Three some Sitting in front seat of the car. “Where is Money bag”?. Watson inquired . "Back seat,” and Oscar jumped back seat to count the cash. Started counting.

Boy is also cripple, wearing prosthetic”. Pointed Watson.” "you stay with boy we are moving “ saying this they rushed to wards car and drove away. NOW !…..there was a boy ,Watson and the precipitation.  Watson saw a dim light in the middle of the woods.He marched towards that way .It was a small hut. Door was ajar. He dared inside. “Watson, I knew you would come!'.'.. ? In the dim light he saw shadow of girl.Watson quickly put the boy on a little bed."Who is there" Watson asked scarcely.” "Julie".Replied came from the dim light."I thought you were no more"Watson getting close and touched her and hugged her tightly in his arms and started kissing his face madly."Are you married ?”Julie asked with severe fright.."No, “Watson replied abruptly."

"Why did you bring him ?"he again asked me in anger. “How could I leave him,I thought in little while we would be home.” l answered. What shall I do now.? There is no shelter,the boy is shivering, should go to the police,Splash of ideas were knocking Watson’s mind. Watson decided to go to the police and hand over this boy to them. “What’s your name ? but the boy didn’t answer. How old are you ??”Watson again asked.He with his fingers showed he is six. They smiled with them selves.Julie carried him in her arms but he was very heavy. hold his finger and asked him to take some steps,the boy took some steps and fallen down.Very strange,this boy neither walk nor talk,what kind of life is he carrying .?Julie thought.After a little while sat for rest. It was horrified darkness and didn’t ’know how were they continuing? Watson felt some thing very strong touching body, It was a rail track and due to darkness they couldn’t see the track.Julie was also tired and dozy. . She saw a rail bogey approaching them and some men were running after the bogey. She became swift and pushed Watson to the other side of the track ,she also jumped.Literally, the boogies were all gathered there for auction bid ,next week .One of its bogey slipped down and started rolling. Watson and Julie were indeed very tired and worried. It was nearly dawn, passing through Couriers office ,Police were there, Watson stepped in .All became alert. Watson handed boy to officer  .” "Did You kidnap him"? No ,we didn’t know, this boy was lying in the back seat of the car. “Watson replied with confident."Where are the rest two?Officer asked."I don’t know, they left us and ran away."Watson replied simple." Who is she? She is my fiancée found it accidentally”.My husband came close to Watson and gave a blow on his face.” Yes, he is the one”. The old cashier cried. " a great drama being created, to get sympathy from the parents of the boy .How it could be possible that they ran away and You came to hand over the boy to us ”.My husband shrieked badly. On the spur of the moment,boy enchanted towards Watson “Mama, this man been kind to me ,he saw my prosthetic , pity on me,He had saved me from the muggers”. Watson and Julie were just watching him with great amazement. “Excuse me, Lady ,this boy was unable performing normal but now he’s doing perfectly well ”Watson asked very humbly. The lady smiled and replied” Rehearsing from the last twenty days and making him up for the upcoming stage show on Television serial next week ",The kidnapped”. Meantime phone rang, Investigation officer been informed that the two muggers Oscar and Jaffer been  killed in an encounter and stolen money recovered .The officer took out handcuff..Julie was very silently watching all the scene.
