The Mysterious Disappearance
A/N: Heyyy there! I know may of you must be wondering what on earth am I up to re-editing the chapter... :P The story remains the same, only that instead of 8 negligible and painfully small chapters, I've now converted this into a 2-chapter story, which makes it more satisfying to read.
If you've already read thism, feel free to ignore it 9unless you might want to re-read it) and if you haven't, give it a shot! ;)
Now, not wasting precious time any further, happy reading! :D
P.S. (they never seem to end, do they) This is based way back in 2010-2011, so I've used the characters and the CID Team according to that... :)
It was in the night when the Qualis was on the highway. Daya, Abhijeet and Freddy were on their way back home after a hectic case.
Freddy: Chalo accha hai, case solve ho gaya, ab main finally chutti le sakta hoon, aur iss bahaane wife ko bhi ghumaane le jaa sakta hoon.
Abhijeet: Wah bhai! ACP sir ke tumko chutti de diya, aur hum jab bhi maangte hai, tab toh woh dete nahi!
Daya: (to Abhijeet) Boss, lagta hai ab humein bhi shaadi kar leni chahiye. Tab hamare paas bhi Freddy ki tarah "wife" ka bahaana hoga chutti lene ke liye!
While Freddy gives out one of his offended expressions, the DUO cannot stop laughing, and seeing them even Freddy breaks into a laughter. All the three start laughing when suddenly Abhijeet's phone rings.
After hanging up, Freddy questions Abhijeet about the phone call, but Abhijeet clearly denies the question saying that the call wasn't important. The later part of the journey was rather silent. Freddy had fallen asleep and Daya knew that Abhijeet had lied to Freddy about the phone call and fairly even had an idea who it was. Abhijeet wanted to talk to Daya about it, but he knew it won't be worth taking the risk because if Freddy would come to know about it, it would have been quite a problem. So they just waited to reach Freddy's home to drop him. And last when they reached:
Freddy: (yawning) Goodnight sir…
Abhijeet: Good night…
Daya: Aur haan, apna khyaaal rakhna aur bhabhiji ko hamare taraf se hello..
Abhijeet: Waise tumhari chutti kabse start ho rahi hai?
Freddy: Agle hafte se…..
Abhijeet smiles and Freddy goes to his house. Daya and Abhijeet are relieved to be left with some privacy. They discuss the phone call and about some matters when they take a small break in between, but what they did not know was how costly this break was going to cost them…
Next Day...
ACP sir is in the Bureau. He seems to be very tensed. All the others notice his tension and then Freddy decides to raise the question going on in everyone's minds. He approaches ACP sir and questions him about his tension.
Freddy: Kya baat hai Sir, aap bohot pareshaan lag rahe ho?
ACP: (irritably) Haan Freddy baat hi waisi hai! Yeh Abhijeet aur Daya dono phone nahi utha rahe hai! Waise, kya tumhari aaj baat hui hai dono se?
Freddy: (thinking) Nahi sir, par kyun?
ACP: Freddy time dekho! 1 bajne ko aaya hai! Aur aaj tak 13 saal ki duty mein kabhi bhi Abhijeet aur Daya Bureau mein late nahi aaye hai!
Vivek: (entering the conversation now) Sir shaayad dono ki chhuti li hongi. Isiliye phone switched off aa raha hai…..
ACP: Nahi Vivek, agar aisi baat hoti toh dono mein se koi bhi mujhe phone karke inform kar deta! Nahi, yeh kuch aur hi chakkar hai! Ek kaam karte hai, Abhijeet ke ghar chalkar hi dekh lete hai!
Tasha: Haan Sir, phir uske baad, Daya sir ke ghar chalkar bhi dekh lete hai..
ACP: Nahi Tasha, Daya pichle do mahino se Abhijeet ke saath hi reh raha hai..
Vivek: Par kyun sir?
ACP: Pata nahi kyun, lekin ab inn sabhi sawaalon ka jawaab Abhijeet ke ghar jaake hi milega…
The team reaches Abhijeet's house. They find the house locked.
ACP: Abhijeet ke ghar pe toh tala laga hua hai.
Sachin: Ab kya karein sir?
ACP: Ek kaam karo, uss gamle ke piche ghar ki ek duplicate chaabi hai, use ghar ka darwaaza kholo.
Sachin: Paar sir….. ?
ACP: Main jaisa kehta hoon waise karo!
Sachin: Okay sir.
