The greed

It is a dark mid night. In this country side usually people sleep earlier. They are normally tired of the work in their field and feeding cattle and caring their children as well. Trees are silent and so silent are the fields of crop. No birds are tweeting no any activity in houses. No sounds of music from casinos and rush in the street. Silence rules this country side with only crickets making some noise perhaps signalling that still life exists here. Just in the middle of night and silence spread in every street of this village a silhouette appears from the middle of the fields. It is certainly shadow of a well-built man. Mouth is hidden behind mask. He is walking very fast towards the village. Un noticed and with steps put rather carefully that no sound is made. He is proceeding toward the village. At the corner where many streets meet he stands and takes out a piece of paper from his pocket and tries to see it in the deep dark he slips towards the street light. Sees the paper and keeps in his pocket without folding it. He reaches a house. Puts his ear to the door. No sound from inside. He looks into his other pocket. Takes out a bunch of keys. Inserts one by one and finally door opens. He opens it quite silently and finds whole family sleeping. He opens the cover one by one and finally finds his target. He takes out his silencer gun and shoots the man in head. No cry no any shit of voice. He keeps his gun inside and comes out silently, locks the door back and escapes the same way he comes.

Nest day morning the Simons family is siting with their hands on their head, eyes filled with tears. And the neighbours coming one by one and consoling. This a fist case of such incident in this village. The villagers are surprised. The know semen’s was a good man. Very enterprising and pleasing personality absolutely no enmity or tussle with any one. No one understands as why he is killed so murderously. His children are numb their tears dried and often looking at the coffin. They are waiting for the cops to arrive from the city before the final ritual.

Michael and Carolina are one of the intelligent and witty cops. They are known for their success in almost all the cases they take in hand. They are seen with great respect in their department. Michael wears a blue jeans and brown t shirt and Carolina wears a black jeans and white shirt. Michael is always putting his hands in his back pockets often chewing a gum. But Carolina hates chewing gums and prefers to take toffees; both have big pockets in the pants and keep all necessary items required for chasing criminals.

Michael and Carolina reached in the same red coloured car they usually preferred. Michael enters the room and after consoling the family of the deceased he opens the face of the person. The bullet is pierced into head. He asks for ambulance and takes the body for forensic test. Carolina is sitting with the family members and consoling them and assuring the criminal will soon be in front of you. She asks some questions from the wife of the deceased and finds that he was a person liked by everyone and has no enemy in the village. Michael is looking the house and finds everything in place. He understands the murderer has come from the door and perhaps having a bunch of keys. He tries to find some evidence but except a torn piece of paper he finds nothing. Hmm Carolina this seems like shooting a bird in the dark. What do think? Carolina says well you are expert you know how to shoot a bird in the deep dark. Michael says you are stupid. Off course I am stupid but you are older than me am I right says Carolina smilingly. Michael says idiot: silently and asked her to leave now. Michael and Carolina like each other but when they talk it seems they are old enemies.

Michael is looking at the bullet and whistling Carolina thought Michael has found the clue she asks him your whistle makes me think. Have you seen the criminal’s face in the bullet? Michael says almost. And he opens the piece of paper. It is the same paper the criminal saw before entering the house. Michael and Carolina both are seeing this paper. It is nothing but some sort of rough drawing and written some number on it. Michael thinks this must be the address of the person. He looks towards Carolina and Carolina says that means the murderer is not aware of Simons. It means he was a contract killer. You are right and the murderer was poor enough as his guns barrel is slightly tilted. See this bullet it is not in ordinary shape. It seems the bullet came rubbing the barrels walls.

So what do you think now asks Carolina to Michael.

Well my mind is filled with cows shit I want you to tell something about this case. Carolina looking at Michael smiles and says pretty early you knew about your mind. I feel it is empty and only skull is there on your head. Michael stares at her and says ok Caro if you have some clue come on. We want to start the investigation immediately. You next week we have to submit the report. Yes I know and what I feel Michael though the killer is hired one but it seems someone in the village might have hired him. We should go to the village and try to find out some clue. You are right Carolina the main person is in the village but finding him is difficult as you might have noticed that whole village was present there at the home of the deceased and no one looked as if he is happy. But I am sure one of them is responsible. But before going to the village I want to find out the owner of this defective gun.

Michael and Carolina are in the market they are in full make up and Michael is looking an aged man, Carolina is acting his daughter. After stopping their car to some distance, they are on a gun repairing shop and asking whether he can repair their gun, it barrel is bent and we want it to make straight. The shop owner denies that he has not such facilities at his shop but he is telling them that after few shops there is one shop who works on barrels and he can do this thing. Both in the new garb are standing on the shop and asking the shop owner the same question. He says ok you have to leave your gun to us for some time. They are about to return that one person comes with the same defect in his gun. Michael looks at him through the dark glasses and takes out the bullet and asks the shop owner that, see after shooting the bullets are taking this shape. While he is talking to the shop owner his eyes are constantly on the new comer. The new comer after seeing the bullet little surprises and tries to see the Michael. But he thinks he may be a customer so tries to ignore him and shows his gun to the shop owner.

