Charley had a bad day already and now there was an emergency call he had to look into immediately. "Some children shouting and crying go have a look. If you need back up call us.", was the message he had received.
*
"Uncle don't do this... Motu is our best friend you cannot kill him", Ram was on his knees begging his uncle. His two brothers were too frightened to even come near his uncle. The uncle was smiling benignly. "Today your Motu is going to be our dinner". Ram also started crying. He was terrified. "Please...please don't do this... he is my... our best friend"

Charley had reached the house. He hit the calling bell. Nobody answered. He shouted through the door even then nobody answered. Then he started hearing the children crying. It was coming from the back of the house. Charley slowly took his gun out and started towards the noise. He was near a window that showed two small boys crying, he could also make out the hand of an elder person holding a butcher knife.
Charley heard the man shouting, "Shut up, enough. Your Motu will be our dinner tonight. We have nothing else."
Charley could not see Motu. He just saw two children crying and they seemed afraid and fearful of something. There was also another boys voice. The boy seemed to be pleading, "Don't kill Motu...please"

The uncle shouted in pain, "Awwwwww", blood was everywhere. "Cant you stay still you stupid..". Ram had literally fainted.

"We have your house surrounded. Surrender now and come out with your hands up", the mike was blaring. The police siren was everywhere.
