Scene 1 Stadium, evening sun spreads its wings of shadows and light on to the arrays of white carts which has clothes, food and beverages to display for the shoppers who seems to walk along browsing through while some loners are having a taste of the cold beer and of course the human made galleries, the green grass courts with borders of red clay. The famous grass court of Poseidon Wimbledon lies a little in wards from the pool and the stream that runs along the valley.
This nature made pool was redesigned by a multi millionaire named Luis Ven Perez. Bought this valley of 1000 hectare and redesigned and named it after his daughter’s name “Posei” short for this country named “Poseidon,” which is about 24,00,0000 hectares. That is another epic yet to be told, how Zeus and Apollo blessed this country to foot herself. The land which was raised from the North Pacific Ocean, when you face the world map in the northern eastern side almost 12,012 sq km away from Alaska, North USA, and Canada, more than 15,777 sq km or so much away from north western Russia and Asia, below the island continent on south western area lies Australia and New Zealand and on the south eastern lies the Hawaiian Island, then further along lies Mexico & South USA. It lies exactly on a straight line below Gambell, St. Lawrence Island, and Bering Sea, Alaska. It has a shape of a Scallops Sea Shell shape like a fan spread from a mount with a small crater kind opening at the top. It's having a half underground half above the water touching the ground opening or channel like the shell of the land snail (*Scallops & Land Snail shells are of the family of Mollusc or Mollusk shell). This island sometimes weeps or triumphs in the late night. This may be because of the sound echoed up through the crater from the opening below. This call is part of every living beings of that Island. The land side where the fan side of the shell touches is the ground level for 2
Kings Of Hades
the island which is shaped as a blade side of an old buccaneer’s cutlass which has many eroding as worn out blade. Which gives a look of many inner stream lines and curvatures of an inland water lines in between lands to form independent beaches or shore lines. On the first look from sky it gives the look of a Sword or a worn out Cutlass of long lost buccaneer. The greens and the concrete or wooden houses and buildings among them are like small buds or flowers in between the vegetations. A beautiful Island for which God-the father above took his own patient beautiful creative craftsmanship’s time in creating it for the Mother above which is the most powerful form of Gods because of Love and Compassion. He will painfully shed tears of blood at the happenings at hand on his well crafted land away from all hurry burry, Fast and furious lands which lay around it as shield of protection. Scientist say why it is hard to navigate by flight or cruise is that there are very high magnetic fields around there. Only an experienced seafarer or a pilot can navigate to get to that island. Only non-metal objects are easy to navigate to here. This is the mystical island told by the Mayan’s and by Red-Indian inscriptions. Olden Vikings, Barbarians and the next mythological Macedonians and others travelled a lot to this island of dreams and riches. They have many fairy tales or reality stories to share. Those ballads will be sung again as stories yet to come from where this one has arisen.
21st century stars from yester century, yet shining bright for the nation. Coach Rudy Baskins is giving instruction to Miss Styx Windsor. Styx is and has been the princess on grass and clay courts ever since she has entered the world of tennis. While they are at the pool discussing the future strategies and techniques of the game, the eyes from galleries are on them, the greatest coach and the four times Mermaid tennis title winner, the Mermaid princess Styx of Poseidon.
Styx (A librarian’s reference: Her name meant literally Hateful. The river in her name was the most holy and sacred but her water was still deadly, dangerous, and powerful altogether fatal to mortals, yet the dead must pass 3
ROcean
through this river to achieve nirvana this was the most holy oath a God could make, an honor given by Zeus to Styx.)
After the first lap of the swim in the “Posei” pool she came to rest her hand and peer from the edges of the pool to the grand entrance of the water city through the gap between the legs of the Coach Baskins who is standing at the edge and bellowing the instructions to her and other junior tennis champions who has tagged along with them. Her beautiful round eyes sparkles with divine light of expectation of an arrival of a prince of grass court Wimbledon Ares Kartos.
Ares (A librarian’s reference: Ares was the Greek god of war and destruction. He is one of the Twelve Olympians, and the son of Zeus and Hera. In Greek literature, he often represents the physical or violent aspect of war, whose functions as a goddess of intelligence include military strategy and generalship. He was a dangerous force, "overwhelming, insatiable in battle, destructive, and man-slaughtering” that he is the god most hateful.)
Ares just like his name a living example of battle strife and ruination or destruction with all this beautiful combination he is the betrothed one to Styx. The courtship which prolonged for years and the cherished dream of tying a knot of trust and love is going to take place in two days. It’s a wonder for me and the crowd around to understand the play of cupid. This is a funny Shakespearean play which is going to take place. Completely different cones joining to become one stone for the foundation of life together even Gods might be enjoying this cook up. No extra explanation needed on why Ares is also called as ‘Luckares (pronounced as Luck-Ass by few jealousy fans/friends).’
‘Coach! Ares has come. I’m going to the dressing wagon. While 4

running towards the wagon Styx shouted the reason to Rudy.
Watching her beautifully shinning legs, voluptuary bosom and pleasing curves the young man nearby told aloud ‘Enchanting chick!’ ‘By the look of those rippling muscles on hand and legs, she will have, Good stamina.’ Another one commented.
Styx smirked at them, as she floated across the lawn towards the wagon as if she has heard the first comment.
‘Did you see her smile? The smile that kills. Felt like sucking those lips and to bite her lovingly. Everything of hers makes you shiver with passion. Ares is lucky! She has gone buddy! Nothing interests us here, youngsters left.’ I remained to let you know the progress of their life graph.
She came out of the wagon wearing a light blue cotton jeans and white cotton shirt with tan cowboy boots.
‘Am I late?’
‘No’
Ares took a Kit Kat from jacket pocket and said ‘Have a Break.’
‘Oh! Nice…. Thank…you’ she opened the wrapper and started to bite on 5

‘Rudy, being your coach thinks himself as big person. He portrays a high egocentric character to others.’ Ares commented while driving.
‘Coach made me what I’m today, nothing could replace that and that’s what I believe.’
‘Styx, don’t say that’ You know yourself that even if the coach is good and the trainee is a knucklehead, the knucklehead will never come up, it’s in you that fire and determination to become what you are now, which made you and that which I like in you. You’re that energy which bestows on me and stimulates to face life as it takes me.
‘Rudy doesn’t like me marrying you.’