Michael and Carolina both read his face and they find that he is in hurry after seeing the bullet. They ignore him and return to their car. But their eyes are constantly on the person. He takes his blue car and after seeing left and right and other sides he starts his car. Michael and Carolina follow him. They find that he is going to a police station. Michael stops his car and sends Carolina inside to take some information about the person. It is to Carolina’s surprise the man proves to be inspector in the police department. She comes back and informs Michael about the story of that person. She tells his name is Tony and he is inspector in charge of this police station. Michael is surprised and thinks a police can do such thing, his mind says perhaps we are at the wrong place. But an idea comes to his mind he takes out the torn paper from his pocket and tries to go inside but it is luck that Tony is coming out, just in the middle of the gate he collides with Tony. He begs pardon and says old age is a curse I am not able to see properly. My friend! Please read this paper, and tell me what is written out there. Tony sees the paper and bit surprised but as he is a police in hard tone he says look old man you have picked some paper where nothing is written. Please get away of my side and get lost. Yes my son I am lost that’s why I am asking to read this paper. Fuck off your paper and leave me bloody oldie son of bitch. Tony pushes him and goes out to his car straight forward.

When Michael returns he tells Carolina that this man seems a tough guy. What do you think whether he is behind this killing? I feel a needle of suspicion but not sure perhaps the shop owner may tell some more information.

This time Michael is in his usual dress and his hands behind in the pockets and Carolina is also in her original uniform. Michael and Carolina go to the shop again this time as cops and after showing their identity cards they are asking about a gun which is having its barrel little deformed. The shop keeper informs them that just now two persons came here, I do not know about the first one but the second one had come sometime before and I tried to repair his gun. He informed me that this gun had come under a heavy vehicle and needs to be repaired. I repaired his gun but it was in very bad shape. Today he came to complain about the gun and asked to repair it again.

Michael and Carolina feel that this man may be behind the killing but they cannot touch a police inspector without a solid proof. They checked the paper but there were no signs of any finger print, perhaps he was in gloves. Carolina is scratching her head and asks Michael to go to nearby hotel and have some coffee.

Michael is well known in police circles and while sipping his coffee he finds that Tony is also sitting there and taking wine with one of the known contract killers of the city. This man is so clever he never leaves any evidence and he is going scot free. Michael and Carolina while sipping coffee notice that the other person is giving a full packet of dollars to Tony. Tony observes the presence of Michael and Carolina and immediately hides the money. His mood is little disturbed. He knows that the case in the village is in the hands of Michael and Carolina.

He immediately leaves from the scene and dis appears in the car.

Michael takes a long breath and looks at his partner Carolina. Carolina is smiling and saying Michael you are a fool. You could have made lot of money having contact with this contract killer and we might have settled up to now. Carolina loved Michael and they had decided to be one for the whole life, but their work is so hectic they don’t find time for such things.

Michael says: what now. Carolina says today evening we are in the village perhaps we may get some clue there.

Sun is about to set and darkness is spreading slowly, Michael and Carolina are nearing the village. But to their surprise they find that Tony is returning from the village. Carolina looks at Michael and Michael says though his eyes that I understand. They want to stop Tony but Carolina objects to it saying it will be too early. Straight away they are going to the house of the deceased to know more about him. When Carolina asks his wife about any possible enemy or any other reason behind this killing she only says that some time before my husband told me that he might be in danger, but when I tried to know he did not said anything. Well sister how much land you have and whose land is touching your lands. Is there any one feeling inconvenient due to your fields? We have plenty of land and touching to our land it is Nelsons fields. We feel that he sometimes gets irritated with the land we possess and I feel he had some bad eye on our fields. But he never told anything and behaves as friend. Even during funeral he was present and trying to console me. Carolina says ok sister don’t worry nothing will happen to your land. Michael listening to the whole conversation asks Carolina to go from here. They say good bye and return to their car.

Michael asks Carolina to go to Nelson’s home as Carolina is driving the Car.

Nelson is sitting in his home and preparing for the dinner. His table is full with different cuisines and it seems it is a dinner party. Seeing Michael and Carolina he is little surprised but controlling his emotions he welcomes them. Michel and Carolina beg pardon for disturbing him at the dinner and say we want to know just few things then we are leaving. Nelson welcomes them and says yes I am always ready to help my late friend. He was really a nice person and just few days back he had written his will that in my absence only Nelson will look after his fields. This surprised both Carolina and Michael.

So you will cultivate in his fields yes off course it is his final will and he shows the will signed and stamped. Michael asks whether his wife and children know about it. Oh no they are in shock and I don’t want to disturb them. Ok friend Nelson that is enough now we will take leave of you. Nelson insisted of coffee but it was too dark and Michael and Carolina had to return.

While returning they again see Tony coming to the village, they think he might have forgotten something and going back to the village. So they speeded their car and reach to their house. Normally Michael and Carolina were staying together though her father always insisted to return home after the duty hours.

Michael opens his eyes and asks Carolina to prepare coffee. In the meantime as per his habit he sees the newspaper and to his surprise there is another murder in the same village and this time it
