“We never have weekends Henry.” Derick replied with his heavy voice. “Some jobs aren’t time lined and we should respect that thing. Doctors, Fire fighters, Police all are sort of…” By the time his cell rang.
“Mr. Jefferson…” A girl was there another side.
“Elvira…” Derick identified her voice vacillating. “You seem tensed.”
“I just had a premonition Mr. Jefferson.” She said reluctantly. “I had seen my death.”
“What…?” Derick couldn’t believed his ears. “Elvira…”
“I know it’s difficult to hear what I’m saying.” She said. “But someone gonna kill me tonight. I had seen my death in front of my eyes, my last premonition ever…”
“Don’t panic Elvira.” Derick said. “We have just left from Rostock so will be there tomorrow morning but I’m calling Alfred. He’ll be there in moments. Nothing to worry…”
“Mr. Jefferson...” She replied. “We can see the future but can’t change it. Whatever is going to happen will happen for sure. Just promise me that you won’t let my assassin run away.”
“Elvira, don’t talk rubbish. Nothing is going to happen to you.” Derick accelerated while saying it. “Are you there? Elvira… Damn.” Call had been disconnected.
“Speed up Henry.” Derick said while dialing to Alfred. “Elvira is never wrong in her Premonitions but I just wish today’s she is mistaken.”
“We are late.” Derick murmured while entering inside Elvira’s dwelling. It was the morning of next day. Alfred, along with other cops, was busy in tracking the traces. “Bloody weekends, I just wish we haven’t been to Rostock.” Derick left a sigh.
“Uncle…” Emily, Elvira’s younger sister, rushed to Derick with wet eyes.
Derick couldn’t say anything to her. After death of his friend Varner, these both angels are more like his own daughters. He too sensed his eyelashes wet.
“I had reached within minutes to call of Mr. Jefferson but…” Alfred came forward to Henry.
In the bedroom, Elvira’s dead body laid on the bed. Her flawless face, at the age of 27, was still shining and insightful.
“It’s bedroom of Emily…” Henry said. “Isn’t it?”
“Yes.” Alfred replied shortly.
“Emily…” Derick said while wiping out her tears. “Tell me what had happened? It’s for her justice. You ought to be strong being a law practitioner, for the sake of law, for your sis Elvira...”
“Late night…” Emily took a sob and said. “Sis came in my room and asked for sedative. I wonder I couldn’t found it in home so went to the 24x7 medical shop of Bayerstrabe and returned within half an hour. She said she’ll be waiting for me here but when I returned...” Her eyes started raining again. “She had left this letter for me under the same sedative strip on my desk. She had intentionally asked me to left home.” She gave the letter to Derick.
Derick unfold it.
“Emily,
I know you would be crying while reading this. Trust me I had no other option but to cheat you. Death is unavoidable but mistakes are. There are times when you have to pay for your mistakes, sometimes for others. Please take good care of yours as I won’t be with you over again. Love…
- Elvira.”
“Mr. Jefferson…” Alfred came along with Henry. “If you need statements…”
“Not needed…” Derick said. “We don’t have a clue this time. Elvira neither had such property nor did she have any enemy too. Why someone would kill her? Some questions are beyond premonition but I have promised her that I won’t let her murderer run away.” His words got the anger and pain. “And I promise… I’ll keep my promise.”
