Chapter 1: Kidnapped.

Vast Jungle: Camp site-

In the middle of the jungle, young cheerful college students around a big bonfire were happily singing and dancing with their friends enjoying their camp night far from the city.

It was chaos till the evening as two group of college of two different town one from Mumbai and other from Bangalore arrives in the same jungle and moreover to the same spot for the camping.

The two college groups first fought claiming the camp site but at the end happily decided to camp together adding more fun to their adventure and getting to know each other. Now by the night no one knows who belongs to which group as the students gets well with each other in friendly way.

Unaware of the excited and cheerful students, a pair of eyes behind the bushes was keeping a close eye to their each movement.

A boy comes out of the tent asking his friend: Have you seen him anywhere?'

His friend answered him back: you know him; he came to explore the jungle not to camp with us. Must be roaming somewhere in the jungle. Let him. Come join us.'

His friend nodded and joins the group.

Another side the girls of two colleges were gossiping about latest fashion trends with one another. One of the girls looking around the camp asked her friend: Where is she?'

Her friend answered: In her tent.'

The first girl said: I don't understand, why she even came here if she has to do all is to read book in her tent. She could have done it at home too.'

Her friend: let her no. At least we should enjoy.' And the two join the group.

In a tent a girl was reading a book. She heard some noises around the tent. She didn't mind it first but then felt weird as the noise was coming from backside of her tent and felt suspicious.

She come out of the tent and went to check for the source of the noise. She looked here and there in the dark and suddenly felt something pressed against her nose and soon she fainted.

Late Night: CID –

Two phones ring in two different offices of CID, one in Bangalore and other in Mumbai.

Mumbai:-

Officer ABHIJEET: Officer ABHIJEET speaking from CID Mumbai.'

Mr. X: your sister has been kidnapped and if you want to see her safe then do as I say.'

ABHIJEET: What nonsense?'

Mr. X: Your sister went to a college trip in midst of a jungle. Isn't it?'

ABHIJEET thought how the person knew that.

Mr. X: If you don't believe me then wait for the morning to get the call from the college authority itself that your sister has went missing in the jungle.'

ABHIJEET anxiously asked: Who are you and where is my sister?'

Mr. X: That's not important. What is important is what you could do to save your sister?'

ABHIJEET: What do you want?'

Mr. X: You have to do something for me.'

ABHIJEET: Why should I do something for you?'

Mr. X: You don't love your sister? I should remind you it won't take a minute to me to kill your sister and for you to lose something as precious as your sister.'

ABHIJEET: Don't do anything to my sister. I will do whatever you want me to do but before that I want to see my sister is with you and is safe.'

Mr. X: You CID officer are very clever. Always finds a way to bargain.'

ABHIJEET: That's not important right now. Where is my sister?'

Mr. X: You are not in a place to be rude to me Mr. ABHIJEET. Meet me at the MALWADI Road old mill in the morning and don't do anything stupid like involving CID in this otherwise your sister will be in danger.'

Before ABHIJEET could say or ask the phone gets cut: hello… Hello.

ABHIJEET sighs in frustration and runs out of the office to the parking.

CID Bangalore-

Officer TARIKA: officer TARIKA speaking from CID Bangalore.'

Mr. Z: Your brother has been kidnapped. If you want to see him safe then do as I say.'

TARIKA: What nonsense? I don't have any brother.'

She was about to cut the call when the person spoke up: Don't do the mistake to cut the call otherwise your dear brother RAJAT's life will be in danger.'

She skipped a heart beat listening RAJAT's name. It's the name she hasn't remembered from last five years but didn't forget either.

Mr. Z: I know you have a secret brother that nobody knows about.'

TARIKA: He is not that close to me so that you can blackmail me.'

Mr. Z: The rumors aren't lie that you are a heartless cop.'

TARIKA: So you better know kidnapping him won't help you trick me.'

Mr. Z: If not as a sister then as a CID officer you won't let an innocent die. Otherwise your late CID father will be disappointed in you.'

TARIKA: How do you know about my father?'

Mr. Z: I know everything about your father.'

TARIKA: Who are you?'

Mr. Z smiled: You will be interested in me once you know about me but for that you have to meet me.'

TARIKA: Why did you kidnap RAJAT? What do you want from me?'

Mr. Z: I want to kill you just like I killed your father and your family.'

TARIKA's breath stuck to her heart, her hand fell on the table knocking few of the things off the floor as she stumbled back in shock.

TARIKA gathering her voice and courage managed to ask: What did you said? You killed…'

She couldn't complete it when Mr. Z spoke: I shouldn't have told you this at our first conversation. It might be shocking for you but what should I do? Now the game will be fair enough to play when we both know about each other. Isn't it?'

Mr. Z continued: If you don't want to see your brother dead as well, reach to discarded Green Warehouse by morning. And I don't need to say what will happen with your brother if you try to involve CID in this. Meet you soon.'

He cuts the call and TARIKA drops to the chair, the phone still to her ear. She felt hard to breathe thinking about her family.

After a moment she took a deep breath, took her car keys and ran out of the empty CID office.

