Secret revealed

Secret revealed

A Chapter by Surya

As usual, I started for a morning walk. The early morning atmosphere makes my day. It was six in the morning when I started from my room. As I shut the door, on my way out, I saw Logan's door still open with lights on. I thought he had gone mad about the case and it was better not to disturb him. So I moved on. It was a foggy, cold morning and perhaps, a beginning of the winter. Me with my black hat, favourite sweat shirt, hands gliding together to gather warmness while walking across the streets, enjoying peaceful nature while I reached my final place. The morning sun arose above the lake and I sat on a bench nearer to the lake, with a gentle smile on my face.
"Wow, what a feel it is, Logan missed it I guess."
Sometime, after this pleasant scenery makes a way to noon. I'm on my way back to home. Finally I reached home, picked up the newspaper and moved straight into the kitchen. Then I started preparing coffee.I kept thinking of the beautiful aroma it gives. Two cups of coffee, one for me and another for Logan. I don't knew what was the thing that made Logan so busy. Yet I dared to enter his room finally to serve him a cup of coffee. I just felt that he would be sleeping but he was seated on his chair when no one dares to sit on it. Logan still stared at the wall where he had placed his notes and points that he had reached with some photographs in the case he worked on. He wore a white shirt with a black trouser, smoking and he was in his own world thinking and thinking. That made me feel that he was deeply involved with his data and theories on a brilliant case. 'Logan.' I called him, but no reply.
'Logan, Mr. Ben Logan.' I shouted.
'Yeah, Good morning Robert, why are you shouting.'
'Oh!God, Show some mercy on him' I thought. 
'Have this coffee my friend, you will be relaxed,' I told as I handed him the cup of coffee.
'Hmm, a nice one again, I say you can be a better chef, I swear on it.'' 'Ohh!Thank you.'
But he was still staring at the board, he didn't even give me a look. And I finally asked him
'May I know what is that, you are deeply involved with ?'
'On the case Rob.....Ohh! wait, wait a second!'
'Yeah of course, But, why , what has happened ?'
He stood up from his chair with a pretty smile on his face with an excitement and yelled,'That's it Rob, We did it...we did it!'
'But what ?'
'How did I miss that ?'
He was speaking in his own way, paying no attention to my words. 'Logan, may I know what did you miss and why are you screaming like a mad scientist who discovered an alien in his own room ?' I said with a smile even though I didn't have any on my face, but I managed.
'It's a clue Rob, It's a clue.'
'What ? A clue ! A clue for ?'
'A clue to solve it Rob.' 
I was out of mind on his variant expressions and his yelling. I don't knew what to speak.
'Solve what ?' I asked.
He stared at me with a stupid look that irritated me and finally he spoke up.
'A clue I am waiting for to solve the case of a mystery murder.'

This is definitely a gripping story and I would like to see where it leads to.

The place where you write "pretty smile on his face" felt somewhat weird to me. Like guys don't have a pretty smile, do they? As in you don't use "pretty" to describe a smile on a guy's face.. Just my opinion..

I enjoyed reading this. Good work :)

Thank you for your time Apoorva ji, Thanks a ton.
You've done a good job starting this story with a true-to-life morning experience between these two people. The dialogue is well-done & natural-sounding. I especially love the line: "like a mad scientist who discovered an alien" (creative & unexpected) . . . in fact, I think this story would do well to have MORE of these imaginative expressions, to spice up the more mundane daily interactions between these two. Good luck in continuing your story with more interesting reveals about this murder mystery!
