Chapter 17

[MEMBERSONLY]

Part 12 

March 31 2026

Michael;.....so that's what happened any questions?

Sudhakar; A couple  yes , how did you manage to memorize the entire transcript?

Michael; You might not know this but I have a photographic memory

Sudhakar; And that was easier than ,say actually giving me the transcripts?

Michael ; Yes

Sudhakar; Honestly what do you people think that I'm going to do with it?

Michael; I don't know I just don't feel like it

Sudhakar; Also , why were you referring to the criminals as the "influential criminals" were you- 

Michael; We were asked by the new IG to do so.. .we weren't allowed to say the names of those people as well as the politician eventhough the entire country knows about them... 

Sudhakar; Is that the reason behind  Abhijeet saying those things about the names in the interrogation room?

Michael ; Yes , anymore questions?

Sudhakar; What happened to Peter?

Michael; He murdered those security guards and the politician in prison and now he's enjoying his 10 years sentence knowing that his friends have been avenged

Sudhakar; How do you think the vigilantes gang know where crimes are going to occur so that they can nab the criminals in the act?

Michael; That remains a mystery.......but I have a theory that they scout the most crime prone area and nab the criminals and reveal themselves to the victims to send them away safely and the victims refuse to rat out the people who've helped them

Sudhakar; That's a solid theory . Anyway congratulations on your promotion because of the Poseidon gang case ...you deserved it. So did your ACP gadha dream come true?

Michael; My what?

Sudhakar; So much for  good memory power  (Michael; It's a photographic memory and yeah it's different from normal memories!).....you told me a couple of years ago that you had a dream in which you were ACP and Abhijeet called you a gadha (donkey) did that happen in real life?

Michael; No Senior Inspector Abhijeet is acting normally , it's actually good to just call him Abhijeet for once

Sudhakar ; I know it's theraputic......we never had that problem with Daya he came in as our junior and he's JCP now and is still our junior.....

Michael; So did I miss anything while I was gone?

Sudhakar; Nothing much..... DCP Pradyuman became Comisonner Pradyuman because he solved the cid special bureau blast case...... And guess what? It was that Dr Bharadwaj who killed them.....he's currently rotting in jail .....and Asha was promoted as Senior DCP to accommodate you as the now ACP

Michael; Bharadwaj? He's a mousy little fellow.... anyway good riddance...I know I shouldn't talk about fellow cops like that but those people were the absolute worst! That Ajatshatru prick stationed me in the call center which caused Adithi to die.....if only someone was there to help her......oh wait! Two different CID teams were present at the scene and they couldn't do anything.....poor Adithi she bravely faced off a cannibal to only die because of a stupid bomber lady and  poor Varun - no not this Varun ,  automobile showroom owner Varun was Adithi's fiance , dude got depressed took him some time to get over it ....anyway Asha is  Senior DCP? Seriously......I thought that Kolkata bureau did stupid stuff like inventing job titles like senior ACP and stuff..... seriously Asha was robbed....... Pradyuman sir should have been made DIG and Asha should've been the Commissioner

Sudhakar; Only a matter of time before that happens......you know she's better than all of us......and Ajatshatru stationed you at the call place?......hmmm I always assumed that it was Abhijeet......

At this point Asha entered....

Asha; Did you finish telling him about the Varun incedent? 

Michael; Yes I did..... congratulations on being made the Senior DCP

Asha; and congrats to you being made the ACP.....

Michael; Oh and Sudhakar? I know that you were calling Pradyuman sir during your undercover mission

Sudhakar; Wait! I thought he said that he'll never tell that to you

Micheal; Oh but he did 

Asha ; What calls?

Sudhakar; well-

Michael; oh allow me! You see Asha , between 2005 and 2024 Sudhakar talked to Pradyuman sir atleast 7 times.......after the Varun incedent sir called me to his cabin to tell me that Sudhakar had been calling him time to time reporting about his mission status...... Sudhakar actually warned ACP sir about his terrorist friend in 2010 , ACP's sir's informant being a criminal  in 2012 and actually helped sir to infiltrate the eye gang base in 2018 after that teenage boy had been killed......and biggest of all is he was the one who helped ACP sir to reach London in 2005.....

Asha; But why did he tell you this?

Sudhakar; Because in 2021 Michael started to search for me using CI's......and the maze gang made sure they get all the information about the cops who might be a potential threat.,....back in 2005 I was a nobody , so they knew nothing about me which was a perfect way to be undercover.......anyway I contacted ACP sir and he told me about the whole Nakul affair and I managed to get someone to smuggle ACP sir to London......after that It became too risky and I ceased contact with the informants .......I was only contacting ACP sir once in a while , anyway word reached to those guys that there's a missing cid officer.......16  years of my hard work to get inside the inner circle would've been wasted and I could've been killed .....so I contacted sir and asked him to talk to Freddy- ow! - Michael and make him drop the investigation......but he said that it'll be even more risky if he told Michael because Michael will try to save me and that would create unnessacary complications and he'll make sure Michael drops the investigation by some other means......

Michael; But somehow he trusted me to handle the information and told me in 2022 the evening after the IG interrogation .......truth to be told I didn't take it well....I yelled at him - fortunately no one was in the bureau- I told him that I was a nobody  and I could've helped him as well.......he calmed me down and made me drop the investigation.........that raises another question , when you came back you said that you didn't know about Daksh or Adithi and yet you helped sir to reach London ?

Sudhakar ; Well yes , you know our Pradyuman sir he didn't give me the full details.....he just said that he shot someone and it was related to his son and the terrorist group he was working with , he needed to reach London to apprehend someone who turned out to be this  Sancherz fellow......but when I came back you didn't talk to me for a week because I didn't tell you about the mission , when clearly you knew about it all this time.....

Michael ; Well guess I got too much into character.......it was fun , messing with you for a whole week

Sudhakar; Alright , I'm starving let's go that restaurant where they serve the most amazing chicken lasagna

Asha; Hey remember that time we went there when you treated us for the Mahabaleshwar property deal went well in the year 2002?

Sudhakar; How can I forget? That was  the time when I was framed and Abhijeet tried to frame me even more....... anyway it's all water under the bridge now , he apologized and  we're great friends for the past two years now.....

Michael; Fine let's go before you get worked up all over again.............