Tried to stop me, seeing me not budging from the decision he gave up.
‘What happened to your Ferrari?’
‘Oh!’ it got smashed in an accident, lucky Rudy got out without any scratch. He was fully drunk that day and wanted to visit his family took my vehicle and went.
That was an excellent car, who presented you with that?
That multimillionaire Luis Ven Perez, personally I haven’t met him. I have invited him for our wedding.
‘Daddy and Mummy went against this marriage. Their point of difference was that I should wait after the next Grand Slam. They are at an opinion that if I play and win one more Grand Slam I will get lot of name and fame outside the country which will fetch me lots of money and international exposure.’ She looked at Ares, no response from him. She continued: ‘People around are a bit jealousy!’ they think a marriage at such young stage can bring down the stamina. You have to achieve lots in this field, look at some who got married and left the court.
‘What do you feel? Close your eyes just look into your heart and we will do what it says.’ Ares suggested.

They have reached the hotel they are staying went to the restaurant ordered food. While waiting for the food to be served Ares enquired the real reason for the parents to object.
I was the source of their comforts; my marriage can bring the dryness of the source of comforts and luxury.
May be everything will change after the wedding. We will get married at the church in Pitys. Pitys is beautiful with those pine trees occasional snowing. We will have the tea party kept at parish hall and ground nearby. The orphaned kids at the parish orphanage too will join us. It will be good blessing for us Styx. Don’t you think?
‘Yes’
Maybe some few friends and cousins from my side will be there but I’m looking forward to see my brother Ramzi.
Styx looked at him with a question.
I haven’t told you about Ram. Our father is one but mother different. Ram’s mother died when he was young. My mother was a dictator to him. He never held that as a reason to hate me. He loved me like another part of him. I think so he might have felt very lonely those days. One fine morning I came to know that Ram has ran away from the house and for couple of days there were enquiries from the local Chief and the army department. This all happened while I was visiting granny 8
Kings Of Hades
at Pitys. Why did he leave and where is he and what is he? Styx inquired.
That is a long story. I’ll explain some other time. He never sticks to a place for long. Every Christmas he sends me greetings from different places like Bombay, Italy, Japan, Mexico and the list may go on, after 12 years I get to see him at our wedding. As for his profession I haven’t any slightest idea. I have heard in some parts he is a scary dream, which I can never fathom to digest it into my brain since I know as pleasant, soft hearted straight forward person. He gets angry only when pushed into a corner and let God forbid anyone to be near him those times. Those are times he is like volcano bursting after long going rumble inside.
Styx felt he was very happy when he talks of his brother, as if a son explains about his successful father. They left the dinner table for their room. From nowhere some paparazzi showed up taking photos and enquiring the invitation for paper and TV reporters. Nice to you see you together! ‘Congratulation’
‘Thank you’ ….. ‘Thank you’ and as for the invitation inquiry Ares said: ‘No. This is not sports but our Life!’
Ares caught Styx hand trying to push his way around the crowed which formed in front of them while enquiry goes on an interview please. ‘No interview’ Styx says. Where is the honeymoon? ‘On Southern Alps Along its west coast’ said Ares? Laughing together they went inside the room and locked it. Adjacent room is hers.

Ares with Styx alongside him switched on the TV. The room felt cold and cozy with Mermaid princess along with him. He was awakened by the sweet voice of her.
‘Hey!’ Ares this is the tournament you created the record and sat on the bed facing the TV. In TV Ares has just won the match, he was running on the court pulling of his T-shirt and fanning it above his head and threw at the crowd who were standing to applaud and share his win. Suddenly as inspired by the inner call she ran to the TV and hugged her beloved along with the TV set.
Ares had removed his suit and was standing there on his jockey shorts watching this sudden explosion of emotions from his mermaid, while she was enjoying the preview of her Greek God’s well structured muscles on the thighs, hands and chest and the light brown hair on his chest and body which gives a tinkles on her skin while imagining the pink areolas and nipples getting caressed by them. The thoughts were firing up her vulva and labia walls. He was in search of short pants; someone just opened the door a bit to peek in to enquire ‘Are you Mr. Ares Kartos? ‘Yes…Huh!’
‘I’m from Mumbai…Business capital of India your brother has told me if he wins the bet I have to get these to give it to you today and handed a package to Ares.
What bet? Will brother attend the wedding? The film comprising the Bollywood living Legend and son acted together 10
Kings Of Hades
and which had grossed the record collection, I bet against it. ‘He will be on time for the wedding.’
The stranger walked out on thoughts of the bet; the bet we play are decent dangerous games. According to the bet in the world of “Hades”(Underworld) as named by Ramzi Kartos decides which film to run and which to go down the drain and whom to become superstar whom to go down on ladder of fame. When things go against their plan then they become bloodhounds and thirst for blood, the victims never knew why they fell from fame ladder? Why he or she died? Some fell from heights and died, some car burst, others on same kind of natures alibi. No one knew the Kings of Hades decides that. There are more to it but why to spoil my thoughts and nice fuck time I’m going to have here with the Bollywood actress of small time movies which was my dream; from the time my eyes fell on her. She has done some wonderful movies in southern part of India and also was involved in a sex scandal in Malaysia. After my leisure journey I have to report back to Ram. How in the hell this Foreigner who is so handsomely made by Gods towering 6’.4” Amber/Hazel-eyed, Medium/Chestnut brown hair not at all an Indian but end up in Mumbai Black channel and learned the ways of India underworld and the Indian languages like Guajarati, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Marathi and Hindi along with the other foreign languages like Kiswahili, Deutsch, Dutch, French, Spanish and Portuguese. He does open business with Chinese and Japanese and wade easily in their dialects. He’s a faithful friend to have by your side when the going is good as well as bad. After all he is “Ram.” Thinking many things of no use for us he took the car out to his errands.
Meanwhile at the room Ares on his jockey shorts came the corridor to see the lift moving down wards. Styx stood by his side astonished as she was and scared about the whole situations. She shivered with the mixed feelings of previous sexual arousal and sudden scary intrusions, the colors showed on her face will bring any person to their knees. Maybe that might be another reason the stranger took immediate leave. 11

Ares turned towards the bedroom, Styx closed the door and placed the locks double checked for safety and followed Ares. He opened the package which was handed over to him. Stunned they were by glittering of the precious stones and other gold bracelets with other jewels placed on carefully designed thin golden networks. They read the note addressed to them ‘For my brother and his bride a small gift with Love Ramzi.’ I’ll be there at the church in time.
‘Small gift? My God there is enough gold and diamonds here to start a jewelry store. Styx collected the gold and diamond to kiss at their glittering face. The old feelings began to surge in on her.
Ares lifted her up laid her on the bed. Slowly started to remove the shirt, then unbuttoned the cotton jeans went down to her foot removed the boots kissed her feet and toes the smooth skin flows and joins the nails in a fusion she is from head to toe a perfectly carved goddesses. Took all the necklaces began placing on her naked body expect for the tiny pair of panties and bra. We are lucky my dear and placed a necklace long enough to windup around her waist designed with different colors of stones which is glittering on the dimmed yellow light. Kissed her on the navel, the stubble tickled her. She moaned and placed her hand on the shoulders and tried to push ‘no…hmm…hmm…later…this is enough for now,’ Styx with last resting strength pushed and ran to bathroom as if by an instinct stopped near the door and turned her head while holding on to the frame. She saw the innocent boyish look on his face as if lost a precious holding of his she threw the doubts and confusion in her out to live for the movement and beckoned him. He left the bed thinking;

