Chapter 5

What about the brown hair I got from the dead body? At first, I thought they left the fake trace of those brown hair desperately wanting us to fell into their trap but when I analyzed that hair, I find out a truth that the hair was not duplicate as I thought, rather it was real and belong to the animal and no one knew about the brown hair, even my best friend Emiem. When Mr. Declan asked me, "Did you find anything different than usual?" I gave my answer 'no' although I wanted to tell him the truth. But my dad's words came to my mind, "Don't trust anyone even it is your own shadow when you are dead to find the truth." Sighing heavily, I headed to the kitchen and helped her with cooking. One thing sure I will find out soon who is playing behind this tragedy. --- "Okay, guys!! Listen." I clapped my hand to get their attention back. "As we all know some of the research students from India are willing to help us and they are here to meet us." I glanced at my left side and nodded my head. They walked towards me and stood proudly beside me. They all are sharing the same features as same hair colour as black and eyes as brown and their skin colour are light yellowish and to say they are blessed with having tanned skin as a protecting shield from the sun which is common in India, like to us they do not apply sunscreen when they go the beach and I don't think they need any. "This is Kalai, Priya, Dhanu, Dharani and Pooja." I introduced everyone to my team members, as a response they nodded their head and smiled as well. "You are going to pair with them and will work together to get our mission success," I informed and as a result, I received a playful remark from Natasha who is an expert in making any situation as worst as possible. "Why? I said the matter of fact." She shrugged her shoulders. "If they were not girls, we would be glad to work with them. Otherwise what else funny to work with the same gender." She rolled her eyes making me glare at her hardly, even I don't want to. "Small correction. It's you, not us." Emiem mocked her earning a squeal from everyone in the small room where the government has assigned for us to start our research. The research centre is fine 30 minutes of walking distance from our cottage and we couldn't able to use our car because of the narrow road. As I said earlier, it will fit for one person or two and my luck I asked my mom to send my Scooty instead of my truck but being today is the first day and I'm the one who is leading them from here, I walked with them too. And I have one more reason why I didn't use my baby because I don't want to make them feel uneasy by using my Scooty while they were walking. Maybe after a week or two, I will use mine and they will walk all the way here from the cottage. Whom I blame? I informed them already about the road conditions but they didn't take my words seriously and now they are getting their reward. "Okay.. okay... now decide whom you want to pair with." I said glancing at my wristwatch what seemed to like nth time and groaned internally when the time passed 11:00 in the morning, yet he didn't decide to show up. Where the hell he went? I asked Derick to report the head of the maintainer sharply at 10 in the morning. "I will go with you." Emiem said and folded her arms against her chest daring me to say no but I said 'No.' "No one is going with me and if anyone is willing to work with me, I will let you know about my condition," I said eventually looking at everyone. "Condition no 1. I may work until night if there are any needs and 2. I don't go anywhere during the weekend as you plan, that may result in you are going to stay with me too." I said expecting a groan from everyone and I received the same that made me chuckle inwardly. "Okay done. Go and pair with the monster." She scoffed and smiled looking at the small girl in the group whose name is Kalai. "I will work with her." She pointed a finger at Kalai. "What about others? Decide fast." I said and walked out of the room to get a good look at my soon, going to be cabin, that sure as hell as worst than the research centre before we cleaned. And as expected the cabin was fully covered with dust and used things were thrown on the floor including blood. Shit!! I cursed and walked out of the cabin unable to stand there any second. Where is the maintainer anyway? As I was cursing mentally the unknown person maybe a 50 years old grandpa, my leg tripped on the carpet and when I'm about to fall, a hand snaked me around my waist and steadied me on the ground. "Thanks!" I muttered looking at the handsome man who was smiling at me for an unknown reason. "You are welcome. By the way, I'm Rakesh." He stretched his hand. "Ahh-- I'm Reil." I shook his hand hesitantly. "Derick asked me to come over but didn't expect to meet a breathtaking girl like you." He said without Shame. "I'm leaving," I said brutally not caring whether it hurt him or not because it's not my fucking business. "See you later." He waved not affected a bit. I rolled my eyes and walked past him. Once I reached the ground floor where all the furniture had been arranged properly to make a room for us, I took the phone from my clutch and dialed the number who would resolve my problem, but even before the call goes my phone fell on the floor by the sudden force.
