8 An abrupt intrusion

End of flashback~

"The whole thing does not make sense," said Aiden

"Yeah, it seems as if the victims already knew what was about to happen to them."

"But I think that Nick knew what would happen to both of his bosses," said Lilura

Flashback~

"The whole thing does not make sense," said Aiden

"Yeah, it seems as if the victims already knew what was about to happen to them."

"But I think that Nick knew what would happen to both of his bosses," said Lilura

"Ma'am?"

"Yes Steve, did you find anything?" said Lilura

"Yes ma'am. Actually, the victim's family did receive the call."

"Who are they?"

"Ma'am actually.."

"What is it Steve?"

"They don't seem that welcoming and from the tone of their voices it was sure that they weren't a bit interested in anything."

"Why wouldn't they want to meet the dead bodies of people from their own family?"

"That's not the big thing Aron, not wanting to meet them is fine but not even being interested in their family's matters is something really absurd."

"Let's meet their family."

"You mean the victim's family Lilura?"

"Yeah. I want to see them and their attitudes towards the victim's death."

Cars sliding~

Knock Knock.

"Mumma there is someone at the door."

"Coming honey, don't open it by yourself."

"Yes, how may I help you-?" asked a woman in her mid-thirties.

dressed in a normal housewife costume.

Seeing them seemed to have caused a great curse on her. The colours on her face faded but she covered her emotions quite well. However, she did not know someone caught them all.

Not wanting to waste time introducing themselves Harry showed her his badge and explained why they were there. And the woman led them in.

"Actually we don't know about them much."

"But the man is your brother-in-law."

"Yes, he is. But ever since I have stepped into this family I have never seen him except for the times when his brother and I got married and when we had our child."

"Where did he meet you when you had your child? In the hospital?"

"No. In our house."

"So he did not use to frequent your house? Even on family occasions?"

"We are not a big family. And in this family only he and his brother were the only ones left. His father died when he and his brother were quite young and his mother is in the Psychiatric hospital."

"Why is she there?"

"That's because she.. she is mental."

"Well, I know that as she is in a place like that, but I wanted to know why she is there? What was the cause?"

"I cannot really tell you the reason."

"Why?"

"Because I also don't know it."

"How many years has it been that you got married in this family?"

"3 years."

"He was married. You guys knew?"

"No, he did not tell us about it before. He only married her and told us about it later on."

"How was he in person."

"As I told you, I only met him twice. So I can't really judge his character by that."

"Alright then thank you for your time, when your husband returns please tell him to call on this address," said Lilura and was about to step out of the room when a small boy probably the age of 2 came up to them. He had some kind of a paper with him that he wanted to show but at the same time couldn't show may be due to the fear and shyness he has for the strangers.

So Lilura squatted down in front of the little boy matching his height and said

"Hey, there little boy."

"Hello." the boy cutely replied.

"What is your name?"

"My name is Ali.

"Ali! Wow-what a splendid name you have dear."

"Thank you." this time the small fella smiled brightly showing his cute canines in the process.

"So Ali if you won't mind me asking you how old are you dear?"

"I am 3 and a half years old." The small guy cutely said raising his 3 small figures of his right hand and he also made a small fist showing the half.

"Alright, do you go to school?"

"Yes, I do!"

***

"She lied."

"Yeah."

"But what would she get by that?"

"I don't know."

"What is it, Steve?"

"Ma'am actually there is a problem.."

"Ahhhh" suddenly a disturbing female scream rang out outside.
