All Chapters of The Midnight Trap: Chapter 21 - Chapter 28

UsmanTwirling the radio set with one hand, Fahad could be seen sitting on the sofa, leaning against the headrest, with one hand folded behind his head."Hmm...I asked for her safety. No one listened to my request.," He responded,

Usman"But why?" A broken, accidental retort finally slipped from Usman. He was just so shocked and strangely hurt by the knowledge. Fahad was behind it all. After being so helped, he had been the cause of making his family feel so misery and pain. He couldn't believe that. In fact, He didn't want to believe that. It was a shattering notion. Also, this house belonged to his friend, so why on earth was Fahad claiming it as his own?

Fahad was staring out of his house's window, down at the dark weeds. His fists were clenched as he pondered over how exactly the world had betrayed him, but he would try...attempt to always protect people..He had been only seven when he had run away from his terror house and got caught by authorities.

Just as Fahad had promised, the next Sarah and Rehana were found inside the house. They were sitting in the main lounge. I rushed up to them while Papa, Uncle Salman and Rehana waited impatiently outside."No.." She began shaking on the sofa, while Sarah sat next to her, completely silent. "It was too dark..." She was whimpering. I blanched at that.

Having my papa and uncle travel back to Murree was a nerve-wracking journey. Papa and Uncle Salman had gone back because they wanted some answers; they wanted to be there when they caught Fahad and made him answerable for his actions. The chief had informed my papa that they had Fahad trapped in an old abandoned hut; situated in Murree. Reports showed that he had been staying there, for some time. And, strangely, the hut was described to located som
