MURDER

"So, you are saying that you failed to find him and now he is dead and somehow the media got the whiff of it?" Carl banged his hands on the desk and furiously looked at his assistant, Shen. 

Shen hung his head and kept staring at the floor. He timidly said, "Yes, Boss." He gulped. 

He was frustrated and disheartened that he couldn't commit to his words. Previously, he had proudly declared how he would bring Steve back alive and make him pay for his sins. Shen felt depressed, he had few settlements left to do with Steve. He wanted to give Steve the pain and torture he deserved. 

"Weren't you too proud that day? What happened now? Where did your proudness vanish?" Carl yelled. He couldn't shake the fear that had started to devour his heart slowly. 

He still remembered the call he received, the same day Steve got admitted into the hospital.
