Chapter 3: a silent killer



'Sweetu , maa would wants to talk to you now but seems like I won't let her , just talk with me for today please ' 'papa don't you know that this would be the death of you , speaker pe daaldo na ' Gushes and giggles almost inaudible due to the chaos in the cafeteria. 'you Know I miss you alot ghar aaneka jab bhi Mann kare aa jana your papa will be the one cooking for you that whole day ' Her father giggled. She knows that deep down he is screaming to be with her , he loved his daughter to the core. Their family has Dhriya as the elder one and her brother Dhairya , while their father Dhaivik Shastri is a now retired Army officer and mother Sherlyn Tripathi Shastri a fashion designer now . Her brother was that annoying sibling but he loved her so much that even he had insisted on coming with her to the US , currently he is working as a para-commando in the Parachute Regiment of Indian Army . He was quite of a naughty kid , always coming last in the academic fields but was a gold medalist in Taekwondo and kabaddi. But what has made their life so happy was their commitment to the family, they would never forget their family. ' okay then papa I will call both of you soon , my break is almost finished bye ' hanging up the call she makes her way towards her cabin. Just as she was about to walk past Dr Jeon , unnoticed , he called her . She ceased, turning around eyes big like a squishy 'Sir , sorry i didn't notice you' ' no it's okay , i would want to inform you that the pateint will be here within 10 more minutes please be conscious, i might call you anytime soon , or just do one thing, be beside me ' His tone wasn't flirtious , infact he wasn't even looking straight at her , as he avoided her gaze while asking her to do so ,shy .

Big cars of police patrol can be seen , and a huge van that seems to be used to bring any criminal in safe hands was the centre of attention. A man can be seen wearing a mask , the freddy obvious jail wear on view. His head low , as he is almost trashed around by the officers and security. Seems like he didn't even budge, big man muscularity . He walked to the entrance guided inside . ' Oh sir , i haven't arranged his clinical records I am going to my cabin sir and will come to the lab soon , sorry ' Dhriya hurried her way . As the known man walked towards Jeon , he has finally raised his head up . Eyes emotionless, they screamed danger as he glared Jeon , continuously being dragged to the designed room , he starts to turn his head towards him , maintaining the eye contact. Jeon huffs breaking the eye contact , it seemed like any other case of murderer being psychotic , but he failed to notice the growing smirk beneath the fabric of the mask , a gripping irony of what would come next.

Sirens of the cars finally stopped the howling . Here in the interrogation room stood the higher authorities of the Police department of the state and other ranked officers. ' Dr Jeon , we will first talk to him for a few minutes and then hand over to you ' an officer stated. Within minutes the officers had left leaving 10 of them around for security purposes. Leaving only the criminal in charge and him. Silence , just the sound of the walk clock ticking. Also the bathroom tap leaking , leaving a drop each minute . ' Hello , I am Dr Jeon , I am just here to supervise but your treatment and diagnosis will be done by another doctor , I hope you are at ease ' He stated , calm and devoid of any aggression same as of how he talks with any other pateint. The pateint didn't even look at him , head hanging low .

It reminded him of a certain being , that one person responsible for his sister's death , his elder sister Jeon Naomi . The situation looked odly familiar , even though he is sure he had never seen this man in his life but was he sure? His brain surely was playing games with him . But this was a sensitive topic to him , he lives the trauma daily . He thinks about that incident daily and when he can't even come to a point to cry his heart out , he drinks . The controversial side of this profession was this. But the hard reality is something everyone taboo of. He can still remember ...

'Noona , please get me that shoes , they look like disco. Please' ' kook please not now , you know eomma doesn't likes it when we spend so much of dolars at things we already have in our home ' ' but sis please !!! what would I even wear to prom-' ' prom? really prom ? you would want disco shoes for prom - oh my god I can't stop my laugh ' . Naomi , was 26 at that time of the year ending , and he was 19 . Naomi loved Somi and Jungkook to heart . Since their parents were rather strict with them , they found their piece of life among them . Father a doctor , mother a physiotherapist ' who was working for NGO's and doing Charity ' , they were bought up with great courage and discipline. Naomi was a child dear to her father. Somi being the youngest was loved by both , and Jungkook , he was his mother's whole world. Naomi , was always a thriving aspirant for the world of law and judiciary. Bringing justice to the system and anyone was her dream to achieve. Her knowledge knew no bounds . She was living and surviving only for others , only for serving justice. By the time she was already a rookie lawyer under a dignified senior advocate. The profession gave her instant lime light. Apart from all the glamorous advantages , this life came with a series of danger. The more she is known, the more cases and more is the danger. That day , 11 th of September was the day she knew she would not make it . She knew her time was near , and at the least , she was no more.