God, she is perfect. Her skin was smooth and almost creamy looking. There was a barely noticeable tan line around her chest and it was obvious she was in a habit of sunbathing without a top. Her legs seemed to be longest I had ever seen and that which added for the effect while she on her shoes.
He dropped to his knees while she rested her hands on his shoulder to steady herself while he slid his hands beneath the waist band of the panties and slowly slid them down past her hips to the floor. Crotch was just about at eye level and I could clearly see that her pubic hair was neatly trimmed. She turned walked away from him and her perfect ass mesmerized the watchful eyes and brains……. **Had to delete to accommodate the review**
Scene 2 Seeing the horror, the rest of the witnesses who were too stunned to move, too found the extra strength to move their numb legs to run for the main street. Some courageous runners found time to throw the chairs at the gunners. The Shorty suddenly turned and fired a round above the head and in a circular manner to disperse the crowd. People screamed and ran the whole place smelled of gun fire, occasional blood and cake cream.
The bullets which flew upwards towards the dome above the throne from the Shorty’s machinegun hit and split the big cross on it and splintered the wooden frames and white neon lights. The split cross again got hit by the bullets and flew as half sliced swords upwards and descended down towards the cake and the other piece towards the Shorty.

Ares moved in lifted Styx towards him, that which saved her head getting pierced from the half blown cross which pierced the cake which was flattened with creams and blood. The other pierced the ground in between the Shorty’s leg.
Ares gave support for Styx to stand on her feet. The cake stuck to her face and bosom started to mix with the blood and flow to the grass bed.
With tears filled reddened eyes, she looked at the killer and through the clenched teeth she groaned: ‘You….. Devil….’
Laughing loudly the killer said; “This was your Gift from Me.” ----------------------……..**Had to delete to accommodate the review** -----------------------------Gunshots and the gonging of the church bells brought all the citizens to the church.

seats. His face was behind the tinted glass. He shifted moved off to the right and from the vehicle while closing the door and turned at the crowd who were watching all this with their heart on hands. A simple 6’.4”, bearded, broad shouldered fellow with sunglass to block the sun glare from the eyes, casually dressed in jeans and shirt underneath the long over coat walked straight to the crowd with his head slightly bend down like Clint Eastwood’s walk in his cowboy western movies. A man with very deep bass voice like being echoed from depth, which could freeze the blood of an ordinary man and bring chills to his spine.
‘Ram…Ramzi!’ Ares who was watching everything from the knelt down position got up recognizing his elder brother and walked to him like a drunken man to trip on his own steps to fall onto his brother who held him with his hands and hugged him.
Ram felt something brewing out here and panned around to rest his eyes on the dead bride on the grass. He recognized beautiful women with the ornaments on her that which he gifted.
‘Ares! Ram shook him and questioned what is Happening?’
‘They Killed her.’

Syndicate of Hades: A reference Open Gossip Column
We at “Daily D’ansa Dada-(3D for short)” bring you the glimpse into the Underworld – Syndicate of Hades (in Greek “Hades” means Hell or Underworld). It’s heard that the name was given by the famous Knight of this syndicate Mr. Ramzi (short for Ramses) Kartos. (A librarians reference: Ramses son of “Ra” and Ra means “Sun God” in Egyptian myth, Ramzi= Ram’s Island and Son of Sun. In Greek mythology he is associated with nature, wilderness, sexuality, hunting and the life cycle. He is often given various names and epithets, and represents the male part of the religion's system. He is also known as Half Man Half Beast; both Compassionate and Fierce. Yet Lovable & Adored)
This is the only picture we have of him and which is not so clear. They say in Hades he is person who is everywhere at the same time as an incarnation of God or devil. He blends into any community or culture as if he born among them. Languages and arts of blending along are for him like a juggler juggling with their balls. Let us try to tear a bit into this world of illusions and pain of reality.
**Had to delete to accommodate the review** Does Syndicate care about others rather than themselves? Is Ram a sheep (Ram) or a wolf (Mar)? The answer is yours think and live. We here will still bring stories to you; it’s you who have to turn the world. Think about the revelations stories of Bible which states: there will be a day when Gods followers has to dwell in the caves and eat sand to quench their hunger since they are not sealed with the 666 sign on forehead to be at a mall to buy things. While the rulers and subordinates of the Hades world live in luxuries of this world. How long will you Godly survive? Are they going to be true? Think survivors of this war zone world what we want to be? Are we justified in what we do? Are we going to survive our own onslaughts from within? Bombay’s 16

Ares and Amaltheia were playing caroms on the sit out and looking at the Garden of Eden which is hither and thither gives the look on to the green vegetation available and at the flowers which is going to fall off with the weight of snow on them. That is when they heard the crash and saw a red truck which has crashed their gate and the adjacent wall to race in while the guards and workers tailing behind on legs, it came through the passage which is leading to the water fountain, the zigzagging truck has displaced the flower pots on the calf crowns which was in between the thin line of white brick barrier to brake near the fountain. Screams and shouting’s could be heard from all the sides.

Scene 3 Ares ran to his car and took off towards hotel Aeron stays. Ares parked his car and was reaching the place where the neon lights are on and crowd seems to hang around there.
There was a commotion out there he heard one drunkard shouting at Rudy, ‘you have killed the golden goose of our family, you cunning swine, and I’ll kill you with my bare hands.’
‘What’s the commotion out here friend? Ares inquired with Coach Glystone.’
Styx uncle who was being forced into a Volkswagen, he turned suddenly hearing Ares and said; ‘You have been cheated by these bastards son. Run if you value your life.’ Glystone placed a hand over Uncle’s mouth to stifle him and said ‘If you have drunk do not publicize it.’ Pushed Styx uncle into the wagon.
Ares ran to the wagon opened the door and tried to pull him out but another firm grip pulled him off and turned him. The wagon fled off from the scene. Ares turned with anger for not able to listen to the story uncle has to tell him. He looked at the face of the devil who forced him back.

