Shadows Of Grief

Chapter 14

Harry was left stranded by the officer. A few minutes ago it was his bank, his diamonds, his fame and now its his brother on the line too. Harry still not convinced about Albus and maybe I was with him too. Erika once again isolated herself in her room didn't no because of sleep or crying. I sat beside Harry holding his hand and he leaned over my shoulder.

"Don't worry Harry everything will be fine again.'' He was so busy in his thoughts that I felt he barely listened me.

''Let's go and have some rest you need it.''I said forcing him to on his feet'

''Come on be brave.''

"Ok'' He said.

I was very hungry and ran directly towards kitchen to get something. While munching some nachos I thought of Karl. We worked together for almost 5 years. It was him who gotbme out those aghast years when I just sat down on chair for days and cried on my wife and daughter's demise. I blamed myself for it and maybe deep down I still do. An accident which occurred because my wife was not very good driver at night, an accident which occurred because I denied to go with them. Those days were the hardest and it could be worst if Karl didn't show up. He was there with me everytime and he made me realised it was a misfortune. He forced me to leave the chair and decided to bring me back in life. Although his methods were not that great he believed 'booze' can do anything. I hope it was the only solution for him to every question ostensibly it worked for me too. He bought me back from that eccentric phase. I enjoyed his company and really missed him when he left for California 2 years ago. I really respect that man he was the best at what he did and now I knew Albus was not

that far from me. I decided to ponder on the heist with a glass of bourbon, all the facts was pictured in my mind and Albus perfectly fit in that but the only question running in my mind was ''Did he really change his clothes and got the diamonds and then

change again all just in 2 minutes?' I didn't know when I felt asleep amid finding the answer.
