A/N: Firstly I'm very sorry friends, I know I'm very late…but I'm not well due to which I can't sit for long and type…hope you'll understand…and secondly, thanks a lot for so many reviews…

I have already taken so long to post it, so now I'll not waste your time…so here is the next update…

WARNING: be ready for shocks and surprises;)

HAVE A HAPPY READING….

ACP: Ye jo koi bhi hai bahut chalaak hai…humesha humse ek kadam aage hi rehta hai….aur ye koi aisa insaan hi kar sakta hai jo acche se humaari working style ko jaanta ho…ya asaani se ye predict kar sakta ho ki humara agla kadam kya hoga…

Everyone understood what ACP sir meant to say but none of them had the courage to say anything or take that name in this regard,…they silently bowed their heads down…

Everyone starts thinking hard to get some leads in the case…but he was always a step ahead of them…Suddenly something striked ACP and he asked Sachin

ACP: Sachin…tumne pata kiya tha ki jis computer se humare devices ko hack kiya ja raha tha unhe kaun use kar raha tha…hume pata chal sakta hai unn cafes ke records se aur phir shayad unke addresses bhi mil jaye…

Sachin: Sir maine check kiya tha unn saare cafes ke records par uss aadmi ne har jaga alag alag naam aur addresses diye hai aur phone numbers bhi different diye hai…

ACP(cutting him in irritation): Aur wo saari details galat hi hongi…haina…

Sachin(in low voice): Ji sir…

ACP(shouts angrily): Pata tha….pata tha mujhe…..itne saal CID me kaam karne ka fayeda utha raha hai wo….par shayad wo bhool gaya hai ki mujrim chahe jitna bhi shaatir kyu na ho par koi na koi galti to karta hi hai…koi na koi galti to ye bhi karega….(then he remembers something about his talk with Abhi and he asks)..Accha Freddy…ek baat batao…jab tum Abhijeet ke ghar gaye the, to kya uske ghar ki koi khidki khuli hui thi…

Freddy(tries to remember): Haa sir…upar ke kamre ki ek khirki khuli hui thi…kyo sir…

ACP: nai nai…kuch nahi…bas aise hi…(and thinks)isne bhi puri planning ke sath kahaani banayi hai..

Just then, Pankaj enter the bureau almost running..he was looking very happy…seeing him, everybody else looked at him with curious eyes…

ACP: Kya hua Pankaj…bahut khush lag rahe ho…

Pankaj: Ha sir..mai bahut khush hu…

ACP: Par tum yaha kya kar rahe ho…tumhe Abhijeet ke sath rehne ko kaha tha na…

Pankaj: Ha sir, mai unhi ke liye to khush hu….actually…

But a voice interrupts him as..

Voice: SENIOR INSPECTOR ABHIJEET REPORTING ON DUTY SIR…

All faces turn to the direction from where the voice came…and all those faces glowed with happiness seeing their dear officer there….Freddy was the first to approach him..

Freddy(with teary eyes): Sir…aap…aap kaise ho sir…

Abhi(smiling): Mujhe kya hua hai..mai to theek hu…

ACP(sarcastically): Ha…inhe bhala kabhi kuch ho sakta hai….(Abhi looked at him..pain and worry could clearly be seen in his eyes…but he was trying to hide all his emotions…nobody but Abhijeet understood well what actually ACP was going through at that time…he went to him and stood silently before him…ACP was relieved after finding Abhijeet fine…and now he tried to show his anger to him… )

ACP(looking sternly at Abhi): Kahaani acchi banayi thi…

Abhi(still trying to defend): Sir…wo maine…

ACP(cutting him): Abhijeet…(Abhi looked at him with a bit scared eyes as if a kid was caught red handed by his father while hiding something…ACP continued..)..Abhijeet, hume sach pata chal chukka hai…(Abhi looked down..)..Kyu jhooth bola tumne mujhse…ha…(he still looked down and ACP was looking at him sternly..) isiliye na taaki Daya ko bachke bhaagne ka time mil jaye…kyo…yahi baat hai na…

Abhi: Sir…aap samajh nahi rahe hai…Daya aisa kabhi bhi jaan boojh kar nahi karega…koi wajah zaroor hogi…

ACP: Abhijeet..gunah karne ki chahe jo bhi wajah ho, wo gunah hi hota hai…

Abhi: Par sir…(he was stopped as ACP raised his hand to stop him..)

