Shadows Of Grief

Chapter 6

It's almost an hour and half since Harry had left. Erika still not had her snacks I could see plate lying in front of her door untouched. This was going to be a tough situation but having officer Ben at our side made me relax. I got a lot of information about the cope on internet he recently had

shot head of a mafia. I got stuck at one of the articles about him. It told about his personal life a single man, his wife and

daughter died in an accident and he didn't take it very well. Spent some time in rehab but his comeback was impressive solved hundreds of cases from there. The one thing about him was he never works on two cases simultaneously and that helped him solving many cases in few days that was a

big hope for us. I decided to check on Erika and I heard peals at door.

"Who's there?'' I asked standing almost 3 feet away from door.

''It's Harry'' I opened the door and saw Harry with Ben. ''How's Erika?'' Harry asked.

I knew he would have that question and I told him about the crying and snacks.

''Poor Girl she must be thinking of her friend.'' Harry said.

"Maybe'' I replied. "It's been long since you were out let me get you a coffee and what would you like to have officer.''

''Coffee would be Great...Thanks"

I could feel the pain in Harry's eyes the heist must be a big one but I decided to keep myself shut I wanted him to relax. I went upstairs to call Erika as I left coffee on stove but still she was crying and wanted to be alone.

''Sill upset, huh?" Ben asked.

''Yeah she is a spoiled girl.'' I replied.

''There's a few people out there who cries for a friend I mean she can meet her after the tragedy.'' Ben said.

''Yeah! but she is little sensitive and has only few friends and maybe she is afraid of losing one.'' I said

''Probably'' Ben said. I handed coffee to both. They were sitting on a couch and

officer wanted to said something. He began after a sip... ''So Albus do you know him well I mean considering the circumstances...''

''No-no officer I told you he is a good man. He's like a little brother to me and this holidays you are talking about he had

told me about them like a month ago its about her sister's marriage.'' Harry said.

I didn't know why they were having that conversation but I knew Albus he truly was a brother for Harry. He visited us regularly. ''Okk..so you know him well.'' Officer said to Harry. ''Very well'' Harry said.

There was a silence for a moment maybe cope was pondering something he looks suspicious about Albus but didn't ask

more. There was a call for officer his eyes glittered for a minute like he got a ray of hope.

''I need to go George found something maybe we will get through this soon.'' He said excitedly and left in a hurry.
