Read to know what you missed out on of The Dozen!
The officers of the small town up on the mountain were eying Neil with persistent grudges. The room was tiny and smoky with the exotic cigars they smoked.
''I've told you, I didn't do that. The old man is confused. Ask him to give his statement again and it'll be framed around another guy.' rushed Neil, who usually held his temper really well.
'Well i think you better start confessing, because the old man, the receptionist, the guests have all given their witness reports that it was definitely you. Plus, we don't want the flood to free you out of prison' One of the officers said on his way out.
'That's just not fair.' Neil relaxed back into his chair and closed his eyes. The sound of the metal gates creaking open made him look up. Another female officer had come in.
''Sir, you're wanted by the Chief Justice. We just got a fax.'' She spoke in the local language and held out the fax. The officer grabbed it, rounded his small troop.
''Keep an eye on the subject till the commander comes.'' and then he was out. She merely nodded while Neil watched the turn of events.
''Neil! God it was so hard to get in'' Neil stood up, mouth open as the lady officer removed her cap and the sunglasses.
''Mackenzie? How did you?'' he shrieked.
''You bet I am, trying to get you out of this mess!'' she dug her hand into her pockets and fished for something.
''I can't believe you came to get me! How are the others holding up?'' he spoke hurriedly.
''Neil? They're fine okay? Listen I've got no time, here take this. Follow the instructions. We've got it under control, just follow it k? And trust us buddy, we're gonna get you out.'' She pushed something into his hands and he hid it. When she was fixing her cap they heard heavy footsteps.
''Remember, nightfall by the swinging bridge'' Neil looked at her confused as the commander walked in. She saluted him and left, winking at Neil before climbing up the steps.
'Boy, you better admit the crimes, because hard evidence just came in.'' he paused and continued,
''A broken bottle of champagne was found at the crime scene, and we traced it down to your friends who stole it from the hotel property. Now I don't know about your laws but here, you're responsible for the Dozen.''
''Tell me, what's my motive behind trying to kill this rich guy?'' asked Neil, he just had to waste time till nightfall.
''For his money of course? And I'm not telling its you, I'm telling you're in charge of a group which was equally involved in this attempted murder. How else could you have done it past the security of the hotel?''
'' I paid for this entire trip! That cannot be my motive. With all due respect sir, we're better of doing other things.''
After hours of questioning, the commander went out and left him in that tiny empty room. Neil pulled out the chit and unfolded it.
''Drink the vial with the red potion. Follow the officer with the fire tattoo. Wait by the swinging bridge. Whatever happens next, act instinctively. Be yourself Neil and watch out for the dozen at every step''. Neil tore it up and threw it out the window. They'd better hurry, the flood was swarming through the country but Neil didn't know how the Dozen were planning on taking advantage of that?
