''David, Please help me David, they goanna kill
me''
Again the same dream made him jump out of his
bed. He was sweating profusely. This dream
which was haunting him from couple of weeks.
He was thirsty. He looked for the jug kept asidehim, it was empty. He went to the kitchen and
gulped the entire bottle from the refrigerator.
He switched on the television.
Deadly virus kills 21 people in Kansas City
yesterday.
He lighted a cigarette. He was confused and
frustrated. His mind went unstable and he threw
away the cigarette in that frustration.
His research again failed to show some light on
Cinzor the virus which was spreading inAmerica.
David Ken was in his mid thirties. He was a
Chief Research Coordinator at St Andrews
University. His Blonde hair and Pointed Jaws

some boys.
He used this to get many girls as his blanket for
a night.
It was 8.30 am and he had an appointment with
a physician, one Dr Perry.
A woman started packing her bag. She did it
faster, faster as she could. She was in her
mid thirties. She had a manly figure with

''Do some medication and everything would be
fine.''
Soon David was out on street waiting for a cab.
His phone started ringing ''Mom calling''...
David picked the phone

and even your landline was not reachable.Mom I washuh.
''Mom wait a second, I got a cab'' David said
while pointing his one hand towards the taxi

David wanted Masters in Viral science and St
Andrews University was the place. He even got
a chance to work there as a research
coordinator under Dr Yotesmo Zukumi.
He loved his job but he really missed his mom.
He often went to see her.
Dr Yotesmo was one of the pioneers of AndrewsUniversity. But he got fired from the University
when experiments regarding the study of new
antivirus against the virus spreading in the
country that killed three Lab assistants. Thus
University head Richard Jack proscribed him
and his work.
But unfortunately after a week, Yotesmos car
blasts and he gets admitted with 95% burns but
dies the very next day. His burns were so severe
that his wife couldnt even recognize his face.
Richard Jack appoints David as the new head
on the study carried against the deadly virus.
David had to start the study from the scratch.
Dr Yotesmo never shared his work with his
colleagues. David had a hard time assisting him.

You should have a beer; she said shaking her
blonde curls at him. Whiskeys no good to
anyone in this heat.
Give your mouth a rest David said.
David again dialed a number in his cell phone
The number you are trying to reach iscurrently unavailable
He banged his cell phone on the table with
frustration.
She put a bottle and a glass on his table.
Anything more sir She asked
Nothing, just leave me alone David said
squinting his head
She returned back with a scowling look.
Brainless prosaics drink alcohol at 10 am in

herself, Coming sir give me five minutes.
She filled him with another glass of Whiskey.
In another 10 minutes the blonde came over
with his plate of Omelette and she left without
asking him anything.
Mark Mark, where the hell you been. I have
been trying your number since morning David
said as fast as he could.
Slow down man, what happened David Mark
asked in hesitation.

voice.

She hanged the bag to her shoulder and started
walking towards David.
Hello David She said
Who are you, if I want anything I will give the
order. Please dont disturb me for God sake
David pleaded.
I am Sarah, Sarah Miller She said while
placing her bag on the table.
I dont know who you are David said while
sipping the whiskey.
Mr. X sent me here She said while opening
the zip of her bag.
David kept the glass on the table in a shock.
Be calm, dont create a scene here Shewarned him.
She took some photos out from the bag.
What do you people want from me? David
said in a soaring voice.

This is enough, I am calling the Police David
said while dialing a number.
Then show them this photo too and tell them
these people will be found dead in their
apartment Sarah booed.
David was in a shock to see his Mom and
brother in a danger.
What do you want from me David begged
Sarah dialed a number and gave the phone toDavid.
Hello David, I am Mr. X
I hope Sarah treated you well. She is a sweet
bitch; you got the situation right I guess.

David created a suspicious cloud around him.
David was really upset and confused about the
anonymous call from Mr. X.
The man was serious and adamant. He was
demanding for Dr Yotesmos Research papers
on the Antivirus study against the Cinzor.David knew University had banned all
Yotesmos research papers against the deadly
Cinzor.
He even dint had any clue where University
must have kept all those research papers.
But he knew the studies conducted under the
patent name of University are kept in a safe
locker in University itself.
He knew he too was working on the same
antivirus for which Yotesmo was working.
Antivirus was registered under the patent nameof University.
So all the patent money goes to University once
the Antivirus gets
released.

Chapter 6
If anything happens to my mom and brother, I
will kill you all David said in anger.
Stop fucking and do what he told you to do
Sarah said in irritation.
Where can we find Yotesmos research
documents Sarah asked while they waited for a
Taxi outside Mindys.
Taxi St Andrews University
Where can we find those documents? Sarah
asked again
Yotesmos research documents were sealed as
soon as his experiments got failed.
They might have kept it in a safe locker David
said

But, how can you guarantee that they still have
those documents with them? Sarah was
confused.
University is very precise about their research
activities. They document each and every minute
studies conducted on their patent work. David
explained
They have a separate locker where they keep all
those research documents on the studies which
were unsuccessful.
My last experiment on Cinzor virus was
unsuccessful. I had submitted all its researchdocuments to the University. They kept it in a
secret locker.
So lets go and take all the Yotesmos research
documents Sarah rushed
Its password protected David said
Motherly shit Sarah wooed.
Is there a back door? Sarah asked
Hitesh Nambiar

They lock it using multiple passwords David
said
Taxi reaches St Andrews University check in
gate.
Multiple Passwords? Sarah said
Shut up, lets clear this security check Davidsaid and walked out of the car.
Sarah dumped her gun in that taxi and followed
David.
Soon they were walking inside the University
campus.
Chapter 7
What multiple passwords, tell me clearly
Sarah pleaded.