Ares felt the ground giving way to swallow him. He was looking at the face of the murderer of Styx. Jelled and combed completely back his black hair looks like a person from Godfather movie. With that Hercule Poirot mustache he looks like a dramatized version of smooth devil. Ares with a growl slapped the murderer. When he took the revolver Ares gave a chop to the wrist while the gun was coming up. The gun went off. The bullet scratched the sides below the knee of Ares and buzzed through the pant pierced the grass lawn.
The Hercule hit Ares with the gun held in his hand. **Had to delete to accommodate the review** He couldn’t sleep that night. His thoughts went wild about Styx father having another child as such thoughts were taking him on to different zones. He got up went to the reception took the Directory and checked out the number given to him by his brother. His search ended with a name and address which leads to attorney named Belinda Springsteen’s house on the discarded route to the swamp.

Scene 4 He stopped in front of the old château with an eerie forest growth of trees, flower plants and many other greens around, surrounded by wooden fence. It looked dark tanned few were broken but hanging onto the last splinter. The fence joins into and on either side of the entrance gate which is on an old style concrete pillar with sculpted images, with a designer dome and a cross on top of the dome. The gate is kept wide and tall enough for a truck to pass through. The path leading to the house is 19

over grown grass covered but it didn’t cover the recent tracks of vehicle passed over it, which made it to be pressed down to the ground. The house is almost 200 to 300 meters away from the gate. Ares opened the gate it opened with a creaking noise. Rusted and not oiled. He drove the car onto the porch. The steps are covered with creepers and dried leaves it gave the look of a ghost house. The olden bell hanging from the wall hanger looked polished and kept the damages worn by years to be seen by the visitor, a very tiny version of a Catholic Church bell. Ares rang the bell.
He was staring as if an angel has blossomed right in front of him. **Had to delete to accommodate the review** Ares felt the serious of the situation and ran towards his car in thoughts; she would have really shot me, if I had uttered or lingered there more. While opening his car door he glimpsed at the gate sides for the biker in police uniform. He started the car and drove away thinking that cop was nowhere to be seen. **Had to delete to accommodate the review** ‘Oh! Holy mother of God...I have put Ram’s life in danger.’ Ares cried out loudly resting his forehead on the steering wheel. Ram had given this phone number while leaving, emphasizing that makes sure not to write this number anywhere but remember it in emergency. **Had to delete to accommodate the review** One of the guerillas pointed the light machine at Aglaia who was standing with her mouth wide open for a loud scream but no sound came from her. She heard the man behind the pointed light machine gun command with a life freezing voice ‘Freeze… none should move in this house.’ Aglaia didn’t even move for a breath.

Bellowed the guerilla in guttural voice at Aglaia; Bombay he had forced us into retreat from the syndicate share with shame. Here he will not win. This is our own home ground.’ **Had to delete to accommodate the review** The room looked like a billiards room. Dark except for the lights above one of the table in the middle of the room, Aglaia opened her eyes to the lights. She blinked a bit to clear her view. She felt the cool touch of the table material. Her senses told her the story of being on a table in a dark room with her arms and legs spread eagled tied to the either ends of the table. She laid on the table spread eagled only on her undies (Bra and Panties) were the Bra covered only her ruddier part of nipples exposing the well formed round mounts which are more fairer than the rest exposed parts of her body and the panty has triangle cloth piece which covers her pubic hair and the cleavage part of her now spread virgin folds of her paradise entry point. **Had to delete to accommodate the review** ‘Let this body be a gift to Ramzi’ said the Hercule Poirot mustache guy who stood watching all this frenzy while smoking his cigar in the darker corner of the room. **Had to delete to accommodate the review** ‘What is it?’ inquired Chief Graham Euclid with slight bend brows. ‘You may have read or came to know about a mutilated body of a young girl found at the beach.

Scene 5 ‘Tell me!’ without moving the Walther P99 from the right eye of Karmer ordered Ramzi. While Karmer was looking scared eye towards Windsor Jr his elder brother and mother Cammy. Mother, even though scared nodded a negative reply in gesture. Her mind was in a commotion of thoughts about the threatening they had received from the Styx’s murderers and the scene which was taking place right in front of her.
Ramzi seeing gestures and the scary eyes of the onlooker, said in his guttural voice; ‘ they will say no to you…but if you don’t tell the truth your eyes will feel the heat and burn for the last time in its place and allow the bullet to pass through. It will never be as good as eating that ice cream on your evening table.’ He could sense the shiver which passed through the victim of his on slaughter.

‘Golden Queen! Ira the nymph, Is her nick name, which is all I know about the leader there. Without her knowledge nothing happens out there. On the grey spotted white horse she roams through the fog which has the smell of Ghanja in that farm. If you meet up with her she may be able to help you more.’
‘Who is this Golden Queen?’
‘A nymph called “Ira” is what I have heard. None who dared to see her is alive to tell the tale today.’
‘Have you seen her?’

‘Yes. I did go to Bubi Kay; Jamaica for a business needs as per the order of ARCH to Devlin. She called me at my room on phone; I made the request of Ghanja the next instant there came an arrow piercing my curtain into the room. I checked the quality of the product which was tied to the arrow. Excellent quality, the best around the world ever you can lay hands on. **Had to delete to accommodate the review** Clinger’s murderer returned to his car. He made sure whether anyone has seen him and the body. There was none around that area to notice anything. He started the car went ahead little and turned right at the corner and drove straight back to the office. He had the smile and enthusiasm of a mission accomplished soldier. He switched on the stereo and was imitating the rhythm on the wheel; he saw a flame lit up behind him through the rear view mirror. **Had to delete to accommodate the review** I grouped myself and found myself on my feet and started running. How far I ran? Or what brought me to you, I don’t know? I never thought I’ll live another day. Styx gasped. Ram lit another cigarette from the dying one.

Scene 6 Sweat drops are forming around her lips and above her chin; her forehead was screen of drop lets of sweat from the virtual exertion she had while going through the past experiences in mind. Ram was watching her each expressions and actions. She may be saying the truth. Her face never reflected any other expressions of a lie or a made up story recitation. Either she is a born liar or she is the real one. Ram produced the photograph of ARCH and showed it to her and inquired; ‘Is this person who kept you as a prisoner?’ She stared at it and said; ‘Yes he is the one. Brother how did you get his photo?’
‘He is Araamie Khan Chengheria also known as AKC Hyena or ARCH. He is my arch enemy; a brutal killer, to confine he is a total brute. **Had to delete to accommodate the review** ‘ARCH is an Octopus. He will track me somehow and Devlin Jr is like a snake that has been trampled upon.

