《Phantom Transgression》Chapter 26

It was not for the first time when Camshron had been called in Mr. Fernsby's desk since he had been handed this case. Mr. Fernsby was sitting in his chair with his eyes fixed on The Washington Post like he ruled the world. (For this case he ruled everyone and he-himself was ruled by the Director of CIA.)
"CIA has not concluded anything on Haq's murder. Last day director of CIA said Mike was not a culprit. He doesn’t think sharing our opinion to media in this press conference is acceptable…" he read the article aloud to make Camshron listen those heavy words.
"Sir, Bob. It's him."
"Who's him?"
"I don’t know yet…but we will know."
"When? When he will be gone like he had come?" Mr. Fernsby banged the newspaper on the wooden desk. "You have any option?"
"Well, not a very good one."
"WHAT?"
"Sir, you know 4th July's event in DC?"
"Everyone knows about it."
"Why was president absent there? Was there any security error by Norton?"
"You still think Norton is in all this? Can he try to kill president?"
"Misunderstanding, all it is. I mean to say just look at Haq's autopsy reports. He was starving, isn’t it? Maybe he didn’t eat anything because he was depressed by something. I don’t think there is some more reason for a rich fellow to be hungry unless he was busy."
"Look Nathan," it was the first time when he called Camshron by his first name, "you know that no records are available which answer why or where Haq had been before his murder. Culprit has erased everything."
"Is it Bob, who comes from nowhere in this matter, so much clever that he can erase all of his official records?"

"He might have conspired. First, second, third,…person. Yes. Process of handling takes place in high profile case like this."
"Any big name has appeared in all this as 1st, 2nd, 3rd person?" it was a critical question from Camshron.
"Colonel Norton." Mr. Fernsby raised his eyebrows. "But he must not be in all this. Perhaps he is trapped by someone."
"Any more people in ascending order as per their governmental power or post?"
"Tell me what you are thinking right now." said Mr. Fernsby, lighting his cigarette for the first time in his duty.
"Something is missing."
"As I guessed." puffing smoke out.
"And I think the missing part is gap between us and this Bob."
"What if the gap doesn’t exist?"
"Then it would be very interesting scenario."
"I can't understand you Camshron. We are after Bob and you are after Haq."
Camshron was in the mood of giving philosophical reasons instead of logics and was interpreting GAP. Only Camshron knew what he was thinking about, and he was never going to share it with anyone.
"Are you confident you are on the right track?"
"Leave it to me sir." Camshron remembered about someone, "How is Lorgé doing?"
"He is still here like a mouse and won't be departing until you catch Bob. He's having fun with our cops here."
"I reckon we have had enough data from Mike."
"You reminded something Camshron."
"What?"
"Mike has no lawyer and despite of his mental condition he would be shoved in jail for minimum fifty years."
"How sad is it?"
"He hasn't even married." said Mr. Fernsby from the point of nowhere.
"Let him marry female jailers."
Mr. Fernsby smiled and pressed the cigarette in the ashtray. It looked like Mr. Fernsby was not a serious man now.
He looked at Camshron and left the room.

8 63The Oddity: The One Who Does Not Belong
A purple ball descended from the sky, a gift from the primordial dragons, granting many races of the world access to magic. Unfortunately, humans were not one of those. During the great war, the magicless humans were nothing more than fodder, meat shields. Until one day, their powers awakened. After the war, with the ability to now wield, fire, water, earth, wind, or lightning, powerful magicians gathered to build a safe haven for humans, the Kaldora Empire. Before the humans had magic, other races prospered with it. But, within their midst, there were... oddities. People with an affinity for two elements. Each one leaving some sort of disaster in their wake. Each one, not quite fit for this world. A young boy's family, killed in an accident, only he and his sister survived the night. After that, they were split up, each taken in by a different relative. It has been eight years since the flames engulfed his home and most of his family. With his magic powers finally showing itself, he goes off to a magic academy to better learn about his newfound powers. But as he grows, something else does as well. The voice inside his head, the thing that influences his thoughts, the monster that he wish was gone, the devil inside his heart. This is a tale about connections. NOTE: The story will be slow for many of the chapters and the time will also match it, ex: goes by day by day. The time mostly will be used for introducing and adding to characters. It won't pick up until somewhere in the twenties but there will be action and events earlier on such as the missions. Just a fair warning. Order of Phantasmal Architects
