Leon's phone rang, He heard his mum crying on the other side of the phone. He stood up and forgot to put on his coat. He hardly even remembered there was a lift but rushed down the stairs from second floor of the company. He had gone to oversee some project.
Sarah saw him rush and tried to talk to him, but he just zoomed past. She stood up and followed him. She realized as she stepped at the corner of the floor that he had taken the stairs and she quickly stepped into a lift.
On the ground floor she stepped out of the lift and saw his car leave. She wondered how fast he had gotten there.
She decided to call him, but his phone went unanswered.
She got worried and a colleague asked her if anything was wrong. She simply walked off.
Leon arrived at the police station. Ryan was there.
His mum was seated at a bench. She stood up and hugged him fighting back the tears.
"Your dad has been acquitted for gun mishandling and man slaughter.! "
They sat down and Leon was too impatient to hear the whole story
"Why? "
"he is the person of interest for the death of john dell, an associate whose deal had gone sour"
Leon's dad had been in partnership with dell who had helped him start an overseas company. But dell was a Chinese citizen so according to Chinese customs he could only start a Congloremate ..with dell as the biggest shareholder and taking part in most of the decision making.
But when the company that manufactured replacement displays for laptops and smartphones including other gadgets struck a major deal, Leon's dad felt cheated when he got little returns on his part and on trying to reach dell, dell told him off.
So, he set to meet him in a lone neighborhood, but they did not still agree and threatened him. While fighting for the gun it went off and dell wound up dead.
He shot thrice using his revolver
A stray bullet spirochete off a rail and shot a boy. The boy was now in the hospital pending huge bills to revoke it from his head where it had dislodged.
Dell's family had opened suit after suit and his dad quickly withdrew his assets and investments from China.
But now the detectives had begun investigations now in America. Leon asked who the boy was, and he was told where to find him.
Ryan and Leon did not talk in the car but kept quiet and just exchanged those knowing looks.
Ryan talked with his wife. She had gone for cancer treatment in Houston. Ryan had been broken after doctors told him his wife had a terminal illness and that her life was a ticking clock. He remembered how chubby she used to be and now is wearing down. He had to pull away his children at the hospital when they sobbed as they say their mum in anaestethia unconscious as the doctors operated on her.
Leon had been very supportive even madam prime had been there too... Leon's dad had decided one fine evening to visit her at john Hopkins hospital with the whole family.
Ryan missed her so much now that she was bedridden.
If love was a flame theirs had been the sun. If it was a rock theirs had been titanium. But what use is love if the one you love will soon be gone and she is irreplaceable. He didn't know if he could move on.
He thought of the kids.
Just then the car screeched to a halt, and they got out. Infront of them was the agha khan hospital.
