Mark's POV:

I feel jealous

I feel Jealous and possessive when Anna supported her dad for no reason...

I still have no clue that how blindly she is trusting him. He is not even her biological father, he just showed a little love towards her and he is also the main suspect in Ria's case and there is a chance that he might be attacked Anna's mother too, but Anna, her eyes closed with the affection of her father's love, and she is trying to save him from Ria's case irrespective of the investigation proceedings...

When I told her about the interrogation, she gets ready very speedily even though she is out of strength and she is not interested to postpone it and I know it's just because she is loving her dad for no reason and she doesn't want him to be in the prison for so long so she wants to fasten the proceedings...

Even I don't want to delay the proceedings further because if the interrogation is done early we will know the real colour of Lucus...

And we will know how genuine he is...

And I am sure Aana's hopes will fail on her father and she will realise how cruel person her father is...

And she will feel guilty for the ignorance of my words about her dad and I guess today is the last day that Anna will shower her love towards her dad because I am sure Tom will end the interrogation proceedings, so Anna will definitely find about her dad cruel mind.

In between my thoughts, we reached the police station we both went into the room from where we can monitor the integration and the moment we entered the room, Mona came towards Anna and hugged her tightly, I went near to Tom to get an update regarding the interrogation.

Tom: Hi, Mark...

Mark: Hello Tom...

Tom: So how're the things going on...

Mark: So far, it's great...

(I understand Tom is asking about our personal life and I nodded my head as ok, his face turn to normal and he looked at Mona and Anna with a brief smile and again looked at me...)

Tom: Hmmm...

I can understand both of you had a great night...

Mark: Yes, Tom, but...

(I want to open up with him about my rude attitude towards Anna which is not me...

I don't want to treat her in such a way but this is not the right time to speak with Tom about it, I should ask him personally about it.)

Tom: I am so sorry to disturb your private time, Mark, I don't mean to disturb you and I don't want to continue this interrogation for the next two days...

But you know about Mona and she is most worried about you and Anna...

Mark: She is most worried about Anna than me, Tom...

(I looked at both Mona and Anna and both of them hugged to each other as if the world is ending in the next few seconds and Mona, she did not even look at me and she did not even say hi to me, I am okay with it because I know about her, she always care about me but at the same time she will support Anna even though it is against to me and Anna became so close to her in these few days and Mona easily get closed to the persons if the other people just showed little love towards her and Anna showered her love at her so I can understand how deeply Mona will be attached to Anna and sometimes she will stand towards Anna when it comes to supporting the situation with me, and she also know about my anger attitude and maybe that's the reason she eats Tom's mind to meet Anna.)

Tom: Well, whatever, you know about her, Mark, she is eating my brain from the last night that she wants to meet Anna. I tried to convince her but she is not in a position to listen to me, the best luck factor is she doesn't know the address of your new resort, so she didn't visit your resort if she knows she will definitely come to your house to meet Anna...

Mark: Yes Tom, I know about her she will definitely come to visit Anna...

(Both Tom and I laughed at each other and I once again looked at them, both of them are murmuring to each other and Anna is looking at his dad with her teary face...)

Mark: Well, is there any progress regarding the investigation?

Tom: Yes Mark, I need to say to you many things, I just got the reports of the fingerprints of Lucus and it tallied with one of the culprits of Ria's case...

Mark: What..?

Are you sure Tom?

Tom: Yes Mark...

Mark: Our guess is right so he is the 5th culprit in Ria's case, right?

Mark: but?

(Tom want to say something important point to me but suddenly Anna's voice distracted me.)

Anna: I want to meet my dad...

(I am shocked for Anna's wish and I tried to convince her but she is not in a position to listen to me, even Mona and Tom supported her even though they know the facts regarding the fingerprints of Lucus which matches to Ria's case...

I want to shout at Anna about the fingerprints fact but Tom looked at me signalled me to don't say anything, so I stay quiet and I don't know why Tom is hiding the fact from Anna but I can understand there might be a strong reason behind it, so I stay quiet and have nothing to do and finally accepted to their stupid decision...

I don't want my Anna to be in a risk zone by going close to her dad but I have no choice to stop her, I wish at least I should go along with her to protect her if something bad happened I can guard her but Mona is not allowing me to go along with my Anna...

I feel something insecure...

I don't know why I feel in such a way, I want to be with my Anna and I want to tie my Anna's hands and legs and don't allow her to meet her dad, I don't care if she hates me or not, all I care is she should be safe. But I am in a helpless condition, they are not listening to me and allowing her to meet her dad by letting her to go into the hunter's den...

But finally, I am convinced because Tom is going along with Anna, and I am sure Anna is safe and secure when Tom is around, even though my heart and mind are still warning me to don't allow my Anna to meet her dad, maybe I feel insecure because I just got to know about the fingerprints of Lucus...

Tom: Mark, there is a secret back door into the interrogation room, and if there is any emergency that is the way to enter into the room through the secret door...

(Tom pointed me the direction to enter into the secret door and in the next second he handed over me a pistol, I am shocked and looked at Tom.)

Tom: Use it wisely, Mark...

(My heartbeat skip for a second because Tom suspects that it is dangerous to go into that room but I didn't understand why he is supporting Anna's decision.)

Tom: Okay?

Mark: Is it necessary, Tom?

Tom: Yes, Mark, be alert...

(I nodded my head as ok and understand even Tom is scared to allow Anna to meet her dad but I did not understand why Tom is allowing Anna...

I looked at Anna when she is leaving the room, I want to say to her to stay away to her dad but she didn't even look at me and went along with Tom to meet her dad...

Mona: Why are you mad at me?

Mark: Don't you know why I am mad at you, Mona?

Do you think it is safe for Anna to visit her dad?

Mona: Please Mark...

Try to understand...

How can we say no when she is requesting with her cry face that she want to meet her dad?

Mark: So, you will keep her in the danger zone by threatening her life?

Don't you know how dangerous it is?

What will you do if Lucus tried to attack Anna?

Mona: Mark, Tom is with her and nothing will happen to her...

Mark: if it is really out of danger, then why Tom will give me this pistol and he will show me the secret door of the interrogation room?

(Mona shocked and stay quiet for a few seconds.)

Mona: Did Tom gives you the pistol?

(I showed the pistol to Mona as yes.)

Mona: Does it mean the situation is dangerous..?

Mark: Why it is not dangerous, Mona?

Tom just told me that Lucus fingerprints match to Ria's reports...

Mona: What?

I don't know about fingerprints, Mark...

Tom didn't say anything to me about fingerprints, if in that case, I don't allow Anna into the room...
