Don stood forming fists with his hands. His lips were moving as if he wanted to say something really mean, but he held off from speaking. He pressed his lips together, then turned away disgusted.

"Don, I think you should get ready. Paavan is coming soon. We have to think about your appearance." Ayesha tried to break the silence.

"No! I have to think about it, not we!"

With that he walked out of the living room. Roma had a feeling of abandonment. As if he didn't care about her decisions anymore. No rage, no nothing. Roma looked at Sameer, but he only shrugged.

"Will you put a camera on him, Sameer?" she couldn't walk in his room and do it herself, not right now. She had a feeling she was not welcomed there. Didn't she make a decision for Don again? Although it affected only Roma. There was always that feeling that the final decision was made by Don. This time she took the authority away from him.

"I will."

"Good." and I'll go and try to find Sebastian. Though she couldn't say it out loud, Sameer and Ayesha knew where she was going.

But as much as she tried she couldn't find Sebastian. Not in a restaurant, not in a lobby, and not even in his apartment. After an hour of search around hotel she went on to ask the reception girl. The girl told that he left hotel this morning and haven't come back yet.

Just as Roma was about to go back to her apartment, she heard the noise outside of hotel which was slowly getting inside. She turned to see flashes of light and crowd of people moving around someone. That someone made his way through the entrance doors and strolled through the lobby.

It was Paavan.

The paparazzi where holding polite distance, just enough so he could set his foot in front of him.

He came to the reception.

"I want the Wow Suite, please."

"We are pleased to have you here Mr. Singh. Maybe you want the Extreme Wow suite?"

"No, I want simply the Wow Suite." seemed he was familiar with these apartments.

The guards were showing paparazzi a way out of hotel. Roma noticed Don standing near the elevators giving signs to Paavan, so he could follow him. And so he did.

Roma called Sameer immediately through their own radio communication.

"Don just met Paavan. Did you put a camera on him like I said?"

"I did."

"Then switch it on so I could hear them."

Moments passed before she could hear Don's voice.

"Sir, I've checked everything you ordered me." those were the only moments she could hear his simple, light voice. Vijay's voice.

"Good job."

"But there is one thing I need to inform you about."
"Yes, Vijay?"

"I'm not going to be around you."
"What do you mean?"

Yeah. And most importantly how do you imagine that, Don?! she thought.

"I can only provide full safety only when I'm at the distance, observing everything that is happening around you. You'll have body shields..I mean, guards, just like you always do. I can't be one, because then I won't be able to do my job good enough."

"But.."

"No!" his sudden strict tone send shivers through Roma. Then his voice lightened up again."You made me a head of your security team for a reason. I know what I'm doing, sir!"

"Where will you be then?"

"I'll be around. Out of spotlight. Even when you don't see me, I'm still around, watching you."

Roma held fingers cross so Paavan would buy it.

"Ok then." she heard the note of hesitation."I guess, you know what way is better."

"Sir, you don't have to worry about anything. I will always be available if you need me."

Was that not amazing?! Don always got what he wanted, the most easiest and quick way. How was that even possible?! Roma sighed. She was happy about what he just did, but it also made her irritated.

"I have a press conference in an hour or so. On the first floor. Be there."

"I will, sir!"

An hour later Roma was sitting in the last row at the conference room. Dressed in a t-shirt and a cap slightly covering her eyes, so that Paavan won't recognize her. He was standing behind the speakers desk. There were millions of reporters stalking him with question, once that he answered just like any other politician, avoiding controversy and not saying anything new. Don stood in the shadows leaning with his shoulder against the wall, barely noticeable.

"Sameer, check the cameras in this room." she heard Don's voice.

"Checking."

Roma heard Sameer cursing.

"What happened, Sameer?"

"It's ok. Just some malfunction. My screen went completely blank for a few seconds."

"Are you sure it's just a malfunction?" Don asked suspiciously.

"Yeah, what else can it be..."

Don looked at Roma. Somehow she understood him without words. She had to go and check on Sameer.