Sachin goes to a pot near the entrance of the house and finds underneath it a key. He then brings the key to ACP with which he opens the door, and the CID Team enter the house. . They find the house in a bit dusty condition. ACP assumes that they must have not returned home yesterday.
ACP: (touching the dust) Yeh ghar ko dekhkar toh aisa lagta hai jaise koi bhi 2 dino dino se ghar per raha hi nahi hai! (turning to Freddy) Achha Freddy ek baat batao, kal jab Abhijeet aur Daya tumhein ghar chhod rahe the, tab raaste mein kya koi ajeeb baat hui, ya raaste mein kuch ajeeb dekha?
Freddy: Nahi sir…. (then remembering the incident) Haan sir, kal raaste mein Abhijeet sir ko ek phone aaya, lekin jab maine unse iske bare mein pucha tab unhone koi jawaab nahi diya…
ACP: Oh… iska matlab zaroor kuch na kuch ko gadbad hai Freedy, kuch na kuch toh gadbad hai!
Just then his cell phone starts ringing, and he answers the call.
ACP: Hello, ACP Pradyuman here… accha…. kya! Kahan par? Theek hai hum log abhi pohonchte hai!
Sachin: Kya hua sir?
ACP: Abhi ek Rupesh naam ke aadmi ka phone tha… keh raha tha ki highway par ek sunsaan gaadi mili hai, aur gaadi ka number Daya ki gaadi ka number hai!
Vivek: Kya!
ACP: Humein ab highway par bulaya hai… Sachin, Kaajal tum dono yahi par raho aur dekho agar Abhijeet aur Daya ke bare mein kuch aur pata chalta hai kya. Aur Freddy, Vivek, Tasha, tum log mere saath chalo…
The Team reach the highway where the car is located. At once they recognize that the car is none other than Daya's Qualis. They rush toward the Qualis, and start examining it very closely.
ACP: (noticing a lot of blood) My God! Itna saara khoon! Iska matlab yeh accident kafi bhayankar hua hoga.
Freddy: (almost crying) Sir, pata nahi Abhijeet sir aur Daya sir kis haal mein honge….
Vivek: Sir, gaadi ke aas paas ghaseetne ke nishaan bhi mila hai sir.
Tasha: Sir, kahin Abhijeet sir aur Daya sir ko kidnap toh nahi kiya gaya?
Freddy: Nahi Tasha, aisa mat socho…. Pehle main saare hospitals mein jaake pata lagata hoon ki Abhijeet sir aur Daya sir ko koi leke aaya tha ya nahi…..
Everybody's expressions drop.
Vivek: Sir, mujhe toh Abhijeet air aur Daya sir ke bare mein aisa sochkar bhi yakeen nahi ho raha hai….
ACP: (in a low voice) Vivek, tasha, ek kaam karo, gaadi ke aaspass jungle mein jaake dekho ki kuch milta hai kya, aur Freddy, tum jaake saare hospitals se phone par poochtach karo aur dekho ki Abhijeet aur Daya ke bare mein koi khabar milti hai ya nahi, tab tak main gaadi ki talaashi karta hoon…..
After examining for 10 minutes…
Vivek: Sir! Yeh dekhiye, yahan par mujhe Daya sir ga gun, badge aur cell mila hai!
Just then, even Tasha calls out from the opposite direction and shows them that she had found Abhijeet's gun, batch and cell. She also shows them a bit of paper, which seems to have been written in Abhijeet's handwriting. The paper had some numbers written over it:
816
23101975
12041997
41251
They examine the paper, and make out a fair idea.
ACP: Isse dekhne se lagta hai ki yeh koi code word hai!
Tasha: Yahan aas pass dekhne se yahi lagta hai sir ki Abhijeet sir aur Daya sir dono ko kidnap kar liya hai….
Vivek: Arre Tasha, itni jaldi haar mat mano,… Abhi Freddy sir hospital mein phone karke poochtach kar rahe hai hai…
Suddenly Freddy came running and told that none of the hospitals have any record of either both of them being admitted. Tasha tells Freddy about the situation. ACP then orders Tasha and Vivek to take all these evidences to Dr. Salunkhe, while he and Freddy would go to the Bureau, and inquire with Sachin and Kaajal about it, and ask them to get the phone records of Abhijeet and Daya. All are now worried about the DUO as to in what condition they must be in…
In a dim lighted room, Abhijeet and Daya are fallen unconscious. Their hands and legs are bounded and there is a thin handkerchief tied around their mouths each.
