Online Free Ebooks - Novel - Aghast CH- 27 Surveillance of the bedroom

Ronald’s house was in complete darkness, chirping sound of the insects, wailing of a dog perturbed the surrounding. Suddenly a group of birds, sat on the tree for shelter, flied off fluttering their wings in fear.

Two police team members Richard and Eric were monitoring each and every activity in Ronald’s house on circuit TV. Both Richard and Eric were in their thirties. Richard was honest, storing and exactly opposite Eric was tall and shrewd. One of the rooms from Ronald’s guesthouse was allocated for the surveillance purpose. Disturbed Ronald curling to sides anxiously was visible on the circuit TV.
“ I would have loved to monitor the bedroom of a sexy couple.” Eric said jokingly.
Richard didn’t show interest in his partner’s humor.
“ I would even love to monitor the bedroom of funky married couple like you.” Eric continued.
Still Richard didn’t respond.
Suddenly there was some movement on one of the monitor. A black cat walked across the bedroom
“ Hey, look there's a cat in the bedroom. “ Richard said.
“ We're not here to catch activities of cats and dogs... If my father would have known that one day I am going to monitor the cats and dogs like this... he never would have allowed me to join the police” Eric said with sarcasm.
Suddenly as the cat jumped on a square box kept in the corner, the circuit TVs went blank.
“ Hey, what’s wrong?” Eric said, getting up from the chair.
Richard also got up from his chair.
The humorous expressions from Eric’s face were replaced by worries and confusion.
“ Come on let’s go and check. “ Richard said, darting out of the room.
Eric followed him.

Somebody was slept on a bed. Telephone kept beside the bed rang continuously. A hand came from a bed picked it up.
“ Yes..” It was Detective Sam’s voice.
From the other side Eric said, “ Sir, Ronald has been murdered the same way the other two has been.”
“ What?”
Suddenly Detective Sam sat up. He switched on bedroom light. His sleep was completely ruined.
“ What? Pardon?” Sam wanted to make sure again, as he was not able to believe what he heard.
“ Sir, Ronald has been killed.” Eric spoke from the other side.
“ In spite of the continuous camera monitoring. What the hell are you people doing out there?” Sam groaned.
“ Sir actually a cat jumped on a transmitter module, due to which it became dysfunctional. We went in to repair it and that is when we found the body.” Erick tried to explain.
