Shadows Of Grief

Chapter 18

It was early morning just after 8, Harry and I hardly had any sleep and now sitting in the hallway in silence again. Albus was the only name moving inside our heads. The fact which police had given by that letter some how shifted our minds at the auspicious side. Personally we both loved Albus' He

was the part of our family from a long time now, I couldn't remember us going out without him. He was always there like a brother to us and an uncle to Erika. Erika enjoyed his company too, but now maybe we were forced to saw him as a perpetrator. I was thinking too much about the past and the future and that reverie was broken by the buzz of doorbell. I looked through the door hole and saw officers and opened

the door.

''Good Morning'' George said

''Good morning''

''Sorry we are disturbing you too early but there's something you need to know..." Ben

said in a voice that really sounds 'I am really sorry to disturb'.

''No-no, it's all fine come on in. Would like some coffee?''

''Yeah that's what I'm here for.'' George said.

''Sure'' Ben said.

I told Harry about the officers who was not looking happy and sensed a bad news maybe. They all sat on the couch carrying some casual talks. I went with coffee & cookies and sat next to Harry.

''Thanks'' Both officers said.

''Where's the little girl?'' Ben asked.

''She is sleeping in her room'' I said.

''That's good''

''So now you're both here let me tell you about the situation so far.'' Ben said.

They told us about the plane, him not showing up and the phone. The more we heard the more disappointment hit us.

The look on Harry's face was strange, a mix of emotions ran on his face- sympathy, rage, sadness.

''Officer are you sure about all this?'' Harry asked sounding desperate.

''Yes, Mr. Roy we chased his phone for the long time and found it in truck it will be with us soon.'' Ben said.

Harry was hit, hit hard by the overwhelming emotions. He bowed his face down in a state of shock and betrayal.

''Mr. Roy, I know its not a good time but we need to know if you have any other contact of Albus. I mean any other number, address or anything helpful." Ben said.

''No, nothing he only has one humber and I don't know about any other address because I think he don't have one." Harry

said still face bowed down.

''OK...anyone he was meeting with, someone you don't know or him going out anywhere?" Ben said.

''No he always driver alone and spends most of the time in bank. He meets us in his leisure sometimes spends the night over but I can't remember anyone else.'' Harry said.

''You said something about drive. Does he have his own car?''

''Yes of course a Honda'' Harry replied.

Ben looked towards George little confused and shocked with Harry's car thing and said to his companion...

''We have not seen any Honda in that building when we parked our car there. Did we George?"

''No sir no Honda there.'' George replied.

"Do you have its numbers?" George asked sipping his coffee.

"I can't remember but I have the pics of the car let me check.'' Harry said changing his words into action. A couple of minutes after he found one.

''Here it is'' Harry said showing the image to officers.

"OK great send me this pic let's see where it leads." Both officers stood and Ben started walking.

''Can I take these?'' George asked pointing to cookies. ''You see that guy woke me up at 5.'' He said sardonically for his senior.

''Oh that's gross and yes you can have the cookies.'' I said.

''Thanks'' He said and ran with the cookies after his senior.I was worried for my family and very scared to thought what that heist would augur.
