Blood Red Lipstick - Chapter 2

As Aaron Drove his car, he calmed himself down, This was not him! He was a calm and reserved person! This case was getting to him. I guess I ought to shed some light on past occurrences,

A few weeks. ago, a lot of murders all over India started happening! And The people getting murdered, Were only and strictly only In the Military. Frist a 40-year-old General on the verge of retirement was found dead! next, a Young, newly Appointed Lieutenant was dead in the same manner. The murders All had no trace of evidence, Almost as if they hadn't happened except for, Two Things.

The Murderer would leave behind The Victim's last words on tape and a dead animal. To the Murderer this is some sort of game! And it disgusted Aaron as people were on the line. 2 days ago the worthless detectives did one Worthwhile thing, They realized that 5 minutes before the Murder takes place The Murderer Places a message on the net, About his next murder, Like he was giving the Police a headstart. But still, they had not been able to Catch him, or even come close to finding out who he was! And then The Blood etched words on Aaron's walls appeared. They immediately knew he was the next target. So 20/7 Where ever, he went whatever he did was recorded. Even Now as he drove his car, behind him he had Two Bodyguards Tailing him. 

What confused him the most was the fact that the detectives and police were not even trying to catch the murderer! only now because Aaron was the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, They were lifting a Finger.

Aaron parked his car and walked out. As he strode towards the cafe, He tried to like Shalini Said, Think like a killer! He thought to himself. If I was the Murderer, what would I be doing? 'I don't know kill myself? Since I was the next victim?' he shrugged off the thoughts. when he entered the cafe to his surprise, it was empty, which was hard to ever find in Modegar, The only person in the room, was a man, Around 30ish, with Black hair, and Brown eyes. He had high cheekbones and a fair complexion, he wore glasses. Something about this guy had a calming effect. he was like, every other politician in the country wearing a White Kurta. 

Aaron walked over to him and took a seat, The Man said while Smiling warmly "Hi Aaron Khatri! Sorry for meeting you on such short notice!"

Aaron returned the smile as he said, " No, No Worries at All! I wonder how many meetings you might have taken off Just to meet me!"

Ritvik said as he shrugged off the reply Aaron gave, "Oh None really! After this, I have a meeting, With someone I don't want to meet!"

Aaron asked curiously, "May I ask, Who?"

"The 12th Richest man on earth" He answered in disgust.

"Oh!" Aaron said He did not want to push the topic further.

Ritvik then said,

"So Aaron, I called you here 'cause I needed to tell you something! I can give You Somewhat a tip. Think in a different way."

Aaron sighed Frustrated "I know, I've tried but it just does not.... like... Strike.. um! You get what I'm trying to say!"

"No Aaron, To be honest, I don't get what you mean, but Listen here, The murderer, Gave you a literal Warning, Not one on the internet 5 minutes before you died. He gave you a warning in your own Home! then all the Police, Detectives Start focusing on you! How would the Killer use that to his Advantage?"

That was when It dawned on Aaron "He's Using This as a Distraction! While He commits the Ataul Muder!"

Ritvik smiled And said "Bingo!"
