Return Of Shadow (Part 4)

In this chapter the main character of the Story comes back to that town where all the incidents were occurring, and starts the investigation....

After that he went toward the city, after making arrangement of spending night in a hotel, he went to bazaar to enjoy and know more about the culture of the city. He wandered till late night in the streets; he looked many areas and parks of the city. Then he went to hotel for rest.

          Then on the third day morning Shamraiz went to Shadow’s home and then both of them arrived to airport.

          Next morning they reached that town back from where this story begun. Shadow’s many old memories were affiliated with this town. But with good memories there were also some painful memories which forced him to leave this town few years ago, but now after years he came here again, and his memories where again fresh as they were the incidents of a few days ago.

          After taking rest till noon they became fresh. For lunch they went to a nearby hotel. Discussion starts as..

Shamraiz: Now what is your opinion? From where should we stat the investigation? Time is too short for us to investigate….

Shadow: I will investigate about this case in my way, to reveal the truth in front of all is my responsibility, and I will do it at any cost its my promise, all you have to do is that you have to help me when and what I say. And why did you say that we have short time to investigate?

Shamraiz: Because each corpse is found after an interval of 2 weeks and today is 13^th day from the last.

Shadow: So you want to say that today’s night is someone’s last night? Can you show me the corpse which was found 13 days ago?

Shamraiz: Yes… But the Hospital where that corpse is kept, is at the drive of 2 hours from here.

Shadow: Then what? Let’s do it, we will be back till night.

          After lunch they arrive to the nearby town where that corpse was kept in a hospital’s morgue. Shamraiz showed him all the corpse found, Shadow took a bird’s eye view then he went out. After coming out from hospital…

Shamraiz: What happened?

Shadow: It’s clear that human or any alive thing is not involved in this; it’s some unknown force, an unknown source of power…

Shamraiz: So any solution of this?

Shadow: These entire corpses are many days old so energy signatures are much weaker; a very little information is present in these energy signatures, which is not enough to know or distinguish about that unknown power. All I knew is that whoever is doing all this is taking revenge.

Shamraiz: Now what’s next?

Shadow: Wait for tomorrow…

          In the evening they reached back. Shadow told Shamraiz that he wanted to meet the person who sent you China for searching me for your work.

          It was evening and was getting dark. Only 1-2 Hours were left in the night but Shamraiz decided to take him to that Old man.

          They started to walk along the road towards the jungle. When they entered in the jungle, then Shadow asked Shamraiz about the map of the jungle, but he replied that the map of the jungle is not yet developed. Then Shadow started walking calmly. In the mid way Shadow stopped suddenly. It was getting dark enough and visibility was getting nearly to zero. Weather was getting colder and harsher. Shamraiz asked him why he stopped. He replied that now I will show you my reality, a reality which gave me my name “Shadow”. But don’t run with fear.

          He put two middle fingers of his left hand on his forehead, and started reading something in very low voice. Shamraiz was looking him very attentively and was trying to understand what he is reading. After 2 to 3 minutes a reflection of Shadow started to appear in front of him, which was much faint in the starting but started getting opaque with time. In front of him he made a clone of himself which looks same like him, then Shadow became normal. He told Shamraiz that due to my ability of making this Shadow clone I got the name “Shadow”. I am real but my clone is not it is only my reflection, you can only see it, you can’t touch it. I can do those works with this shadow clone which I am unable to do with my body. It increases my power to very high level, it can travel as faster as light. By closing my eyes I can see what are in front of that clone’s eyes. It can see those things and energy signatures which human cannot.

          Then the shadow clone disappears again and they started walking again. After a few minutes they reached that old man’s home.

          The Old man was sitting near burning fire in front of his home.

Old man: So you are here… I though you will not come.

Shadow: I am not here for you; I am here only to help the peoples.

Old man: Ooohh…! So what you want from me?

Shadow: Nothing, just want to ask that what did you and my father got from magic? Today your condition is worse than beggar.

Old man: I leaved all that…I realized that me and your father was wrong. Now to realize it I am living here so far from peoples. I realized that me any your father was wrong, he was burning in fire of revenge, and I was in greed of money. Your father who wanted to spend his whole life with his child and wife was betrayed by life, and I wanted to get money and power, now I am dying with hunger and feebleness.

Shadow: do you want to do any good deed in order to realize that you were on wrong path? I can give you one chance but if you betrayed me then you know me better.

Old man: I am ready to do anything you want me to do. I will never try to betray you its promise.

Shadow: Whenever I will send my shadow clone to you then immediately come to me.

          Then Shadow and Shamraiz set off. The way to back was very tough and harsh. It took so long to reach back to hotel. Then Shamraiz took his way to his room to take rest because he was too tired now.

          Shadow also went to his room. He spent whole night in thinking something, he was sitting near firearm.

          Sometime was left in the morning, and it was still dark. Shamraiz was still sleeping. All at sudden the door bell rang, which took him out of dreams. As he opened the door he found Shadow there.

Shamraiz: What happened?

Shadow: which was going to be happened? Hurry up if we became late then we will miss this chance again.

Shamraiz: I will be ready in 5 minutes.

          Then Shadow and Shamraiz started to walk on the way which was along the jungle. After a while Shadow turned on a way which was going inside the jungle.

On a distance of few meters they saw a man lying in the snow. He was near to death. Shamraiz went near and try to ask that how did he come here and what was happened with him? But he was unable to reply him, and Alas! In a few moments he died. Shadow was standing still, looking all this, it seems that he has no effect of this horrible incidence.

Shamraiz: If you already knew what was going to happen then why you didn’t told me, maybe we could help him, may we could save him…

Shadow: My Shadow clone was wandering here since late night, but this jungle is so huge that only one shadow clone is not enough to look all the places at a same time, I missed the incident but now I knew who is behind this, and where we can find him?

Shamraiz: Then what are you waiting for?

Shadow: Sunlight….

Shamraiz: Why?

Shadow: Anyone who killed him is not actually present physically, but energy signature could be found so that thing is not alive, it may be evil or any other power. It cannot face sunlight so it comes in night and all the accidents occurred in dark. If we went there now then we can lost him.

Shamraiz: Okay where is that place and how did you know that we can find him there with this strong believe?

Shadow: I followed his energy signatures with my shadow clone, they took me to a waterfall, behind that waterfall there is a cave. According to my calculation, on the entrance of that cave sunlight falls only for 1 or 2 hours, and we have only those two hours for our work to be done. Because at that time he cannot escape due to sunlight on the entrance of the cave, then he has to give answers of my questions, but…

Shamraiz: But?

Shadow: You cannot go there; it’s not safe for you. He cannot do anything with me due to my specific powers but you are not safe there…(After thinking something for a few moments) Okay you can come with me, I found a solution…

Shamraiz: What is the solution?

Shadow: Do you know that my father was a magician? He had a pearl, which has some magical powers; any magical power cannot harm the person who had that pearl.

Shamraiz: but your father died many years ago so now how can we find that pearl?

Shadow: The person, who told you about me, has the pearl…

Shamraiz: You mean that Old man?

Shadow: Yes, I had sent my Shadow clone to call him here with the pearl, you should follow the police procedure about this corpse, I am going to take some rest until Old man reaches here. We have 8 hours remaining to get the chance.

Shamraiz: okay we will leave as the old man reaches…

          After 2 hours Old man reached there with the pearl, he handed over it to Shadow. And the journey Starts….
