Work of the devil - Season 1 - Episode 10

As soon as I had left the hotel’s premises, I noticed that Princess was sleepy.

In her sleepy state, she asked, “Where is mommy?”

“Mommy is not feeling fine and she needs to rest”

“Where are we going to uncle Linus?”
Another question? Oh God, I just needed her to be quiet now. If she keeps asking these questions, I would not find it easy going through with my plans. But somehow, I was OK that she was about to sleep. I had thought of drugging her to sleep like I had intended for her mom, but I decided against it. I couldn’t pull through with that thought. It will kill my heart. I knew I was doing what was wrong. But there are certain extents that I could only go. And nothing beyond such points.

“Sleep Princess. We are going to see mommy’s friend and buy medicine for mommy to take to get well”

I was expecting her to say “alright”. Well, I didn’t get that. She was snoring away already. That was good. I needed her to be quiet to do this work. And thankfully, I just got that now without having done anything against my conscience to make that happen.

As I walked, I felt strange. I felt that something bad was going to happen. I felt there was going to be a problem somewhere. I checked up the plans, they seemed perfect and intact. There seemed to be no loose end. And yet if any end needed to be checked, it would be the end regarding Princess’s rescue.

And so, I picked up my phone and called. After the first ring, there was no answer. I called again. Same thing. I began to sweat. To get agitated somehow. I needed to calm down.
Few minutes, say three minutes, a call came in. It was the number I had called. I picked up immediately.

“Hello..I had been calling..”
“Sorry, I had an issue with my phone. The phone’s screen was acting up. I could not pick the call by swiping the screen. But its alright now”

“Should I be worried about that?”
“Not at all boss man. We good”
I breathed deep, “You guys are ready right?”
“Sure”

“The package is with me. On my on way to deliver her. Be ready, I will notify you as soon as they begin to move”
“Alright boss”

I hung up and waved down a cab and told him where I was heading to and he drove off.
Few minutes, we got to the junction. I alighted and paid the cab man and walked towards the gate. I pressed the bell at the gate. The security man opened the little window like opening on the gate, and saw my face then he proceeded to let me in.

As I walked in, I could see the cars. There were about four cars. Two were jeeps- Mercedes Benz jeeps. A Toyota Camry and a Mercedes Benz 4matic.

I walked in with Princess, still sleeping. She is a heavy sleeper like her mom.
