Chapter 2
"Hello? ACP Pradyumn here.." ACP said as he responded to the call, and all the other CID officers were busy either congratulating Daya or teasing him, in Abhijeet's case.
"Daya, I wonder when you would be getting marriage?" Abhijeet said with a grin on his face, which earned several mischievous sounds from the others and caused a little shade of red to creep upon Daya's face.
"Well... I don't quite actually know, but..." he turned his gaze to Dr Tarika, which was well understood by others.
"I guess you have succeeded in finding a perfect match" Daya said and it was Abhijeet's turn to turn red.
"Oh no no no! I'm still looking in the pond for the right fish" Abhijeet said slowly and also looked at Tarika, causing her to smile back.
"What? You sure it was him?" ACP Pradyumn exclaimed as he talked on the phone. Soon afterwards he put down the phone and proceeded towards the group.
"What happened, Sir?" Abhijeet asked looking at the worried expression of ACP.
"It was the call from Abhishek..." ACP started which caused everyone's ears to perk up. Yes, the person's name which caused the officer's to tense up was one of their own.
Inspector Abhishek was an undercover, working midst the underworld today provide the information to the officials.
"What's with him, Sir?" Daya asked back.
"He told me that Inspector Shankar's dead... His cover was blown while he was trying to make a deal for the group... His entire family is dead" ACP said as his hand reached to his forehead massaging it a bit. Everyone in the room grew dull, the air of joy in the atmosphere was murdered by the newly prevailing ghastly silence.
"And there's a good news" ACP added, but after hearing the news of your comrade being killed, nothing could be good.
"And that is?" Tarika asked.
"That is, a new officer would be joining us today"
Everyone eased up a bit, a new comer would mean new talent to be added up to the squad. That was definitely a good thing.
"When's he coming?" Daya inquired.
" 'She' to be correct, and she would be coming about 12" ACP said.
"Hmm... Then we should be ready to welcome her, so I suggest in mean time we should get rid of our pending work" He added again and went up to his cabin.
Everyone too buzzed off today mind their respective business. Maybe a new entry would be good.
AT 12, CID BUREAU.
Everyone were busy in their own chores, when suddenly the door opened, and a figure could be seen entering. She wore a sweet scent that could be felt as soon as she entered. All the officers gathered up to meet the newcomer.
"Ah, greetings Anjali!" ACP said putting her hand out, and was greeted back by the said person.
"Good Morning, Sir" she greeted back. Anjali was a girl of very clear complexion, the height, exactly to be 5'9", her figure well maintained, long back-length brown hairs tied into a single braid, and with clear black eyes. She was wearing a semi green shirt and black pants that were hugging her long legs. If one were to see her, they would mistake her to be an actress, and would surely exclaim upon learning of her true profession.
She was also greeted by everyone simultaneously after then.
"Welcome, Anjali" Daya said shaking her hand.
"Thanks, Sir"
"Oh, no, not the Sir thing, Daya would work fine" He said smiling at her.
"Alright, Daya" Anjali said smiling back too. Her presence seemed to lighten up every one's mood. A new person was there to laugh at Frederick's folly, a new person to share the pressure of the situation with, a new person to tease Abhijeet about his crush, and a new to person to embrace as a family. But of all person, Daya seemed to be the most pleased, maybe she would be the one who he was looking for.. Time will tell.
Shortly after she was made acquainted with the place, the phone kept at ACP's desk rang
"Yes, ACP Pradyumn here.."
"Sir, I'm calling from Bandra, there's a body lying in my neighbourhood! You should see it!"
"Alright, we're coming!" ACP said as he put down the phone and got ready to move, he already explained the situation to everyone, and all of them sat in their car.
"Alright, ready to move?" Daya said asking everyone, his eyes looking at the officers seated in the backseat. All of them nodded, and they zoomed off.
His eyes still looked at the new girl. Why does he feel different looking at the girl, it was a feeling he didn't feel looking at Tasha, Purvi aur any other female comrade. Why her? He felt as if he should leave it to his heart to decide. Brain has no business to butt in.
Right?