ACP: Uss din jab tumne mujhe apni wo kahani sunayi thin a tabhi mujhe samajh aa gaya tha kit um jhooth bol rahe ho…kyunki aisa ho hi nahi sakta ki koi tumpar humla kare aur tum use aaram se jaane do…khooni tumhare saamne tha dono baar par phir bhi tumne uska chehra nahi dekha…goli lagte hi koi behosh nahi ho jata..itna time to hota hi hai ki uski shakal dekh lo…

Abhi: Sir I'm sure Daya ki koi majboori hogi…warna wo aisa karne ki kabhi soch bhi nahi sakta…

ACP(sarcastic): Soch nahi sakta magar kar sakta hai..hai na…

Abhi was about to say something when Rajat gets a call and after attending the call, he tells to everyone…

Rajat: Sir Daya sir ka mobile phir se switch on kiya gaya hai…aur usme se kisi ko call bhi kiya gaya hai…

ACP: Kya…kisi ko call bhi kiya hai….abhi bhi on hai?

Rajat: Ha sir…abhi bhi on hai…par sir…phone me sim card change kar diya gaya hai…aur call bhi usi naye number se hi kiya gaye hai…

Pankaj(confused): Sir, agar Daya sir ke mobile ka sim change kar diya gaya hai to use trace kaise karenge…

Abhi: Pankaj, kisi bhi mobile ko trace karne ke liye uske mobile number ki zaroorat nahi hoti hai…mobile ko uske IMEI number se trace kiya ja sakta hai…yaani International Mobile Equipment Identity number…jaise hi mobile ko switch on kiya jata hai, hum use trace kar sakte hai.. (then he turned to Rajat)..Accha Rajat, Daya ke mobile se call kiya kisko gaya tha?

Rajat: Sir koi Kailash naam ka aadmi hai…

Abhi: Kailash….naam suna suna lag raha hai….are ha yaad aya…Rajat ye Anshuman ka address kisi XYZ stores ka diya gaya hai..?

Rajat: Ha sir…

ACP: Abhijeet tum jaante ho iss Kailash ko..?

Abhi: Ha sir…ye Kailash actually wahi Kaliya hai jo do saal pehle jail se riha kiya gaya tha…isne pakre jane ke baad apne gang ke baaki logo ko pakarwane me madad ki thi…gang ka boss bhi iss Kaalia…matlab iss Kailash ki wajah se hi pakra gaya tha…

ACP: To tum aur Daya ise kaise jaante ho..?

Abhi: Sir actually jis case ki mai baat kar raha hu, uss case ko jo inspector handle kar raha tha wo Daya ka dost hai…to iss case ke bare me Daya ko bhi pata tha…kuch cheezo me usne case solve karne me indirectly help bhi kiya tha…Daya Kaliya ko tabhi se janta tha…case solve karne ke baad, Kaliya ki saza kuch kam kar di gayi thi kyonki usne police ki help kit hi aur waise bhi wo gang me naya tha to uske against jyada charges nahi the….(he looked at ACP for some response but then continued when he saw that ACP was looking at him keenly..)..Sir, jail se chootne ke baad uske protection ke liye uski identity change kar di gayi thi aur uska naam Kailash rakha gaya tha…phir use Puna bhej diya gaya tha taki maamla thanda hone tak wo wahi rahe…kuch din baad wo Daya se mila tha kisi mission ke time par…usne Daya ki help ki thi wo case solve karne me…uske baad wo Daya ke sath hi Mumbai wapas aa gaya aur uske baad Daya ka khabri ban gaya…uss store me kaam bhi use Daya ne hi dilwaya tha…aur mujhe bhi ye sab usi ne bataya tha….

