Gareth pulled a broken chair and sat on it and continued to smoke.

He said, " I just want two of your officers to bring the travel agents to a location. "

" What if I don't? "

" You have two minutes. "

" Forget that I will ever listen to a street urchin. "

He hung up the call.

May asked, " Who was on the call? "

He turned to his wife who was standing outside the kitchen.

" Just a scammer. "

Gareth walked out of the factory. He accessed the contact list of his phone and made a call to Rick. Rick (in his mid thirties) was standing with his bike outside Engrid's house. His phone began to ring. He looked at the phone and attended the call.

Gareth asked, " Where are you? "

" I am standing outside his house. What's the order? "

Gareth looked at his wrist watch.

" Do it. "

The call was hung up. Gareth walked towards his SUV. He opened the door, sat inside and drove it away. Rick opened the zip of the backpack which was kept on the seat of the bike. He took out a molotov cocktail bottle from the bag. He held the bottle tightly. He took out a lighter from the left pocket of his jacket. He lit the bottle with the lighter. When the bottle caught the flame, he threw the bottle at Engrid's house. The entire ground floor of the house caught the fire in no time. June's screaming voice was heard which made him to smirk. He kept looking at the house for around twenty seconds until the screaming didn't stop. He got his hand behind the jacket and out a handgun. He stepped towards the house. He opened the door and walked through the passage. May was lying unconscious at the kitchen door. June was lying on the ground of the room and was coughing. She was trying hard to reach the table. He heard the sound of steps. He turned to the stairs. He went upstairs. When he reached at the landing, he saw Engrid was coming downstairs with his unconscious son, Ryan in his lap. He pointed the gun at him who was baffled and stunned to see him there. Rick pulled the trigger and shot him on his head. Engrid began to bleed from his head. He dropped his son who fell on the stairs. Engrid fell on the ground and died. Rick came to Engrid's body and shot him twice on his chest. He walked downstairs.

Rick stepped onto the deserted railway platform next morning. A train approached in the distance and arrived at the platform. Rick was sitting at the window seat of a dining car of the moving train with a backpack beside him. He was having champagne in a glass. His phone beeped. He took out his phone from his pocket. He accessed his recent chats. He opened an image file which had an image of Veer. Rick walked through the platform of the Munich central station carrying the backpack. He went to a fast food stall of the station. He ordered two cheese burgers. The staff packed burgers in a box and handed over it to Rick who paid in cash. He came out of the station with the box in his hand. A cab came to him. He sat at the backseat. The driver drove away the car. The driver stopped the cab. Rick paid him in cash and came out of the cab. He walked away after the cab left the place. He walked through a passage on the cobblestone streets. He arrived at a narrow double storey building. A scooter was parked at the spandrel. He entered the building and went upstairs to the appartment where he used to reside. He picked up the two newspapers which were lying by the door. He took out a key from his pocket and unlocked the door. He opened the door and entered the room. The room had an attached bathroom and a kitchen. A bed was kept in the room at the corner by the only window of the room. A wooden table was kept by the wall. He tossed the bag onto the table. He washed his face at the basin. He sat at the table. He opened the zip and took out the burger box from the bag. He opened the box and began to have the cheeseburger. He put a silencer on the tip of his pistol. He kept the gun under his coat. He rode the scooter through the passage.

Rick arrived near the building of Deutsche Bank. Veer signed a document while standing at the counter. He pushed the document towards the bank staff sitting at the counter. He kept the pen inside his pocket and left the counter. He came out of the bank and walked towards the tramway. He boarded a moving tram. Rick ignited the scooter and began to follow the tram. Veer sat at a window seat in the right row of the tram. Rick led the scooter to the right side of the tram from where he could clearly see Veer at the window. He took out his gun from his left hand. He pointed the gun at him while riding the scooter. Veer got his eye on Rick. Rick pulled the trigger and shot Veer on his shoulder. Veer groaned and held his shoulder with his left palm. He bowed down in order to save himself from the bullets. Rick drove the scooter near to the tram. He took out his gun and shot at the window twice. Veer headed towards the front door of the tram while holding his wound. He jumped off the tram at Elisabeth marketplace. He rolled over on the ground in front of the visitors. He stood up and ran towards the crowd in the market. Rick parked his scooter at a corner. He got off and walked towards the market.

Nishtha was standing against the table of her private investigation office in Munich. She was facing a client, Lina (in her early thirties) who was sitting on a chair before the table. Lina's three years old son, Aron was playing with a toy plane while roaming in the office randomly.

Nishtha asked, " Why are you suspecting your husband? "

" Whenever Rick used to go out of Frankfurt we used to talk over phone atleast thrice a day. But it's been six days since his phone hasn't been reachable. "

" Did you go to the police? "

" I filed a missing report but I got no response from them. "
