Naveen read through the mail that Anjali had forwarded to him. He once again went through the mail a couple of times, this time rereading every single line.
"Epan..asata...epanastasi...What sort of a name is that...all greek and latin" Naveen thought out loud.
"You are right...it is greek. It means revolution in greek. " answered Anjali.
"Hmmm. And this was the only mail that you got from this epana..this person?"
"Yes. As you can see I got this about four days back.After we did a bit of research we took the story live. This was too important to be ignored."
"You should have come to us, as soon as you had got this. Instead you went ahead to use this for your career. A good four day delay. We could have even stopped the remaining 2 if we had a chance"
"COME ON...there is no way that i could have known that this was authentic. Even after running the story we aren't very sure whether this was true until you came around and confirmed it. We receive so many mails everyday talking about everyday miracles to charlatan saints to government conspiracies. How do you expect us to run to the police every time a crazy shoots out a email"
"Anyway what is done is done. The IT team is taking over and they are going to track this down"
A phone beeps. Anjali takes out her phone from a snazzy looking holster.She looks at the small screen intently going over the contents with a serious face.
"Well, your team better get cracking fast. I just got another mail from him."
"Oh god ...not again...scroll down please..."said Naveen, leaning over Anjali and trying to read from the smartphone in her hand.
Anjali obliged.
"So we have three more days to find this idiot.What are we going to do now?" asked Anjali.
"We aren't going to do anything. You are going to keep silent on this. No news..no breaking news...no cover story..nothing. I will mobilize a team and try to track this bastard down within the election day. It's very obvious now that he is following you and has you in his sights. For your own safety, I am telling you this. Stay low. Stay with your friends or relatives till we get this person. Once the situation is safe, I shall tell you. Until that time, please stay out of trouble and out of contact with this mad guy."
Anjali looked a bit miffed and wanted to protest but held her silence as the severity of what Naveen said seeps into her.
"Ok I shall"

took lots of pain to get the perfect backdrop uh???? amazing effort...I am waiting to see how you are planning to take it further, especially as you set the standards high, we will definitely expect more... Good luck to you!
Nice whodunnit mystery, Manoj! Waiting to know the culprit!
In fact if it is okay to do some guesswork, I am suspecting that it might be a lady as in both the scenes there were ladies near the victim!
@viji yup..now you know the reason for the delay...after this i am not sure i am going to spend time on collateral effects like this and let the story do the wonder..
@kavitha
thanks a lot.. the culprit will soon be unveiled but not in the fashion that you have in mind...guesswork is good but unfortunately the guess is wrong.. :) hold on...only two more posts and the story ends
