“Why……” I stared at her….. Mum sure knows how to get the truth out of people.
What do I tell her now….. Gosh I nee-d a perfect lie, so I won’t be caught.
“Actually I was just curious….. Mr Phogat is such an handsome man so I wanted to know if his son waa as handsome as he was”
“Really…. Okey, I would be right back” She said and left.
“Phew that was close….. That God she bought that lie”
“Here….” she said Handing over a wra-pped book to me.
I smiled collecting it from her, I opened it and stared at the little handsome boy.
“He has some close resemble with Rocky’s real face but am not sure….” I thought staring de-eply at the stretch.
“Its yours now Preeti….”
“Mine….. Don’t you nee-d it for the investigation anymore”
“No…. Am no longer doing the investigation…. You can have it” she said.
“Thanks…..” I said beaming.
All I nee-d now is to have a second look a Rocky’s face that way I can detect if he is Mr Phogat’s son or not.
“I have to go now…. I will come back later” I said standing.
“Thanks for keeping me company…..” She said and we hvgged each other before I left.
I quic-kly bordered a taxi back home.. I nee-d to keep tracks with Rocky, am not done with him yet.
I got home and found the door locked… I used my own key to open the door.
“Rocky wasn’t home….where did he go” I thought, it was alre-ady getting late so I can’t go in search of him right now.
I sighed slumping into the be-d…. “At least I would sleep on the be-d even if its just for tonight” I said and laughed.
I turned the other side of the be-d when I noticed his l@pt©p on t©p of the cabinet.
I looked around to check if someone was seeing me, well I have to double check even if I know am the only one inside the room.
I rushed to the door and bolted it…. Even if he comes back, he would knock first.
I opened the l@pt©p and my eyes caught with a recording voice tape.
I smiled to myself as I cli-cked it to listen to it but it refuse to open requesting for some foolish pas-sword.
I sighed, Rocky is really smart… No wonder he was able to manage two looks at a time.
I tried inputting the pas-sword five times but they all got rejected.
“What might be his pas-sword… It has to be something he cherish most or something only him knows” I thought inputting another pas-sword but it got rejected again.
“Bhvana…. Gosh she is such an expert in hacking peoples device” I said picking up my phone, I dialed her number and she answered her phone on the second call.
“I thought you said you don’t nee-d our help why are you calling”
“Actually can you help me hack a l@pt©p”
“A l@pt©p… Did you steal that” She asked.
“Am not a thief… I just nee-d to check something, plea-se”
“okey… Just sÂŁnd me the address… I would be there”
“Thanks but plea-se…. Don’t let Nelly know, I want this to be between us okey”
“Don’t worry, she went to see Arch angel DevesÂŁna, I guess she is getting her mission so she would be very busy”
“That’s good, I would sÂŁnd the address now… Thanks so much” I said and the line went off.
I quic-kly sÂŁnt Rocky’s address to Bhvana, she texted back telling me she would be here in a jiffy.

“Welcome… We received news you were coming” the head guard said.
I smiled “Am honored” I said, behind him were two other guards whom seems to be waiting for his orders.
“You should, not everyone have the favor to visit the chiefs house but you got the favor in a twi-nkle of an eye” he said.
“I hope it last long”I said.
“It would, once you stay in your lane and obey the rules… Chiefs rule are quite difficult and easy, it depends on how you look at it” he said.
“Thanks…. Am alre-ady late, can you take me to the chiefs presÂŁnce” I asked.
“Off course, but we nee-d to search you” he said and signaled two men whom began to search me.
I know better than to bring weapons, Siddarth had warned me about it.
“All clear sir” one of them said.
“Okey…. Come with me Rocky” he said leaving, I followed suit while the other two followed after me.
I was taking notice of all the places we pas-sed, the number of rooms and every other thing.
We got to a tall door and the head guard st©pped… He pressed a botton and the door opened.
“Go in….” He said.
“Just me….?” I asked feeling uneasy…. Is Varma trying to pl@ypranks on me.
“Only the executive officers are allowed in, don’t worry…. We are harmless” he said.
I gulbe-d ha-rd before I entered, the door closed immediately.
I walked straight looking where ever Varma was, when I noticed someone tied to the wall.
