Dark Light

THE INCIDENT

In the afternoon , at Johnson household

The sign of despair is on all of their faces , only Mr.Johnson is not worried about the death of his son at all . '' Why did the murderer killed Samuel ? and why did he steal those secret treasures ? and why did he gave them back to us in this way ? what's the motive behind this ?'' this was the only thought that filled his head .

He was sitting in his study table and thinking about it . At this time Mrs.Johnson has arrived with coffe in her hand . '' What are you thinking so much ?'' asked his wife . '' Oh what should i tell you ? why did the culprit stole those treasures away i had been thinking about it since the morning '' he replied taking the cofe from her hand .

'' And what about our son ? you don't feel any sympathy for him at all ?'' she asked in quite agitated voice . '' What's the point thinking about the dead one ?'' asked her father in angry voice . '' What ? he's dead i know but still without thinking about how to catch the murderer you are thinking why did the culprit stole those treasures ? what kind of a father are you ?'' she stated .

'' He's dead all right , no point in finding how he was killed i want to know who is the culprit only you got that ? now go i don't want to see your face anymore '' he shouted . ''I don't know anything anymore , you are evil '' his wife rushed out saying that .

'' No matter what she says i can' t let anyone find anything about the truth behind these treasures '' he reminded himself . At this time Sophia is in her room , she was sitting on her bed . Meanwhile , Edward called .

Sophia picked it up that instant . '' Hello , Sophia are you okay ? what happened at your home ? '' he asked . '' Yes Samuel really has died i am okay the police is saying that someone may have killed him '' she replied .

'' So they don't have a clue about who's the killer ?'' he asked . '' NO , they don't '' she replied . '' I am really sorry to hear that , you take care of yourself then the cops have any clue ?''' he asked . '' No they took the information about Samuel's friend they will question them , they took all the statements of our family '' she said .

'' I see , well take care of yourself then '' he said . '' I will but mom is heart broken about this matter afterall he was her only son and grandma and grandpa has arrived they are all sad to hear this too '' she said .

''' Oh i see can you take care of yourself then i am hanging up , call me whenever you feel like it '' he said . '' Thanks for calling the atmosphere in the house is really sad and melancholic i just can't breathe '' she said .

'' Then go out and take a walk should i come ?'''' he asked . '' Well ... would it be a bother for you ?'' she Mummers . '' No it won't i am coming calling in fifteen minutes did you had lunch yet ?'' he asked .

'' No , i will have then i will call in thirty minutes '' she said . '' See you then '' he said before hanging up . Sophia went to the dining table . '' Where are you maid ? give me lunch will you ?'' she called .

'' The maids will come from tomorrow '' replied her grandma . '' Oh i forgot then who has cooked then ?'' asked she . '' Let me see give me ten minutes i will prepare something for you '' her grandma replied .

'' Hurry up please '' she pleaded . '' Why are you in such a hurry ?'' her grandma asked from the kitchen . '' I am going out to the library '' she replied . '' Library ? at this hour ?'' she asked . '' Yes i cause the atmosphere in this house is too stiff '' she said .

'' I see come home before it gets dark '' she warned . '' Okay grandma '' she replied . '' Will curry work for you ?'' she asked . '' Yes anything '' Sophia replied half smiling . After that there was a long silence untill when her grandpa came to the table and took a seat before her .

'' Is Lunch ready ?'' he asked in a heavy voice . '' I am making curry would you like ?'' she asked . '' Yes hurry up '' he replied . '' Do you like curry Sophia ?'' asked her grandpa . '' Yes i do , though mom doesn't make it '' she replied .

'' I see so which grade are you reading in ? i haven't seen you in two years you have grown up a lot ''' said her grandpa . ''I am nineteen years old now in college '' she replied . '' I see , time flies by so fast '' he said . '' Why don't you both stay here then ?'' she asked .

'' You are right we should stay here then we are becoming quite old too '' he agreed . '' Here you go your food is ready '' her grandma brought the two plates of curry . Sophia was about to eat then her grandma warned '' it's hot you will burn your tongue '' .

'' I am sorry '' she apologized . '' Let it cool down first , won't you eat dear ?'' her grandpa asked . '' Let me bring mine we will eat together then '' said her grandma going into the kitchen and bringing her plate .

'' Bon appetite '' saying this both started eating . '' Its delicious '' Sophia commented . '' I am glad you liked it it's been a while since we ate together '' grandma replied . They ate together after finishing her food in a hurry Sophia got up to leave .

'' Where are you going in such a hurry ?'' asked her grandpa . '' To the library '' she said . '' Slow down you will fall '' grandpa remarked looking at her in such hurry . She went to her room and took the purse and phone then headed out .

When she was about to cross the threshold her grandma said from behind '' get back home before it gets dark '' . She nodded and left . '' Do they always have to remind me that i am a girl and i should get back home before it gets dark ''' that thought aroused her mind .

The driver was waiting but she told her she will go by foot .She called Edward after going out . '' Where are you now ?'' she asked . '' In front of you '' he replied in a low voice . Right at the moment Edward appeared before her very own eyes .

'' You missing me babe '' he said . ''' How did you know i was about to call you ?'' she asked . '' I can read your mind '' he whispered in her ear . '' Do you always have to teas me ?'' she grunted .

'' Aww why won't i ? you are the only woman in my life , and did you forgot that we have kissed ?'' he smirked . '' I don't feel like that now '' she replied . '' I know what you are feeling now it's okay where will we go now ?'' he asked .

'' Let's take a walk around the city park '' she said . ''Okay then '' he replied . They walked around the city . '' This is such a good day '' he remarked looking at the atmosphere . '' Yes it is but i can't enjoy the beauty of the day '' she sighed .

'' I can understand your feelings i know he was not a good guy still your brother '' he said holding her hand . '' I just can't believe that someone would want to kill him '' she sighed. '' Why would anyone hold a grudge against him him '' she asked .

'' Maybe he did something and because of that someone holds a grudge against him , something like a revenge or something '' he suggested . At that time his eyes were as if filled with a lot of malice and hatred .

'' I don't think he can do something like that '' she said . '' You don't know what kind of a person is he do you ?'' he told . '' I don't but anyway let's stop talking about it '' she said . '' But i would like to know the mystery behind the statue in his pocket '' he said.

'' Did i told you that they had found a statue in his pocket ?'' she asked curiously . '' Yes , .. you did you forgot that ?'' he asked . '' Maybe it has slipped up my mind anyway what could be the meaning behind leaving the statue ?'' asked she .

'' A dying message perhaps ?'' he said . '' Dying message ? come on we not in a detective novel or something that's nt possible ''said she trying to laugh off the matter . '' Don't laugh this could be a serious issue like a hint pointing out a meaning behind the thing left behind '' said he .

'' So someone is planning revenge against my family ?'' she asked. '' Yes that's posible '' he replied . At this time the cop called .
