Treat CH 48 Online Free Novels - Ad-bhut

Christopher, Ronald, Paul, Steven, and Anthony were drinking together and empting the glasses one after the other. Christopher and his three friends were at their peak. But Anthony was drinking with caution.
"So, Anthony, where are you roaming so late in the night?" Steven asked patting on his back.
He seemed to be sufficiently drunk.
"I actually came to you, regarding the treat." Taking the opportunity Anthony came to the point.
" Which treat?" Paul asked.
Probably he didn't understand or he was pretending so.
"He is talking about the girl." Ronald made it clear before Anthony could speak.
"By the way, did you enjoy the treat?" Anthony asked.
Everybody became serious. Anthony looked at their faces in confusion.
"Look the treat was good initially but at the end…"
"You know it happens sometimes that initially the food tastes nice but at the end, it starts tasting sour because of the settled salt at the bottom." Ronald completed Anthony's sentence.
" I am not getting what you're talking about." Anthony said looking at them in confusion."
Steven looked at Christopher and asked, " Shall we?"
" Why not he has the right to know, he is our partner in the act." Christopher said.
" What act?" Anthony couldn't wait to ask.
" Murder." Ronald said coldly.
" Don’t say 'murder' it was an accident." Paul interrupted him.
Anthony’s face became pale.
" Did you kill the girl?" Anthony somehow managed to ask.
" We ... We killed the girl." Christopher corrected him.
" Excuse me? Where do I stand in this? " Anthony tried to make clear.
"Look, if the police catch us, they will ask, who gave us the information about the girl." Ronald said.
"Then even if we don’t want to tell we'll have to." Paul completed the remaining sentence.
"...that our friend Anthony has helped us." Steven added.
" You are unnecessarily involving me." Anthony took the defending stance.
" Hey, one thing will be funny." Christopher said smiling darkly.
" What?" Ronald asked.
" If police hang us, we will not have much objection; we ate the cream. ... But this poor fellow will be hanged without a single taste." Christopher said.
Everybody except Anthony burst out laughing.
"Actually, I came here to get $2000 from each of you, but you people…" Anthony said.
" Hey, forget about it now... If everything would have gone according to the plan, in that case we would have given you the money. But, the girl got killed..." Ronald tried to convince him.
" Accidentally.." Steven added.
" Now to manage all this, money will be required." Ronald said.
" In fact, we were about to ask money from you to settle the case."
Everybody except Anthony burst out laughing.
Anthony’s face frowned; angrily he got up and walked off, slamming back the door.

" She was making too much noise, so I closed her mouth and I didn't know that I also closed her nose." Christopher clarified.
" What do we do now?" Steven asked.
Among them Steven and Paul seemed to be most horrified.
" If police catch us?." Paul expressed his concern.
" Just pretend nothing happened; we were here last night playing cards...Even if something goes wrong, we will manage it; this is not the first time we had to kill somebody" Christopher said pretending to be confident.
"But those were by you ... and were intended." Ronald said.
" What's the difference, killing is killing. " Christopher said.
Suddenly they sensed somebody's presence at the door followed by a gentle knock on their door. Everybody stopped talking and seized for few moments. They looked at each other.
Who it would be?
At this time of hour...
Could it be police?...
There was silence in the room, just plenty of questions sounding in their minds.
Christopher signaled Steven to check at the door. Steven went and opened the door cautiously. There stood Anthony in front of him. He gestured him to come in. Anthony entered and Steven closed the door.
Ronald poured Anthony a shot of whisky, " Hey, sit down and join us."
Anthony took the offered glass and sat across them.
" Cheers!" Ronald cheered colliding his glass with Anthony's
" Cheers!" Anthony also cheered and joined their company.

Steven saw the pipe and thought maybe they could be hiding in there.
He went closer to the pipe. He was about to bend down to look into the pipe when....
“ Steve, come here quickly.” Christopher called out him loudly.
Steven looked in that direction and ran off. John and Nancy sighed in relief hearing his departing footsteps.

