Everyone sitting on the chair was curious, the anchor came and said "AND FOR THE THIRD TIME THE BEST BUSINESS MAN OF THE YEAR AWARD GOES TO The CEO of the Mega Tech (company) EDWARD THOMPSON" Every body was clapping and then Edward stood up and took the award his wife Jenny was quite happy for his achievement so was his friend and business partner Scott.

Edward on the stage started his speech which included his struggle in his life also it contained the help provided to him by his friend Scott. He started his speech.

" So ah yeah it feels great ha it it is the best business man of the year award for the third time one after another. Actually I don't speak much even I refused to give the speech here but my friend Scott said to me that it's a hat trick of this award so I must speak something. So I'm here. I was born in a middle class family and when I was one year old my dad died in an accident after that there was no one to bring the money at home. Actually my mom wanted to be a housewife only. But as we had no financial support you know, so she worked as a maid she tried her best to make me happy to complete my education and then then...(he took a pause for a minute) then she also died in an accident in fact she died in in front of me. A truck came and crushed her then I was thinking like I had no reason to live and I wanted to die. So the best way to kill myself was by the train. as I didn't had any money to buy poison or any other thing. I decided it I was lying on the rail track the train was coming towards me it was coming closer towards me and then a boy came and saved my life I was like who is this guy? why he saved me? and then he asked me Are you insane or what? Then I told him my tragic story. He said that he was an orphan too we both were.together from that point to this point my wife Jenny also helped me alot supported my dreams I just can't say a word anymore Scott buddy come here I want to share this award with you."

He asked Scott to share the award with him. After that Scott and Edward both came down and sat on their chair.

The function was going on and Edward said to Scott that he wasn't feeling good and wanted to rest in the hotel he went in his room. After few minutes Scott went in Edward's room and cried loudly "EDWARD OH MY GOD" As he shouted Ed's wife and the hotel manager came in the room both of them were shocked to see the body of Edward lying on the floor and blood running out.

One month passed but the police weren't able to find any clue in the case, so the case was given to the crime branch of FBI, Officer Chris Holland was the head of the investigation.

Officer Chris read whole file and then he called Mike, Mike was a new officer and was appointed as the assistant of Chris " Mike take out the car we need to go to the Mega Tech HQ now" Said Chris. Along with Chris and Mike there were five men with them to solve the THOMPSON Murder Case.

They went to the Head quarters and went to the cabin of the new CEO of the Mega Tech he was none other than Ed's beloved friend Scott Wilson. The whole team entered in the cabin and Chris started asking him questions

"So you are the new CEO of the company?" Chris asked to him

" Yes, after Ed was killed the share holders decided that I should become the CEO of the company" Scott replied to his question

Chris asked to him that was there any kind of change in his behavior or any other change in his professional work he said no he was normal as always. So after asking few questions to him the team got out of the office. After that they went to Ed's house and asked few questions to his wife about his behavior she answered that he was a simple person. Then he asked to her that did he had any rivalry with any body. She said that the "MD of the company Tech Ultima was quite jealous with the achievement of Ed his name was John Miles. Sir he was been invited by the officials but he was absent there. Please find that killer." Yes mam will find that person for sure. Then Chris asked about his change of the behavior before certain period of the murder she replied negativity he was like always.

After investigating the team went back to the FBI HQ, Chris asked to all six men that who they think the Killer might be four of them said that it might be the MD, while two of them said that they don't have any idea about it. Chris said that these answer disappointed me. Mike asked what answer were you expecting sir. Chris replied to him that this case is not that simple, it's quite complicated for me currently everyone related to the dead one is suspect. Not only for me but everyone of you should think by this way. Yes Sir! they all replied.

They all went to the Crime scene and saw everything but find no clue then Chris saw the recording of the security camera but find nothing they then went back to the HQ. Chris decided that on the next day the team will go to the Head office of Tech Ultima and investigate there.

Chris was unhappy to find nothing new in the first day of investigation.

Chris along with whole team went to the Head office of the Tech Ultima the seven of them were about to enter the cabin of the MD John Miles but his secretary stopped them in their way and asked them to take the appointment first Chris said to her that we are the police let us go, secretary arrogantly replied I am Lisa Parker, the personal secretary of the MD of ... "JUST STOP THIS NONSENSE" Cris shouted on her and directly entered in the cabin. Mr John Miles we are the police we are here on the investigation on the Thompson Murder Case please Co operate with us."I guess you guys should take the appointment I am not any body to enter in my cabin." This time it was intollerable for Chris he went towards the door, closed it and returned towards him and punched on his face.

Now I think you will answer my questions. Without saying a single word John just nodded his head in the positive way then he asked John"Why were you and Mr. Thompson hating each other?" Miles replied What? why I was hating him you should have asked me why I shouldn't hate him? Chris asked to him " What was the matter?"

John started answering, eight years ago Tech Ultima was the best company. Edward and Scott came into my company to give the interview they were so excellent that without even thinking a second I appointed them as the General manager and the manager of the company. In just one month they made 10 percent profit to the company and I was happy. But hiring them in my company was my greatest mistake. They both created a different group and slowly the group growing up the best of best employees and all were happy in joining them they both then made their own company and named it as Mega Tech as it had all the men which I had in my company soon they got the spotlight and just in eight years they they both took away the empire I built 15 years ago. This was not the big thing that made me to hate him the main thing happened was. When Edward Thompson and Scott Wilson came out as the CEO of the Mega Tech every single media channel was there to take the interview of them. I was feeling like a retired man who has nothing to do and is now just sleeping at his home. One day I was going to the office I went in my cabin and my secretary said to me to start the T V something important is going on I asked to start it and there was the interview of Edward he was asked by the reporter that how was your journey from education to the CEO? his answer gave me a complete shock I still remember everything I remember he said that he and Scott once went to my company for job and I refused them he added that he worked as a peon in my company and then he and Scott took loan from bank and started the Mega Tech and then soon they got the success. Also he said that I played politics in the business and tried to took over his company how could he say so. That just broke my heart so bad that even after been invited to any ceremony in which Ed was also being called I didn't went. Also his struggle story which he used to tell is also fake. Chris asked to him so you were absent for every award function. John said yes. were you absent for the function before the murder of Mr Thompson? John makes weird face and shouts on Chris WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY THAT I KILLED HIM??????? Chris says to him it's a yes or no question answer in yes or no only or next punch will break your face. John said that he had done nothing to Ed while he was answering other questions Chris got a call from the Forensic lab it was about The exact weapon used to kill he sent his five men to the lab. Chris and his assistant Mike stayed there. Chris continued his questions and at last when he said that until the case is solved you cannot move out of the city. While Chris and Mike were going out John asked to them to that are they thinking that he killed Thompson. Chris answered to him that until he finds who the killer is. everyone he has seen related to the dead man is suspicious to me.

After investigating Chris got a call from the Doctor in the lab and Dr asked him to come there himself and see what it is. While Chris and Mike were moving towards the lab by the car Chris got a call as he was driving he didn't accepted it. He got a call again he again didn't accepted it he got the call for the third time and before he was about to reject Mike asked him to stop driving and see what it is. Chris accepted the call and it was one of the police from his team he said that the five of them have collected an important thing related to the case when Chris said that as the Dr said to him he was about to go to the lab. The police replied him that Dr didn't made any call to him. This answer made Chris in worry he said to the police man to go to the Head quarters he will be there as he off the call the car Chris was driving gets dashed by a car then few cars make the circle and Chris and Mike are stuck there.

Who are these people?

What important thing the Police has got?

Is this all a trap for Chris?

Stay tuned to know what will happen next?