Abhijeet slowly opens his eyes, remembering the accident that had happened, and felt immense pain in his head. He tried to talk but it was of no use. He suddenly saw Daya stirring up slowly… he seemed to be quite hurt too…. Even he tried to speak but it was definitely of no use… they started fidgeting with their hands and feet, but in vain…. Instead all it did was increase the pain more for them… Both the DUO soon lost hope as they knew the ropes were way to strong, or they were weak at the moment…. So they started scanning the room slowly… Abhijeet noticed the main door. He scanned it properly and started dragging himself toward the door.
Daya could not understand what Abhijeet was doing as he could clearly see that even Abhijeet was badly hurt. He tried to stop Abhijeet from doing so, but Abhijeet paid no heed to him. After quite a painful dragging, he finally made it to the door. Now slowly he tried to take support from the door and made himself in a sitting position. After succeeding, now he tried to stand up. It was a bit difficult since even his legs were tied up. But slowly and steadily he made himself in a standing position.
Daya still stared at Abhijeet, tried to drag himself toward him, but it was quite difficult. He could not understand what Abhijeet had seen in the door that he was doing such stunts. But what Abhijeet had noticed was the door handle. The door was bolted, and from the key hole, an "L" shaped nail handle was connected with it which was like a lever, so that the door could get jammed from inside. It seemed as if there was such a lever outside and the door could only be accessed from outside. What could Abhijeet possibly be doing was his question. But Abhijeet had different plans. He did not attempt to open the door, instead he attempted to free himself.
He bent his head towards the nail handle in such a way that the sharp edge of the nail perfectly got in between his cheek and the handkerchief. He then tried to twist and turn his head around, and soon the nail had made a hole through the handkerchief. He then started pulling himself away from the door, but the handkerchief was preventing him from doing so. And, as he started applying more force, the handkerchief started getting more looser and at last the handkerchief had been torn into two. He had finally been able to manage to get the handkerchief off his mouth!
ACP and Freddy reached the Bureau while Vivek and Tasha went to the Forensic Lab in order to give Salunkhe all the items. They tell them all about the accident and the assumption of the DUO's kidnapping and Salunkhe and Tarika get extremely shocked.
On the other hand, ACP and Freddy get a surprise when seeing DCP in the Bureau. ACP wishes him good evening, and seems quite surprised seeing DCP suddenly, because everyone believed that whenever he showed his face, he always came up with bad news. DCP notices this and questions ACP about this and he answers that he was only taken aback by DCP's sudden appearance. DCP then looks around the Bureau and notices that Abhijeet, Daya, Tasha and Vivek are missing. He inquires about this with ACP sir, he replies that Vivek and Tasha are in the Forensic Lab, but does not tell about the DUO's kidnapping. However DCP seems to be very interested in knowing about the absence of the DUO, and forces ACP to speak out the truth. With much hesitation ACP tells DCP about the whole kidnapping of the DUO which leaves DCP extremely shocked, worried and puzzled. He inquires further if any information was found about the DUO.
ACP: Nahi sir, isse pehle ki humein kuch pata chalta, aap yahan aa gaye. Maine Sachin aur Kaajal ko yahan pe chhoda tha, pata lagaane ke liye. (he call them both) Sachin, Kaajal, tumhein kuch pata chala kya?
Sachin: Nahi sir, filhaal toh kuch bhi nahi sir.
Freddy: Sachin, tum ek kaam karo, tum Abhijeet sir aur Daya sir ke phone records mobile company se mangwa lo.
Sachin: Okay sir.
ACP: (suddenly remembering) Lekin sir aap yahan kyun aaye hai?
Dcp: (looking disturbed) Urrmm…. Woh baat yeh thi ki humein pakki khabar mili hai ki koi bohot khatarnak mafia gang parson (day after tomorrow) kahin pe ek bohot bada deal sign karne waale hai.
ACP: Kaisa deal?
DCP: Pradyuman, iss deal ke baad iss desh mein har 6 mahine laakhon ki consinements aane waali hai, drugs ki, ammunations ki aur nakli rupiyon ki.. aur tum toh jaante hi ho ki agar aisa hua toh kya kya ho sakta hai…
ACP: Par humein toh iss case ke bare mein kuch bhi pata nahi hai…. Toh hum do dino mein kaise in logon ke bare mein pata laga paaayenge?
