The Artificial Pull Story - Chapter 2

Advertisements:

10 p.m. that night, Dr. Mishra was in his office furiously trying to explain something to the person on the other side of the phone line. “But you don’t understand… it was a strange sensation… and Jessica… her feet, don’t you get it… David, you have to investigate… there was a bright flash of light… and I saw her levitating… no, I’m not hallucinating… please David…” and the line went dead. Desperate and hopelessly tired, he mumbled “come in” unwillingly two minutes later, when the FBI official came to question him about Ms. Jessica Heltings’ bruises and cuts. Very rudely and suspiciously was the question “there was only one person in the cave with her, isn’t it Dr. Mishra?” put to him. This was the umpteenth time he had answered “yes, but if you would please listen… there was this thing and she… and then…” He was always interrupted and his explanations left unconsidered. The campus was buzzing with the rumours of the injuries done to Jessica, by the cruel, even criminal Dr. Mishra. The close relationship between them was talked about like a known fact, though Mishra never remembered confiding his truly pure feelings to anyone.
The look on the official’s face said he was not very pleased with the interruption caused, when the campus nurse busted in hurriedly, and said “she is conscious again and is wishing to talk to professor Mishra.”
“She is not to be over stressed gentlemen, or I will cut the meeting short,” were the warning words with which the nurse allowed Dr.Mishra with the official into the room. Jessica’s lovely face was heavily bandaged and serious damage was done to the soles of her feet. Dr. Mishra could vividly remember what had happened. His flash light had blown itself. Jessica was flying few feet above the ground and then she collapsed. The steel spikes beneath her shoes were bent and charred, burning her shoes and the soles of her feet. He had carried her out though the narrow opening during which his inexpert handling caused the bruises and cuts on her face and hands. He regretted ever agreeing to go on the trip.
Though hurt and weak she managed a small smile at Mishra and rendered him innocent by explaining that despite of Dr. Mishra’s warnings she had ventured alone into the inner chambers of the cave which they had visited earlier. She said that within a particular chamber her flash light had exploded and she foolishly hit her head somewhere. Then she remembered awakening one for a second or so on the ground above, apparently rescued by Dr. Mishra.
The official bowed curtly to Jessica and shook hands with the professor. Jessica’s statement was half lie but if the victim isn’t interested there was nothing the officer could do.
