Marks POV:
Maybe Tom takes this decision to empower the girl's bravery...
Even I appreciate his decision and her bravery, but deep down of my heart, I don't want this little girl to involve in this case...
I don't know which side they will attack now, and what is the exact reason behind their attacking...
My thoughts were interrupted when Tom started to giving instructions to that girl...
Tom: "But girl, you should follow our instructions and should not cross our orders, ok?
(Her face lighten up with sparkles and hug Tom immediately with gratitude...
I am still looking at Tom in a serious note for his sudden decision.)
Tim: "It's ok Mark, she will help us to find him, and we will secure her, that's simple..."
(It's a waste to argue with him now after he takes the decision and her father also wanted to take her...
So I nod my head as Yes, and we three lead to the car and start towards the address of the vehicle sent by the cops...
Girl: "I think it is the car renting shop..."
Mark: "What do you mean?"
Girl: "Yeah, car renting business is a trending business at tourism places like Grindelwald...
They will rent cars, like an hourly rate or on a daily basis to the tourists."
Tom: "Wow, you have so much knowledge..."
Girl: "I am the localite, so I know the minimum about our city..."
Tom: "That's great, and we are lucky because you are helping us to solve the case quickly..."
Mark: "you said before that your dad is scared for legal procedures, but why he suddenly allowed you to come with us..?"
(She smiled a little...)
Girl: "After you left our shop, me and my dad got a brief conversation and it leads to a bet...
My dad said cops are very aggressive when the incident takes place but after 2 to 3 days they will forget everything and continue with their daily routine..."
Tom: "Then what's your argument with your dad?"
Girl: "I told him that I don't know about the cops, but I sense genuinity with you...
And my dad and I bet that you don't come again...
So my dad shocked when you come immediately in a few minutes for the confirmation of proofs...
So he impressed and supported me to go with you..."
Tom: "Thank god, I finally fulfilled your expectations about me..."
(In-between our talk we reached the location, and it exactly looked like what this girl said...
There are many cars parking around, maybe most of them are second-hand cars...
We went to the management room directly, and Tom introduces himself to the manager. I hold the girl's hand and alert for the sudden attack may happen.)
Tom: "Here are the car details, and we need the travel history of the car...
(Manager immediately looked at the car pictures and the number...)
Manager: "weird..."
Manager: "I just got a call that my customers booked this car..."
Tom: "Can you give me the details of the customer?"
Manager: "We didn't take their details yet...
Tom: "How can you rent your car without taking the details of your customers..."
Manager: "Sir, they are still checking the car; they didn't take the car yet...
They said they are interested in a black colour sports car...
So we have only two cars in our stock, so they went to check the cars, and they just confirmed it..."
(Then they are not the murderer, they are just casual customers...
So I immediately asked him...)
Mark: "Can you give the previous history of that car...
Particularly this morning..."
Manager: "I didn't rent that car to anyone yet, sir..."
Tom: "Hello Mr. we came here to find the truth, not to chitchat with you and the particular car was witnessed in today's morning accident, and the man is dead, so we are here to check the travel history."
(The manager got scared immediately for Tom's warning.)
Manager: "Sir, I didn't understand what you are saying...
We didn't rent out that car till yet, and we purchased the vehicle 2 Days back, and it is in maintenance in these two days and we just got the customers for the car, soon they will come here to give their details and advance money...
And if you want, I will give the address of the previous owner..."
Tom: "Is there any chance for the test drive after the maintenance?"
Manager: "Yes, sir, but I don't know when they take for the test drive...
I will confirm it right now..."
(He immediately makes a call to someone and asked casually about the test drive...
And he shocked and hung the call...
Manager: "Sir, it's today morning, sir..."
Tom: "Can you give me the details of him who takes the car to test drive?"
Manager: "Sure sir, he works here, and he just takes our customers to show this black car, I will call him to come here...
(There may be a chance that he may escape if his owner ordered him to come here because he just called before for the details of the test drive, so we should visit him, than he comes to us...)
Mark: "No... Don't make a call...
Can you take us to that car and I hope he should be there..."
Manager: "Sure, sir, he is at the same car with the customers..."
(We all, along with the girl walk towards the car...
When we are a few feet away...
The manager showed the car and a nearby man...
Manager: "He is the one you are looking for, sir..."
(I looked at him he turned another side and I can see only his back.)
Manager: "Sir, I am not responsible for the accident, please don't involve me, sir."
Tom: "It's ok, thanks for your cooperation..."
(Tom and I were happy that we found him very soon and turned again to look at him...
No...
No...
The girl is about to tap on his back...
I immediately shouted at her...
Mark: "Hey, Come back..."
(Tom and I hurriedly went to her...
In-between she didn't listen to us and tapped on his back, and he was shocked by looking at the girl, and immediately he looked at me and in a fraction of a second he takes the gun from his pocket and pointed on the girls head and hold her neck with his other hand...
Shit shit...
What just happened in these few seconds..?
I don't want to put this girl in danger...
My mind was blank and didn't know what to do and don't dare to take any step because the girl is in point blank position...
Meanwhile, Tom is convincing him...
Tom: "Hey.., don't do anything to her...
We will leave you, and we don't follow you...
Please don't harm her..."
He immediately shouted at Tom, "I don't believe you and if you take one more step forward, I will kill her in one shot..."
Suddenly, I hear a familiar tone...
"Don't dare to move...
You will be dead if you move a step ahead..."
I am shocked by looking at them...
It's Anna who warned him...
I got goosebumps all over my body by looking at her behind the men and pointed the gun on his head, and Mona is just beside her...
