In the middle of New York City, on the seventh floor of a new building. The window was open, and through that open window, a man could be seen, sitting in his own room, reading a book.
His daughter called him from the kitchen, "Dad? Come down quickly. Dinner is ready. We are hungry. We won't eat if you don't come."
The man smiled at his daughter's words, closed the book, and went downstairs. When he came downstairs, he saw that the dinner table was set and warm. But there was no one there.
The living room, dining room, kitchen were all silent. His children, his wife, were not there. The man's heart was beating very fast. He shouted for his children and his wife. But no one answered.
Suddenly, the man's eyes fell on a chair. Where a man wearing a black hoodie was sitting. He was sitting with his legs crossed. He was looking straight into his eyes. It seemed like death itself was looking into his eyes. Then the man stood up with a long sigh and said,
"Captain Abraham?"
Then Abraham, very afraid, replied with a trembling voice, "Who are you? What do you want from me? And where is my family?"
That man replied with a cold voice, "Sit down First. I will answer every questions of yours."
Then Abraham took a chair and sat in front of him.
Then that man said, "I am The Frostbite. I am expecting some of answers from you and that you have to answer without any question. And for few minutes, forget about your family." Then he added that, "What was your reason for killing Farooq?"
Abraham relaxed himself and replied, "I did not kill Farooq but I wish I had. I tried to kill Farooq many times, but every time I was stopped because of Franklin. I couldn't because of him."
Frostbite looked at Abraham with a very strange look and asked, " why?"
Abraham replied with curiosity,
"You may not be the whole story. Farooq's father was a scientist. But he was not an ordinary scientist. He was an extraordinary and genius scientist. Before I became a pilot, I was also a scientist and I worked with Farooq's father. Before Farooq's father died, he explained everything to Farooq. At that time, Farooq was only 11 years old. But Farooq was smarter than his own father. Farooq had a separate room in the science lab where he was doing something. None of us know to this day what he was actually trying to do or what he did."
Frostbite listened to everything and asked one last question, "So what is the connection between this incident and your killing of Farooq?"
Abraham replied with anger, "My entire career was ruined because of him. I was so disrespected that I had to leave my entire country."
Then Frostbite stood up and was about to leave when Abraham called him and said,
"Hey..wait! Where is my family?"
Frostbite looked at him, then jumped out the window without answering.
Shortly after that, his family came down from the roof. "Dad, Dad, do you know? There were so many fireworks going off on the roof. They were so beautiful."
Abraham hugged his daughter and said, "They are just as beautiful as you, like the moon in the sky."
On the other hand,
Fahad was standing on top of another building, setting off fireworks. Just to implement their plan. Actually, Fahad didn't go to Abraham because Abraham knew about Fahad very much.
Frostbite knew very well that if Fahad had gone instead, he would have listened to Abraham's words but returned with his death confirmed.
Then Fahad and Frostbite headed towards the science lab, just to see what Farooq was actually trying to do.