All started , when she was joining as the new lawyer for the state judiciary council and a case as dreadful as it seemed came to her desk . She was a criminal lawyer , but she was almost as experienced as any other lawyers. This case would have been her come back. A come back she has always dreamed of. But it came with certain dreads , that would harm her and her personal life. The case surrounded around a businessman and his wife , who he abused and almost cut her into pieces. Along with that, it stated that he was being charged of various illegal business - of weapons and guns along with marijuana and heroin. Now the thing was she wanted to actually serve justice and play for the victim . But , she was rather handed the case for the criminal in charge. The clients secretary along with some of the powerful team members came to her . She was confused , why would they want a newbie to be playing for them . Wasn't it supposed to be handled by an expert they wanted. But she rather saw this as a chance. A chance to rather give justice to the wife. She heard , that a client of similar case came to a desk nearer to her , her colleagues. The case sounded so same , and it was actually the wife . At that moment she decided that she will swap the business. It came to a term and finally the big face off happened. The client who was charged was distasted with the idea. But he can't say anything. It was the choice of the lawyer. He being powerful also came with certain rules he needed to follow to catch up with the society, to mix along with them , to be like them . But Naomi knew better than to believe his tricks. She knew he was danger , with the look in those brown chocolaty eyes , sharp and seducing . It seemed like his face was so perfect that , one look and you would mistake it as his one of his fleeks. But she knew his mind was not there. He was thinking of various ways to win , just as always. She knew how to come over this and she will .

The court's proceedings were held and the case began . Oh my goodness the amount of stories, evidences , footages and not to forget scars and blood she saw through out the findings. This should be documented. The wife was very beautiful and High class woman . She was a Seol university graduate on home science and was married to the man at the age of 23 only . At her 7th anniversary itself, she broke down and knew she could not hold in anymore , so she reached out. The case was bashful , even if she knew that the case was one sided as she had all the evidences , it still brought rather a fear, a fear to unknown. The day they won't the case was the 30th day of hearing , strange as even if they had all and everything against the criminal the case still went forward for around a few months. But what was even scarier was the opponent team sat very leisurely and almost as if unaffected. And whatever she had inside of her mind , came true to her words. The case was contaminated , these hearings in the courtroom all was a lie and a play for formalities. Because when the final verdict came , it came as a shockwave . A disaster , even having all raw evidences and what not the case was dismissed with called out as a fake case against the charged just so the wife could divorce him and get a big amount of alimony. That day she fought like a wolf . She screamed and tarnished all the formalities. And at the end she was suspended rather kicked out of her work. It pained her , to core to what seemed like a simple case . It broke her and she carelessly threw herself on the bed that day as she cried her heart out. With no time she was on television and the case was moniteriesd. Her parents and siblings banged the door to her bedroom. They finally were let in and a session of blabbers and talks , sympathy and motivating lines could be heard . She finally sat down for dinner and ended her day with a glimmer in her eyes. She was suspended only , it is yet to come . The next day she was fresh , as if with a new start , as she had marched along the path of her favourite lane . The lane seemed awkwardly disturbing that day. And within no time she was dragged around with a hanky on her nose , slurred through the road and her head finally hitting a pillar. It was evening after all who would even see , or perhaps didn't want to see . Her body was shoved around and into a black bmw van . Her screams were muted even before she could. Her eyes dropping , bitting her teeth into the palms of the kidnapper , but he didn't budge. As she opened her eyes slowly feeling her body breaking and burning skin , she saw a muscular body staying lean against a wall as she screamed to have mercy on her , it was him , the same man she refused to work for. Her vagina bleeded , doesn't that mean it was being molested. Her pain knew no bounds , as she layed , back arched at a certain angle , eyes fluttering as she rummaged around the rough floor. The place seemed like an abandoned lighthouse just beside a water body. She could hear the waves , it annoyed her even more. ' shhh , listen now you had done enough to come on my way , now let's not do that anymore okay ? sleep like an angel and let's not remember any of this , tata my beautiful bee ' he breathed , bored but eyes lusted with a heinous glimore. She was there alone , all alone , fighting for her life. And she doesn't know how within a day she was finally found. She was taken into the emergency room as the doctors pushed oxygen masks to her nose and salines into her body. That day , she told them everything about the incident. And within no time they found the person in his penthouse seating silent as he surrendered to the police , but he refused to give up his mask. He kind of threatened the police what would be the consequences if they happened to force him to give up and show his face and identity to the people. But he lost , her parents did everything to bring her justice and he was under arrest. The person was said to be named Min LeeYeon , a drug dealer . But till the time they could announce the now served 'justice' to their daughter , she left , the world , her dear parents and siblings. They dreaded those days , they cried with furry and pain . It was a living nightmare for them . They lived every moment after like a corpse. And Jungkook throughout this find his own trauma to live . Those eyes , those scars , that face , he still remembers , and would always 'remember' . LeeYeon was being dragged to the custody, as his head hanged low , in shame or was it his disobedience. But Jungkook would remember him always , as a silent killer , for his happiness and his sister. That view for a few moments was the only view he got to see of that man . After the lock up , the case was never bought up neither was his appearance or life update. It went shut like a horrid nightmare. As Jungkook begin to satiate his fear and guilt , chugging bottles of Soju and alcohol he was left with only pain and never-ending sleepless nights.