DCP: Well, tumhari information ke liye, iss case par Abhijeet aur Daya dono kaam kar rahe the!
ACP: Kya! Lekin aapne humein yeh baat bataya kyun nahi?
DCP: Yeh ek top secret case tha, aur hum unn dono ko test karna chahte the ki aakhir 13 saal ke experience ke baad, who log kaise yeh case apne aap solve kar paate hai. Aur woh successful bhi hai! Unko uss gang ke bare mein saara information mil gaya tha. Unhone mujhe bataya tha ke parson, yeh mafia gang ka mastermind bhi aayega, apne saare gang members ke saath! Aur yeh ek bohot bada haath hoga! Par ab Abhijeet aur Daya hi gaayab hai!
ACP: Toh phir ab hum kaise pata lagaayenge in sab ke baare mein?
DCP: Dekho Pradyuman, iss case par Abhijeet aur Daya se pehle, Sr. Inspector Avantika kaam kar rahi thi. Usse bohot kuch pata hoga. Main kal usse Bureau bhejta hoon.
ACP: Theek hai sir. Hum uska kal intezaar karenge. Shaayad issi wajah se Abhijeet aur Daya ko kidnap gaya hai. Ab Avantika hi hamari aakhri ummeed hai.
DCP: Haan, so toh hai….. aur ek baat, agar un dono ke baare mein koi bhi khabar mile toh mujhe seedha inform kar dena, samjhe.
ACP: Yes sir.
DCP leaves the office and ACP, Freddy and Kaajal rush to the Forensic Lab leaving Sachin behind to get the phone records.
As Abhijeet finally managed to get the handkerchief from his mouth, he then turned around and tried to pierce the nail carefully in between the second knot of the rope tied on his hands. And since the nail was sharp and strong enough, it did the job well, and the nail made quite a good gap enough for his thumb to enter in, though in the process, he had bruised his hand quite a lot. Abhijeet soon forced the nail out of the gap, and inserted his thumb in that exact spot and then in the next five minutes, Abhijeet had freed his hands too. After that, he opened the knots of the ropes tied around his feet, and rushed towards Daya and freed him off all the ropes.
Abhijeet: (helping Daya up) Tum theek ho?
Daya: Sir (head) mein thoda dard ho raha hai, par theek ho jayega. Aur tum kaise ho?
Abhijeet: Mera bhi kuch waisa hi hai.
Daya: Tum apne aap ko superman samajte ho kya!
Abhijeet: Kyun, maine kya kiya?
Daya: Aise apne aap ko ghassete ja rahe the jaise tum koi phool ke chaadar par lete hue the. Aur who nail! (pulling Abhijeet's hands front) Kitna chot laga hai tumhe uske wajah se! Dikhaayi nahi deta kitna tez hai!
Abhijeet: Arre yaar, main theek hoon ! Aur waise ab yeh socho ke kaise nikalna hai! Agar woh deal ho gayi to bohot problem ho sakti hai. (And suddenly starts feeling his coat pockets) My God! Who paper kahan gaya! Who code word! Agar kisi ghalat haathon lag gaya to musibat ho jaayegi! Pata nahi yeh paper kahan gir gaya!
Daya: Shaayad jub woh kidnappers humein yahan leke aa rahe the, tab woh paper tumhare coat pocket se gira hoga! Lekin Abhijeet, tumhein itna to yaad hain na ki woh gangster kahan pe ruka hua hai?
Abhijeet: Haan.. mujhe yaad hai, woh gangster, Raoul D'silva, Pune mein kisi Hotel Blue Moon mein thehra hua hai… suna tha ki unke baaki log Mumbai mein hi thehre hai, aur sirf yeh aur uske do bodyguards Pune mein ruke hai…
Daya: Hmmm… ab sabse pehle yahan se nikalne ke baad humein DCP sir ko contact karna hoga, aur unse kehna hoga ki who yeh case Avantika ko phir se handle karne ko de kyunki ab woh hi yeh case solve kar sakti hai…. Waise koi raasta mila kya baahar nikalne ke liye?
Abhijeet: Woh handle (pointing to the nail lever) ko dekhkar lagta hai ki yeh darwaaza ko andar se jam karne ke liye lagaya gaya hai, aur yeh lever ka access sirf baahar se hi kiya ja sakta hai. Toh seedhi tarah se darwaaza kol hi nahi sakte hain….
Daya: (winking) Toh kya ungli tedi karein?
Abhijeet: (with a smile) Neki aur pooch pooch?
