Early January 1990, a letter was delivered to Jehu, a retired Nazi's soldier, who was now living among the Canadians. On the sealed envelope was "Painful exit" written in red ink. He wondered whose death it was. He was an orphan. Reluctantly, he pulled out the seal and reached for the letter.
Lieutenant Cornelius has been murdered. The suitcase he was holding was taken, no one knows what was in it the letter read.
Jehu had met Lieutenant Cornelius a few months before his retirement, he never knew much about him but remembered Cornelius once told him about the briefcase containing some vital secrets. No one knew what the secret was, but then Jehu became anxious. If Cornelius had lost his life as a result of it, then it was worth digging to know the truth.
Jehu traveled down to Germany to investigate the murder of his dear friend. He looked around the scattered room, his shoes and clothes thrown carelessly on the other side of the room, everywhere was in a mess. He recalled Cornelius sounded disturbed the last time they spoke on phone, his mood wasn't as lively as he knew him to be. The only sentence he still recalled vividly was "I'm being followed" . He blamed himself for never asking who his friend suspected. He scanned the disorganized room hoping to find answers, but then if only he had a clue of what was in the briefcase, it would have helped him fetch out suspects.

An intriguing situation arises with the arrival of a mysterious letter that has to do with events that happened almost half a century ago. The former Nazi wants to get to the truth. The open ending keeps the suspense going. Thanks for posting this story on @theinkwell, @dwixer. Thanks also for the comments to the other stories.
This is quite an interesting story, almost felt Like I was watching a movie. And then you decided to leave us in suspense lol.
YOUR CLOSEST FRIENDS ARE YOUR WORSE ENEMY, a sentence that is the key to the story and the key to Cornelius'case. In real life, best friends can be worst enemies. Even the best enemy is no worse than a hateful friend.@dwixer | I want more. Interesting, but the most interesting and memorable of course:
short short story. I bet you could have completed it in another four or five paragraphs and not left us in suspense!A very nice piece of writing, @dwixer! We do look for resolution in a story... not just open endings. This is a very