I moved closer and found out it was the same girl I had thought was my sister… The Sasha girl.
“What is she doing here?” I thought moving closer to her.
“Are you okey” I asked…. She raised her face up and my eyes caught with hers.
She looked excately like Rhea and looking at her, the person I saw was Rhea.
She didn’t say a word… She was bleeding and I guess she must be too weak to talk.
I began to hear footsteps and turned only to see Varma standing before me, beside him were three other men whom I was familiar with,Sir Nas-ser, Sir Prabhas, Sir Subba…. They were all the four knights.
Siddarth was right, they all work together and am sure they must have planned my father’s death together.
But why would they hold an innocent girl hostage… She is just a common pr©st!tĂ»tÂŁworking for Sir Nas-ser, they shouldn’t have brou-ght her here.
“Welcome Rocky…. I have been waiting for you” Chief Varma said smiling.
““Your men directed me here, Chief” I said bowing.
“Meet my friends… Sir Nas-ser, Sir Prabhas and Sir Subba…. We are popularly known as the four knights”
“Oh my… I never thought I would see you all in my life time… Am so honored” I said trying so ha-rd to sound normal.
“We have a task for you…. If you are able to complete it, we would make you the fifth Knight” Sir Subba said and the rest nodded in approval.
“The fifth knight…. Why are they suddenly giving me such offer” I stared at them one after the other…. That was when I noticed the knife in their hand.
“No way…. They must have found out that am Shiva Phogat…. What will I do” I thought scared.
“So… Should we go ahead and tell you what the task is” Sir Prabhas asked.
“S….ure… W…hy not” I stuttered nervously.
“You see that girl over there” Sir Nas-ser began using his knife to point at Sasha.
I turned and had a good look at the dieing girl “Yes… What about her” I asked now looking at her.
“Waste her……” Chief Varma said.

For the next ten minutes, I stood there staring at them “Waste her….. I don’t un-derstand” I said.
“What’s there not to un-derstand” Varma said coming towards me “Just kill her….” He whispered into my ears giving me his knife.
I stared at the poor innocent girl, it was as if I was staring at my own sisters face “I can’t….” I voiced out.
“You can’t….?” Chief Varma asked, I glanced at him… He was surprise, I guess he didn’t expect a no from me.
“You don’t nee-d to taste my loyalty this way….. I can’t kill an innocent girl to prove a point….” I added.
Chief Varma bur-st into laughter like wise the rest of the knights.
I just hope am doing things right….. “You can’t…. Why?? You don’t seem to know the girl”
“That’s the more reason I won’t kill her…. There are other ways to prove my loyalty to you Chief” I said bowing.
He smiled and glanced at me for a while before walking towards the girl “I just hope, he doesn’t want to do the killing himself”
“You are such a lucky girl Rhea…. Thank your stars and Rocky too” Chief Varma said dragging her hair while she gro-an ed in pain.
“Rhea…….??” I asked
“Yeah…. Rhea Phogat” Chief Varma said coming towards me
“You seems surprise…. Is anything the matter” he asked now standing before me.
“Not really…. Just that I thought Mr Phogat’s children died from the incident… I mean that’s what the reporters wrote” I said hurriedly.
I quic-kly changed my facial expression so he won’t suspect anything.
“True…. Reporters write what we tell them to write and the law do what we want them to do ma-king the people believe what we want them to believe” he said smiling.
“That’s how we do things here…. With time you will get used to it” Sir Nas-ser said.
“So.. Am I now the fifth knight” I asked.
“Not yet son… You have to earn it, by gaining our trust” Chief Varma said.
“Am not your son you as-s-hole” I wanted to say but I dare not…. That would ruin everything I have worked for and even put my sisters life in danger.
“How….” I asked.
“We would discuss that later, but now let’s get to the celebr@tion….” he said leaving.
“What celebr@tion?…” I found myself ask.
Chief Varma st©pped and turned to me…. “Its my daughters birthday today” he replied and continued walking.
“He has a daughter yet he is this heartless….” I thought.
I turned back staring at my sister “Just hang on for a little time, just a little time and I would get you out of there” I thought.
“Let’s go Rocky….” Sir Prabhas said, I quic-kly wiped away the little tear in my eyes and left with them.

