Case 3 part 2: Grammar
"The paper is a printed one, so we can't get his hand writing."<Vikram>
"He also gave us a clue, and that is he lives in HALFMOON city."
"How can a small clue like that be enough. He said a city name in which thousands of people live!!" Vikram said seeing my face.
"Ok ok."
"Ms. Vicky, how did you get this paper. Did someone give you?"
"No, when I woke up this morning there were many papers out the house. When I took one and saw this was written."<Ms. Vicky>
"Are there any fingerprints on it??"
"No, the cops checked but there were no fingerprints."<Ms. Vicky>
So that is why she was catching the paper so angrily and doesn't care about clues.
Trin, trin, trin
Suddenly my phone rang. I lifted the phone and kept speaker mode.
"Hi, it's me the kidnapper."
He is talking to me as if I am his friend. Bastard I am a detective I will definitely catch you.
"Again this Talking tom called!!" Vikram shouted with anger.
"Who is talking tom?! I am the kidnapper!!" the caller said it angrily but it was funny.
"Please let go of my husband. I will give you as much money as you want." Ms. Vicky said while sobbing.
"I don't want money." he said.
"What do you want then??"<Vikram>
"Not money." he said.
"I can give you everything I have." <Ms. Vicky>
"I just want Vicky for a week." he said.
"Why??why?"
The phone call cut.
"What do you think Vikram?" I asked seeing Vikram.
"I was just thinking of eating an ice cream."<Vikram>
"Not that you idiot!!, why do you think the kidnapper kidnapped Mr.Vicky??"
"I mostly likely think he kidnapped for fun. Some members will be like that."<Vikram>
"No Vikram, he said he would keep Mr.Vicky for a week."
"Ya....."
"The finals of TCT(Three cities Cricket Tonurnament) is a week from now!!"
"So, the kidnapper doesn't want Mr. Vicky to play the tournament."<Vikram>
"Yo, I kind of understand this case now!! Haha."
"Who do you think he is??"I asked Vikram.
"A human." Vikram said proudly.
"You are not going to change."
There were police nearby, I and Vikram went and said
"I am detective ADHITYA, and this is my partner Vikram." I said to an officer.
"I am Praneeth."
"Hi, Praneeth if you find a clues please let me know."
"Sure detective." <Praneeth>
"We are going to Mr. Maha's house, if you like to investigate you can come with us."
"Ohhh..... I and my partner will come."
We were on the way to Mr. Maha's house.
"Why are we going to Mr.Maha's house." Vikram said with a confused face.
"You know right, Mr. Maha was very angry on Mr. Vicky in cricket match. So he can be a suspect."
"Ya, you are right he was angry, very very angry."<Vikram>
We arrived at Mr. Maha's house. Praneeth immediately went inside saw for Mr. Maha.
Mr. Maha slowly came out of his room.
Praneeth went to Mr. Maha and asked "Did you kidnap Mr. Vicky??"
No one will confess their crime.
"No, why will I do. If I was angry on him yesterday why would I kidnap him in reality???!!!" Mr. Maha said without any fear.
"Then who kidnapped him??"<Praneth>
"How would I know??"<Mr. Maha>
Then we came out of the house.
"What do you think Vikram??"
"I think Maha is not the kidnapper."<Vikram>
"How can you say?"
"You know he looks innocent."<Vikram>
I put a smile on my face and said "I think this is the first time you said something correct."
"Is it!??"<Vikram>
"Yes."
"I just expected you know!!"<Vikram>
"What?"
* * * *
It was at 6:00pm. I and Vikram were watching TV.
Suddenly the phone rang.
"Hello I am Ms. Vicky, are you the detective??"
"Yes, I am the detective."
"Come to my house fast!!"
"Ok."
Why? what could have happened.
I and Vikram quickly went to Mr. Vicky's house.
There were many papers in front of her house. I took one paper and saw it.

Dear police and everyone

Your friendly kidnapper

"I don't know who the kidnapper is but I know for sure that he is very bad at english grammar. He doesn't even keep full stop(.) And comma(,)." Vikram said.
"You are right but are you good at grammar??"
"I am very good at grammar."Vikram said confidently.
"Then say the spelling of comma" I asked.
"Of course, the spelling is C-O-M-A" Vikram said stammering.
"You don't ever know the spelling of comma and you speak. The spelling is C-O-M-M-A!!"
"It's just a spelling don't mind." Vikram said trying to cut it out.
I slowly turned the paper back side to see if anything was there.
There was a sign like thing on the corner of the paper.
This sign looks familiar. Very familiar.
"This sign, this sign is...."