Ram was waiting for the light to turn green to move forward. As anyone would do he too was just browsing around the vehicles in the queue; his eyes fell on the car parked adjacent to his. His eyes bulged with surprise to see Hestia sitting inside that Mercedes-Benz SLR 200K Roadster. He thought: “except for that metallic golden plating the car has a familiar ring to it. Why my heart is beating to the tune of 26

that car’s engine. He moved his eyes further to the left to see the person behind the wheel.” ‘It’s her…!!! That hair, the golden hair which dances to the air like the waves of ocean; it can only be her. My heart beats from the past.’ Like a shooting star all memories flooded to his brains. Ramzi called out forgetting his where about.
‘Rhode, my golden Rowdy!’ they both turned to him. Hestia looked at him open mouthed and turned pale with fear. Next instant the light turned green and the cars sped off. There was a sound commotion at that moment there from the car horns and engine sounds of the cars there. Ram was following the Golden plated Benz. His thoughts raced ahead than the car. “How did Rhode get to know Hestia? What is her relationship with my enemies? Like her father Devlin, has she become the queen of the organization?” **Had to delete to accommodate the review** ‘Kings of Narcotics/Kings of the night, nobody can stop them.’ She lit a Hongtashan the original Chinese cigarette with a slight touch of diluted Viper poison for kick, specially made for high society clients.
‘O’Donnell’ she called for her all in one chauffeur, an African American in huge framed body, rough and a tough looking fellow.
‘Sire is coming. Chinese food with lots of fried Crab and Lobster along with other regulars quickly but make it very tasty. I don’t have to say to you the consequences, otherwise.’ She gave a warning. ‘Yes, Madam’ He went back to the kitchen hanging his head down as reverence to his bosses. She sat there looking at his back muscles of the shoulder move and finished off the drink and dragged on her cigarette. The sight of those raw muscles of a strong man and the extra kick from the drinks and

She had bought this dangerous combination breed to guard her and her house. It cost her fortune. ----------- The entry of the bullet was small but the damage it created at the exit was terrifying. The exit splashed the beautiful animal’s brain right on to Hestia’s dress and floor of verandah. ----------------------------------“””””------------Hestia felt the terrifying chill creeping into her bone marrows. She ran to the other end to untie her two other dogs one Pit-Bull and the Rottweiler. She cried out in disbelief and horror at the head smashed in dogs, lying dead to the world at her feet. -------------***********--------Ram pulled the hair at base of Hestia’s head and raised her head to look at the ceiling while her throat was a full display to ARCH. Ram took the knife and draw blood from under the chin of Hestia. The blood ran from chin to the valley in between her medium big bosom. ‘ARCH, Stay there! If you move any further I’ll cut her head and throw it at your feet.’

Cowards don’t come looking for you bastard’s to settle his score with you all.’ Ram went forward and fought with them. They were nine all together but tired from the hard labor. **Had to delete to accommodate the review**
‘So you won’t open this gate?’ ‘Didn’t I order you to leave?’ watchman shouted and came nearer to him. ‘If you stay again arguing here I may have to thrash you.’
‘Rascal…you are going to regret this.’ Ram reversed the jeep while the watchman stared at him with crossed arm. ‘So you are scared of me, good! You have escaped from getting …. **Had to delete to accommodate the review**

working for me no more. Did you see what has happened here? I’ll use your security amount of ₱ 7000 for the repairs along with my expenditure on those damages.’
‘Oh! No…sirrr. I’m a hurt retired ex-air force man you have my records for proof. I live in with meaner pensions and on that simple trailer home. I pledged that to pay your security amount sir. Please don’t push me to streets sir.’ **Had to delete to accommodate the review** Dr. Phile face was the first one to be seen by his open eyes. She saw the redness in them. ‘Are you really awake and live Mr. Ramzi the Great?’ she expressed an open smile to relax him a bit. -------***************-------------------Dr. Phile went off to her duty after finishing with Ram. He slowly slipped off to his thoughts. One month flew past for Ram to let him stand and walk a bit on his legs. His room has been equipped with exercise instruments for his legs and hands. Occasionally he walked on the private roof of his with special bamboo shades covered and cone shaped top on the round umbrella frame at the end of the iron pole. The cone shape was build with dry hay and bamboo. It took another fifteen days for him to have confidence on his body flexibility. According to Dr. Phile it will be good to have a two months complete rest and another six months to recoup completely to his previous stage.
The rest of the fifteen days of that month went without any incidents. Ram was walking on the roof at early night seven pm after his light coffee smoking his cigarette; he heard a screeching noise of rubber tyre on the tiled climb passage to the hospital. He looked away from the sea view to the entrance area. He saw four police vehicles with lights 30
Kings Of Hades
running to and fro but silent come and stop by the entrance of the hospital. Two other deputies along with dozens of cops and Chief Euclid came out to face DR. Phile who had walked out to them.
‘Yes sir’ with reverence and at a loss was Dr. Phile at that instance.
‘You were trying to fool us and your brother by hiding the notorious criminal under this organizational wing’ shouted Chief.
‘Sir…’ Dr. Phile felt a sharp blow from those words, which has stunned her.
‘Stay put for ten minutes’ Ordered the Chief in his commanding voice to the Doctor. Gave orders to his subordinates: ‘Search’
Police surrounded the hospital buildings and started the search. Ram felt darkness climb into his eyes because of the regret and danger. The Chief had kept other cops around the open area of beach beyond. He ordered the two at the gate: ‘Do not let anyone enter or go out.’
Sudden barging of police into the hospital buildings and the private cottages spread in that open land for the hospital made a ruckus among the doctors, nurses and patients. The private cottage dwellers are of higher status and powerful in their respected countries. Dr. Phile knew this will become an issue. Fire burnt in her brains. She was also worried about herself, her brother and Ram too. Ram will be found. It can damage our life and the reputation of this hospital too. He will be killed if found. What will I do? She was baffled by her thoughts. She saw Chief 31

