Chapter 160 - Your Deadline Ends Tomorrow (2/2)

***

I glanced at Carl as I tapped my fingers on the armrest. We were sitting in the living room. Very reluctantly I had detached myself from Innaya once she had stopped crying and whimpering. Handling things before she woke up was the best choice.

”Your time limit is up,” I commented, caressing Fortune. Fortune had jumped on the sofa beside me once I had taken my place. His inquisitive eyes would time and again glance around as if searching for my wife.

”I'm done with the work too, Mr. Eshan. Here is what we have found. Everything has been wiped out from Mr. Rey's laptop, mobile and his house. He doesn't have anything to hold against you,” Carl answered, forwarding me a black file.

”Are you sure?” I asked just to make confirm that nothing was left behind. I would hate it if something went wrong because of him.

”One hundred percent.” Carl confidently nodded.

I nodded in satisfaction after I went through his findings and the work he did. ”Good job. Continue monitoring him, and take actions if he crossed the line.”

”Yes, sir.”

”What about that man on the beach?” I looked in his eyes. Even after a week, I couldn't forget that man. I wanted to know more about him.

”Yes, sir. We found about him,” Carl replied.

My eyes narrowed down. Thankfully, they found about him. I could finally have answers about my worries.

”He was the local ruffian. He was arrested by the police three days ago. The details are in this file.”

Ruffian? My heart skipped a beat. I literally snatched the file from his hand.

”It's his strategy. He scares off people with horror and scary voices and then rob them,” Carl explained what I was reading.

I had not expected that outcome honestly. It was a good and bad finding. Good for the reason that he was not someone following us for some animosity. Bad because things could have gone in a very wrong way had things taken an ugly turn that day.

However, why even after reading the details and knowing that the man was behind the bar, my heart wasn't accepting it?

I kept having the feeling that something was missing. That day, the feelings I got after looking at that guy, weren't letting my mind to feel at ease.

Maybe, I was overthinking. I hoped that it was that case only. I hoped that it was only my mind overthinking, and there was nothing more to it.
