“Are you sure you want to do
this?”
“Of course, why not?”
“It doesn’t feel quite right.”
“You think too much… we will go
in and do just as written”
“I don’t like this idea of a
random treasure hunt… not here”
“Don’t be a sissy Jim”
“I am not being a sissy… and this
place is guarded if you have not
noticed already”
“It’s a matter of seconds and we’ll
be inside”
The two friends sneaked in
through the gap in the boundary wall before anyone could notice, the dark night
was the perfect cover and Billy was happy with the first step done.
The constant creaking of crickets
and the occasional hooting of owls added a chill to this eerie night. Billy went through the phrases one again written in
the diary, “Judith Frost 1986 – 2012 –
Get to her for 10 million Euros”
The patrolling guards didn’t pose
much trouble for them, but the bigger task was to find out Judith Frost here.
They decided to scan the area in turn so that they didn’t miss Judith.
“Billy… there” whispered Jim,
warning him about the approaching guard.
“Hey, come in here… hide behind
this pillar before they get to you” said a soft voice.
Billy couldn’t see her properly
in the translucent moon light, but
he realized they were not the only two who had sneaked in, they had company…
but was she also looking for Judith??
“Hey what are you doing here at
this hour”, she asked?
“We were just… but tell me why you
are here” asked Billy.
“I am waiting for someone to turn
up”
“Who?”
“Ahh… long story… but tell me do
you need any help?”
“Would you know where can I get
this lady called Judith Frost?”
“Looks like it’s your lucky night…
follow me”
Billy for a minute couldn’t
believe his luck, someone to help them out in here!!
They followed her to the other
side of the park near the Birch and there she was – Judith Frost.
He turned back to thank her but she
was not there. Intoxicated with the thrill of finding Judith’s grave Billy
& Jim started digging in, in search of the 10 million. By the time they
reached the coffin they could only think of the stash and their changing
fortune.
When they opened the coffin,
however, they didn’t find anything that remotely looked like cash or precious
stone. But that was not what worried them now – they didn’t even find Judith’s
body or remains in the coffin!
“Welcome to my home boys”, they
heard her speak… a voice that gave them a fright
Before they could realize anything
Billy & Jim were pushed into the same pit. The only thing that stayed back
was the diary. She picked it up and smiled. She’ll wait for another full moon
and another prey. She had vowed she’ll not let the greedy live, the human greed
which had taken Judith’s life years back.
