Love turns man into a monster. Love awakens the darkest and deepest evil inside you. I was a man once, so humane, but not anymore.
Written on the walls of the Baltimore state prison in one of the chambers where not even sunlight is allowed to pass through.
‘There sir, you can find Sam, be careful, he’s very dangerous’
‘Thank you’, said Dr. Mikheal who was accompanied by detective Janus. Dr. Mikheal was a psychiatrist at the facility centre, and the renowned detective Janus was investigating the murders at ‘The Domes’
‘Aah.. There you are Mike and Jane…’ Sam looked at them.
‘Why does he refer us with his slain friend names?’ whispered Janus to Mikheal. Mikheal moved close to her ears and said ‘Certain psychopaths have the tendency to refer people with the names of his slain victims. They then justify their misdeeds infront of these people, and hence providing us deeper insights into the killings and the reasons behind them. Moreover, our names are pretty close to that of the victims, no wonder he addresses us that way’
Detective Janus shook her head.
‘Hey Sam boy, how are you doing?’
‘I am fine Mike. Wassup with u?’
‘This is detective Janus, Sam’
‘Yes, I do know her, How are u Jane?’
Janus looked at Mikheal and Mikheal nodded his head. She turned to him and said, ‘I am fine Sammy’
‘So, what are the reasons behind you killing Mike and Jane….’
‘Vennela….’ he started to narrate the story….
At the end of it, Janus was in tears and held his hand. ‘I thought u always narrated gory stories…’
Mike suddenly popped up from his chair pulling Janus away from the bars whispering, ‘what are you doing miss, this is a kinda asylum for them, you are not supposed to touch him or his belongings.
‘I am sorry, Dr. Mikheal, I was so moved by his story’
‘And what happened to Vennela after that, Sam’ Dr. Mikheal looked at Sam and asked him. Sam started hymning a song and turned away from them.
‘He wouldn’t say it, think we should take him out and perhaps after seeing the fresh ambience after so many years, he would confront to us, his crimes’ Said Dr. Mikheal.
‘Perhaps, Baltimore state facility does offer such thing, but we need to do this under heavy security cover lest he might escape’ nodded Janus.
The next morning Sam was heavily chained in both his feet and hands. He walked out of the prison and his pupils initially had some difficulty in contracting themselves after being exposed to the light after a very long time.
He could smell the Indian flavor. For the first time he landed in India. ‘Great country this is’ he thought, ‘no wonder my Vennela is so good’. He made his way to her home. He was expecting her parents to retort and he was thinking of convincing them. Her parents were more than happy to receive him.
‘Son’ Vennela’s mom called him out and he could feel lots of love in her words. ‘We are happy, you are here. Arey suno jee.. kaun aaya dekho’ she yelled and Vennela’s dad has come.
‘Please be seated, son’ he told him, ‘we are more than happy to receive you’
‘Where is Vennela, I wanna meet her soon’ Sam could anticipate that her parents agreed for the marriage. Her parents started to cry. And her mom led Sam to a room in the interior and showed her.
‘Sam, Vennela was murdered in cold blood by a group of young men, the case is still under investigation and the reasons for the murder are not known yet’ said her mom weeping pointing to her photo on the wall.
Sam’s heart broke. It broke into pieces. Thousands and thousands of them. He fell to the ground on his knees and started to cry his heart out.
He wept for days together till not even a single drop could come out of his eyes. His tears have evaporated. ‘We want you to be with us son’ but he insisted and finally bade bye to her parents and left India.
Now he felt fresh air for the first time again after many years and it reminded him of Vennela.
‘Vennela, I will avenge your death’ he told himself.
The next day police were at the Baltimore state prison facility.
Detective Summers was a terribly shaken man. Right in front of him lay the bodies of Dr. Mikheal and Janus. A little far off from the place were the bodies of three prison guards. All of them were strangulated by a metal chain.
‘We have a situation. A dangerous convict has escaped- Sam, the butcher …….’
