate to him about this conversation."

"What conversation?"

"This conversation in which you are asking me about all these details."

Dr. Oshana replied all furiously.

"Then what about the conversations that you have been having with Dr. Nelson? Oh, wait !!! not just him, with Akira as well. I heard you purchased tickets to Nebraska."

"I don't think Mr. Sebastian asked you to do so !!!"

There was pin-drop silence on the other side of the phone.

"Remember Dr. Oshana, learn to not to throw stones at others, when your own house is made of glass."

Saying that David disconnected the call.
