IT SEEMS THAT GUY WAS CORRECT.

"Hey what were you discussing, I was bored so I decided to play with these kids, they are very funny..."

I spoke as I look both Alice and Brian coming down and looking at me...

Alice looked at me with a surprised look, while Brian looked at me with a different emotion ls as he turned towards his men, who were looking at us with a smile...

And seeing that smile on their face the guy frowned and signaled them to take these kids inside...

Seeing that seriousness on their leader's face they quickly got down to business as they left those three alone.

"Hey, you didn't tell us whose kids they were.."

I asked with a calm and curious look on my face...

And hearing me Brian just looked at me for a while but then decided to answer...

"They are the kids of one of my men, his wife died in a shoot-out, so we are taking care of his kids on his behalf..."

He spoke and Alice narrowed her eyes as she looked at him with a suspicious gaze not believing his words, but I knew that he was telling the truth as I nodded my head...

"Kalam...."

The guy shouted and a person who looked in his mid-thirties came out from the room and stood in from of Brian with a submissive look on his face...

"He is one of the most loyal guys I have, he will take you to Akram so go with him..."

Brian said and both of us nodded our heads and let Kalam lead the way...

As we walked I curiously asked some questions to the guy...

"Kalam was it so you are his right hand right..."

I spoke as I looked at him and how I guessed this well it was simple he was one of those three whom I was talking about and that time the guy didn't even say anything and just rushed towards Brian's right side as if taking his rightful place there...

"Yes I am, but I don't care what you think about me remember it was because of the boss that I am taking you with me, if it was me I wouldn't even come close to you, cops..."

Hearing him Alice narrowed her eyes and I could tell that this guy wasn't much fond of cops on the contrary the way he looked at us anyone could tell that he hated them down to his core...

"So tell me those twins yours...."

Even then I continued to ask more questions and hearing me Kalam stopped at his feet as he turned towards me and looked at me with eyes filled with hatred and a little shock. While Alice just watched from the sidelines and didn't think to intervene, it was as if she was telling me that 'you took it upon yourself, I can't do anything about it'...

"How did you know that they were my kids..."

"Well It was just my suspicion but your answer declared me correct, Brian said their mother died in a shoot, and seeing that you were criminals, It won't take any intelligence to guess that it was a shoot out against you and cops..."

"And your anger clears it and besides when I was sitting on the chair talking with those kids no one was much tensed than you, so it was very easy..."

I said and he looked at me in disguise but I didn't mind as I was already immune to these things...

"Don't you dare ever lay your filthy hands on my kids ever again you detective...."

He spoke as I internally smiled at my gain today, I had gotten my hands into a very good piece of information... If ever needed I can use it in the future....

"Don't worry I won't do anything to them, I just asked it and that's all.... My curiosity took the better of me..."

I spoke as I raised my hand in the air showing that I was innocent.... And seeing that the guy just clicked his tongue and started to walk again without saying anything...

"You sure like to cause trouble don't you..."

"What do you mean, I just asked a simple question there.... It was he who acted so aggressively...."

I answered to Alice and she just looked at me with a suspicious gaze and just took a sigh with a defeated look on her face and started to walk with us with something in her mind....

...

After walking for a while we took a train and after a three-hour ride, we reached our destination...a city called Leeds...

Till the time we reached there, it was already night, so we got down to find a place to stay as we were told that Akram doesn't like to meet anyone at night, as it's his time to rest in his home.

So we were sent to a nearby hotel, to spend our night, here...

"What do you mean that there is only one room left..."

As we walked inside the hotel we were told to go towards the receptionist as we had a reservation in this hotel set by Kalam but it seems he didn't even give us separate rooms....

"Sorry ma'am there is just one room reserved in your name, you have to share the room..."

"No, I am not sharing my room with him, Aren't there more rooms in this hotel..."

Alice spoke as she looked at me with disguised and I just stood there thinking what wrong did I do to get this type of treatment...

"Sorry ma'am as you see this place is a tourist place so people have to make a reservation before coming here and this hotel is full of reservations, so I can't help you, Even if you go to another hotel they will tell you the same thing..."

She spoke as she looked at us with a calm look....and seeing that Alice couldn't do anything she just shook her head in defeat...

"Give me the keys... It's not like we can do anything about this..."

She spoke as she took a key card from the receptionist and both of us left for the floor we were allotted to...

As we got inside our room, I couldn't help but be a little bit amused by the fancy look of the room, the sofa and bed both looked very comfortable anyone can tell how much this place must have cost for one day too...

"I am going to get fresh you stay here don't even think of coming close to the bathroom..."

She spoke with an intense look in her eyes, I could tell if I said anything, she didn't want to hear she was just going to shoot me down... So I just nodded my head...

"Hey you always carry those books with you right government Detective, can you lend me some, I just want to read them..."

I spoke as she was leaving towards the bathroom, hearing me she turned around and looked at me with a suspicious gaze...

"Oh come on... It's not like I have anything to do here other than get bored..."

I cried to let her know how much bored I was...She looked at me with a different look on her face while it seemed she was thinking something. I could guess that something is related to me probably aur might be about the private talk she was doing before with Brian and my intuition says that there a topic of discussion was me...

But it's not like I care what they were talking about me after all they can't do anything to me, they are just not enough for me..... It's not overconfidence it's fact, I have examined her these days so I know all her pros and cons, and I don't even care about that guy named Brian...

Alice has the potential to be a great Detective..... But the thing which is stopping her is...her good well..... It's her main weakness... She thinks about others too much and that is what stops her from being a great detective....

"Very well it's inside my handbag take it from there but don't touch anything else other than that..."

After a little thinking, she said while pointing towards her bag and I thanked her for that with a smile...

And even if someday she manages to overcome it and break free from whatever it is which stopping her....

I would be there standing for her...

... And I will be the one who will crush her.....

It would be me who would show her how the real world works....

I thought to myself as I looked at her fading back but didn't let any emotions come to my face...

It seems that guy was correct about me...