As Steven left, John removed his mobile phone from his pocket. He had switched it off so that no one should be able to trace him. He switched it on and dialed a number. Nancy quizzically looked at him.
" Anthony, our classmate is from this town. " John said while hearing the ring tone from other side.
" Hello?" John said into phone as the phone was picked up on other side.
" Hey.... Where are you... everybody is looking for you here" Anthony's voice came from other side.
John told him the whole episode in short.
" Nancy and myself are trapped here..." John told him about the real problem.
" Trapped ? Where? " the voice came from other side.
" Some crooks are following us. I don't know where we are and I don't know what they want." John said.
Nancy signaled John at the clock tower which was visible from there.
" ..Yes it's near the clock tower.." John continued.
" Hey, don’t worry... Firstly calm down yourself...... In such a big town those culprits can't harm you in any way..." Anthony said.
" Yeah... you are right..." John felt relieved from his encouraging words.
" Do one thing... Flag a taxi down and tell the taxi driver to take you to the Hilton hotel. It's in that area ." Anthony said from other side.
They saw a taxi coming from opposite side.
" I got a taxi. OK bye I’ll catch you later on." John said and quickly cut the phone.
Both of them came out of the pipe. The taxi stopped in front of them as John hailed it.
They got into the taxi.
" The Hilton hotel." Anthony said and the taxi continued down the road.

“ Then why did you kill those four people?” Sam came to the point.
“ Because I loved her more than anybody could have loved her.” Anthony said proudly.
“ John also loved her, But, he did not kill them.” Sam tried to provoke him.

Online Books - Novel - Aghast CH 41 Anthony’s Narration

Sam and his associates were still gathered around Anthony. Anthony’s resistance was totally finished. Two of Sam’s associates had handcuffed him and were standing beside him. Anthony was bombarded with Sam’s series of questions, as everyone was curious to know one specific question.. that why he had killed those four culprits? Let the subsequent enquiry be conducted later on, but now they were curious to know the answer of this specific question at least.
Anthony also realized that there is no other way out than to speak up. He started to narrate his story -
... Those were John, Nancy and Anthony’s collage days. A teacher was teaching and among the students Nancy, John, Mary and Anthony were sitting. Anthony stole a glance at Nancy. Anthony got upset when he found Nancy stealing a glance at John.
I am the top student of the class...
Most of the girls would be glad to be my girl friends..
But the one who stole my heart is ignoring me...
His ego was crushing.
No it’s not possible...
May be she is unaware of the fact that I loves her..
I must find some way to reveal it to her...
When she would come to know it.... automatically she would start loving me...
Anthony thought.

It was afternoon. The college was just finished and Nancy was going home. Anthony followed her fast trying to catch her. As he was within reach, he called out loudly, “ Nancy..”
As she heard the voice coming from her behind, she turned to see Anthony. Anthony ambled and joined her.
“ Yeah! “ She replied, looking at him in surprise, because generally he never used to talk to her. And today was the exception; he was not only talking to her but also running behind her to catch her. She had special impression about him as he was topper in the class. Not only she all the girls in the class used to have a special regard for him.
“ Actually I want to tell an important thing...” He said.
Nancy looked at him, trying to read his expressions and continued walking. He also walked with her.
“ Actually ...” he tried to select the proper words, “ I mean... I want to propose you.. Will you marry me” He selected the important words and spoke out immediately.
She never expected that he would talk on such an issue.
He must be joking...
She again regarded his face, trying to learn his emotions.
From his face at least it was evident that he is not joking ...
“ I am serious” He said, sensing her confusion.
Again she tried to judge him. She knew him very well, as they were classmates. She was well aware of his nature. By nature he was shy and joking on such topic was not his style. And Nancy was exactly opposite. She was outspoken. Therefore she spoke out immediately, about her feeling about him. And she never thought of anybody else than John as she loved him very much.
“ Anthony I am sorry ... but ...I can’t” She said.
Anthony got a shock, as he never expected this.
Anthony looked at her face still in shock.
How can she so easily dismiss me....
His ego was totally shattered.
“ But why?... “ He asked in irritation.
She started to walk fast. He again ambled to join her.
“ Look, I am topper in the class, After this I am planning to do research in Neurology, I am having bright future ahead of me. If I could get a nice partner like you I am sure I will progress much..” He tried to convince her.
“ Anthony, you are nice, bright.. But I just can’t think of marrying you... “ She tried to console him.
“ You know... I love you...” Now he was pleading.
“ Still I can’t” She said.
“ But Why? ...” He shouted angrily.
“ Because I love somebody else... “ She said.
Nancy continued walking and Anthony waited back looking at her in frustration and despair.

