Plan

Kraig - good evening uncle.

Gavin - hey Kraig and Ray. How are you? Is everything alright? You came to my house at this hour.

Reyan - everything is good uncle. We have something for you, that might help you in this case.

Gavin - Ray I told you not to meddle in this case. But let it be, show me what you have in your hands.

Reyan - today we met Shruti, she's the best friend of Pia, the girl who died in our school.

She told us everything about Pia and about a man named Sam who was stalking her. Her guess is that man can be the culprit and so do I.

She gave a video that she recorder of her friend meeting that guy.

Gavin - that's a huge help you both did to us. Let's just watch the video.

The trio watched the whole video. Hey hey hey stop the video, stop stop. Suddenly Ray asked them to pause the video.

Kraig - what happened Ray?? Is everything alright?? Did you see something unusual??

Reyan - Kraig just look at the hand of the Sam.

Kraig - what? What happened to his hand??

Gavin - his nails are painted with pink color nail paint. Why a man would paint his nails??

Kraig - yes yes his nails are painted. Ray do you remember we encountered a masked man and at that time you found a nail paint bottle.

Reyan - I guess both men are same. And in this video Sam met Pia near abandoned mansion. So he's the killer definitely.

Gavin - you both, what are you talking about?? What abandoned mansion, masked man, what, what are you saying??

Kraig told everything about that evening when they went to the mansion (Maiyong public school) just for fun, how they encountered a mask man and how he escaped and Ray found a nail paint bottle at the site. And in this video it is the very same mansion I and Ray went to. May be that day Sam wanted to kidnap Pia but because of Shruti his plan failed.

Gavin - you both are idiots or what??? How can you just wander in some abandoned mansion and what if you both got hurt by that man?

Do you even have any idea what would have happened to you both??

Reyan - sorry uncle, we just went for some fun. It was a by chance encounter and we are not harmed by him. We won't act rashly next time.

Gavin - OK ok since you both are safe then I'm letting this matter off. Otherwise I would have given a nice beating to you both.

We won't do anything from next time both boys said in unison.

Reyan - uncle if both men are same I'm mean both men is Sam then we have to catch him as early as possible because he might harm Shruti.

Gavin - you are right Ray. I'll discuss this matter with my team and then let you know.

Reyan - uncle I have an idea.

Gavin - OK let's just hear out your idea.

Reyan - it's a little bit risky but it may help us a lot. We can ask Shruti to ask that guy to meet her and we all will be hiding there and when Sam will come to Shruti you can catch hold of him and detain him. Because we do have proof against him so he won't be able to deny that he didn't do anything to Pia.

Gavin - Reyan it's too risky. What if Shruti gets hurt then we are one to be blamed and why Sam will come to meet Shruti??

Reyan - we'll threaten Sam through Shruti.

Shurti will message him saying that I have proof that you hurt my best friend Pia. We'll ask Shruti to say some few words regarding that day like, you were wearing black hoodie and covered your face with mask and if you don't come to meet me, then I'll just hand over this video to police, and then you'll have to answer the police about your actions.

Gavin - that's a good idea but I'm still concern about her safety.

Kraig - hmmm. OK then I'll dress up as a girl what do you say? Because Sam has never seen Shruti and we'll ask Shruti to not to disclose her picture or her name, and we can ask her to send messages from a fake id.

Gavin - OK then I'll discuss with my team about this and let you know tomorrow but are you sure that he will come??

Kraig - let's just give it a shot. After knowing that some one is having a video of him harassing a girl he'll definitely feel threatened. And he will try his best to get that video or try to wipe out that person along with evidence. Right?

Gavin - that do make sense. Anyway it's getting late both of you should go back to your house safely but first let's just have dinner.

After dinner, Gavin asked them to inform him that they reached their homes safely l. Gavin patted Reyan's shoulder and sent them off.

On the way to their house Kraig asked Reyan.

Kraig - Ray, do you think Shurti will help us??

You know she almost rejected us when we were asking about Pia.

Reyan - I guess she'll help us. Let's go to her in the lunch break tomorrow and ask her about this. We also have to wait for uncle's order, after that only we all can act. And we gave our words to uncle so we can't act on our own.

And we also don't know if Sam is still using his id, will he reply or not, or how many days he'll take to reply us.

Kraig - yeah you are right. Let's just hope for the best and we are trying to help as much as possible, so everything will be fine. But we forgot to ask about the pictures of Sam.

Reyan - yeah let's just ask Shruti about it tomorrow. OK Kraig bye, inform me when you reach your home.

Kraig - bye Reyan.

At home

Reyan texted Kraig and Gavin that he reached home. Kraig also did the same. They wished good night to each other.

Reyan was alone in the house thinking about his whole day and his granny. She still didn't wake up. He doesn't know how long will she take to wake up, he was eager to know who did this cruel thing to his granny. He dozed off after thinking all these things.
