Go to Part I
He jumped the backyard wall and slowly walked ahead. The back door of kitchen was double locked so he went for the upside down sliding glass window and entered in. After stepping up the stairs for next few moments, he was in Emily’s bedroom.
Emily’s innocent face was reflecting the rays of mast lights diffracted through the glass wall of balcony. He got nearer to her, pulled the knife out and raised it in air.
“I won’t leave her…” Sound played in the ambience. “She wasted my life. Now she has to pay for her deeds. She too got to reach where her sister is. I won’t leave her.”
The lights turned on.
“Hold on Kurt…” Derick entered in the room.
Emily opened her eyes. Henry and Alfred came out from the behind.
“What the…” Kurt shocked looking at them.
“Hell…” Henry finished his sentence. “Is straight ahead for you now…”
“Drop that knife Kurt.” Derick said. “Game is over.”
“Uncle…” Emily said. “I know him…”
“Yes, you do.” Derick replied. “Kurt was one of the prime suspects in the Edison Bank Scam and you had turned him to culprit from the suspect. You had just started your law practice that time and were requiring few successful cases in your account. This hunger for success made you pursue a mistake. Without researching the case enough, you proved Kurt guilty in the court being unaware that he is innocent. Your career boosted with your success but Kurt’s life became hell. He lost his social respect, jailed for six years, and then returned for vengeance.”
Kurt dropped the knife, stood frozen.
“The thing humming in my mind was why anyone would kill Elvira?” Derick continued again. “There was no reason for that. She had no enemy but while reading the letter she left for you, I realize she gave her life to save yours. She had the premonition of death and to save your life, she asked you to get the tranquilizer in spite of she had it.”
Emily started falling droplets from the eyes.
“After reading that letter, I gone through all your cases and laid emphasis on the ones who are free now.” Derick kept saying. “I found three cases and one of them was Kurt. After studying his case in detail I concluded he was innocent and therefore he had a reason, a motive to kill you. I searched and found him with help of Alfred. The recording is what he was sharing rather confessing with his old friend in the bar but I knew he’ll come back again and found it better to catch him red handed. He had come to kill you Emily, but your sister Elvira saved your life by sacrificing her. You did a mistake of proving Kurt guilty in the court and Elvira summed up that by forcing Kurt to do another mistake of killing her.”
“You are under arrest Kurt.” Alfred came forward.
“I am responsible for sis…” Emily broke in to tears.
“You aren’t Emily, its destiny.” Derick wiped out her tears remembering what Elvira has said. “We can see the future but can’t change it. Whatever is going to happen will happen for sure…”