As he turned completely and Sam saw his face, it was Anthony, John’s college friend.
Detective Sam with his officers slowly moved forward and surrounded him from all sides. Detective informed his teammates outside on wireless about killer’s arrest.

" Therefore we have devised a plan to get the killer as well as to protect the killer’s next target, Christopher.... Now I don’t think that there is way for the killer to escape "Sam said confidently.
" Last time you said the same thing and yet he was still able to kill Ronald." Christopher said bitterly.
" Mr. Anderson, I think first you should see the plan and then comment. " Sam snapped.
Detective switched on the projector. On the screen a diagram appeared.
" Until now, the killer was probably using a cat to execute the murders... I mean I am sure about it" Sam said.
Detective again pressed a key. On screen a clip art of a cat and a man working on computer appeared.
" The killer sitting here at the computer probably gave instructions, which were then transmitted with wireless technology, as we see a cat with a belt on its neck. There must be a receiver hidden in the belt, which could probably receive those instructions. Then those instructions must have been sent to cat’s brain. Following those instructions cat must be attacking the victim.. and I am dam sure that the murders executed till now must be executed in the same way"
Detective again operated a handheld wireless mouse laser pointer button. The screen went blank.
" This is how the killer is operating ... Now about our plan." Sam took a deep breath, kept aside the remote.
" The plan is divided into two parts. ... " Sam continued judging the reaction of the audience, " First part - to detect the cat and trace the origin of the signals. This way we will be able to locate the killer...." Again Sam took a pause for few moments and continued, " Second part - we will prohibit the cat to reach the victim i.e. Christopher’s bedroom, so that he will be protected."
Detective picked up the remote kept aside and operated the mouse button.
On screen a house layout plan appeared.
" This is Christopher’s house layout. We are going to divide the house in two regions. " Detective pointed two concentric circles in the diagram with the laser beam.
“ See in this diagram the first outer circle represents the first region and the inner concentric circle represents the second region.” Detective was pointing at the circles alternatively.
Then he steadied the pointer on the outer concentric circles shown in the diagram, “When the cat enters this outer region, we will be able to know its presence because we have fixed here the trackers and the signal receiver detector. “
Detective stopped the laser pointer, and fiddled with the device in his hand.
“ The signal tracer will find out the origin of the signal. Once we get the origin, we will be able to locate the killer and able to get him red handed. “Detective said.
Detective started the laser pointer and pointed on the inner concentric circles in the diagram, “When the cat reaches this inner second region, the signal blockers fixed there will block the instructions sent by the killer. Then he will not have any control over the cat. “
After he finished Detective regarded the mob sitting in front of him. The officers seemed to be convinced with the plan.
Detective particularly looked at Christopher, “ Do you have any questions Christopher? “
Christopher shrugged, as he seemed not to be convinced with the plan “ Let’s see.”
In fact he was very much disturbed and upset inside, and was not in mood to understand the plan. And it was quite obvious as he could see his name clearly next on the killer’s list. Detective looked at his team and instructed, “ So come on let's go and get to work.”

Online Novels – Aghast Ch 34 Did the puzzle solve?

Detective Sam was sipping a morning tea leisurely sitting in the foyer. Apparently, he was watching TV, but his mind was drowned in thought, probably about the serial killer case. The speed with which his thoughts were running, Detective was switching through the channels. Lastly he held on a cartoon channel. For a while he watched the cartoon channel, probably to ease him from the tensions. He then changed channel to Discovery channel; program seemed to catch his interest. He kept aside the remote and started to watch the channel with keen interest.

