All Chapters of RUMMAGE: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Jerika ran inside her house and screamed Daulat’s name in panic. Daulat came out of the guest room once he heard her. “What is it?” Daulat asked in concern. Jerika saw Daulat with a gun in his hand. “What is that?” Jerika asked while pointing towards the gun Daulat was holding in defensive manner. Daulat read too much intensely to the situation and the situation was intense but in a different manner. “Protection” Daulat answer glancing in every direction for any threat. He looked like an alert soldier ready to strike on enemy’s base. Jerika wanted to react more but at that time she had more important concern. She looked around in hope to find Brian but Brian was nowhere to found. Jerika was started to freak out and Daulat was getting tensed looking at Jerika. “What’s wrong? Why did you scream like that? What are you looking for?” Daulat asked Jerika who was looking all tensed up and worried. “Brian” Jerika said only one word as

***** FEW HOURS BACK ***** Daulat was making few phone calls whereas Jerika was getting ready to leave for Zion as per the plan. Jerika was worried but she could hardly do anything about all that. It took nearly one hour to reach the city and further half an hour to the office. Jerika was getting late. Daulat did not bring his car and it was still parked in the hospital as he along with Jerika and the insolent, demagogue Brian. Daulat decided to take Jerika’s car whereas Jerika decided to take taxi. Jerika left first. After Jerika left, Daulat was ready to leave after half an hour Jerika left. He grabbed car keys and walked to the garage so that he can leave in the car at that instant. As he was ready to drive away, he noticed something weird. He checked and then realized that Jerika’s bike was missing. Its cover was thrown in the corner. Jerika did not notice bike missing because she never came down to garage, even not for her car. Daulat understood that Brian left on Jerik

Isabel was feeling uneasy. She was very worried about Antoine and all she did was think about Antoine ever since she got that message from him. Isabel could not help but remember the day when Antoine told her that they were moving back to the town where they used to live in and he will be working at Zion again. Isabel was thrilled but same could not be said about Antoine. He was indeed happy about the promotion and position but regarding moving back was a bitter sweet moment for Antoine. He did not looked as ecstatic as he should be and Isabel knew that although she ignored it but thinking about it now made her feel anxious. Isabel was clueless about the past and that is why she was facing difficulty in handling present. Only if she could have some answers then maybe she could have done something rather being dense about everything even about her husband. Antoine was becoming difficult to read day by day and things were getting out of hands from Isabel. She started at her cell phone

The middle aged man pushed Brian out of his car. Brian’s hands were tied but his mouth was not. Brian was cussing and swearing his abductor whereas the abductor was whistling and enjoying himself, he was not paying any attention to Brian. Brian was being ignored and that was making him more grumpy and annoyed.“You swine, you dog, untie my hands, you pig and then I will tell you. You bastard attacked me from behind like a coward. Release me and face me like a man and then I will show you what it cost to mess with me” Brian was letting his frustration out on his abductor when he was forcing Brian out of the car.Brian was resistant and not cooperating but his abductor was surely older but he had a heavy build and he was strong so he had no problem handling Brian and his tantrums besides he had experience in the past. Brian saw the surroundings he was familiar with. It was his abductor’s place or one could more appropriately say, a dumpster. The p

Isabel went to her husband ward immediately but she was stopped by few policemen on the guard outside his room. Isabel was furious at that time and she had no desire to tackle cops but what she desired no longer mattered.“Ma’am you can’t go inside” one of the officer stopped Isabel as she was entering Antoine’s room.“He is my husband. I need to meet him. I am family. You can’t deny me going inside” Isabel said in a bit loud voice than usual.“I can ma’am. Your husband is giving his statement and there should be no disturbance not even from the family which means you” Officer said in his rude and mean voice. Isabel clenched her fist in frustration. First it was Jerika and now this man. What was wrong with everybody? Why she was the target for everyone? Jerika thought everybody was behaving in this manner purposely. She was just angry and disappointed but she did not know who to blame exactly.
