“All Is Dark”

 

Night had been very deep and wet; winter was in its complete mood. In the darkness, the white fog was flowing silently, like a calm stream. A man was standing on the footpath, wore a dark jacket, covered his face with a black mask, and both hands put in his pockets. He was seeing cautiously in general.

The area in which he was standing was dark and dull, all shops had been closed and street lights were off due to unknown reasons. A few moments later another man reached there, he likewise wore a dark dress and covered his face with a black mask, it seemed that he's the friend of the first man. He asked the first man, "Everything is alright"? 

“Yeah, everything is good" he replied in a low voice. 

Did anybody suspect you"? 

"No, I think nobody saw me as coming here".

“Okay. Correct 1 o'clock we would move."

"Alright, 15 minutes are left".

“Where did you drop the car?" 

"Backside of this alley." 

The two of them were silent for a while. Then a policeman appeared from one side to perform his routine duty. The first man said aloud to his friend, “Did you tell him the correct address? Will he reach here at a time?"

"Hun! Yeah, yeah, of course, he'll reach soon". The second man replied confusedly.

The policeman saw them with a little wondering. 

"Our friend is coming from another city, we’re waiting for him. He is our close friend; we’ll meet after a very long time. The first man said to the policeman with a smile. 

The policeman nodded his head and moved ahead saying "good luck with your friend". 

“Now it is at 1 o’clock we should go now." The first man said to his friend. 

He consciously chose the place where it was dark. They both stood there for about fifteen minutes then another person was seen coming from one side, they both became more attentive. He was also wearing a black suit and covered his face with a mask. He approached them and said to the first man,

"Hello, Mr. Johnson"! And then to the other man, "Hello Mr. Smith." Together they replied, "Hello." He then said, "All is dark, All is dark." They both repeated too. "All is dark, all is dark."

After sharing their codes a third man put out a black packet from his pocket. And the first man also put out another black packet from his black coat. When they exchanged their packets the third man returned to go then the same police guard appeared from the little dark alley.

They hid their packets under the coats, the guard reached near them. The first man pretended to have a normal conversation with each other.

"How much cold tonight"?

“Definitely, it's very freezing."

"Did you reach comfortably here"?

"Yeah, of course, I didn’t get any problem."

Then he spoke to the guard, he is our friend which we were waiting for. He's our nice friend, meeting after a long time. "

But this time guard didn't ignore it; he put out his revolver, pointed to the three men, and shouted, 

"Raise your hands, you're under arrest."

 All the men raised their hands. The second man spoke,  "I think you’ve misunderstood we’re not criminals."

The police guard replied, “We know about you, you're drug dealers and you gathered here for a drug deal. Now hand over your packets to me quickly and kneel."

The first man whose name was Johnson tried to put out a pistol from his back, but the police guard shouted, 

"Don't try to be smart even don't think about escaping, I'm not alone.  You have been surrounded by all sides by the police." 

But the third man didn't take it seriously and suddenly he kicked the guard cleverly. The guard and his gun dropped down. The third man moved ahead to pick his gun but before he could pick it up the second man whose name was Smith pointed a gun at him and shouted,

"Don't touch the guard and his gun, raise your hand, you're under arrest." 

The first man saw wondering to his friend, "What’re you doing this, my dear friend?"

"I'm not your friend Johnson. I’m not Smith. I'm a secret service agent, oh, are you wondering? Okay, I'll explain, we were informed a drug deal would occur in this area tonight. We already captured your friend Smith and after interrogation, he told us about you and your third man who'll come to this area at this time. Then I came here to become your friend. And after that, you know the whole story. 

Now you're surrounded by the police. You're under arrest."
