EPISODE 21 - THE END OF INNOCENCE

John had one few cents left that he could not even make a call back with his mobile. With all the people crowding the street though, he dreaded the wait he would inevitably endure in the checkout at the checkpost near Ellen’s house. John rounded the corner to get into the next aisle, when a newly familiar face caught his attention. Wasn't that his cop friend? He was minus the brown cowboy hat, but those ruggedly youthful good looks couldn't have belonged to anyone but George.

For a moment, John watched George and the small boy beside him. That must be Ryan. He stared at the child’s black hair and brown eyes, admiring his sweet smile, and the way he tried to help John by clearing the way so that John could make his way back home quick.

John smiled at the boy, and he smiled back without a moment's hesitation.

After a long drive, John reached with a fear and tension

Someone behind John murmured something about them blocking the aisle to his house, forcing him to move away from the small gate with expressive brown eyes. "It was nice meeting you, John" A voice said from behind, it was nearly 2 months since we were searching for u; U Fraudulent Bitch! Hey Mind your words shouted John with a trembling and tensed tone.

But John didn’t know who they were and what do they want, soon John came to from that guy that he is a body guard of Sebastian’s father and he has come to take John along with his for tribulation …but y ??I didn’t do anything, I think u have come to a wrong address said John, No!! Exclaimed a Voice, it was none other than Sebastian’s. It was almost 4 months since Kenneth visited John’s place and 2 months since he spoke to John. So everything was a Mystery to Him. Soon John understood that Kenneth showed his criminal turrets and tricks to Sebastian. But John failed to Judge his arrogant nature which he possess now.”Oh shit, what the hell did he do??”Angrily shouted John... Sebastian with a raised tone said”He did what u said “and who the hell are you to question him? In this Juncture Wilson got too furious and shouted at John for bringing such a bad scenario “Either u go along with them or send them outta here ”This is my office quarters and I don’t want any quarrel/trouble out here. Have I made myself clear??

“Yes dad I understand “said John Monotonously.

Soon John was surrounded by 3 mobsters who was working for attorney .Since he was from a political back ground he had influence in underworld people which he used against John;

But John was still on confusion whether he Kenneth knew this matter or not?? Soon he was taken along in their car and it was almost 10pm when they departed John’s place. Inside the car John was shocked to see Kenneth in the back seat. It was then he understood everything. Kenneth and Sebastian were on a deal and John was the fool out here. The deal was using my name Kenneth would deliver a seconds system to Sebastian’s father stating that it is a new system and they would share the profit from that also Kenneth played a more crucial role that he took away the old system that Sebastian’s father was using and he also make profit from that. But Sebastian didn’t mind that and things went on smooth until Sebastian’s dad wanted his odd hard drive back as he had all his asset details and other official details stored in it. But since Kenneth deleted all those data, to add to the problem he sold it to another customer. Now he got no other way to escape, he easily took leave from college and had a pleasant outing everyday with his girlfriend with the money that he had earned.

At last after a long search they found Kenneth’s place and then when asked about the old system, Kenneth managed to spin another story that John had sold that to a customer so he only knew where it is. So it was from there only John was termed a robber. All these things were said to John by Sam-john’s college mate and a best friend of Kenneth but this time john decided not to show mercy. The chauffeur asked where to stop to pick up the computer, I was then Kenneth opened his mouth and said “stop in my place , I have the system there only ” With a thoughtful mind and lifted eyebrows the chauffeur asked “What in your house ?? When we asked you said John only knows where it is??” You cheat, I’ve never come across such a worst character in my life time, saying so he picked up the system and slapped Kenneth. All this happened in front of Kenneth’s parents. John stood in front of them like a dumb person, he thought he could put Kenneth in right track, but he miserably failed, so he couldn’t face them. On the other hand Kenneth’s parents regretted for putting John in such an unpleasant situation.

Leaving Kenneth and Sam; John started off again towards Sebastian’s house. It was the worst day in his life time. Reaching Sebastian’s place which was thoroughly guarded by tight private security and mobsters John being young and alone in that place felt lonely and a slight fear creeping his neck he walked into the house. Sebastian walked out to his bedroom for a peaceful sleep, having put all the burdens on John.

Sebastian’s dad didn’t meet john, he had his assistant to convey the message. John learned that the assistant is totally drunk and whatever his boss said he just kept on repeated it to John. John felt uncomfortable and irritated by that man. John tried collecting few info’s contained in the hard disk. He came to know that the old hard disk contains all his IT and other details like his donation’s, his everyday expenses and above all this even the money which did not come in (Black money)and that is the reason for his frustration and urgency. John tried hard to get the data back but he could only recover 50% of the data. It was almost 2am and hence john was set free to go home with a serious threat that he would kill John if he doesn’t turn up the next day by 8am.John was picked up by their car while coming but now he had to walk all the way back home. With a stressful Mind and broken heart John walked towards Home. He had to walk about 15Miles which will take approx 90 mins for him to reach if he walks continuously. On the way back home he was caught up by the cops on terrorist suspicion. Somehow John managed to answer them and started again but the polis warned him about the robbers on the way. So he was advised not to take shortcuts or roads which don’t have street lights .But again he caught to a patrol vehicle and this time his name was registered but somehow John referring his cop friend’s name escaped the punishment for breaking the police advice. He was made to wait in the same place till the dawn and then he was allowed to go around 5am.HE hardly had time to start again as he had to be there again at 8am.When he reached home he was shocked to see his parents sitting the whole night waiting for his arrival.

“I have never been confronted with such an unbelievable act of sabotage by any customer toward the recovery of their computer data” Said by Mr. Wilson to Sandra. On seeing John their agitation got deeper and they started scolding and crying to John, they even asked John to leave off the business after this incident. But John said I still have more work to do, so I gotta leave soon. Saying so he prepared himself without listening to Sandra’s hollering. In fact he didn’t want to pressurize by telling how John was being menaced.
