Sachin and Rukhsana walked out to proceed to the Moonlight Inn. 

"Sachin I will be there in 30 minutes." she said, as she walked toawards her vehicle.

"Hey wait! Drive with me in the jeep. Constable, bring madam's vehicle to Moonlight Inn."

"Ummm...errrrrrrrrrrrrr.. Ok!" she said.

As they drove....

"Sachin, do think you have clue about what is happening?" she asked to break the silence in the jeep.

"No. we can arrive at something only after we see what we have in store at Moon light."

He glanced at her for a second ."She is cute!" he thought and smiled.

They reached Moonlight Inn. The same scenario- asking the front desk a number of questions. The lady led them to the room. Just as they opened the door, Sachin slipped and fell down... Click! went Rukhsana's camera and she giggled. They saw pearls scattered every where. Click! Click! Click went her camera....

The forensic team arrived at the spot, and started to collect what ever they could. Rukhsana came out from the bathroom with a shoe  in her hand....

"Sachin! Look at this..." It was a black heeled shoe. The pattern on the shoe was unique. It was filled with a pattern of red and yellow glowing flames....

"Wierd! " he said.

Rukhsana took snaps of the shoes- front , back, sideways. She looked for more clues... She reached the window. 

"Sachin!!!" she screamed...

"Why do scream for eveything?" he asked irritated.

The window glass was broken. He peped to look down. They were on the IV floor. Stong pipes ran from the top to bottom, stong enought o have a hold to climb up and down.

At the side he saw a few pan spits.... Rukhsana see....!

They were in deep thought. They got out of the room and Sachin ran into Rustam...

"Rustam! What the hell are you doing here?" she roared.

"errrrrrrrr..ummm iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiioooooo mmeeme a cleaner here too..."

"what?How come?"

"I work from Monday through Wednesday in Marriet and Thursday to Sunday here". Rustam explained, scratching his head, and showing his red pan teeth!

"Sachin, I am going to publish the photos of the sandal in my paper. may be some dealer could revert. May be can arrive at something."

"Ummm you do that, while I keep an eye on Rutsam. I inquired in the front desk. He was the cleaner when Smartha was stabbed, and it was he who reported the death. Plus, there's this stinking pan spit everywhere.... Drop by my office at 11:00 tomorrow...."

Rukhsana hurried home. She created an advertisement and asked her editor to publish it asap. She also sent messages to other local magizines and newspapers to publish the same.

It was a long day for her. She had a shower and wrapped herself with her favourite Spiderman comforter..to sleep.......The telephone rang....
