Everybody knows that Nick is not that kind of person so that he indulges himself in some vulgar activities and gets that virus. One of Nick's friends Mark; final year student of medicines reveals an imperceptible point. He told Nick that if he was HIV positive then his wounds couldn't be healed as quickly as they did. The conclusion is clear that Nick has surely got this virus after he has been admitted to the hospital. Why and who will inject this virus in the body of Nick's body is the prime question now.

Nick's case has gained immense popularity and media is covering each and every aspect of that. Police is also under immense pressure to solve this case very quickly. Police find only one suspicious person, the doctor under whom Nick was getting the treatment Dr. Newman Jackson. A great doctor known for his valuable contributions in the field of medicine but unfortunately he is also the father of Nick's archrival Samuel Jackson. Police got the man they wanted to make a case. On the next morning Dr. Newman is apprehended for founding guilty of improper treatment and injecting the lethal virus in Nick's body.

Newm called his friend JamE a private detective and part time lawyer. Newm knows that he is the person who can save him and understand his agony. JamE had the experience of solving such a case against a doctor of improper treatment. JamE met his friend Newm and assured him "If you are innocent no one can prove you guilty in the court. God will save you and I will reveal the inkling from him." JamE examined the Beach Sandy hospital, collected all the reports of the Nick case. He collected information of each and every part of the case right from the college elections to the arrest of Newm. He talked to Sam and asked him "tell me Sam if u did it, I need to know that to compile my case." Sam told him "Its true that Nick is in the hospital because of me but I never wanted to kill him. No one believes me if I say so and I cant prove that also but believe me if you can." After hearing to Sam, JamE said "Thanks Sam I never wanted to win a foul case". Before JamE can find something for the support of his case the date of the case has come.

Court Scene - I

Prosecution was well prepared with the case and they start to prove Newm guilty. JamE needs more time to fully investigate the case for that he has to prove something in favor of his client. So he question the ward boy Alex; who is the eyewitness according to the police. JamE: So what you saw Alex Alex: I saw Dr. Newm talking to his son on the phone, I heard him saying, I have given nurse the bottle of injection and no one can save him (Nick) now JamE: Interesting can you tell the court the date and time on which all that happened.

He shrugged and drawled after thinking "it was 13th September and it was … around 5 in evening". JamE: I want to call the nurse on duty on 13 September in the court "Permission granted," said the judge. The nurse entered the court without being aware of the earlier proceedings. JamE: Did you aware of the fact that the injection you are giving to Nick contain some kind of virus. Please try to remember it was on September 13th and Dr. Newm gave you the bottle of injection.
