Chapter 58 An attack ....on David..

Ben and Eva were on their way to Ben's friend Bob, and here David found a different clue,

he asked the watchman,

" Do you know where these are stored?

that man was agitated, he was not able to speak...

David asked him again,

"don't worry, you'll be safe, I won't implicate you... just tell me the truth, "

he hesitated for a while and then said,

"Sir, it's not like I don't want to tell you but, this is a dangerous matter, I was told to keep it a secret and if it leaks, I would have to pay for it with my life",

David took out some money and kept it in his pocket, but he said,

"Sir, it's not about money, I don't want you to get involved"

David said,

" Yes it's not about money, it's about lives, so please tell me, I promise that I won't involve you, please..."

after listening t David, he finally spoke out,

" Sir I don't know who is behind this but, all the other medicines are kept in the storage room but this carton .., they ask me to keep it in the space under the stairs, I never saw them, but the one who did this before is dead now, "

he panicked, and then continued,

" Just because the carton went missing, he was killed, I can't be the same, so I hesitated, but sir if you do anything further, be careful, please..."

David was in serious thought, his mind was filled with the watchman's words.

The watchman rushed inside the storage room to replace the carton so that they won't punish him.

David said,

"you can calmly do your work, I won't disturb you, just make sure, no one knows that I heard something from you"

David left there, and that man finished his work normally.

David got a new clue, he was curious to find out the culprit, so he decided to hide himself to see the one who'll come to take the carton.

Ben took Eva to a pub, Eva frustrated, and said,

" How could you Ben, are you in a mood to drink now ?"

Ben casually replied,

" I would love to, but we are not here for that,"

Eva was confused,

" What do you mean by that?"

Ben said,

"you'll know when you get inside"

Ben went inside and she followed him, it was a big pub, there were so many people inside, some were drinking, some were dancing, ... but Ben went straight inside the pub, there was a room, and he knocked,

a voice answered from inside,

" come in"

Ben said,

" Eva, please wait here"

but Eva was not satisfied, she asked,

" Why should I ?"

" hoo... you are just unbelievable, can't you listen to me just once?"

he asked annoyingly,

Eva sat down on the seat outside the room, angrily.

Ben ignored her and went inside.

His friend Bob was sitting there, he was amazed to see Ben and asked,

"hey Ben it's been a while, how are you "

Ben said,

" hi... I am fine, Bob how's life?"

he stared at Ben strangely, and said,

" you never come here without any reason, now just come to the point"

Ben laughed, at him and kept that broken phone on his table, and said,

" Ben do you have a girlfriend now, "

Ben was surprised,

" and why would you say that?"

" hmm it's simple, no man will carry a girl's broken phone without any reason", Bob said.

Ben sighed, and said,

" just get to the point, can you fix it or not?"

Bob took the phone and looked around and said,

"it was smashed deliberately, so I don't think it could be reused...,"

Before he could complete it, Ben took the phone and was leaving,

" ok fine, just forget it..."

Bob shouted,

" hey, Ben let me complete,..."

Ben stopped, and Bob said,

" though it can't be repaired I can restore the data,"

Ben was excited now and asked him,

" can you... really?"

Bob said,

" I know we were not on good terms back in college but you came here for a reason, you can't find anyone who can fix it in the whole city, except me,"

Ben calmed down and asked,

" so let's talk business, what do you want in return?",

Eva was very curious about what is happening, inside the room, so she silently peeped from the door, Bob laughed, and said,

" hey, whoever that is please come in"

Ben sighed, and Eva was caught again because of her curiosity,

she came in...

Bob was amazed to see her,

"ooh...who is that? you are beautiful," he said,

Ben was frustrated, he hit the table and said,

" Bob, she is my fiance, so don't you dare utter a word",

Bob understood that he is so serious about her, and said,

" hey ... just calm down, I was a playboy in college but not now... come on people, change..."

" so what do you want in return Bob,"

Ben continued,

bob smiled and said,

" buy a drink, and I'll do it for you",

" ok fine, I will," said Ben.

The three of them went out together and Bob went to bring a drink, Ben was angry at Eva so they both kept silent, after a while, Bob came with a waiter along with him, who has a tray with two huge glasses of drinks,

Ben said seriously,

"you said to buy a drink, I didn't mean to drink here Bob, I need to drive"

Bob was already prepared for the rejection, he said

"I know, ... it's a fruit punch, it doesn't contain alcohol,"

Ben and Bob were talking, and in the meantime, Eva took the glass and drank, after finishing one, she said,

"hmm....it's good, ok Ben let me help you,"

she took the other glass and drank it too.

Bob and Ben were stunned, Bob laughed and said,

"ok ...so it's done, and I'll keep my promise,"

Ben and Eva stood up to leave the place, Bob said,

" I'll call you when I am done",

he came near Ben and whispered something in his ears, Ben was angry at him and tried to hit him but that was a friendly punch. Eva saw that but, couldn't hear, Ben grabbed her hand and left the pub...

Eva started feeling dizzy, and said,

"I think I am really tired right now, my head is spinning, I need to sleep, let's just go back",

Ben saw his watch and said,

" do you know what time it is now?"

she said,

" hmm, what is it?"

he said,

"half passed eleven, do you think, we should go to the hospital"

She started playing with her hair and didn't give attention to what he said, and asked him,

" What did Bob say when we were leaving?"

" That's nothing, he said that the fruit punch you just drank was alcoholic,"

Ben started laughing,

" oh..."

then after a second, she was shocked,

" What ...!!"

Ben continued,

" That was the reason, why I asked you to stay outside, but you.....!!"

he stopped talking when he saw her, playing with the keychain, her hair, and other things around. Ben found it very cute

he said quietly,

" It'll be twelve, when we reach there, I think your hostel doors will be closed, so let me take you to somewhere else, a safer place...."

she was not in her mind,

" hmm let's go to explore the world, soldiers, DHA... dha....",

Ben understood that she is completely drunk, so he took her to his house, a much safer place...

David was still waiting for the one that'll come to pick up the box, it was dark and quiet, no one around, he sat there patiently, after waiting for more than three hours, there was finally a sound, someone opened the door, David was eager to look at the face but... suddenly, someone hit on his head from the back and he passed out screaming.....

David crashed in the dark with a bloodstream from his head.....

who could be the culprit, who hit David, ...will he survive or....
