6. Fire in the eyes



No one could cheat James easily. It was evident in each case of James. “She’s crazy like a fool? What about Daddy cool”, it was the famous song from Boney-M, James’ phone was ringing.

James picked his phone. A voice said, “James, this is Rudran”

“Hi Rudran, how are you? How is Chennai?”, queried James.

“Nothing is fine James. Dad has been murdered and the police are unable to move any further in this case”, said Rudran.

“Oh! My God! When did this happen? I am sorry Rudh. Was that because of the book that dad wrote?”, asked James.

James I need you with me. I am unable to think properly”, finished Rudran with some stuttering.

“I will be in Chennai tomorrow morning. Don’t worry”, said James.

Why should James come to Chennai from Bristol? James was Rudran’s schoolmate and classmate and they were very close pals from their Kindergarten.

James was an orphan with his parents dead in a car crash when he was in his class 6. From that time he lived with Rudran. DD adopted him as his son. After finishing their schooling Rudran and James picked up different subjects. James became a Detective and Rudran became an attorney. James shifted his base to Bristol and was not interested in marriage whereas Rudran was married and remained in Chennai.

James was shocked with the news that his dad was dead. He had no pending case which was in his favor to make a quick trip to Chennai. He bought his tickets to Chennai from the British airways, drove to the Heathrow Airport and left to Chennai. It was a ten hour journey in which the time was continuously increasing since he was travelling towards the east, as the time was increasing it soon became night. The darkness outside was in resemblance his mindset. He reached the Chennai International airport and immediately left to his home (Rudran’s home).

It was a majestic house but the home without DD was unimaginable by James. James entered the home and Rudran broke into tears as soon as he saw James, James started to cry too, after sometime James reconciled himself and tried to pacify Rudran.

James said, “Rudh. If we sit in our home and weep continuously then the murderer would move around the city casually killing a dozen people. We should show the fire in our eyes towards the murderer and not the tears in our eyes. We have to win the case for our dad”.

Rudran nodded still weeping.

James decided to meet the commissioner that day evening and get the case details. OOBT of James had to play an important role in solving the murder case of DD.

If James could not solve it, then who could solve it?