turn to face her with the revolver in his hand towards her.
‘I’ll close and seal this hospital after getting that criminal. I’ll put your brother Marshal Casper behind bars and charge him with treason to the continent.’
‘Sir, please don’t spoil our reputation. Highly qualified doctors and nurses serve here from highly reputed service organizations. They are coming from different parts of world. I have worked hard to get all this start in our country for the betterment of our country. Till now we don’t have any bad mark or records sir. High society respectable people come here, for example politicians, army officers, crime and intelligence officers, and famous business magnets. They in turn give revenue to our nation by payment for their treatment. Please don’t humiliate me in front of them. It will spoil the reputation of this firm and the funding will be revoked.’ Dr. Phile was almost on tears.
‘Ya! Along with smuggling, narcotics, brothel and murder are also linked to your case as per our information’ Replied the Chief with anger.
‘Sir...’ Dr. Phile was shocked at that revelation from the officer.
‘Shut your bloody mouth’
‘Let me get him and then we will talk.’
32
Kings Of Hades
Dr. Phile thought someone had betrayed her. That is why the Chief himself came with the cops. He can get all credit if he gets Ram. Who might have done that? Not by my staffs who know about Ram being here since they were one way or another helped to existence by Ram or by me so won’t talk. Ram is there in his room. He doesn’t have a place to hide there are cops everywhere. She felt her knees sagging she held on to the tree next her which extended from the lawn area after the small wall partition from the tiled passage.
Same instant a Nissan red striped white van cam stood opposite side of the road. Two well dressed polished gentlemen with over coat crossed the road from the van to the hospital gate. They were stopped by the cops at the gate. ‘No, can’t go in now.’
‘We have to go in. it’s my mother she is serious, I have to see her.’ One of them said.
‘Whoever it is or whatever it is no one is allowed inside now.’
They went back to the van and stood there. Dr. Phile couldn’t place them because as serious as mentioned no one is there in the hospital. I had stopped Ram from leaving saying that he is not fit enough. Now because of me he is going to be behind bars. She felt her heart splitting pain.
The Chief was walking to and fro on the porch of the hospital. All the search team returned and reported that ‘Sir, Ram is not here.’
‘What?’ quivered the Chief? 33
ROcean
‘Yes, Sir.’
‘No’ shouted the Chief.
‘He might be hiding somewhere or might have escaped.’
‘No, sir no one has gone out of here. We have searched the whole place inside out. We have inquired with few whom we are acquainted with. The information we received is baseless sir. We are running behind a ghost because of that fake information.’
‘Don’t tell me he is not here. Say that you couldn’t trace him in your search. Search once more but take your time.’
‘Yes, Sir’ they again went back to search. Dr. Phile felt little courage creeping back into her.
‘Sir…Ram is not here…I have seen him only on TV reports and on newspapers… someone might have tried a prank on you.’
Chief just stared at her and started his own investigation on every floor of the front hospital buildings and floors of those buildings and then to each spread out single alcove Studios for the VIP’s. He then climbed up the terrace of the two storied building off the main hospital. He walked along watching all the roof tops and the water tanks of the buildings. He 34
Kings Of Hades
climbed the ladder checked the water tank of the main building but he could only see the reflection of the moon on the calm waters. He was sure now Ram is not here at the hospital.
Along with the deputies and cops Chief came down and gave orders to clear the area. He personally apologized for the inconvenience caused to guest patients. Dr. Phile looked at the Chief. ‘Sorry doctor we raided here on information of sighting Ram around here. Sorry for all the trouble caused.’ Chief and his subordinates too have sped off from there. Doctor stood there open mouthed as if in a trance. Where is Ram? Top notch criminal are born artist of hypnotisms and magic too; she has read somewhere. Is this something like that in reality? She saw one of the polished gentlemen who stood near the door of Nissan is walking towards her.
‘Where is Ram?’
Dr. Phile stared at him. Are they too against Ram? One trouble just moved away for another one.
‘Don’t be afraid of us. We have specially come here from Bombay on the order of our boss Chotta Sahib who is the elder brother of Ram who ordered us to be here for his security and we are answerable only to Ram since he is our straight in commander and boss. If the police had caught Ram, then this would have been their welcome out on the road.’ He opened the over coat with lots of array were different small multiple firing automatics being strapped. ‘If the Chief had caught him, they wouldn’t have gone out of this hospital alive. There are few of us in the van. They haven’t properly scanned us, even if they have, they can never even touch us. We are leaving now doctor. Ram knows now how to take care of him from now on.’ He gave a respect salute to the doctor as any 35
ROcean
westerners do for a decent woman. Dr. Phile stood there stunned at the drama taking place in front of her. She saw him go to the van. Van took off. She stood there watching it and thinking “how the hell did they come to know about Ram’s whereabouts?” Their world is a mystery by itself. The commotion and ruckus inside the hospital quietened down, mostly the guest are of high society and culture they are not of any ruckus kind. The past two hours was hell.
Dr. Phile without answering anyone ran to the private studio where, Ram was put up. She looked inside the opened door. Doctor was shocked to see the room. It never felt that the room had a patient staying there. The equipments arranged in way to look like it has never been used for months. She went and opened the bathroom door. It was empty. Where is Ram? She climber the steps to the terrace and looked onto the city a bit far off. She heard a sound behind her. She turned with a thumping heart. She saw a figure rising from the water tank. Water spilled of from his body as he stepped out. Ram shook his body to clear the water from him.
‘Ram…Ram…’ she ran to him and embraced him. She felt the wet body press against her throbbing heart below the bosom. He took a deep breath and laid his head on shoulder in between the embracing hand and cheeks.
‘Did they leave?’
‘Yes, gone.’
‘I won’t stick around here anymore…some betrayer is among us…!’ to support himself he held Dr. Phile closer and strong to himself. 36

Same time on the speeding vehicle Chief was abusing someone on phone. ‘You gourd rascal, son of a squirm! What kind of stupid information you passed on? There was nothing of Ram in that hospital. Not even the dust from his shoe. Bastard! Were you trying to humiliate me?’ he was pouring out abuses to the person on the other end till his fury subsided down. When he was going to cut the call he heard a reply ‘Okay…now it is my turn to fume him out.’ The line went dead at that comment from the other end of the receiver. **

It was early dawn when Dr. Phile left Ram to go to her house. She turned at the door and looked at the face of drugged sleeping Ram. A lovely, pleasant gentleman; if only he was mine anyway last few hours he was mine with his soggy mind. That is enough to pass this life with. I have always dreamed of a man like him. Whoever Rhode is, she is a very lucky person. Ram had been brought in by Dr. Phile to the room. She seated him on the chair and pulled the bed from the wall to place in a laid down position. Her heart was throbbing with passion, admiration and heat from Ram’s touch. Ram was weak from fatigue and pain. Dr. Phile gave the pain relives and mind alerting drugs injected into him. Doctor knew he had to be alert to keep his life. Sudden surges of medicines are a strong shock for Ram’s body. Doctor began undressing him of the wet clothes. The half naked Ram aroused her inner feelings bottled and waiting for her prince charming. She has seen his body with well toned muscles with six packs. His hand and leg sinews and muscles are well formed like that of an armature wrestler or the likes of the super action heroes of Hollywood Sir Arnold or Sir Sylvester. She hasn’t felt like this with anyone. This was happening to her for the first time. She has seen many but with him she doesn’t know why, the moment her eyes have met his, she felt a tingling of a new sensation in her body. She knows if she doesn’t have him she will die. She ran her palm on the thick matte of hair on his muscled and six packs below his chest. She was caressing Medium/Chestnut hair Ram caught her hand at the forehead. ‘Stop, I can sense your breath and smell. It’s not right, I love someone else. You are a nice beautiful women but…mmmh!’ the words got muffled by the kiss 37