MALWADI ROAD OLD MILL-

Mr. X cutting the call turns around at his henchmen and they all looked down at the kidnapped person from top to toe wrapped in a black sheet on floor.

Mr. X ordered his men to uncover the girl and tie her properly. As soon as the henchman uncovered the girl he was aback while the others standing around was shocked to see an unconscious boy instead of a girl in that black sheet.

Mr. X in shock: Who is this?'

He turned to his henchman furiously: I told you to kidnap CID officer ABHIJEET's sister. Whom do you bring here?'

Even the henchman was shock himself: Boss I kidnapped the girl but I don't know how did the boy come here?'

Mr. X held him by collar angrily: Do you want to die here? Do you want to say a girl turned into a boy? Do I look like that fool to you? Tell me what happened otherwise it will be your last day on earth?'

The scared man said: Boss, I really didn't do anything.'

He pleaded and suddenly something come to his mind and said: Boss, I think they got exchanged.'

Mr. X confused: Exchanged? What got exchanged?'

The man told him the flashback.

Meanwhile in GREEN WAREHOUSE-

As soon as Mr. Z cut the call, one of his man come running to him: Boss, there is problem!'

Mr. Z turned around at the man as the man gulped down in fear. The man lowering his head pointed him out of the room.

Mr. Z looking at the man went out of the room to see a girl tied to a chair trying to free her-self with a tape on her mouth.

Mr. Z in shock asked: Who is she? Where is the guy?'

Enraged Mr. Z held the collar of the guy who kidnapped the girl shouting: I told you to bring CID officer TARIKA'S brother not a girl. Whom did you bring here?'

The man pleaded to Mr. Z: Boss, please forgive me. I kidnapped the right guy but I think something went wrong.'

Mr. Z: Do you even know that guy is the only weakness of that fearless officer. A mistake means just death in my book. Should I let you live?'

The man pleaded: Boss, please don't kill me. I know where can be that guy.'

Mr. Z: where he is?'

Flashback: In the jungle -

A boy was walking in the jungle swaying a stick in his hand not far from the camp site. He felt something behind him but doesn't saw anything in the dark. He just shrugged it off and again walked in his rhythm.

But he suddenly stopped seeing a shadow of the figure behind him raising a log to hit him. He quickly turned around but it was too late as the log hit his head and he fell down. The music at the camp site was loud enough to cover his scream as nobody heard his scream.

The hitter looked the unconscious boy and quickly wrapped him in a black sheet before anyone comes there. He was walking out of the jungle sneakily careful about the surrounding having college students with the unconscious boy on his shoulder wrapped in black sheet.

Other side Mr. X's man was sneakily walking out of the jungle with the girl he kidnapped at the camp.

Both kidnappers walking back to back each other bump. They left the carriage on their shoulder and turns around in horror to each other. Both looked suspicious and sneaky to each other and what was more intriguing, they had the same backpack as they saw two bodies on ground lying side by side wrapped in black sheets.

X's man asked the suspicious stranger: Did you kidnap someone?'

The strange man out of suspicion asked back: You too?' as they again looked at the two bodies. They stared each other for second and end up laughing.

X's man: then we belong to the same group.'

The other man agreed: yes.'

X's man introduced himself: I am Rajesh from Mumbai.'

Other man introduced himself: I am KISHOR from Bangalore.'

Rajesh: Nice to meet you. By the way, for whom do you work?'

KISHOR: I work for Mr. Z. and you?'

Rajesh: I work for Mr. X.'

KISHOR: Then we shall leave before any other student found us.'

Rajesh: yes. Hope to meet again.'

KISHOR: sure.'

And they parted with their backpacks.

Present: MALWADI ROAD MILL

Rajesh: Boss, I think at that time the girl switched with the guy.'

Mr. X: How could you do such a mistake? That CID officer will be here in an hour or two. If he gets to know his sister is not here then we won't be able to find even hell's door to escape. Do you get that in how much trouble we will be in if we don't find that ABHIJEET's sister?'

He raised his fist in anger at Rajesh but didn't hit him.

Mr. X: Just because of your mistake we all will be doomed.'

Rajesh: it won't happen, boss.'

His boss again raised his fist at him to scare him: Do you really want to die?'

Rajesh: boss, I have exchanged number with that guy. We can call him and get back that girl.'

Mr. X again raised his fist at him but this time to pat his shoulder: That's why I didn't kill you till now. Call him immediately.'

RAJESH: yes boss.'

Before he can dial the number, his cell phone rings. It was from KISHOR itself. They clears the misunderstanding and agrees to meet each other at mid point to exchange the misplace persons.

KISHOR informed him about the place where the exchange will be take place.

After the call Mr. X orders his men to tie the guy properly before taking him to exchange and empty the place by the morning before ABHIJEET reaches there.

The switched guy RAJAT was conscious enough to hear their conversation. As soon as one of the guys went to tie him, he pushed the guy and run to escape. The other men including RAJESH chased him down after a hard time and finally tied his hand to his back and even put a blindfold on him.