Shreya: Matlab sir…Daya sir abhi bhi apna network use kar rahe hai…

Abhi: Ha….iss Kailash se milna chahiye…use shayad kuch pata ho…

ACP: Usse to hum milenge hi…Rajat pehle ye batao ki Daya ne call kiya kaha se tha?

Rajat: Sir city ke outskirts pe ek area hai…kafi sunsaan ilaaka hai…koi jyada aata jaata nahi hai…wahi se call kiya gaya hai…ye dekhiye sir..(and he show him the location on the map in his i-pad)..

Abhi: Aur call kitne baje kiya gaya tha?

Rajat: Sir yahi koi aadhe ghante pehle…

ACP: Theek hai phir chalte hai wahi…Daya se milke aate hai…..Abhijeet, Freddy..tum dono tab tak Kailash se milkar aao…

Abhi: Yes sir…

ACP left along with Rajat and Shreya…Here, Abhijeet just look at them going…he understood very well that ACP sir didn't take him along because he want Abhi to stay away from Daya…he still thinks that Daya would harm him…or did he lost faith over him after he lied him in the hospital…he was in these thoughts when he felt a warm touch over his shoulder…he turned back and found Freddy standing there…

Freddy: Sir chale…

Abhi just nodded and they left from there…

In the store…

They entered and searched for the man…Kailash recognized them at once and he came forward and greeted them…he took permission from the store owner and moved out of the shop with them…

Kailash: Saab aap log Daya saab ke bare me puchne aye hai na..(Abhi and Freddy exchanged a glance then..)

Abhi : Ha tumhe kaise pata?

Kailash: Saab mere ko nahi pata hoga to aur kise hoga…saab, unse meri bahut dino se baat nahi hui thi par aaj kuch ghante pehle hi unka call aya tha…

Abhi(now he is excited): Kya…kya kaha usne…kisi case ke bare me bola…ya koi kaam diya tumhe…hain…

Kailash: Nahi saab…koi kaam to nahi diya par baat kuch badi hi hogi sahib..

Freddy: Kuch kaha nahi to tumhe kise pata ki baat badi hogi…

Kailash: Saab….Daya saab mere ko jab bhi call karte hai to baat kuch badi hi hoti hai…chote mote case ke liye wo mujhe nahi bolte…aaj bhi unhone call kiya to mujhe laga ki koi kaam hoga par unhone sirf itna kaha ki aaj ke baad mai unhe call na karu…

Freddy: Kya…Daya sir ne tumhe sirf ye kehne ke liye call kiya tha kit um unhe call na karo…

Kailash: Ha saab…mujhe bhi bahut ajeeb laga…bhala mai unhe bina kaam ke call kyu karunga…koi bhi kaam hota tha to wo khud hi call karte the…mai to bas tabhi call karta tha jab mujhe unko koi information dena ho…par abhi to mai unka koi kaam kar hi nai raha to mai kyu unhe call karu…

Abhi: Accha theek hai…tum jao…aur kuch pata chale to hume bata dena…(with that Kailash left..).Freddy chalo wapas bureau..

Freddy: Par sir, mujhe to samajh hi nahi aa raha ki Daya sir ne ise call kiya hi kyu…

Abhi: Par mujhe samajh aa gaya hai…Freddy, chalo aur raaste me mujhe iss case ki sari details do…shuru se abb tak ki investigation me job hi saamne aya hai..sab kuch…

Then they moved back to bureau and on their way, Freddy told him every minute details of their investigation…and Abhijeet noted down all those things mentally…When they reached parking lot of the bureau, Freddy said..

Freddy: Abhijeet Sir…ek aur cheez hai jo maine kisi ko nahi batayi hai…

Abhi: Kya?

Freddy handed over him a folded paper…Abhi was confused..so Freddy said..

