Chapter 888
It looked no different from a regr fountain pen.
Just as Skr was about to unscrew the pen to take a look inside, Joe said abruptly, “This isn’t my pen.”
Skr turned back to look at hint and asked, “What do you mean it’s not yours?<b>” </b>
“I’ve never used it before.” Confusion shimmered in Joe’s eyes.
Had he taken someone else’s pen on ident during a meeting?
“I’ll unscrew it to take a look first.” Skr wasn’t <b>sure </b>what was wrong with it. However, it made her severely ufortable. She took it apart within seconds
In the end, she found out what was wrong. There was a tiny, nearly indiscernible bone nestled into the top of its cap. It was tightly stuck to the top. One wouldn’t have noticed it while popping the cap off. If Skr hadn’t examined it thoroughly, she wouldn’t have found it either, nor would she have thought it was a bone.
“Do you have a needle? I’ll try to get the bone out,” said Skr.
“I’ll look for one.” When Joe heard of the bone, his eyes turned cold. Someone had nted a native
item on him without him realizing it!
A few minutester, Joe found a sewing kit. They would use the needle inside.
Skr pried at it with the needle multiple times. After a few attempts, she got part of the bone out. Then, she banged the cap on the table. An ivory–colored <b>thing </b>the size of a sesame seed fell out. It was at most two sesame seeds thick.
“This is part of a skull.”
Skr pulled a tissue from a nearby box and picked the bone up. Then, she wrapped it in tissue.
“Why would it be a skull?” Joe narrowed his eyes.
“Could you recall who gave this to you? This skull belongs to a man who died because of a negative item. He died a gruesome death. His head had been crushed by a carriage. Then, someone collected the pieces of his skull and kept them till now. It has caused the death of a few other people too.
“I don’t think you’ve used this pen before. If not<i>, </i>you would’ve been affected upon opening the cap.” Skr exined calmly.
Joe’s jaw clenched tighter as he listened to her.
“I don’t remember much about this pen,” said Joe.
Someone must’ve slipped this into his penholder while his office was empty. He didn’t lock his office. during office hours.
Skr nodded and said, “I’ll take care of this pen. You must be careful after this. Other than those you trust, don’t let anyone else get close to your office.”
“I’ll get someone to check the surveince footage,” stated Joe. N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
Skr continued looking around. She was even more thorough this time after finding the pen.
The office waspletely silent. This silence was broken when Joe’s phone rang.
“Have you got anything lined up for today? Let’s y together!” Rowan invited.
Joe nced at Skr and replied, “Alright, I’ll head over in a bit.”
After hanging up, he said to Skr, “Rowan invited me to go out with him. Would you like toe?”
Skr’s interest was piqued. She asked, “What are you guys going to do?”
“Badminton.”
“Alright. Give me ten more minutes.”
An hour passed.