Daya: Toh phir shubh kaam mein deri kyun?
Daya darts towards the door and kicks it with all his strength. At once the door breaks open and he and Abhijeet exit the room, but what they see next are 6 people, with rods and sticks lying in wait for them. But they weren't going to get scared. They were ready, ready for anything that came in their way…
Abhijeet: 6 hai… kya karein… aadha aadha kar le?
Daya: Kyun nahi….. toh phir der kis baat ki….
And both of them throw themselves between three men each, kicking and punching them off like brave soldiers.
ACP, Freddy and Kaajal arrived in the Lab, while Vivek, Tasha, Salunkhe and Tarika were waiting for them. During the course of time while ACP was with DCP, Salunkhe and Tarika had done all the analyzing.
ACP: (hurriedly entering in) Kya hua Saunkhe, kuch mila kya?
Salunkhe: Kya baat hai boss, sab theek toh hai na? Aisa lag raha hai jaise tum kisise apna jaan bachaakar bhaage ho!
ACP: Arre yaar DCP sir aaye the mujhse milne.
Salunkhe: Kyun? Kya baat ki unhone? Kisi ka transfer karwaane ka iraada hai kya unka?
ACP: Nahi yaar, ek doosri musibat mere sar pe thop ke gaye hai. Pehle hi main Abhijeet aur Daya ko leke pareshan hoon aur upar se yeh. Unka kehna hai ki kal koi dangerous mafia gang ek bohot bada smuggle deal sign karne waale hai, aur agar unhein roka nahi gaya to bohot nuksaan ho sakta hai. Woh case Abhijeet aur Daya hi handle kar rahe the, par jab ki ab woh dono hi kidnap ho gaye hai, toh yeh case ab Sr. Inspector Avantika handle karegi. Yeh case pehle 6 mahine wohi hadle kar rahi thi, par personal problems ke wajah se usse yeh case beech mein hi chhodna pada. Woh kal Bureau aane waali hai.
Salunkhe: waise deal kis baat pe hone waali hai? Aur yeh gangster hai kaun?
ACP: Yeh smuggling deal drugs, ammunations aur forged notes ka hone waala hai, aur yeh wanted gangster Ismail Shah ka hi gang hai. Suna hai who dono bhi parson deal ke dauran shaamil hoga. Waise tumhein kya mila?
Salunkhe: Boss, pehle toh yeh cell phones, batches or guns Abhijeet aur Daya ke hi hai, aur uspe se kisi aur ke ungliyon ke nishaan nahi mile hai.
Kaajal: Sir, kuch pata chala accident kaise hua hoga?
Salunkhe: Gaadi ko Garage mein check karne ke baad pata chala hai ki kisi ne gaadi ke breaks ko kharaab kar diya tha. Shaayad issi wajah se accident hua hai. Shaayad jab Daya aur Abhijeet gaadi mein the, woh gaadi mein break lagaane ke koshish kar rahe the tab gaadi ruka nahi hoga, aur issi wajah se accident ho gaya.
ACP: Aur gaadi ko dekhkar lagta hai, ki saamne se koi gaadi aayi hogi, aur uss gaadi se naa takraane ke chakkar mein gaadi ko ghumaaya gaya hoga aur woh ped ko jaake lag gaya. Aur Abhijeet aur Daya behosh hue honge. Aur tab, iss bahaane un gang waalon ne Abhijeet aur Daya ko gaadi se ghaseetate hue apne gaadi mein le gaye, aur unki saari cheezein jungle mein phenk di, aur shaayad unhone gloves pehne honge, tabhi unke ungliyon ke nishaan nahi aaye, aur kidnapping aasaani se ho gaya. Dekhne waale ko laga hoga ki woh un dono ko hospital le jaa rahe honge, aur kisi ko unpar shak nahi hoga.
Freddy: Par jab main gaadi mein tha, tab toh gaadi theek thaak tha. Yahan tak ki jab mein apne ghar ke saamne gaadi se utara tha tab bhi sab theek tha.
Vivek: Hmmm…. Iska matlab hai sir, yeh breaks shaayad Freddy sir aur Abhijeet sir ke ghar ke raaste ke beech main kharaab kiya gaya hai.
Kaajal: Par chalti gaadi ke beech main breaks to kaise kharaab kiya jaa sakta hai?
