Allen ran his fingers through his hair, remembering how he first met David and understanding that he had never been this agitated at him or looked at him in such a stern manner gave him anxiety.His eyes wandered, now thinking for clues “The question here is how do I find this thief?” He muttered to himself, his eyes dim and cold, there were not many clues yet he thought to himself and called out to Stephanie, he was running out of time and he needed to check something as fast as he could.“Yes brother” she ran to him “I know I sent you away, I don’t want you involved in this, yet I need you to answer a few questions” Allen said still standing, his arms folded. “I’ll do anything I can to help, it’s also my fault he got away” she said, her eyes almost teary “It will be fine, just answer my questions calmly, okay” Allen said, his voice was softer.“What weapon did the thief yield?” He asked staring at her “I’m sure it was just the knife, when I pushed him, he wasn’t with another weapon

David’s eyes searched through the room, he wasn’t sure what he was looking for or what to look for, was it Allen? He thought to himself “Maybe I was too harsh with my words” David said looking out the window, the painting which hung on the side was somewhat misplaced.He placed his hands behind his back, “Whoever stole that safe has a lot on his plate, I’m sure” he muttered to himself, he also had work to do, he walked back to the seat behind his desk.“Who could have stolen the safe? I hope he finds it and quickly” David said adjusting his seat. He focused on the work on the desk in a way that it would distract him from the main issue at hand, he didn’t want to worry too much about the safe, judging from Allen’s determination, he will be able to find the thief, he thought to himself.“May I come in?” The solemn voice asked, instead of a knock, Mary would rather let the men hear her captivating voice “You may” David answered, his voice in distraught.“I see you haven’t been getting en

Allen’s home had felt empty all day with him gone, his sister had begun to worry, Stephanie kept moving from room to room in futile effort to find her brother.“Is my brother home yet?” She asked one of the maids “No not yet, my lady” the lady said, her eyes avoiding Stephanie “I’ve been trying to get to his mobile” she added, her eyes had become teary, “I hope he’s okay, wherever he is” her voice had become shaky.Then the doorbell had been rung, alarming Stephanie “Is that him?” She asked, hope in her voice “It was my fault that he went to look for the thief and till now, he’s not here, that may be him” her eyes with a gleam of hope as she bolted to the door.“Hello” The soothing voice said, the young woman’s face felt too beautiful for Stephanie after opening the door, she took a step back to see who it was but she wasn’t sure if she could recognize the face in front of her.“I’m your brother’s colleague, Mary Jane” she said, stretching her hands forward watching Stephanie’s eyes,

The metal walls would resound anything thrown at them, Mary could feel her hands tied as she struggled “You know tying my hands changes nothing” she said smiling, her face bruised and her skin slightly pale.“That’s why you have the collar on you” the voice emerged from the darkness, she couldn’t see but whoever talked to her could see her quite perfectly and would know her next move.“Huh…collar..arghh” she screamed, David walked calmly from the shadows, his face with disappointment “We have made technology restricting collars for every user, well except Ultimate, I wasn’t so sure as to who would betray our cause,” he said pacing around her in the shackles she had been put in.“You don’t understand,” She said, her voice having a hint of remorse “I did this for us, for all of us” she added looking at David’s cold gaze “You did this for your greed, what made you sure that Ultimate would be at the palm of your hands?” David asked laying low, putting a knee down so he could be at her lev

“I ran as soon as you called, what is it?” William asked “Please sit” he offered David, noticing that he too came running “Ultimate, that’s what’s happening” David answered, taking the glass of water in front of him and gulping it down. “What happened?” William asked once more, his voice was calm.Bringing out a set of documents “I had my private investigation on Ultimate’s system” David said “And here’s what I found” showing pictures that were taken in old times, the background was a mix of black and white, the dresses worn by the persons seated there were quite old fashioned.William took the picture “That’s Allen, where did your source find it?” He asked him looking puzzled “He’d rather not tell, I never ask him about his sources but when I did, he wouldn’t tell me,” David said his eyes were calm yet they showed signs of fear.“It dates back to the 1870s,” William said tracing his hands on the faces of the people in the picture “How would you know that?” I felt a strong hunch towar