from Phile. ‘Ram think no more, please let yourself go, trust in me for once.’ She leaned forward and kissed his lips and climbed on to the bed and pushed against him until her breast flattened against his naked chest. Slowly her lips came from his but only an inch and she spread her hand along his hands and locked her fingers with his. ‘Ram, this is what I have been wanting to do with you since the first day I saw you. I had a dream about someone like you for past seven years. You have a choice. You can submit to my lovemaking like a gentleman or you can wait and let me seduce you. Either way, I hope you’ll enjoy it.’ This time Ram lifted his hand pressed behind her head towards his lips and kissed her. She clung to him but one hand worked between them and at his crotch. His tongue battered at her lips a moment until they parted and he tasted the lemon mint from her drink. ------------****************-------By 3:00 am she had bath dressed and reached the door. She felt being whole and content. She was very happy as a chirping morning birds. She felt light and a new kindle to surge forward with everything because of the halo of the new strength in her.
She was trying to get into her car from nowhere three thugs came and stood by her. She saw her driver fall with a hit from the small club like object held by the assailant. One of then sat at the wheel while one sat on the other side of her with the third one forcing her in and seated beside her on her right. **Had to delete to accommodate the review**

The watchman after the scan on his computer came out with respect opened the gate for the BLS to enter. It had an elegancy in its smooth flow. It went and stood at the porch right in front of the verandah. Two youngsters were watching everything from the second floor gallery. They believed it to be a VIP who has come to meet their father. They were seeing that class model vehicle for the first time. They came down to see this new guest. An Indian royally dressed with turtle neck suit and golden thread embroidered turban chauffeur came out and opened the door on the other side and waited in respect. A white with slight cream color touch on it suited gentleman came out and stood near the steps. He took specially ordered Golden tip Davidoff cigarette from its Golden embroidered leather case and lit it. The youngsters were studying him from the shoe to top. When their eyes fell on his face their face color changed to a pale shade. With a jolt they remembered the past encounter with him.

He heard the running water of the bathroom on the sides. He went near the partition which separates the room and the bathroom with his one hand inside the coat at the Walther P99. He saw that the bathroom door was open. A semitransparent light blue curtain with green weeds and light golden fishes with bubbles from their mouth were pictured on it was parting the wash and the toilet floor from bath area but spacious. He saw the beautiful figure behind it taking shower. He went to the verandah took the last puff on the dying cigarette and stubbed it in the ashtray. She was drying herself and covering herself with the same towel with flowers and butterfly pictures on it. Ram saw the fairness and the reddening of the feet as it touched the wine red and off white with tiger designed carpet of the room. She had golden hair lets which gleamed from the small glare of sun. Ram looked at her from toe to the face. He was studying her. His eyes came to stop at the lips which parted like a rose petal to show her white teeth. She undid the knot of the towel which flowed down and fell around her ankle. ‘For your eyes only…’ and she came forward and placed a soft kiss on his lips. Her budding nipples felt the cool morning breeze from the open verandah that was soon replaced by Ram’s mouth. He sucked hungrily on her breasts. The left hand went to the center of her while the right held her back and lifted her and placed her slowly on the smooth bed while kissing her lips which was held to his by her by bending her head with her hair flowing around his face like vines. 40

‘You are special…’ she coed lovingly. ‘I have never felt so genuine and like a woman with anyone else.’ She said with a ruddiness of the cheek with shy.

‘You have confirmed that the girl who died was not Styx but a replica and she too was Mr. Windsor’s daughter. Now you have to explain that and your relationship with them.’
‘It is an old story only known by me and Windsor, were we saw the best of 19th century living examples and our 20th century differences and the worst 21st century now along with you, who is neither of 20th nor of 21st century.’ Simmer slowly went into past to unfold some truths to Ram. We were at a tea estate of his Excellency Jason Greiner in South Africa. Windsor also was an employee there. His wife was having a second child birth at the same Dr. Brown Hinges hospital where my wife was working as nurse. Those days we were poor peasants but working as managers among the Native Africans.

As murdering giant the gunman was laughing and mocking them. She held onto the bamboo pole for support from the weakening leg. The medicine man kept his grounds and was calmly watching everything with a small smirk at the tip of his lips, as if he knew the outcome. The two assistants stood paled with fear. He saw the body out at the backyard on the pole bed, he advanced towards it.

He saw that everything was getting little quiet out there and he came to know that none of the innocent inhabitants are out there at the premises. Those there are the henchmen and the gangsters of the Trimurti’s of the underworld and his arch enemies. He has seen the hand held army bag which was full of explosives like blocks of C4 explosive with blasting caps which is to be inserted into it and timed fuse grenade, the fuse is ignited upon release of the safety lever like that of No 69 grenades along with few bars of TNT and dynamite rolls. He knew that they are kept to destroy the factory on danger of raid. Ram took four C4 and dynamite cylinders with fuses and went out on his knees. He tied the blasting cap inserted C4 and the dynamite together and made four groups. He took the bag and went to the next watchtower behind the one he sat, which was facing the forest NW and placed one of the C4 dynamite bundles below at the rail next to the door which faces the asbestos arch shaped fixed on the wooden truss frame roof and lighted the long fuse and left it hanging behind the protruding shade of the roof. He retraced his steps back to the watchtower he was in earlier. He took the silenced gun and the day night viewer and silencer attached sub machine gun from the other guard he had tied at the right end and 45

placed the silencer near the end of the hair line behind guard’s head and shot him. He was watching the lighted fuse nearing the dynamite and C4 explosive bundle and turned the day and night viewable to the diesel can in the watchtower opposite to the SE facing the forest SW and shot the can twice. It started leaking diesel on to the paneled floor. Diesel smell or something was turning the guard to the bullet holed can; the second shot fell on the wire connected to the search light, which cut free into two spiting sparks. The sparks took a deep liking to the leaked diesel and kissed them to ignite its path. Ram’s assumption was right every tower had a bag full of explosives near the light to destroy in dire consequences. The watchman was looking wide eyed the bag ignites to flame and blast right in front of him. The simultaneous explosion almost shook Ram to lose balance a bit. He came on his four and looked down below through the transparent asbestos. He threw the second bundle after releasing the lever from the grenade into the SE watch tower where the guard in the watchtower was keeping his both hands over both ears respectively and bends over when bundle fell in right in front of his closed eyes and blasted the tower and him to glory. Ram peeked out to see the commotion on the floor down through the transparent asbestos. He saw that the ground floor was swarming with thugs; they were running dither and thither confused. He saw the watch man in the SE watchtower fly out of the burning tower in flames with a pathetic loud yell as did the others. He slowly took the lever from one of the grenades in the bag and threw it on top of the factory roof and waited. It lit up with a big blast and took the burning and melting transparent roof along with the wooden frame to the factory floor. It fell on the rolled dried Ghanja and the conveyer belts of the machine which transports the packaged and non packaged stuffs to the respective directions of factory. The dried Ghanja and other flammable objects in the factory floor caught fire. The fire almost reached the roof along with the commands to extinguish the fire and the cry of pains from some thugs. **Had to delete to accommodate the review**

