Chapter- 6 The Rescue. (Part-2)

TARIKA and PURVI arrive at the scene to see their brothers surrounded by the goons.

TARIKA looking at the scene and handed her gun to PURVI as she looked at her startled.

TARIKA: Just in case use it in your self defense. It will work only once. So use it wisely. Ok.'

PURVI looked at the gun in her hand and then at TARIKA who walked off to join the other two.

ABHIJEET instructed RAJAT: Get back to back.'

And the next second they stood back to back each other.

ABHIJEET looking at 6 men surrounded them occupied with weapons got worried. He doesn't know how well the student can protect himself or will he himself be able to handle the situation getting both of them safely out of the danger?'

ABHIJEET asked RAJAT: How many can you handle?'

RAJAT gave a tired reply: I can handle only two.'

ABHIJEET: How can I handle four alone?'

RAJAT: You are a CID officer. You can at least do that.'

This time ABHIJEET had an unbelievable expression on his face and said: Looking at the rudeness of your tone you surely took after your sister.'

RAJAT looking over his shoulder at ABHIJEET asked: How do you know my sister?'

ABHIJEET: I just met her this morning in the jungle.'

RAJAT dazed: She is here?'

ABHIJEET'S all doubts and worries vanish as soon as his eyes fell on TARIKA approaching towards them and a smile of relief appears on his face as he answered: Right in front of me.'

RAJAT's heart stopped suddenly as he turned to ABHIJEET's direction. His eyes fixated on TARIKA as he saw her walking like ever angry, bold and unfazed of anything that could ever stop her.

TARIKA's steps get slowed as her eyes fell on RAJAT behind ABHIJEET.

The two siblings looked at each other for a long moment until ABHIJEET broke it pushing RAJAT off from a goon's way.

TARIKA quickly recovered and get into action knocking the goon approaching towards ABHIJEET from behind.

Now the three stood back to back facing the goons.

PURVI little by little approached towards them as the three engages them-selves in to the fierce fight.

RAJAT tried to defense him-self as good as he could. ABHIJEET and TARIKA did their best what they can do to handle the goons who seemed stronger than they expected from any other gang members they have faced till now. No doubt all of them were Mr. Z's Men.

ABHIJEET while hitting one of the men mocked to TARIKA: Why aren't you using your gun? This is the right moment to do that?'

TARIKA seemed to take out that anger on the man she was hitting answered back: Unfortunately I have a condition to do that.'

ABHIJET: I doubt anything can stop you.'

TARIKA replied: they are 6 and there is only one bullet in my gun.'

ABHIJEET: How could you go after a kidnapper without having bullets in your gun?'

TARIKA: I thought I will directly confront the kidnapper and one bullet will be enough to take him down. But I have never thought I will end up in a situation like this, when I am on a temporary leave from CID service.'

ABHIJEET stopped fighting looking at her: You used your service gun on leave?'

TARIKA: I used it in my self defense.'

ABHIJEET could not be more surprised.

TARIKA shouted: Duck!'

ABHIJEET ducked down confused as TARIKA gave a spin kick to the person behind ABHIJEET. ABHIJEET smiled to him-self as he known it later.

RAJAT just caught the person who tried to attack TARIKA from behind.

TARIKA was fast enough to turn around in her defense but saw his brother already blocked it for her.

Once again their eyes met but before it gets uncomfortable RAJAT averted his eyes to the men.

RAJAT to the men: It's a bad habit and too cowardly to backstab someone.' only to get a hit from the men.

TARIKA was quick to rescue his brother knocking the men out cold to the ground as RAJAT gave her an appreciated smile.

Other side PURVI who stood secluded from the fight, out of nowhere a man appeared in front of her pointing a knife at her.

PURVI pointed the gun at him but it didn't work as the men kept approaching towards her seeing the fear in her eyes.

PURVI walked back in fear though she had the gun only to see the knife fell out of the persons hand as someone kicked his hand, punching him black and blue to the ground.

It was none other his brother ABHIJEET. PURVI dropped the gun and just hugged her brother for all the time she was alone, helpless and scared holding his brother tightly.

ABHIJEET caressed her hairs saying: I am sorry for being so late.'

PURVI looked up at his brother with a smile that ABHJEET haven't expected as she said: Who said that? Like always… You are on time. Till now I was having great fun here.'

ABHIJEET smiled: Really?'

PURVI happily nodded at which ABHIJEET felt relieved.

Outside of the jungle:-

On the way SACHIN stopped the SUV seeing ABHIJEET'S car parked at the road side with other three anonymous vehicles on the road.

The three CID officers DAYA, SHREYA and SACHIN entered the jungle. On their way they met the five of Mr. X's men tied and handcuffed.

SACHIN asked them: Who did this to you?'

One of the men answered: CID.'

