The Hotel Owner
Prologue
On a hill,deep inside the forest a jeep moves making its way past the maze created by trees. The rain drops crashing against the jeep metal and dispersing.
" have I ever made a mistake" the man driving the jeep says over the phone. He was shouting on the phone to be heard over the rain.
" Keep the cash ready. Once I take care of the body I will come to get it" the driver stops the jeep and cuts the call. He gets down and rounds the jeep to open his trunk.
a huge black plastic bag was lying there tied at its mouth with a jute rope. He threw the bag on his right shoulder holding it at the tied end. With his other hand he reached for the shovel and dragged it along with him to the centre of four trees.
dug dug dug and a grave was created inside the soil. He threw the black bag inside the grave and covers it up by the soil.
The driver then turned and sat in his jeep and was about to start his jeep when a cold hand came to rest upon his shoulders. His entire body became Stiff. He was in this business of killing and taking care of bodies for years now that he was hardly unnerved but somehow this situation seemed eeire to him.
His neck was struck he was not able to move when a cold breath touched the back of his bald head and a low pitched voice rang in the forest - "what are you doing human"
It was obviously not a 'get to know' question instead it conveyed every emotion a hunter wants it's prey to feel once it starts playing with it.
The driver gathering his courage starts the engine and pressed the accelerator as if his life depends on it because it literally does. The jeep moved forward. There was a sharp pain on his neck and when he placed his palm around his neck he was bleeding and his pendant was missing. He took a chance and turned his head slightly there he saw something which sure was going to haunt him for nights.

On a cliff a huge hotel rests. Its walls covered with ivy and rain drops pelted heavily on its slanting roof. The windows were covered with fog. when a hand rubbed a small semicircle on the top window near the roof
a golden binoculars appeared on the window.Through its lens a pair of piercing hazel eyes looked down on the huge pine tree forest

Manik Rana

Sameer
' I miss you too ' is what humans say to each other now a days. *he turns giving his full attention to Manik now*
Sameer

Manik Rana
Enough Get out of my study and my hotel NOW *he walked away from the window and stride towards Sameer*
Sameer
*stands up to face him*
both of them had tall figures and muscular bodies. They stood facing each other, eyes glaring and mouth twitching. Neither of them ready to back off.
A minute passed and after 15 minutes of stare down Sameer backs off
Sameer

Manik Rana
Why does that not sound like a question wait a minute you were the one who gave my number to them
Sameer

Sameer

Sameer
