Mark's POV:

Tom: Remember again, by any chance, he spells out the name of John?

Old room boy: "No sir, I didn't hear any name."

Tom: "Or..."

(Tom paused...

I know he is about to ask Lucus's name, who is Anna's father...

Anna is depressed when I spell out her father's name at the hospital. Maybe Tom is paused for the same reason...)

Anna: "Or Lucus..?"

(Anna asked sharply, I am shocked for her sudden rise of voice...

I didn't expect this from her...

I immediately looked at her, and her eyes are wet, she understands what Tom wants to ask; she doesn't want to break the interrogation just because of her presence, so without hesitation, she asked the question what Tom wants to ask...

But I can sense how much pain she takes when she is pronouncing her father's name.)

Old room boy: "No, madam, I didn't hear any name..."

(Anna immediately relieved after listening to his answer, I rubbed her palm in between my hands to console her; she stabilizes after a few seconds...

I am clear, and I am sure it's not John and Lucus, it doesn't mean Lucus is innocent...

I will definitely catch him and clear all my doubts and prove to everyone that he is one of the culprits of Ria's case...

But there is some other person who is taunting us...

I am not sure for what he is exactly looking for...

I guess he doesn't want to take our lives; he is looking for something which is precious...

In between my thoughts, I started to listen to their interrogation...)

Tom: "Why he speaks about his personal matters in front of you? I mean, he doesn't want to leave any clue, so he must leave the room to speak to his boss.

So why did he speak in front of you?

Do you guess anything regarding this?"

Old Room Boy: "I pretend that I am unconscious and I closed my eyes when I hear the door knob sound. Because he tortured me if he had any free time...

I think he doesn't torture me if I act unconsciously; maybe that's the reason he speaks out the call by thinking that I am unconscious.

But after the phone, he slapped me hard to make me wake up...

After 4-5 slaps I opened my eyes slowly and acted I am dizzy...

He hurriedly takes the clothes from my mouth and puts some food in my mouth and again sealed my mouth by stuffing with the clothes and went hurriedly...

He forgot to keep the chloroform; it's hard to stay awake the whole day and night by looking at the door that someone will come to me and help me...

Tom: "What?

He didn't come to your room at night?"

Old room boy: "No sir, he didn't, he came this morning just before your visit..."

Tom: "What?"

He speaks to the call nervously, and he went near to his bag and do something...

I didn't observe him, and I am looking at my hands because he didn't make proper knots, I can easily loosen my hands, I stay quiet...

After a few seconds, he went along with his bag and forgot to stuff my mouth with clothes, but he locked the door from outside.

I immediately loosened my hands and tried to open the door, but the door was locked from the outside...

I shouted for help, but no one came...

So I take the rod to defend myself and hide beside the door to attack immediately if he entered the room...

And I hear the door unlocking sound, so I alerted and attacked immediately when the door was opened...

It was you, and I understand the next moment that I made a mistake, I should have attacked him after confirming him...

But I am scared, so without a second thought, I attacked you...

That's the reason I attacked you, sir, and I don't want to harm you."

Tom: "It's ok, you take the wise decision by defending your self...

And if you didn't caution us to go to the safest place, we all would have been dead by now."

Mona: "Will you shut up your stupid analysis."

(Mona shouted at Tom, maybe because she doesn't like the sentence, "we all are dead by now..."

Yeah, Mona got the hope to live her life happily with Tom, how she easily takes the thought that something bad can happen to Tom.

Tom immediately smiled by looking at her serious face and windup the interrogation and order the other offices to keep him under the remainder room, and we all four still stay in the interrogation room.)

Mona: "When did he place that stupid bomb."

Tom: "Maybe he carried the bomb in his bag, and he quickly placed it in the room with a timer on, like a bar of chocolate placed in the fridge..."

Mona: "Stop explaining it with your stupid example, Tom..."

Anna: "So, why did he plan the bomb blast in the penthouse?"

Tom: "I guess, when the spy got a call from his boss, he got instructions to smash the place."

Mark: "Yes, the spy's boss knew the information that we are going to this old Room boy penthouse and there may be a chance that we can find the traces of the spy. And I am sure it may lead to catch the boss of the spy.

So he gave the instructions to blast the place...