She saw his tears mix with the grimy stuck on his face. She saw the innocence in that clear Amber/Hazel eyes and the dimpled smile of his and moved towards him and embraced him to her as he is the last string of her life and kissed him on his bow shaped lips. He tasted of the forest soil which lingered on his lips. They stood there like that for a awhile lost in their own world. She disengaged herself and whispered: ‘There is a small lake formation down the slope like a big tub which over flows on the other side to the valley below.’
They walked hand in hand through the ankle deep stream to the round nature tub with chest deep water, which is collected from this flow of water to send it flowing with force down to the valley to continue as a river from the edge opening like the Aladdin’s lamp. At the edge people can rest their chin on the hand and look at the forest, water fall, the river and the long distance view of cloud almost touching the other mount and the forest trees. They reached the round natural tub formed from the rocks and grass around as a carpeted floor of the sides of a pool in an exclusively expensive villa. The edge at the top where the water from the mountain stream fall into the tub is like a small orifice in between the ledges formed from some thick roots over the mud and the rock, which could be used as a platform to jump into the round nature tub, which is dangerous too. This was exotically created by god from nature to be treasured and enjoyed by the pure lovers like them now. They are now blind to the guns, narcotics and enemies. They undressed, washed their cloths and spread it on the grass to dry while they got back in to the cold pure water as pure as god’s tears. They felt the fire that was incinerating them from inside have drained of them as the morning dew and in place of it there kindled the passionate love they had from the beginning.
They swam in harmony like mermaids and curled on each other bathing each other physically and mentally with eyes like water snakes curl on when they mate. There could be no better union as man and women like they were having now. They swam to the grass carpeted sides of the 47

natural tub like Adam and Eve entwined like the forest wine on the grass kissing each other. ‘Ram, please, please show me what it is like to make love with a man you love and respect again. Please Ram right now. It is one last thing I need before I die that is if so happens. I want to know that love we had and which we will have at its best, when it’s tender, thoughtful, slow and loving! I need you to make love to me again. It is simple. I want you.’
Ram had his hand on hand on her bare breasts. Slowly his hand curled around a breast and felt it throbbing. Her nipples burned his palm. Slowly she lifted up and kissed his lips. For a moment he didn’t move. Then she kissed him again and her lips opened and her tongue licked his lips until they parted. Her tongue darted inside his mouth exploring. She shivered and her hand reached for his crotch and rubbed tenderly. His erection began and she found it and massaged it with care. She watched him as his hands caressed her breast gently. **Had to delete to accommodate the review**

Scene 9 In one of hut in the tree Ram and Rhodes were discussing their route of escape after destroying the Ghanja distillery completely. They have planned to take the Hong Kong ship to Mexico then to New York to Amsterdam, then from there to Dubai and then to Nepal to meet Chotta Sahib and back to Hawaii to setup legal business and support for the innocent inhabitants they indirectly harmed and used illegally to pay their debt after finishing the commitments as promised to Chotta Sahib and to have a free entry as an Indian or Nepalese businessman as when they would like to visit to see through the legal businesses he had promised Ram to have and monitor. **Had to delete to accommodate the review**
‘Why Casper, why did you shoot at Chief Euclid? Why was he trembling with fear when he recognized you?’
‘I was following him with different outfits to suit me to merge along with the commoner crowd for few weeks now to get my hands on him, but then he disappeared as if swallowed by the earth. Then I heard about the commotion in this forest from some inhabitants and paid them to get here. I hope I was on time at the least I could save you from that vermin. He killed my cousin Clemendus and a few weeks back he killed my sister.’
‘Dr. Phile, Your sister?’ Ram remembered the well mannered and smiling face of hers, who have given his life back to him. **Had to delete to accommodate the review** 49

The older gang member was taking the red hot knife out of the burner and told Euclid to hang on to the table end and bite into the soft cloth roll. The old gang member then cut the wound around the bullet entry and took the bullet out. He placed the first aid medicine and band aided the wound well. Euclid got up with anger wheeling inside him as each gulp of Old Monk rum downed into his intestine. He looked with ugly eyes at Devlin and thought: “that scoundrel, after all a Marshal shot at me. He will rot in this same hell hole like Ram and this bitch after I have done with all. His bloody sister’s death also will be buried deep with him.” Everyone around him heard him grind his teeth in deep thoughts. He sat on the floor as he started to lose foot under him. On opposite table was ARCH lying with bandaged foot. He thought he will die in that forest but he was brought to the distillery by his gangsters who followed him and Ram. He was treated by the older gang member who knew about certain medicine plants from the forest to regain the strength and put an end to the bleeding and to use as antiseptic for the same. He made a drink with some medicinal plant leaves and Ghanja and gave it to ARCH, who drank it with a cringed face. The drink was sour and strong. ARCH exercised himself by walking to set himself ready for any situation. Hurt and blood was not new to this hardened criminal. ------------******************--------------------------
Devlin went to the smoke room to kill Rhode but all he could find was the two dead guards and the cut ropes which were tied around her arms and legs. He ran towards the other big living room cum office shouting: ‘ARCH!!...Euclid!!’
They came running toward him with all their gathered strength. They both were perplexed from the turn of events. ‘Guards!, Security!!!’ cried out ARCH.

There were gunshots of machine guns from outside. They ran out with their guns in hand towards the sound to find the search lights shatter from the bullets and the guards fly down with cries of pain from the struck bullets. They landed with thud to the ground. They were pierced with bullets. Sudden darkness, people were grouping each other in the darkness when they heard the gunfire and the blast from the generator room. All the power went off at the snap of fingers. Complete darkness has fallen over the factory. The few minutes’ calmness was broken by the big blasts and the fire spewed up from the store corner towards the sky, like the eruption of a volcano towards the sky. Within a two minutes gap again another blast sounded from the stores next to the main quarterly burned store which spewed the eruption higher than the first one into the air towards the sky. The whole place was lit up for few striking minutes.
‘Hashish oil, our money!’ Devlin and Euclid cried out in unison. They couldn’t believe their eyes that their black gold has turned flames and cinder and vapor. **Had to delete to accommodate the review** Arch grabbed the brief case from Devlin’s hand. ‘You, swine…’
‘Shut up you fool!’ ARCH pointed his gun at Devlin and ordered ‘this belongs to me now. I’m leaving for good. This will cover all my losses which you both had owed me.’
