9 Oh My God!!!

Melisa brought the scissor to open the package. Melisa opened the package she received. As she opened it, she screamed due to the shock and the box fall from her hands and whatever was inside drop on the floor…

She rushed towards her phone and dialed a number. Someone received the call on other side and said "Hello!!!"

"Hello Bethany!!! If you are behind this preposterous joke, then it's not funny. I am telling you" Melisa said while catching her breath. She was still very shocked by the incident of the mystery parcel.

"I have no idea what you are talking about but I bet it is something interesting. Tell me… what is it?" Bethany found the whole situation very amusing. She thought of it fun and a part of some sweet prank.

"Are you sure you did not do this?" Melisa asked again forcefully.

"No!!! I did not do anything. I do not have any idea about which you are talking" Bethany said swearing to her words but she got anxious of knowing what exactly happened.

��I received a parcel filled with hairs soaked in blood or paint. I don't know. You know how I feel about it" Melisa told Bethany. When Bethany heard it she knew it was no joke at least not for Melisa. That woman is so scared of hair and someone added paint or color into it to make it look like blood. It's not funny at all.

"Yeah… gruesome… may be someone pulled a prank" Bethany tried to calm Melisa down.

"Who did?" Melisa shouted.

"I don't know. I am just guessing. You are the one who received that packet. Does it contain the name or address of the sender?" Bethany asked Melisa.

"No… it does not. I checked it first and then opened it" Melisa told Bethany.

While Melisa was talking on the phone with her close friend, she heard the bell rung from the front door. She excused herself to check the main gate and put down the receiver. As she reached the door, she began feeling uneasy. She was not sure if it was related to the box she received or the person standing on the other side of the gate. But besides that she had a hunch that whoever the person came to visit her is no good news but she still decided to open the gate as the bell kept ringing.

Samuel and Henry were in their cabin. They leaned back at the chairs they were sitting and their legs rested on the table in front of them. Their eyes were closed and they were talking in this position and resting as well.

"I sometimes wonder if anything she said was right like ever. Has she ever being honest in her entire life? Samuel said in wonder to Henry.

"Me too" Henry admitted with Samuel.

"All I could think is how wonderful is that?" Samuel remarked surprised Henry. He called that vicious cunning liar woman wonderful?

"What???" Henry asked Samuel in surprise.

"What… what? I have never seen a person lie so good and for the record she was brilliant" Samuel admitted it as a fact and was impressed by it.

"Not that brilliant. She got caught" Henry reminded Samuel.

��Do not act proud. She was caught by the doctors, science, not by us. But that's not what amuses me" Samuel told Henry clearly not pleased by the fact that they could not see the deceiver and catch her when she was in front of her platting and planning under their noses.

"What amuses you then?" Henry asked Samuel.

"Even after knowing that she lied and she is the murder we are still so far from the truth and culprit. We got nothing" Samuel said in disgust. "All I could think her name is also fake like her life" Samuel added. On this remark Henry peaked at Samuel and his blabbering mouth. He was tired and wanted sleep badly but he could not get one with Samuel continuous complains about their failures in Parker's case. He thought of having a good night sleep before the big day tomorrow on his soft, comfortable bed.

"Where are you going?" Samuel asked when he saw Henry standing and preparing for a leave.

"Home" Henry said while wearing his Jacket.

"Home!!!" Samuel was taken aback a bit because Henry has to be forced every time to go home, his own home usually but this time it came out of him naturally.

"Yes Samuel Home. I need rest and you need too" Henry said while grabbing a file from his desk.

"What made you think like that?" Samuel wondered why he would need rest.

"Your blabbering mouth like a monkey" Henry answered while leaving for his home.

"Huh!!!" Samuel responded towards Henry remark and leaned back in the position he was initially in.

**********

Henry reached home. He felt like it has been ever he has been there. He parked his car in garage and began walking towards the front door but found the door already open. For any usual man, this could have been an issue for panic but not for him. He did not expected for anyone to be there but still he knew who can be the person present there in these hours. The lock was not damaged anyhow while opening so clearly who ever the person in there has a key to do that and is known to Henry.

Henry went inside and put down his car keys on the side table of the entrance. He loosened his tie and opened the wrist buttons of his shirt. He went in the kitchen to fetch a glass and bourbon bottle and laid it on the table adjacent to the kitchen.

"Mind to pour me another glass too" Sara asked while Henry poured during in the glass for himself.

"I was under impression you had quit drinking" Henry said mockingly but with a straight and bore face

"So you remember something. It's nice to know" Sara contemptuously replied.

"What brings you here?" Henry asked Sara clearly not liking the direction of their discussion. He could feel that this meeting is going to end at another unfortunate clash.

"I could not reach out to you. I tried calling, texting multiple times but it seems like you were too busy" Sara complained.

"Yes I have been very busy" Henry said not glaring in the direction where Sara was standing.

"It is so typical of you. So very like Henry…" Sara started again with her complains and dislikes about Henry and she could go on once she stared with it and Henry knew it and clearly did not like it and wanted it to stop so that he would not lose control he was trying so hard to maintain.

"Don't you have anything better to do?" Henry asked Sara once again indirectly for the purpose of her visit.

"I always wonder that about you" Sara was not in the mood of giving straight answers. It looked like she came bearing a fight in her mind and she was very well going in that direction.

"I will ask again. What are you doing here?" Henry tried to stop the tussle between them by sending Sara away as soon as possible.

"I want a divorce" Sara said.

"You said that last time too when you were here and I heard" Henry as irritated at this point.

"That's the only thing you do. You hear. Just hear" Sara sarcastically blamed Henry for the things Henry did not understand. He sometimes wonders if there are issues ever at all or the women have ability to make one after another jut for their fun and entertainment.

"What are you accusing me of? You wanted a divorce and I am ready to give you one. Now what else do you want from me?" Henry asked.

"Nothing… just be at court on time. Tomorrow, be on time" Sara reminded Henry.

"You don't need to tell me that" Henry replied.

"But I do considering your reputation of never being on time especially with me. Who knows something else come at your work and you forgot about your court date as you do all other time with me" Sara once again made a comment about past Henry had no wish to visit.

Henry wanted to say something back but could not. He just could not. What could he say to that when he knew that she was right but it was not like he did all those things intentionally? But just one more night and this entire dream, all this horror will be gone. It will all end.

"I am leaving" Sara said and waited for Henry's response.

"Good" Henry said in a cold tone. Sara watched Henry for a while who was more paying attention to his drink and then left while slamming door behind.

When Sara left, Henry got so frustrated that he throws the glass from his hand to the wall in front of him making it shatter into the pieces. He closed his eyes and placed his both hand s over his head. He rested his head on the table for a minute and then wake up to find some work to do. He brought a file of Parker's case with him from the station to study and began to understand it. It contained all the information related to Parker's family, the kidnapping incident of Sara Parker and also the accident of Mr. Parker which caused him die. He looked at the shatter pieces of the glass and decided to drink further via the bottle directly. When he was studying the case file, he noticed something shocking and said "OH MY GOD".

He grabbed his car keys and left in a hurry without closing the main gate and grabbing his phone.