Freddy(in low voice): Sir ye mujhe Daya sir ke ghar me mila tha…ghar ke ek kone me pada hua tha…

Abhi unfolded tha paper and his eyes got moist…he tried to hide his face from Freddy but he noticed that…Freddy put his hand on Abhi's shoulder and said..: Sir, mujhe bhi poora yakeen hai ki Daya sir nirdosh hai…aapko kabhi bhi kisi ki zaroorat ho to mai humesha aapke sath hu…(Abhi just nodded his head slightly and Freddy moved from there…)

After Freddy left, Abhi took out a diary from his coat…it was Daya's diary which he got through Tarika…and he opened a page in that diary and looked at that page and then at that page that he got from Freddy…and only two words came out from his mouth along with tears..: Kyu Daya?

After sometime he composed himself and entered in the bureau…

At some other corner of the city, ACP, Rajat and Shreya were tracing Daya's mobile location and following it…

Shreya: Sir…Daya sir ke mobile ka location constant hai….mobile kahi par gir to nahi gaya hai…

ACP: Rajat jaldi drive karo…aaj kisi bhi keemat me hume uss tak pahuchna hi hai…

Shreya: Are ye kya…sir Daya sir ka mobile to phir se switch off ho gaya….

ACP: Kya…phir se….koi baat nahi, isse ek baat to confirm ho gayi ki mobile uske paas hi hai…tabhi to switch off kiya hai…Rajat uske last location par hi chalo…hum kaafi kareeb hai uss jagah ke…to itni jaldi wo jyada door to nahi ja payega…uss area ke aas paas hi hoga…

After few minutes they reach there…they come out of their car and were about to move when Rajat called them from behind…

ACP: Kya hua Rajat…?

Rajat: Sir..aapko yaad hai…pichli baar jab hum uss band factory me gaye the to waha mobile sensor lagaya hua tha…ho sakta hai ki yaha bhi aisa koi equipment lagaya gaya ho…shayad isiliye Daya sir ne apna mobile switch off kar diya ho…

ACP: Ha aisa ho sakta hai…ek kaam karo, sab log apna mobile switch off kar lo…par yah ape khatra hai aur humare paas koi backup nahi hai aur na hi koi contact means…isiliye hum sab sath me hi rahenge…theek hai..

Rajat and Shreya: Yes sir…

ACP: Good…now let's move…

They switched their mobiles off and moved in the forest like area…After covering a few meters, they found that the forest area ended and after that a small village like area was there….but it was clear that the village was not resided by anybody…so it was now sure that the area must be used for some unsocial work…they proceeded with caution…they judged the whole area from a secure distance…

Rajat: Sir…sirf ek ghar ke saamne hi log dikh rahe hai…lagta hai pehra de rahe hai…shayad jo bhi ho raha hai wahi pe ho raha hai….

ACP: Ha Rajat…lagta to aisa hi hai…

Shreya: To sir hum ek sath un par attack kar de…unhe jyada time nahi milega…

ACP: Nahi Shreya…hum aisa nahi kar sakte…hume pata nahi hai ki wo kitne log hai…bhar sirf chaar ya paach hai par andar shayad jyada bhi ho…humaare paas koi backup bhi nahi hai to hum eek doosre ke liye hi backup ki tarah kaam karna hoga…(Shreya and Rajat nodded as they agreed)..Shreya ek kaam karo, telescope se dekho waha par exactly kitne log hai…

Shreya: Yes sir…(she check the area twice to confirm..)sir uss ghar ke bahar total paach log hai…aur unke siway aur koi nahi dikh raha…

ACP: OK…abb ek kaam karte hai…Rajat pehle jayega…piche ki taraf se kyonki us taraf koi khidki nazar nahi aa rahi hai…to agar koi andar se nazar rakh bhi raha hoga to uska asaani se dhyaan nahi jayega uss taraf…uske baad Rajat waha ki position clear karke hume ishara karega tab mai aur Shreya waha jayenge….mai right side se jaunga aur Shreya tum left side se jana aur raaste me jo aye use apne raaste se hata dena…par jitna ho sake utna koshish karna ki goli na chalani pade…warna andar job hi hai sab hoshiyar ho jayenge…theek hai..

Rajat and Shreya: Yes sir…

ACP: Good…then move…Rajat(and he signal Rajat to move..)