“Whoever inputted this pas-sword must be an expert” Bhvana said trying for the hundredth time.
“So you can’t hack it….” I asked.
“Am sorry but I can’t…. The pas-sword is really powerful and I think it was created throu-gh this l@pt©p” she said.
I sighed feeling really dejected “I don’t know where Rocky is and I can’t hack into his l@pt©p….”
I glanced at the clock, it was alre-ady late… Rocky has never stayed out this late.
“So… How is your mission going, Rocky doesn’t seem to be home” Bhvana asked.
“Hmm…. I guess he was stuck in traffic or working late” I lied.
“Okey…. So any progress” she asked.
I smiled shaking my head negatively “No…. I haven’t discovered any other thing about him aside from the things I told you and Nelly” I lied.
I can’t tell her about Rocky… No, not yet I have to be sure first before telling anyone.
“Okey… If you say so” She said lying down.
“A….re you going to spend a night here” I asked.
“Yeah… Since Rocky won’t be coming home tonight… I would just keep you company” She said adjusting herself well in the be-d.
“But…..”
“No buts… Am staying and nothing can change my mind” she said.
I sighed “I know Bhvana…. She isn’t leaving” I dropped the l@pt©p back to it previous position.
I collected the drawing Mum gave to me earlier today, and hide it inside my box before going to sleep.
🔥D🔥
I sat down quietly with the rest of the guest…. Few minutes later Chief Varma daughter walked in dressed as a princess… Beside her where two maids.
“Happy birthday to you my princess” Chief Varma said hvgging his daughter.
The rest of the guest did same… Well there wasn’t much guest, just some of the few corrupt government officials that are into the killing game with Chief Varma.
I do plan on executing them along side Chief Varma… If not for anything am sure they knew that Chief Varma killed my father… They can’t even deny it.
“Meet my daughter… Andris, Andris meet father’s new friend Rocky” Chief Varma said.
“Hey… Andris” I said smiling… Well I have no choice than to smile.
“Hey…. Rocky” she said shy…. Yes she is shy, its written all over her, the way she speaks and the way she kept twisting her hand.
“I would leave you both to discuss….” Chief Varma said and left.
“Discuss what excately” I hissed…. She sat beside me busy twisting her f!ngers.
I didn’t say a word to her, what’s there to say…. I haven’t meet her for the first time and am not even interested in her.
I seized the opportunity to look around the house, taking notice of the environment and studying the face of every one there.
“Am a student at Harvard University Canada…. My dad told me alot about you and also your intention of joining his business” she said.
I nodded trying so ha-rd to smile… Am pretty sure Chief Varma must have as-signed some spy to check how I treat his daughter.
“You are the only young guy joining my dad’s business…. It has just been this old politicians…. No wonder my dad likes you”
“He does….” I managed to say.
“Offcourse he does….. I just c@mÂŁ back from Canada a week ago…. My dad thinks its better if we hang out more often” she kept talking to herself.
“Hang out more often…. What’s that suppose to mean” I thought
“My dad really told me alot about you, he said you saved his life so he thinks its better if we all become family”
“Family indeed”
“So…. Dad told me you are planning to become the fifth knight”
“No… Idiot, am planning on killing your useless father whom doesn’t know his limit”
She kept blabbing, I made sure to give her reply in my mind, still looking around just then I saw Varma coming in with Rhea.
She has been beautiful dressed and the bruises in her face has all disappeared.
“So….. Rocky” she was saying when I cutted in sharply.
“Who is she??” I asked.
“Who….?”
“The girl with your father…. Who is she and what business does she have here”
“Why??… Do you like her” She asked worried, I noticed it from her tone and the way she was staring at me.
“I guess….” I said, she hissed and turned towards Rhea whom was seated beside Chief Varma.
I stared at her…. Her face was plastered with so much hatred for Rhea…. “I don’t like her” I said before she kills my sister with her evil stares.
“I didn’t ask….” She snapped angrily.
“Would you answer my question” I asked staring at her.
“No… Ask my dad” she snapped angrily facing the other side.
I scoffed, “Idiot…. Your dad sure raised someone like him” I thought… I smiled as I crossed my hands over her shoulder.
“Looks like I have found myself a tool to use against Varma” I chucked secretly.
