Dangerous game

The next morning the door of Daniel Brooke's room was pushed open from the outside and Henry August walked inside the room. Daniel Brooke was sipping coffee sitting on the sofa. Henry August locked the door behind him and went towards him and greeted "Good morning Boss."

"Finally, you got time to show yourself."

He lifted his gaze and looked at Henry August with a smirk. He patted on the sofa and said "Come and sit here."

Henry August sat down on the sofa and said "Boss the photographs and video are authentic. They have not tampered."

Daniel Brooke tilted his head, looked at his assistant, and smiled slyly. His expression was sinister. Henry August swallowed hard to see such an expression of his Boss and a chillwave ran throughout his body causing his hairs to stand from head to toe. He thought how dangerous his Boss was. There was dead silence for a few moments inside the room. Daniel Brooke leaned back on the sofa and asked "What about Neil Green?"

"Neil Green used to work here in IBM. He went to the 'Y' city a few months ago. But no one knows where he is. As he was working in an IT company here, our men searched for him in almost all IT companies in the ‘Y’ city but they couldn't find him out. He is like a ghost, just disappearing in thin air as if he never existed in 'Y' city."

Daniel Brooke chuckled, shook his head, and sneered "Just disappeared? Like our mysterious man?"

Henry August was dumbfounded and thought, in this situation also his Boss knew how to joke. He was under house arrest, how could he live at ease? He shook his head helplessly. He could never understand his Boss. He was snatched back to reality by Daniel Brooke's next words "Talk to Anna Green. Maybe she knows where he worked in 'Y' city and also you find out when he left 'X' city."

Henry August was listening very carefully to his boss. He thought of something and asked him "Boss, why are you so interested in Neil Green?"

"You will know once you find him out."

Henry August cast a suspicious look at him. He was sure enough that his Boss was hiding something. Somehow he knew that his boss was not interested in Neil Green because of Lisa. There was something with this man that attracted his Boss. He nodded in realization and said, "I'll try my best."

"Did you prepare everything for the case?"

"Yes, Boss. Everything is ready."

"Is there any news of Albert Harrison?"

"Nowadays he is not partying with his friends and he is not seen in his friend's circles also."

Daniel Brooke frowned and shot a surprised look at him, narrowing his eyes. The shock was prominently visible on his face and he asked "What?"

He then thought, this was not normal and he shouldn’t take it lightly. The Senator might have been planning something or might be he had sent Albert somewhere else sneakily. After mulling it over in his mind, he continued speaking "Be careful. Keep your eyes and ears open. Maybe you are being followed by the people of Senator. You have to be more careful. Stop looking for Neil Green also as off now."

Henry August frowned deeply while staring at his boss, completely stunned. A shiver ran down through his spine and his hands started shaking in fear. He knew Senator Michael Harrison was very powerful and dangerous, but never feared him like this. When he heard his Boss's words he felt very nervous and anxious. He nodded and said, "I'll remember." He handed over the pen drive to Daniel Brooke and said "Then I'll take my leave."

"Hmm."

When He came out, he saw David Allen standing outside the room. David Allen locked the door from outside as soon as he came out of the room. He glanced at him and shook his head helplessly.

When he was about to leave, he heard David Allen asking "Why did Master Daniel go to 'Y' city all of a sudden?"

He stopped on the track and said without turning back "This is nothing to do with you."

David Allen walked around him, and said coldly "If it has nothing to do with me then Master Daniel will not have locked up here in his own house."

Henry August looked at David Allen coldly and said indifferently "You are overreacting."

"Overreacting? Your actions are suspicious and I am only trying to know the truth. Do you call this overreaction?"

Henry August chuckled and sneered "If you want to know so much then find it out by yourself. Don't bother me."

"I will."

"Good luck."

He left after saying this. But before he could go a few steps he heard David Allen's deep voice again "Wait."

He stopped and turned around to face him who was staring at him. His eyes were full of concern. Henry August couldn't help but ask him "What is the meaning of this look?"

"Do you have any idea how dangerous the game you are playing?"

Henry rolled his eyes and said "I can take care of myself. Thank you for your concern." He was about to leave but his arm was grabbed by David Allen and he heard him saying "Henry, you are my sister's only son. She can't live if anything happens to you."

Henry August turned around with a frown, brushed off his hand, and glared at him. David Allen continued speaking "You need to be very careful. If you see anything suspicious just call me. I am only one call away. Remember this."

Henry August shrugged in frustration and said angrily "I don't need your help and care." He turned around and left hurriedly immediately after saying this without giving David Allen any chance to respond. He stared at the leaving figure of Henry August and sighed helplessly.

Henry August drove away from the Brooke mansion. On the way, he was thinking about all the things that his Boss and David Allen told him. He became very restless and increased the speed of his car. He wanted to reach his house as soon as possible. After another few minutes of driving, he reached his apartment. He parked the car and rushed inside. But when he opened the door and entered the house, his eyes went wide in shock.

His house was in a mess. All the things were scattered in the living room. The sofa was turned over, all magazines, books, files were scattered on the floor. Even the kitchen was in mess. All the utensils were lying on the floor. The cupboard of the kitchen was wide open and things inside were also in mess. He ran to his bedroom only to see messy bedsheets and pillows on the ground. His cupboard was wide open and all his clothes were scattered on the ground. Henry August panicked and held his head with his hands. "What happened here?"

He looked around his room in shock and rubbed his chin in nervousness. He quickly regained his sense and dialed Daniel Brooke's number. The phone was connected quickly.

"Hello."

He hurriedly explained to Daniel Brooke "Boss, someone searched my home. My house is all in mess now. What should I do?"

"Come here immediately."

He rushed to the parking lot immediately after hanging up the call and drove to Brooke Mansion without delay. On the way, he sensed that one black sedan was following him. He glanced at the rearview mirror from time to time to confirm his doubt. Very soon he realized the car was indeed following him. He panicked and stepped on the accelerator to increase speed. The car behind him also increased the speed. He was taking left and right turns to get rid of the car but the car was still following him. He took a sharp left turn and drove at high speed. He was overtaking one after another car. He saw a big signal from afar. The green light will turn off within eight seconds. He increased his speed to cross the signal and just before one second left, he crossed the signal. He glanced at the rearview mirror and saw the car which was following him was stuck in the signal. He heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat beads from his forehead. He then drove quickly to the Brooke mansion.

Very soon he reached the Brooke mansion and rushed towards Daniel Brooke's room.