Rajat moved carefully from there and approach the cottage by continuously hiding himself behind some bushes or trees…then as his task was, he knocked down the two goons present there…he then look here and there and when he find a clear way for his team members to come, he signal them…and they too come and within a few minutes, all the five goons were on floor…they show thumbs up to each other…

ACP: Ha Rajat, andar ki positions ka kuch pata chala?

Rajat: Nahi sir…khidki bahut upar hai…niche se kuch bhi dikh pana zara mushkil hai…par sir ye piche ka darwaza to band hai aur isme ye chota sa hole bhi hai(he show them a small hole in the back side door..) yaha se shayad andar dekha ja sakta hai…

ACP try to peep in from that hole and others were just trying to listen what those people were saying….they heard one voice and immediately recognised it…yes, it was Daya…

ACP saw Daya standing with two other people who were dressed like some villagers who surely they were not…they were also some goons…they were literally shouting at each other from which it was clear that they are having some serious argument….ACP took his mobile out and video recorded all that….after that..

ACP turned back and saw Shreya and Rajat standing with shocked expressions…Seeing him they came out of their trance…

Shreya: Sir….ye Daya sir kya keh rahe the…

Rajat: Ha sir mujhe to vishwas hi nahi ho raha ki maine abhi Daya sir ko aisa bolte hue suna…

ACP: Abb humare paas ye sab sochne ka time nahi hai…hume unhe pakarna hoga…dekho andar sirf teen hi log hai…to hum unse araam se nipat sakte hai…agar koi problem hai to sirf Daya ki hai…usko pakarna itna asaan nahi hai…tum dono iss piche ke darwaze se andar jaoge aur unpar sudden attack karoge…par dhyaan rakhna sirf Daya par nahi sirf baaki ke do logo par hi attack karoge…Daya ko to mai dekh lunga…mai aage ke darwaze se jata hu …is it clear…

Rajat and Shreya nodded…then ACP moved to the front door and waited for Rajat and Shreya to do their job…On the other side, Rajat and Shreya broke into the cottage and fired at the two goons….they were stunned by the unexpected attack and were killed…Daya tried to escape from the front door but ACP's trap worked there…ACP was already waiting at the front door and as soon as Daya came there, he caught hold of him…and before Daya could understand anything, ACP put a pair of handcuffs in his hands and locked them behind him…Rajat and Shreya checked the whole house but found nothing…so the four of them left the place…ACP and Daya sat at the back seat of the car and Rajat was driving…Daya was not asked anything during the whole journey, though all of them had a hundred questions in their minds…finally they reached bureau and they entered inside…ACP was holding Daya from his arm like he was holding any criminal…Rajat and Shreya were behind him…they entered there…Abhijeet and Freddy were already present…As they heard them enter, both of them stood up to know more about the case but when they saw the scenario, they were shocked like hell...Abhi was just looking at Daya, ignoring all others…he was continuously staring at him whereas Daya looked down to avoid all those questioning gazes…specially that of Abhijeet….

A/N: So guys how was this? Aur surprise kaisa laga…finally aa hi gaye na Abhijeet sir…bahut manana pada wapas lane ke liye…aur aate hi itne saare jhatke lag gaye… Iss chapter me shayad kuch doubts ho sakte hai aap logo ko…so u tell me, I'll try to make them clear in the next chapter…

Aur yeh kya?abb mujhe dhamkiya milne lagi hai…ki Abhijeet ko wapas lao warna reviews nahi milenge…hain….to phir dost..yaad rakhna, meri story ka Abhijeet sirf meri baat manta hai…Tarika ji se bhi jyada…agar reviews nahi mile to phir se rest karne bhej dungi…waise bhi bechare itna stress le rahe hai…doctor se special permission lekar layi hu aap logo ke liye..:)

Aur aap me se kayi log janna chahte the na ki Tarika ko kya punishment diya Daya ne…yaar maine use bahut pucha…par usne mujhe bataya hi nahi…abb isme mai kya karu…Tarika ne jaisa mujhe bataya, maine bhi aap logo ko waisa hi bata diya…

And last but not the least, WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY LOHRI AND MAKAR SANKRANTI…..
