Ok guys I finally decided to update this story after a long time and I did as a late birthday present for Dayaforu. Hope you like it although it isn't much and not what you requested so sorry about that.
Chapter 6:
Tarika`s eyes filled up with tears and she wiped them away. Suddenly Abhijeet appeared behind her and saw a bit of the message but what he read was...
maybe even you might be kidnapped so we can use you to get him.
Abhi: Tarika!
Tarika turned around quickly and looked at him shocked.#
Tarika stared at him and he looked angry.
Abhi (Mad): Tarika what was that?!
Tarika: What was what?
Abhi: C'mon Tarika don't play dumb.
Tarika: What do you mean?
Abhi: Tarika I saw the message...
Tarika just stared at him.
Abhi: Tarika give me the phone.
Tarika: What phone?
Abhi (angrily): The phone you just had.
Tarika's eyes filled up with tears again.
Abhi (his tone softening): Tarika please what are you hiding?
She looked at him and then did the most unexpected thing Abhijeet could ever think of. She went really closed to him and kissed him smack on the lips in front of everyone. He was shocked and moved back but then kissed her back with the same love and emotion and then she moved back. He looked at her still sort of shocked.
Tarika hugged Abhijeet.
Tarika (still in his hug): I'm sorry Abhijeet.
Abhi (confused): For what?
She pulled back and kissed him again.
She moved away.
Tarika: Should we go now?
Abhi (dreamy voice): What was that for?
Tarika: What was what for?
Abhi (smiling): That amazing kiss?
Tarika blushed and smiled.
Tarika (whispering to herself): A distraction and it looked liked it worked.
Abhi: Hmm?
Tarika: Nothing!
Abhijeet then remembered the message.
Abhi: Wait...
Tarika turned around again.
Abhi: What was that message?
Tarika: Oh nothing...
Abhi: Tarikaa...
Tarika: umm it was message from a long time ago when me and my ex boyfriend worked in Delhi CID.
Abhi: and you still have that message?
Tarika: Yea you just in case something happened and we needed saboot...
Abhi (not paying much attention cause he was still dazed about the kiss.): Oh... wait BOYFRIEND?!
Tarika (smiling): Yea... Jealous?
Abhi: Jealous? Who me? Yea right...
Tarika (smirking): Suree!
She turned around and walked away.
Abhijeet smiled and followed her back to the car.
Tarika (turning back to him): Soo? What do we do now?
Abhi: I guess we can still use this car and I`ll call ACP sir to come with Freddy and Rajat to see if they can find the bullet and look for more evidence.
Tarika nodded.
Abhijeet called ACP sir and he picked up on the third ring.
ACP: Hello?
Abhi: Hello sir it`s me.
ACP: haan Abhijeet bolo.
Abhi: Sir someone tried to shoot us right now.
ACP: What? Are you guys ok?
Hearing this Rajat and Freddy gathered around him.
He looked at them and turned the speaker on.
Abhi: Yes sir we're fine. But sir what do we do now?
ACP: Did you find the bullet or the shell?
Abhi: No sir.
ACP: ok wait you guys continue and go to the nursery and we'll come there and look for the bullet and shell and any other clues we can find. I'm sure now that someone wants to stop us from finishing this case.
Abhi: Ok sir.
ACP: ok bye.
Abhi: Bye.
He hung up and turned to Tarika.
Abhi: Let`s go baby.
Tarika nodded and both got into the car and left.
On the way Abhijeet kept stealing glances at Tarika and she looked upset.
He felt so helpless seeing her like this and not being able to do anything.
They go to all the Nurseries on the list and then went to the last one where they were all suppose to meet up. When they got there they saw everyone standing outside already.
Daya: Guys what took so long?
Abhijeet then told him the whole the story and when he finished Daya freaked out.
Daya: My god! Are you guys alright you didn't get hurt right?
He looked at them concerned.
Tarika: Yea Daya were fine.
Musi: But who would do such a thing?
Abhi: We don't know but ACP sir thinks that someone's doing to stop us from solving this case.
Tarika: I double that.
Abhi: OK anyways did you guys go check this nursery out?
Tasha: Yea we checked it already and they have all the plants and they are all healthy looking.
Abhi: OK did all the nurseries have their plants and were they all healthy looking?
Musi: Yea they almost all had their plants except 3 nurseries and they've sold some of their plants to people around here.
Tarika: Ok how many people?
Musi: Same just three.
Tarika: Oh ok so that shouldn't take us much time.
Daya: Yea let's go
Abhi: Ok chalo.
This time they all went together in two cars and returned the other two back to the rental department. They then met up at the first house.
Everyone got out and went towards the door and knocked. A couple seconds later a small head peeped out of the door. Daya looked around surprised at how the door opened by itself until Muskaan sighed and pushed his head down, by standing on her tippy toes, that he saw the little girl standing in the door way.
Daya: Oh hi there.
He kneeled down so he was eye leveled with her and looked at her.
Daya: Hey cutie his your Mom or Dad at home?
She nodded and then ran inside yelling for her mom.
Girl: MOmmmyyy... Daaaddyyyy someone is at the door.
Mom: Sweetie I told you not to open the door.
The girl shrugged.
The mom opened the door wider and she and her husband were standing at the door and the little girl was standing behind her mom's leg.
Dad: Yes can I help you?
Daya: Hi we're from CID and investigating a mur...
He stopped mid way and looked at the little girl.
Daya (bending over): Hey sweetie would you like some chocolates?
The little girl nodded.
Daya: Ok then go with Tarika and Muskaan autie and they will buy you some...
The little girl looked up at her mom and she nodded.
Mom: Jao beta.
The little girl grabbed Tarika's outstretched hand and the three girls walked out the door.
Tarika: what's your name Hon?
Girl: Alyssa
Musi: aww what a cute name you have.
Alyssa: Thank you.
Daya waited until they had left and then continued.
Daya: We are investigating a murder which happened here recently.
Dad: And how does that relate to us?
Abhi: Well we found out that the poison used to kill him was made by a plant you have in your home.
Dad: Oh what plant?
Sachin (stepping forwards holding a pic of the plant.): The plant is called Strychnos nux vomica I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.
Mom: Oh yes we have a plant but why did you come to us?
Tasha: Can we see that plant?
Dad: Yea sure.
They led them over to the plant and Tasha inspected it very carefully.
Tasha going over to Abhi and Daya: Sir the plant looks well and healthy.
Daya (to Kajal): They only had one plant right?
Kajal: Yes sir.
Daya (turning back): OK thank you for your time.
Dad: Yup no problem.
Just then Muskaan, Tarika and Alyssa walk back in laughing and eating chocolate.
Seeing the team about to leave they walk over to them.
Tarika: Hogya?
Abhi: Hmm chalo.
Tarika nodded: Bye Alyssa.
Musi: Bye sweetie.
Alyssa: Bye and Thank you!
Musi and Taaru: You're welcome.
They all walk out and Muskaan continued eating her chocolate.
Daya and Muskaan were walking behind everyone else.
Daya: Musi mujhe b dedo thorra sa.
Muskaan nodded no and started to run but Daya caught her from behind and kissed her cheek quickly.
Daya: Please?
Muskaan blushed and held up her chocolate behind her and Daya took a bite and they continued walking.
They went to the next house when all of a sudden they heard what seemed to sound like a gun shot...
