The case was intriguing and I was clinging to it. You know detectives are detectives because they really can't rest without giving a short exercise to their brains. Trust me they can't, I can't. "And now what keeps me going is a question that a lady who was running to save her life was drinking tea the very next moment with so much relaxation as if..as if nothing happened" I told Sebastian who was accompanying me - my dear best friend..a person for keeps.

"Yeah it is shocking..but don't tell me you are relating this woman to the case. It's useless." he said.

"Nothing is useless my friend..unless we use it. We can not predict humans. You remember my last case when the mother of a casual acquaintance of the victim turned out to be the murderer..this world is awful Seb..you never know!"

We went to Paddington station and straight away landed into the local train.

We were having a great time. Journey to Reading is worth all the pennies, even today.

Suddenly I saw a man wearing an oversized coat, with dark sunglasses on his face. He was wearing a mask..I envisaged THE INVISIBLE MAN..oh how much I like that novel. Then he tried to come near me and Sebastian, I signaled him to be careful. We were alert, he came closer and stood behind my friend. I observed we were about to reach reading. The train slowly came to halt, but this time the voice of engine was coupled with another sound. The trigger was pressed. The train stopped. Sebastian fell on the ground..he had been shot!!