Why are you so interested in this matter?
David said in frustration.
I am paid to do this job Sarah answered.
Hamm Every shelf is protected with multiple
passwords i.e. the password of security
personnel and the person who is opening theshelf should enter his secret code given by the
University, The combination of both will only
open the shelf David replied.
Thus University can keep track of each and
every changes happening to the documents.
David placed his thumb on the check in
machine.
Welcome to St Andrews University David Ken
an automated voice answered.
He buzzed through the door and walked through
the hallway to reach the elevator.
Sarah followed him.

Straight in front of them was a board which

still managed to avoid any suspicion.
''Hey Samuel'' David said while wiping his
sweat.

Darling you wait outside David said in a soft
voice.
Mr. X will give you a call She hissed in his
ears and gave a small bite.
''Be fast or we will be late for the lunch'' Sarah
said and gave a girlish wave.
Chapter 8
David was really nervous; he was sweating all
over his body.
He walked inside the room. Room had nearly to
a 1000 shelves. Each had a unique ID number

Mr. X calling Davids cell phone starts
vibrating.
''Can I answer a call from here'' David
requested
''Ok, Not a problem Sir'' Samuel said
Let me know once you are done'' Samuel
looked back while walking towards another
shelves.
''Samuel, give me a minute'' David said
''David, my son you made it''
David dint answer. He knew he was in a big
danger.
Get the documents, go to the parking slot.
Handle that to Sarah then your mom andbrother are free to go. She would be waiting in a

Chapter 9
Here is your file Samuel said.
David quickly took the file and holds it tightly to
his chest.
Thank You Sir! Have a nice day Samuel saidand gave a smile.
David didnt return a smile.
He ran quickly down the corridor to reach the
Parking slot. Door with the name plate
Parking ahead opened with a sound of latchand he was into a big underground hall full of
sealed tube lights and dusty walls.
Hall was deserted except the humming sound of
generators. He started looking for the Black CA
-4451 Ford Car.

Parking slot had a maximum of SUVs with
some sleazy BMWs and AUDI cars.
Davids eyeballs started moving faster than his
legs.
He marked a Black Ford. He took a fast step
towards the car. He checked for Sarah insidebut it was too dark to see something. He looked
for the Name plate CA -4451.
Where the hell is Sarah then David thought in
mind.
He opened the car door.
He was shocked to see Sarah lying on the seat
with blood all over her body.
He moves back in a shock.
Someone must have shot on her head Davidsaid to himself.
He hears a sound of a phone ringing from the
car.
He moves towards the car.

He searches for the phone in the car.
He makes her sit straight from her tilted position
and takes the phone from her pocket.
Richard Jack calling
David opened his eyes again to confirm it was
the University head Richard Jack calling Sarah,
the serial killer.
David was in a thought of pressing the green
button but the call gets disconnected.
David checks the messages.
Two messages.
Both were from Richard Jack.
Thats gr8, go and wait in the parking slot till
he comes.
He reads the second message.
Kill David as soon as he passes you the
documents and give me a call.

David was shocked to read this message from
Richard Jack, the man he respected.
David lighted a cigarette. He took a strong puff.
He had no clue why Richard wanted Yotesmos
research documents. His research documents
were already banned due to deaths of some lab
assistants. In fact Richard hated Yotesmo. Heused to humiliate him in front of others.
Yotesmo wanted patent of Cinzor antivirus but
as per University rule, patent for a research
carried in the University were not allowed for
the scientists. So he agreed to work under that
project with a guarantee that University willshare half of patent money with him.
Yotesmo finishes the research and finds a cure
for the spreading Cinzor virus. He presents his
documents in front of Richard.
Richard knew Yotesmos agreements with the
board. He knew Yotesmo would get rich once
this is published.
So he kills the lab assistants and claims
Yotesmos experiments were the reason.

Yotesmos documents get rejected and he moves
it to the Safe Security.
A vibrating sound from his pocket brought
David back to the situation. He flanged the
cigarette to the floor.
Mr. X calling
David picked the phone.
David
Yes Mr. X
Where is Sarah?
I dont know. I am still searching for her.
Call disconnected
I am goanna kill this bastard David said in
anger.
David kept the document on the drivers seat
and moves Sarah to the back seat.
David starts the engine.

A man comes in front of his car with a gun
pointing at him.
Stop the car boy Richard said while moving
towards him.
You dont want your mom and brother alive I
guess Richard said while opening the car door.
Give me the documents Richard ordered.
You killed Yotesmo for this? David said while
holding the documents tight.
Give me the documents or I will pop your head
out Richard said in a harsh voice.
I know you goanna kill me like you killed
Sarah.
I am goanna make a lot of money with these
documents Richard said while holding his gun
on Davids head.
You were using me David said in a soft tone.
Sound of a Gunshot
David was lying with a gunshot on his head.

Chapter 10
Richard rushed to his car. He started his engine
and steered to the exit.
Richard executed everything as per the plan.
Situation was like a clean chit to him from
killing of Yotesmo to David.
He was driving with a dream of becoming a
millionaire, the fame he goanna get by
publishing the documents.
Richard stopped the car in a deserted place.
He broke the seal of the file and opened the
documents.

smile on his face.
Not yet, Mr. X a voice came from back of his
car.
Who the hell are you Richard said and looked
back.
He was shocked to see the person sitting in the
back.
He was wearing a black coat and a black hat.
Yotesmo you were dead Richard said in ashock.
You planned everything perfect, you kept a
bomb in my car but failed to verify that I was the
person sitting in the car, it was my driver who
was found burned in that car.

while pointing the gun to Richards head.
Dont kill me, Let me be your partner, I mean

Ha-ha Yotesmo gave an approving smile andpulled the trigger.