On discovery channel, a program was going on, in which a mouse was shown. The mouse wore a belt and miniature wires were connected to its head. The anchor narrated,
" Whenever a living organism makes an action, it is inspired by a signal to his brain. If we are successful in giving similar signal from outside to its brain, we will be able to control the organism and can instruct the animal to do various actions."
A computer was shown on TV. A scientist was sitting across the computer. Detective was still watching the program with interest. The scientist sitting across computer talked …
" Through this computer, we will transmit various signals to the chip, which sits on the mouse neck. Through that chip, the signal will be transferred to the mouse brain. Accordingly the mouse will act. "
The mouse was shown closely on the TV, with a minute chip hanged on his neck.
Detective Sam, astonished, with his mouth open looked at the TV.
The scientist talked further -
" There can be plenty of instructions and the corresponding signals. Right now, we are successful in giving few instructions to the mouse. "
On the computer software was running. The scientist operated the software and pressed ‘right’ button with a mouse pointer.
The mouse turned right and started running. Subsequently the scientist pressed ‘stop’ button with a mouse pointer. The mouse abruptly stopped. He then pressed ‘left button’ and the mouse turned left and started running in that direction. Next he pressed ‘jump button’, as a result of which the mouse jumped while running. When he pressed ‘stop button’ again, the mouse stopped in front of the eatables. As he pressed ‘eat button’, the mouse started eating eatables. Now again, he pressed ‘stop’ button, the mouse stopped eating. At last the scientist pressed the ‘attack’ button, the mouse started biting and rupturing the eatable in front of it without eating it.

Suddenly a flash of thought came in Detective Sam’s mind. He was recalling the past incidences one by one...

...When two police team members Richard and Eric were monitoring each and every activity in Ronald’s house on the circuit TV, a black cat jumped on a square box kept in the corner and the circuit TV’s went blank. And when they reached Richard's bedroom, they found him dead.

Detective drowned in thoughts, got up slowly. He remembered the next incidence...

... When Detective went to Ronald's bedroom for investigation, he bent down and checked under Ronald’s bed. He found two shining terrible eyes staring at him.
Then the eyes started coming closer to him and suddenly the eyes came abruptly to him as if the thing jumps on him. At that time he defended by bending aside and found a black cat, belt on her neck, came out, and ran out of the door.

Now every puzzle was getting solved in Detective's mind.
Now I should not waste time...
I must hurry...
Detective Sam darted out of his house for the next course of action.

The prison was covered in darkness. George was sitting in the corner of his cell drowned in thoughts. Suddenly George got up and started ripping his clothing.
He tore off his shirt. Out of the torn cloth, he made a doll. After finishing the doll, a menacing smile crept over his face.
“ Mr. Christopher Anderson, it's your turn now.” He said fanatically to the doll.
A police staff on duty darted to the phone to report to his senior.

Christopher was sitting in his foyer, drinking, and smoking in tension. He seemed to be tired. Lazily he got up and walked around in the room. He sat on a chair, drowned in thoughts. Suddenly he sensed somebody’s presence in the kitchen. The sound came as if somebody was dealing with kitchen utensils.
Who would be in kitchen, this hour of time?...
Every door and windows are already closed...
Or is this some kind of hallucination?..
Suddenly a loud sound came of a utensil falling on the ground from the kitchen.
He got up.
What’s this?...
His heart started pounding heavily.
I fear unnecessarily... It must be something else like cat or...
He tried to console and calm down himself.
Christopher slowly approached towards the kitchen. Silence! All sounds stopped.

Christopher opened the kitchen door ajar, peeked in.
There is nobody inside...
Warily he entered the kitchen, looked around, nothing. He took a walk round.
Where? There is nothing!...
Or, am I getting hallucinations?...
But there was a utensil fallen on the ground.
As he turned to go out, he heard something breaking from the foyer. Christopher startled, rushed towards foyer.

As he came in the foyer, he found his drink glass was fallen on the ground and broken, whisky soaking into the carpet. He looked around, nobody.
Christopher’s face started fading with menacing expressions. The effect of whisky was totally gone.
What's going on?...
What's happening to me?...
How the hell this glass fell on ground?...
He sat on the chair, drowned in thoughts. He picked up the whisky bottle and started to drink big swigs directly with the bottle.