DAYA: If it's CID, then surely there must be a good reason for you to be like this.'

The two injured men looking at each other wondered we get shot without any question or warning.

Then looking at the three CID officers both at a time said: You won't understand our situation.'

Now the CID team wondered looking at each other.

DAYA asked them: Which direction he went?'

Before the man could answer they heard two back to back gunshots within few seconds gap and looked at each other.

DAYA asked SHREYA: SHREYA you stay here and keep eye on them. SACHIN let's go!'

SACHIN and SHREYA nodded as DAYA and SACHIN ran towards the direction of the gunshot in the jungle.

Meanwhile in the jungle: -

PURVI suddenly pulled both of them aside as ABHIJEET turned around to see a man trying to attack them.

ABHIJEET hit back the man exchanging few blows with him. RAJAT was busy with one man while TARIKA struggled with the two.

The thing no one has noticedin the chaos that KISHOR who was knocked out by RAJAT come to senses.

He looked at his surrounding and seeing PURVI alone he took her at the gun point to control over the situation.

PURVI called out his brother: BHAI…'

ABHIJEET and RAJAT turned at the direction to see her at KISHOR'S hold with a gun pointed at her head.

ABHIJEET freeze to his place. This is second time his sister is in danger because of him.

Before KISHOR or anyone could say or react PURVI bit on his hand that made KISHOR pushing her harshly to the ground. Her head hit a stone hard. She tried to look up but her vision blurred and she fainted.

ABHIJEET rushed to her side while TARIKA who was preoccupied fighting with a goon turned around only to be hugged by her brother. She remained stunned at his sudden act but it took a moment for her to realize that he just took a bullet for her.

A moment before KISHOR pushing PURVI off to the ground pointed his gun at TARIKA unaware of her who was busy with fighting a man, RAJAT was quick in his action to run to his sister and took the bullet for her.

ABHIJEET'S eyes widened at the scene and he grab the gun lying on ground that PURVI dropped a moment back and shot KISHOR dead right in the middle of the head.'

Time stopped for TARIKA as reality hit her. She whispered RAJAT's name as he fell limped against her. She went on her knees to ground holding his brother.

ABHIJEET who was checking on his unconscious sister looked at TARIKA patting RAJAT's cheek calling his name repeatedly to bring him to senses. She took out her jacket and pressed it against his injury to stop bleeding.

TARIKA looked at ABHIJEET who was already looking at her.

TARIKA in an alerted tone said: We need help.'

DAYA and SACHIN arrive at the scene on time as they handled the situation and rushed the two to the hospital.

Hospital -

ABHIJEET and TARIKA waited out at the hospital corridor as RAJAT and PURVI were taken to the ER.

Moments later PURVI'S Dr. informed ABHIJEET that his sister is fine. She had a minor concussion because of the exhaustion and need two days rest to recover her ankle and he can meet her after she gets conscious.

ABHIJEET felt relax and looked across the corridor at TARIKA who was waiting out of the O.T. She didn't move a bit from there. Her cloths and hands were still covered with blood. She didn't look sad, stressed or scared. She was simply sitting there with a stoic face.

ABHIJEET couldn't refrain himself but think about her.

Half an hour later-

ABHIJEET was sitting beside PURVI who just woke up.

ABHIJEET: You know how much scared I was?'

PURVI smiled: It's ok. I am fine.' ABHIJEET felt relaxed seeing her smile.

ABHIJEET: I am sorry. You have to suffer all this because of me. This is second time you were in danger just because of me.'

PURVI: I am glad that you are my brother and I am proud of you. So, don't be sorry.'

PURVI in an authoritative tone said: Just catch the criminals and punish them well. Ok?'

ABHIJEET smiled: Ok. I got that and will do the same. That's my job after all.'

Both the siblings shared a good laugh and spent a nice time where PURVI told him everything about her jungle adventure, how she got kidnapped from camp and ended up with the wrong kidnapper and how RAJAT saved her from them and the two ran into the jungle and also gave her statement.

PURVI then asked ABHIJEET about RAJAT and his sister. ABHIJEET told her everything about what happened at the jungle after she fell unconscious.

PURVI a bit shocked: Will he be fine?'

ABHIJEET: I hope he will.'

PURVI: What about his sister? Is she ok?'

ABHIJEET had the flashes of TARIKA sitting at the corridor and sighed: I don't know?'

PURVI: Weird.'

ABHIJEET thoughtfully said: yeah, she is kind of weird.'

PURVI amazed at his thoughtful brother: I was talking about her brother. He is kind of weird.'

ABHIJEET looked at his sister: oh.'

ABHIJEET changed the topic: Well, you should rest now. Dr. said you will be discharged tomorrow. I have to make a call to DAYA. So, don't think about anything and just rest. Ok.'

PURVI nodded.