"Is the screen back on again?" she asked.

"Yes. I told you it's just a malfunction."

"I'm still going up to you."

"What? No, it's not necessary."

It didn't matter. When it came to caution everything was necessary, especially when there was a bomb in the room.

She was still in the elevator making her way to the top floor, when she heard Sameer again.

"Roma, is it you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Opening up the door."

"No. I'm still in the elevator."

"Then it's probably Ayesha.."

Silence for a moment. Then she heard Sameer shout, someone falling, fighting, growls. Silence again.

"Sameer!" she shouted."Sameer!" she mentally wanted to make the elevator go faster. Only it couldn't overrun its own speed.

She heard some moans.

"Sameer!"

"Roma!" Sameer could barely speak."It's Tarvo!"

"What? How?!"

The elevator finally reached the top. She run out, only to see Tarvo getting into other elevator. The doors closed before her face. "Damnit!" she hit the doors hard with her fist.

She run in the same elevator she drove a moment ago, pushing the first floor button.

This time Tarvo was the one who was running away from her. Wasn't he supposed to kill her? If not what was he doing here? And most importantly how did he got inside the hotel?!

"Sameer, is the bomb ok?"

"I don't know Roma. I can barely get up! He knocked me hard on the floor. I couldn't see for some minutes. I got my senses back just before he walked out."

"So he didn't say what he wanted?"

"No. I called Don. He will be waiting for him in the lobby."

"What?!" that was so wrong! "You shouldn't have done it, Sameer!"

Roma remembered Don's words, his eyes filled with fire at the thought of killing Tarvo.

"Why not?!"

"He will kill him!"

"Isn't that a good thing, because it's Tarvo we are talking about?"

"No! I need Tarvo alive! He knows too much valuable information that we can use against Govran!"

The elevator opened up. She run out of the hotel to see Don running after Tarvo, jumping over cars for short cuts. Tarvo magically disappeared in a black jeep. Leaving Don behind. Partly Roma felt releaved, partly confused. What the hell Tarvo was doing here?

Roma saw as Don broke the window of some expensive white car, opened the door and got in. He then drove off the parking lot. Was he using Sameer's micro chip? She had one in the pocket herself. But breaking windows was so not right?!

She looked around in search of something bad looking, but usable enough. Her eyes fell on a small green car. She took a deep breath and thrust her elbow into the glass. It broke immediately, scratching her arm. The alarm went off.

Roma got in, put the micro chip. The engine started to work. She drove off after Don.

"Sameer, can you connect me to Don's radio transmitter."

"Yes. Here you go!"

"Don," she tried to sound as calm as possible."Stop the car! There's no need to go after him!"

"I'm not stopping, Roma. Don't waste your precious time. You have a mission to complete. And I have a man to kill."

"I need him alive, Don!"

"And I need him dead. As simple as that."

He was just impossible!

"Sameer stop him, please!"

"How?"

"I don't know! Use traffic!"
"Sameer, you're dead too if you try to stop me, and you know it. So please, don't waste your time. Go drink some coffee, flirt with models," his sweet talk turned into a roar."Just stay out of this!"

"Sameer, do it for me. I know you can stop him! Remember when you promised it'll never happen again. Now hold your promise, listen to me!"

"Remember when you promised me, Sameer," Don mimicked her voice, but then his tone got furious again." Don't you dare listen to her! It'll be the last thing you'll do in your life."

"No! Listen to me! Please, Sameer!" she knew they were both putting too much pressure on him. But Don was out of control, who knew what he'll do besides killing Tarvo, who knew what kind of trouble he'll get himself into. Right now everything depended on Sameer, which side he'll take. Bitterly Roma knew, he'll take Don's side.

She saw the railroad tracks ahead. The board was slowly going down, forbidding Don to cross it. He slowed the car a little bit.

"Sameer!" he roared.

"I'm sorry Don." he said in a quiet, choked voice.

"Raise the board now!"

"I'm not going to do that. I'm sorry."

Don stormed through, breaking the board, without stopping."I'm not."

