Mark's POV:

Tom and I are walking towards the small grocery shop, but my thoughts are struck at the accident...

What may happen after he activated the time bomb in the penthouse?

He must be in a hurry to escape...

And as far as we know, he will follow the instructions given by his boss...

Then why the accident takes place..?

Is it really an accident or a planned murder?

If it is a murder, who wants to take his life?

Maybe his boss thinks that we can catch him, that's the reason he planned to murder him to clean all the proofs...

There may be a chance that the spy room boy unintentionally left some clue, and I should find the clue to find who is that boss...

In between my thoughts, we reached the grocery shop, and Tom shows his identity card to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper immediately stands to show his respect to him...

Tom: "There is an accident that takes place in this area, and the vehicle must pass before your shop. Did you notice anything about the vehicle or the driver of the vehicle?"

Shop keeper: "No, sir, I didn't notice anything..."

Tom: "Just think about it, you might notice it because it came in the wrong direction and hit the passing person nearby your shop and that person is dead now..."

Shop keeper: "I am extremely sorry sir, I am busy with my customers, and I didn't notice anything."

Tom: "Okay, did you find anything weird in this area like someone may stalk to a particular place or person..?"

Shop keeper: "No sir, if I find anything, I will inform you..."

Tom: "Okay, thanks for your cooperation and here is my visiting card and don't hesitate to tell me even if it is a minor thing..."

Shop keeper: "Sure, sir..."

(And the shopkeeper takes Tom's visiting card, and we turned back to leave the place.)

"It's a sports car..."

Tom and I paused suddenly by listening to an unfamiliar female voice...

We both turned back to look at him, and it's a girl around 12 years of age; maybe she is the daughter of the shopkeeper...

The shopkeeper immediately looked at her in an angry face to warn her to don't speak and strike his head as no.

But she looked at us without hesitation, and her face looks a little furious...

Tom and I went close to that girl...

Tom: "What are you talking about..?"

Girl: "I am talking about the car you are asking for the details..."

(Shopkeeper immediately interferes with our conversation.)

Shopkeeper: "Sir, Don't listen to her if I find anything suspicious I will inform you."

Girl: "Dad.., why are you scared?

We didn't do anything wrong...

Why should we hide the truth..?"

Shop keeper: "Stay quiet, dear...

Sir, I will definitely inform you if I find any clue..."

But why does her father worry about sharing the same information, and he is trying to stop the girl from speaking out the truth...)

Mark: "Excuse me; I don't know why you are scared to share the truth with us...

But I am sure if you hide the truth, it indirectly means you are supporting the murderer who tried to kill with his rash driving..."

(Immediately, the shopkeeper remains silent, and the girl takes two steps forward to explain everything.)

Girl: "Sir, it's the sports car, and it is parked before our shop for 15 minutes in the opposite direction..."

Tom: "How many are there in the car?"

Girl: "Only one and he is driving on his own..."

Tom: "Can you identify the driver?"

Girl: "No sir, he covered his face with monkey cap and scarf, it's tough to identify him but I still remember his evil eyes."

Tom: "Did he act any weird when he parked his car before your shop?"

Girl: "Yes, Sir, that's the reason I remember him...

Actually, there is no parking slot before our shop, and he parked there for more than 15 min...

I waited for 10 minutes and went near to his car and ask him kindly to take the car because it's not a parking area and it's not safe to stay in the opposite direction because it's an accident porn area...

He immediately showed me his middle finger...

I got angry, and I immediately warned him that I would complain to cops...

He pushed me to the ground with his hand through his window...

My dad immediately came and helped me get up from the ground and apologized to him and take me into my room...

Tom: "I am sorry, what just happened to you...

I will definitely catch him, and sure you will take your revenge by slapping him

Okay?"

(She nods her head as a yes and she feels relieved after Tom gave his promise...)

Tom: "Did you identify any other details of the car..?"

Girl: "Yeah, I think this will help you to find where the exact location of the car..."

(By finishing her words she showed her palm where she writes the car number with a pen)

Girl: "I write this car number immediately on my palm to give a police compliment on his rude behaviour and against to the traffic rules..."

(Tom immediately captured her palm through his phone...)

Tom: "Wow, you did a great job…

it will help us to reach him very quickly…

But why are you scared to share this information in the first instance with us..?"

Girl: "I am not scared for his rude actions, my dad is scared with the cops and the legal procedures because I am a girl; he doesn't want me to run around police stations and after looking at his rude behaviour, my father thinks he may harm me in the future, but I am sure that I can defend myself."

(I am surprised by looking at how brave the girl is…

I immediately looked at her father; he is looking at us in a pleading way...)

Mark: "It's okay, I can understand how a father thinks to protect his child, but in order to protect your child, you should not go against the law or should not support the crime and most importantly you should not degrade her will power."

Shopkeeper: "I am sorry Sir..,

I don't want to hide the information intentionally, like my daughter said I am scared with legal procedures and I don't want her to take troubles with that rude driver, so I asked her to stay quiet..."

(I understand how her father feels, maybe he is scared for the driver's rude behaviour on her daughter...

He may fight back, but he is scared that the driver may threaten to his daughter in the future when no one is around to save her...

So he tried to calm her down...

After the discussion with them, we came out of the shop, and Tom immediately called the police station and informed the car number and order them to give the address and the details of the sports car as early as possible.

After he hangs the call, he looked at me in confusion...

Tom: "I don't know how this will end, Mark...

When I think we are close to catching the evidence, they are skipping, and when I think it's impossible to get the evidence, we are getting it..."

Mark: "Let's hope for the best, Tom...

I am sure soon we will catch all the culprits of Ria's case, and we will know who is this boss of the spy and why he is spying on us..."

Tom: "Let's hope for the best..."

(In-between our talk, a cop came to us with the bag.)

Cop: "Sir, we identified this bag near the accident location...

We are going to take this under custody, but before that, you can check this...

You may identify any clue to solve the case..."

(Tom nodded his head as yes and held the bag by keeping the gloves on...

Even I am eager to look into the bag to find some clue…

Tom is taking out one by one...

Knifes...

Rope...

Some tools...

Foodstuff...

A little amount of money...

Pair of clothes...

And tom face turned to shock, and he didn't take it out...

I looked into the bag; it has 3 to 4 timer bombs in the bag...

The lucky part is they are not in active mode...

Tom immediately alerted the cop and instructed him to hand over this bag to bomb squad...

Something is missing in his bag…

Suddenly I got an idea of the spy room boy's phone...

Yes, if we track his phone, we will definitely get some idea about the case, but the phone is not there in the bag, so I asked the same to Tom...

Mark: "Tom, where is his phone...?"

Tom: "Yeah, I totally forgot about his phone, and the old room boy always said that he is always use his phone, so we will definitely get some clue if we hack his phone."

Mark: "Yes, but we didn't find it in his bag..."

Tom: "Maybe it's there in his pocket..."

(After finishing our discussion, we immediately ran to the dead body from the grocery shop, and Tom speaks something to the cops, and they started searching the spy room boy dead body for his phone...

Cop: "Sir, here it is..."

One of the cops takes the phone from the back pocket of the dead body...
