“Can you two please tell me where I can confirm my identity here?”

“Do you know who I am? Can you please mention my name?”

I came back to the present state of my mind and asked them straightforwardly:

“What was the objective behind this stuff? Why were you three not telling me that we were under Kingston’s blackmail”

“Because, initially the four of us were equally meant to plant the bomb. Now we were hoping we could place the entire responsibility over you”

I waited for him to speak further. He said:

“And it did happen quite successfully. I told Mr. Kingston that Henry was not willing to trust us.

After this, Mr. Kingston thought of a way to earn your trust trust.

And hence he entered inside the game and earned your trust”

Everything was clear now but I was very furious on these people and wanted to burn them with fire. Unfortunately I was helpless as usual.

“Poor Henry” Lisa teased me, “you were looking out for your identity which you already had. And that desperation ended you up here”

“You guys were normal civilians” I responded, “why were you enjoying this? This man is a leader of some terrorist group. His actions are understandable, but you three”

“We did not kill anyone” Roald responded, “neither did we cooperate in this. You did this on your own.

Why we’re happy right now is not because we enjoyed a criminal activity, it’s because we will be free forever right now. After we are done with you, Mr. Kingston has given us his word that he will release us along with our documents”

I looked at Mr. Kingston, he was nodding after him.

“I simply cannot let this happen” I spoke getting provoked on Mr. Kingston, “I just cannot let him win. I will be arrested, I will be hanged to death, I have no problem with that. But him fleeing alive like an innocent person, I will stop that from happening however I can. I’ll go to the police and tell them everything”

Mr. Kingston laughed maniacally and pointed his gun straight towards my face.

Respected Ma’am,

Pardon me, but this is getting really unfair. I have been submitting my tasks with punctuality throughout this time and yet I am not getting my rights. Please do something about my salary as I am getting disappointed now.

Mr. Kingston’s plan

He secretly acquired their documents and after meeting four them gave them a task of crime.

It failed because of an accident and Henry lost his memory.

He then asked remaining three to bring Henry back to his mind and continue task.

The three considered hiding their identities from Henry, because in case police would catch Henry.

The three did their best to make Henry comfortable,

but failed when documents issue was raised, they had to remain silent as they couldn’t reveal about Mr. Kingston.

Luke told Mr. Kingston that Henry did not trust them; Kingston thought of a way to earn his trust.