English Entertainment - Novels - Aghast CH 32 One more twist

Detective Sam was sitting across from Detective Templeton, who had handled John’s death case.
Detective Templeton started to give information about the case, " His death has occurred due to bronchitis and over drinking."
" How did you recognize him?" Sam asked.
" The room in which his body was found, we found some documents too.. From which it was confirmed that he was John Carter... And one of his photographs circulated by Detective Baker to all police stations also came to us..." Detective Templeton removed a photograph from his drawer and kept it in front of Sam.
" This photograph and the information sent by Detective Baker made our job easy to find John's address and relatives" Templeton said.
" Had you contacted his parents?" Sam asked.
" Yes... we had called his parents ... Before taking the position of the body they had confirmed about his identity... Post-mortem also have identified him as John Carter, 22." Templeton said.
" When did he die? ... I mean how many days before you found him dead" Sam asked.
" According to post-mortem, it must have been early March. " The officer said.
"March. " Detective Sam pondered over and realized, " Shit, around the time the first murder was executed. ...That means he is not the killer."
" It seems. " Templeton confirmed.
Some time passed without any conversation.
It means the thing I doubted is going to be true...
When Sam had received information about John Carter from his partner, he was very delighted...
He had thought, at last, once for all the case was going to be solved, as the killer was going to be caught by them.
But when he reached here the case had taken one more twist.
Looking at the death time of John Carter, there was no chance at all of John Carter being the killer.
" If John Carter is not killer... Then who is ?" as if Sam asked to self.
All the people present in the cabin looked at each other with apprehensive silence as none of them knew the answer.
Detective Templeton removed one more photograph from his drawer and placed it in front of Sam. Sam picked it up, looked closely at it for a while. It was the photograph of John carter fallen on the ground and
there was something written with blood on the ground in front of the corps. It read, “ I am sorry Nancy, I could not save you. But you don’t worry I shall have revenge.”
Sam had got why Detective Templeton wanted to show him the photograph.
" I am just sick of listening that there is involvement of some ghostly powers in these murders... Did you wanted to say the same thing showing me the photograph? " Sam asked Templeton.
Detective looked at Sam and his partner's face alternatively.
" No ... I don't want to say anything... I Just wanted to bring in your notice how the message written on the floor and the incidences happening are matching exactly.. “Templeton said.

Horror Novels - Aghast CH 31 John Carter

Detective Sam looked at the display of his ringing mobile. It was his partner; he attended it.
" Yes''
" Sir we have got the whereabouts of Mr. John Carter... Nancy's friend"
" Good, very good" Sam said enthusiastically.
Sam's partner gave Sam the address and asked him to come down quickly.

.... John Carter was lying on his bed, coughing wildly. His beard was grown and his grown hairs were messed. It seemed he was lying like this on the bed from so many days and may not be going outside often.

When Nancy was raped and murdered he was very much depressed and upset and was not sure about what to do next. He felt from the bottom of his heart that the culprits must be punished. But how?, he was not sure about. John roamed around on the dark streets in the night, or stood at the beach in the evening looking at the setting sun. Probably he thought that his situation was quite similar to the setting sun. It had became his regular practice to roam around in the city in day time and after he tired in night he used to sit in the bar, drinking uncontrollably. But for how many days it would continue. Slowly his roaming around decreased and his drinking increased. Gradually he lost his health badly and became so weak that now he even could not get up from the bed. Though he was on bed he didn't left drinking. As soon as he used to loose the effect of drink, he used to recall all terrible memories of Nancy's rape and murder. And then he used to drink again.

John was lying on the bed, coughing badly. He tried to get up, seemed to be very weak. In an attempt to stand up, he fell down on the ground, the coughing continued.
Blood came out of his mouth while coughing. He checked his mouth, it was blood. He got scared.
I must go to doctor...
But how can I go when I am so weak?...
I should call out and gather the neighbors...
But he was so weak that he even could not speak out.
What should I do?...
Lastly he took a decision. With the blood in his hand, he started writing something on the ground...

A man talked in phone, " Hello, police station?"
He waited for the response from other side.
" Sir, I haven’t seen my neighbor in seven days.... We have tried knocking his door, but there is no response. There’s an awful smell coming from his apartment and I think we need someone to come check it out " The man said.
The man again waited for the response from other side.
" Thank you." the man disconnected the phone.

A police team headed by Detective Templeton reached the address given by the man. They found the man waiting for them. He escorted them to a flat, front door closed. As soon as they reached there they covered their noses to avoid from the bad smell. They knocked the door. No response. The door seemed to be latched from inside. They knocked again but still no response. At last they kicked the door open. They covered their nose, as the smell intensity grew. Slowly they entered the house.

Inside the bedroom police saw a decomposing corpse fallen on the ground. Holding their nose tight, they went near. There was something written on the ground in front of the corps. One of the police team members went forward and read -
“ I am sorry Nancy, I could not save you. But you don’t worry I shall have revenge.”