Freddy: Shaayad Abhijeet sir aur Daya sir ne raaste mein kahi gaadi rok di. Aur usi dauran shaayad kisi ne gaadi ke breaks ke saath chedchaad ki hogi.
Tasha: Sir, jahan tak mujhe yaad hai, accident spot se 10km pehle ek grocery store hai… shaayad wahi gaadi rok di ho.
ACP: Hmmm… ho sakta hai… theek hai Tasha, tum kal subah jaake sabse poochtach karo in sabke baare mein….(turning to Salunkhe) Accha aur uss khoon ka kya hua….
Salunkhe: (sadly) Boss, who khoon Abhijeet aur Daya ka hi hai….
ACP: Aur uss kaagaz se kuch aur pata chala jo hum laaye hai?
Tarika: Sir, yeh kaagaz pe toh Abhijeet ki hi handwriting hai par isse study karne par lagta hai ke yeh numbers kisi code ki tarah lagta hai….
ACP: Codes…
Freddy: Sir, ho sakta hai, inn codes ka uss smuggling waale case se koi taaluk ho.
ACP: Haan, ho sakta hai….
(At the time, Sachin enters)
Sachin: Sir mobile company se pata chala hai ki Daya sir ke mobile phone par aakhri phone call 976348215 ke number se aaya hai jo (pointing towards ACP sir) aapka hi hai sir.
ACP: Haan, maine Daya ko yeh yaad dilaane ke liye phone kiya tha ki aaj usse Central Jail jaakar ek qaidi ko wahan se court le jaana hai… aur Abhijeet ke phone par aakhri call kiska tha?
Sachin: Sir, yeh number 98174628 se aaya hai, kareeban 9:15 ko. Aur yeh number kisi Nagesh ka hai.
Freddy: Nagesh….. Nagesh…. Arre haan, yeh to Abhijeet sir ka khabri hi hai…. Aur uss raat Abhijeet sir ko bhi ussi time pe who phone aaya tha….
ACP: Ohhh… toh yeh chakkar hai…. Freddy, ek kaam karo, iss Nagesh ko kal contact karo, aur usse jitna ho sake, information nikaalne ki koshish karo…. Tab tak Avantika bhi aa jaayegi…. Ab bas kal ka sooraj kuch accha le aaye….
Abhijeet and Daya are still fighting the men. 4 are already knocked off and two are still remaining. The DUO, especially Abhijeet seems to be draining out due to the injuries and then whole rescuing. But still he manages to fight Guy 1 properly.
On the other hand Daya and Guy 2 were at a par when fighting, so it was a bit difficult. However Abhijeet is able to knock out Guy 1, as while fighting, he finds a rod and gives him a weak blow with it. But he himself falls down due to the exhaustion.
On the other hand Daya and Guy 2 are still in a big scuffle. Abhijeet manages to regain consciousness when he notices something. He sees Guy 1 has retained consciousness and is now holding another rod and is creeping towards Daya. He knew what the guy was intending, and he needed to save Daya somehow. He looked around him to notice that there is a gun near him. He wastes no time, swipes the gun and tries to shoot. His vision starts blurring all of a sudden, but he has to take the risk, and BANG…. The bullet right away goes and hits Guy 1 on his shoulder and he falls down.
Daya and Guy 2 are suddenly shocked by the gunshot but Daya quickly snaps out of it, and before Guy 2 could come back to himself, Daya had knocked him out too. He rushed to Abhijeet, and tries to wake him up.
Daya: Abhijeet? Abhijeet! (after seeing him getting up feebly) Tum theek toh ho?
Abhijeet: Ha..haan…. (Daya helps him up) Pata nahi aankhon ke saamne achhaanak andhera sa chaa gaya tha.
Abhijeet was now backing the unconscious men and Daya was facing. Suddenly Daya saw Guy 1 getting up again moaning, but this time with a gun that dropped from Guy 2 when he was knocked out himself. He knew what was going to happen and at once pushed Abhijeet out of the way, barely in time when a second BANG erupted. Abhijeet falls on the ground, and the bullet hits Daya's left arm. Daya falls down, and seeing him, Abhijeet at once tries to crawl over to Daya's side, but before he can do anything else, Guy 1 creeps behind him and hits him with the gun on his head after which Abhijeet too is made unconscious…
I had to make this chapter shorter than the next one to leave it on a suitable cliffhangar! Abhijeet and Daya are once again in trouble? Will they manage to get themselves free once again? And how will Avantika help in disclosing the case to CID? Read to find out! :D
