Shadows Of Grief

Chapter 10

13 JUNE, THURSDAY 9:13 pm

Between this hard time we managed to ate something. There was silence in the hall, Harry was sitting on the couch with eyes closed maybe praying and Erika was on the chair. She still looked horrified with this turn of events which was quite normal for a small girl. The cop had not called yet and I was wondering about the clue he said his assistant had found. This silence was frightening me I had never seen such atmosphere in this house. Everyone was sitting apart face down and roaming in one's thoughts. That silence was broken by a call on Harry's cell.

''Hello Inspector'' Harry said and again there's silence for few seconds. Harry hung up the phone and held his head with both hands. I could see disappointment all over him.

"What happen?" I asked.

''The cops are on their way they need to talk about Albus.'' Harry said in a broken tone.

This was bad and different because now it was emotional damage not financial it was much harder to handle. 'It's not easy for him to see his little brother being dragged in this game.'

*******

That 'A' was a clean evidence. It seemed all clear with Albus on the heist. That could not be a big trouble for him he knew the passwords he knew about CCTV and he knew how much that safe worth. Rachel was not that convinced she believed what Mr. Roy had said about Albus but that's what Rachel was she trust others easily. She wanted me not to put all my hopes on it. So I gave her permission to track the activities of every insider of bank until we didn't conclude anything. She liked to create her own leads and I believed in following the one we got and here this Albus had given us one. I wanted to know about him as much as I could before meeting him. I worked on the things I needed to ask from Mr. Roy but it's not going to be that easy. I knew it would be difficult for Harry to believe all this but Albus was the only plausible explanation. I held my breathe for a moment before pressing the door bell and finally pressed one.

''Mr. Roy'' I said shaking his trembling hand firmly.

''Come on in.'' He said.

Mrs. Roy was sitting with her daughter who was not looking very well. Little frightened, little scared in one word pitiful.

"Mrs. Roy may I get some water it's been long since I had some." she looked towards me ''Oh sorry I didn't see you.'' She said.

''Are you okay there little girl?'' I asked.

Erika nodded I realised she was definitely not in the mood of talking. Amy handed me a glass of water.

"Thank you " I said.

''Your welcome''

''Look Mr. Roy I know the things which I am going to say...''

''Albus can't rob'' He said not letting me complete my words. The moment he said that I concluded it's going to be more tough than I expected. I calmed myself down first and prepared for some tough talking

''Mr. Roy calm yourself and listen to me carefully.''
