I rashly drove my car to Charlie's house. But when I went he had already left from there. There was a lock at the door.

I asked to a guard of that area about him so he told me that Charlie left the house with a little boy before an hour because the little boy became ill so he took him to the doctor. I asked him, "Do he saw the little boy?"

He told me," I saw him with the Charlie. He was in a car but was looking ill. Charlie said that he was taking him to the doctor.

I asked, "Which doctor?"

He said, "Sorry sir I don't know but Charlie sir said about you that if you come to me there was an address of the doctor at his door."

I ran back to the door of Charlie. I saw an envelope over there seen half under the door. I pull it and then open to read. There was a letter.


Hey James,

I know you are searching for Iris but Iris wasn't here if you want him so meet me at the Lysma Avenue at 5:00p.m. with a bag filled with 50,000$ and remember don't even try to contact to police otherwise you can take the dead body of Iris in that same bag.


Your lovely Friend,

Charlie

I closed the letter. I took all my money but it becomes only 30,000$ so I took 20,000$ from my other friend for some days and took it all to the given point at 5:00p.m.

I took all the money and went to Lysma Avenue. A person wearing black mask came to me. I asked about Iris. He took Iris with him. So I gave him all the money and take Iris back. I called immediately to the police now because now Iris is in my save hands. Police immediately come there and caught Charlie. Police declared Charlie as a mental patient because they said Charlie burn the bag with money only few ashes found there. Mr. Hay come back to her house.

Everything becomes fine but Iris wasn't looking fine. Mrs. Hay told me that Iris didn't eat the food for two days. I thought he was not eating because of Mrs. Hay but now what's the problem.

I went to him he was sitting on his bed. Mr. Hay took me to him. He looks like that he didn't see me.
So I said to him, "Today is my birthday, You have Mrs. Hay but I don't have anyone to celebrate my Birthday. Can you please come with me to celebrate my birthday."

But Iris didn't answer me.

I said then, "Iris I think you can understand my pain because you know what we feel when we have nobody with us, I have no one to celebrate it, if you don't want to eat the food then it's okay just come with me."

Iris see me and stand up.

I said, "Mrs. Hay, Go and be ready we are going to Rental Delight Restaurant."


We all were now ready to go there. At the door, Mrs. Hay gave me a gift. I refused her a lot saying that today isn't my birthday, I only said this to convince Iris. She said," I knew son, You do a lot for us, so if you take this it makes me to feel satisfied." I took the gift and placed it in my car.

At Rental Delight Restaurant, I called the waiter. He came with the food. I said, "Mrs. Hay, there's a cheesy chicken pasta for you, cheese burger for Iris, and a Russian Salad for me. It's all your Favorite." Mrs. Hay smiled and slightly down his head to thanks me and said, "OH! cheese, how you know Iris love cheese. Iris ..."But Iris behavior was now not normal. He looks anxious. Because of his behavior we have to leave that place without eating the food. I asked Mrs. Hay about Iris she told me that Iris love to eat cheese. I told her that I gave him cheese before but he wasn't eat that time Is problem in cheese? Mrs. Hay said to me, "Don't worry, Iris need some time, soon he become fine."

I replied, "Hope so."
