The locality where they lived was in a desolated area. After 9: 00 pm no one but the residents were seen there. Only there was on store located at ten minutes' walk. Tarika was watching TV when she had a sudden cramp. It was her cycle starting but she didn't had the supplies.

"Oh no!" she cursed. She did some temporary arrangements, took her purse and left. The alley was dark, no street-lights except one which was getting on and off second after second. There was no one seen. She reached the store, took the supplies and started her return journey.

When she had come the half way, she saw some reflections. There were three men and a woman. One of the men had a gun and he was holding another one by his collar. While the other man and woman stood watching. Tarika was horrified. Luckily, there was a car parked at the distance and Tarika hid behind it. She focused hard to look at the gun-man's face but she couldn't due to the darkness. Suddenly the man shoot the other one right in the middle of his heart and he died on the spot. The bulb that was on ON-OFF mode was there and for a glimpse of second she saw the man's face. She was horrified to see it was none other than the society secretary Shaam.

"M-mm-mein k-kyu karu ab?" she panicked. "C. I. D"

She took out her cell but it was off due to down battery. "Ab kya karu. Ab to phone bhi kaam nhi ker raha." Tarika was still thinking when a car came, the two men and the woman sat in there and left. Tarika came out of her cover and went towards the body. She sat there looking for an ID or something but the murderer had took all his belongings with themselves.

"Yeh to maar gya." Tarika shrieked. Before she could think what to do next, a car drive in the lane. She stood in the middle of road and gestured to driver to stop. The driver applied brakes and Tarika came to the driving seat.

"Arre ap?" Abhijeet smiled and then noticed Tarika's dress was bloody. Just then, he shifted his gaze towards the body. "Oh no!"

Abhijeet stepped out of the car and went towards the body.

"Manoj!" Abhijeet said looking at the body. "Tum ne maar diya isse?"

Tarika was shaking with horror, "N-n-nnh-iii mein ne n-nnhi maaara is ko . Wo S-shhh-sshaa-mmm."

"Natak maat kro. Tum body ke sath akeli ho or tumhare kapro per yeh khoon. You are under arrested Miss Tarika." Abhijeet said in his most professional manner.

"Nhi…" Tarika was stunned. "Tum?"

"Senior Inspector Abhijeet C. I. D. Mumbai." Abhijeet introduced her. He took his cell out and called the C. I. D team and then he called Daya to come.

Abhijeet had a pair of handcuffs in his car so he cuffed Tarika's hands with the car door so she might not run away. H, himself, was standing beside scared Tarika. He didn't examined the body because he wasn't wearing gloves. Daya came earlier as the house was located on five minute drive. As he saw the body, then Abhijeet and Tarika, he came to know about the matter. Daya handed the gloves to Abhijeet and both examined the body.

"Goli aar paar ho gai hai jism ke. Lagta hai bohat qareen se maari hai." Abhijeet gave an imtermiediate report.

"Point blank range, Beretta 92FS 9mm, angle straight 90 degree, died at spot." Tarika calmed herself and spoke. Abhijeet and Daya looked at her in disbelief. Just then the CID team arrived alongwith Salunke.

Just as Salunke and ACP saw Tarika then said at once, "Tarika!"

"Sir ap kese jante hein inhein?" Abhijeet said.

"Yeh Tarika hai. Doctor Tarika, ye kal se as a Forensics Expert join karne wali thin." Salunke replied.

"Per mere nhi khiyal ke ye ab ker pye gi. She is the prime suspect in this case." Saying this Abhijeet narrated the whole scenario. Also Tarika's judgements about the weapon. ACP instructed Abhijeet to un-cuff her and he did.

"Ab bolo Tarika kya hua tha?" ACP asked.

"Sir wo mein jab yaha ponchi to do admi or ek orat they or unho ne is admi ko pakra hua tha. Phr Shaam, sham jee ne isse mar diya or ekk car ai jis me beth ker wo chale gye." Tarika said.

"Ek minute, ek minute. Kya name liya tum ne?" Daya asked.

"Shaam jee." Tarika replied with a question in her eyes.

"Jhoot bool rahi ho tum. Shaam kaka to mere sath they." Daya said.

"Kya!" ACP's eyes widened. "Tarika or kch yaad kro, kch bhi, koi chorti si say choti baat. Wo dikhta kesa tha, kya pehna tha. Car ka number note kiya tha tum ne?" ACP asked.

"Sir andheera tha to mein theek se to dekh nhi pail lkn MH-02-1054.. agge se nhi yaad. Us ke hath per ekk tattoo tha, ek smiley ball ka tattoo." Tarika stressed but she couldn't remember.

"Smiley ball. Mtlb yeh ussi gang ka kaam hai. Per Manoj…" Abhijeet said.

"Manoj? Tum jante ho isse Abhijeet?" ACP asked.

"Han sir! Khabri tha mera yeh." Abhijeet replied.

"Wese tum inti raat ko karne kya ai thi yaha?" Abhijeet asked.

"Wo—mein – wo…..mein wo…." Tarika hesitated.

"Tarika jawb do." ACP ordered.

Tarika closed her eyes, took a deep breath and replied, "Girl issues, supplies lene gait hi general store se. Reciept hai mere pass. You wanna check?"

Abhijeet looked embarrassed, "No it's fine!"