"Damnit!" Roma hit her stair-wheel. She continued driving. Just when she was crossing tracks engine started to rattle. The car stopped motionless.

Roma tried to start it up again, but without keys, there was not much she could do. She tried to open up her seat belt to get out. But it got stuck. Great! Now we only need train for more drama, she thought as she turned her head to the right. No train. To the left. No….Wait!

Is that a light?! Roma's heart sank to the bottom of the seat. It was definitely a light. It was a train.

Roma tried to remove the seat belt. It wasn't getting out. She tried to push the button on the micro chip. It wasn't working ether.

"Sameer! I'm stuck!"

"What do you mean, you're stuck?"

"My seat belt is stuck, my car stopped dead on the railway tracks and there's a train from my left side, in fact moving too fast." she looked at the train who's sight was growing bigger with seconds.

To her surprise she saw Don's car driving back.

"Roma, get out of there!" she heard his voice."What the hell are you still doing in that car?"

"I thought you were chasing Tarvo!"

"And I thought you were chasing me!"

True.

"But I'm stuck! Seat belt is not working!" her pulse was raising up. It was easier to get a heart attack while watching the train approaching so fast, then die from actual accident.

"You have a knife?"

"No!"

"Me nether. A gun?"

"No! Don, the train is too close!"

It was extremely close!

Roma stopped breathing. Closed her eyes. She felt her heart pounding in her ears.

Her breath got back again as she heard the grit of tires, but she couldn't force herself to open the eyes.

Roma opened them only when she felt her body jerking forward from the hit, her head smashing against the opening airbag, making her body jerk back again. She felt the car got moved backwards from the trails. Just as her head hit the back side of the seat. She saw Don's car wrecking in pieces as the train smashed into it, taking what was left of the car along, without stopping.

Roma got back her senses. The airbag slowly deflated. Somehow seat belt mechanism got broken along the way, so she just pushed it out. She got out of the car, while train was still passing by. It was one of those long freight trains. Roma was looking at the leftovers of the car. Mangled door.

"Don..." she whispered while her mind was trying to comprehend what just happened."Don!" she shouted louder."Don!" she screamed, painfully straining her voice.

It couldn't be true that Don pushed her away from the trails, and got himself wrecked instead. NO! It just couldn't be true!

He couldn't' do this to her!
"Don, what the hell?!" she shouted out, feeling as the tears were streaming down without her trying to control them.

Her knees were shaking, while looking at the left overs. The sobbing turned into a hysteric cry.

The train passed by. Through her watered eyes, she saw a silhouette standing in front of her over the railways. She kept on looking and sobbing, thinking that she's seeing a ghost, his spirit or whatever there's possible after death. But the silhouette wasn't fading. Roma tried to wipe away tears which was hard as they were still streaming down. But when she finally did, she saw Don.

He was standing there, alive, with his hands in the pockets.

Tears vanished. She felt she was staring at him shocked. He was alive! She kept telling that to herself not quite believing her eyes. And most importantly he looked shocked too. Wonder struck to be precisely. Why?

But then it got to her...he saw her crying. Teardrops that were still left were dripping down. Roma quickly turned around with her back to him.

God! She was crying right before his eyes! That was so, so...so wrong! What is he thinking now?!She remembered his words when he wondered whether she cried when he passed out :" ...or I might think you're in love with me!". But no, no, NO! She was not in love with him! That thought pushed one more teardrop out.

She saw a car driving. Ayesha was at the wheel. She drove pass Roma, over the railways, stopped. Roma heard door opening then closing, then the car started up again. Roma turned around to see that Don was gone, so was the car.

"Roma!" Sameer shouted loudly in her ear.

"Yes?" she asked .

"You're alive!The transmitter connection was gone for a moment. Are you ok?"

Hell she wasn't!

"Yes, I'm fine."

"Good, Because I hope your standing steady on your feet!"

"What's wrong?"

"I checked the case..." Sameer hesitated to continue...

"And?"

"Tarvo has the bomb sample!"
