Chapter 6
"Where's the voice coming from?!" she whispers.
"I don't know..." Rajveer muttered.
"Surrender now, if you want to live... or shall I say, if you want your cadets and best friend to live! Come to Point 894 immediately." The voice boomed once again.
"Whoever or where ever he is... I don't think he knows that you are with me, or that you're here at all." Rajveer said quietly to her. "Nandini you need to get out of here and get help..."
"How do you know that he doesn't know I'm here? And he just said that the entire forest is his, so obviously he has heavy security!" she whispered fiercly.
"And you're a trained army Captain, Nandini! If he knew you were here he wouldn't demand that I surrender, but come hunting us down. He hasn't seen you yet! So go now, hurry, before he really does hunt us down!" Rajveer whispers frustratedly. Nandini shook her head determinedly.
"No. I'm not leaving both of my best friends to have horrible endings like Naveen... don't you remember what our motto was? 'Together always, never separate'... how can you break that now after so many years?" Rajveer merely looked at her thoughtfully.

"Why do you always go around with a knife?" Yudi asked Aalekh as the latter dug a hole in the ground around one of the bars separating his and Yudi's cells. He ignored the question and signed asking for help. Yudi kneeled down and tried to move the bar, but to no avail. Aalekh went back to digging more when they heard voices and footsteps coming their way.
They both scrambled away after trying their best to keep the hole hidden. Thankfully, Aalekh's quick and sly thinking and experiences from jail came to use when he chose the bar farthest away from anyone's view from outside the cells and beside the wall.
Aalekh pretended to be unconscious still, groaning softly in pain occassionally. Yudi on the other hand went back to pacing, sighing now and then. Three armed men came into view. One of them threw a piece of stale bread at both their faces, and another one pushed two glasses of water in, tipping it slightly so that the water poured out.
Aalekh and Yudi grit their teeth as they heard the men laugh, fuming with anger. Yudi had a difficult time not to jump at them, but he remembered Rajveer's teachings. He would only make things worse if he lost control.
After some insults being thrown and more laughter the men got bored from not getting any replies and went back to the direction they came from. When the sounds completely died down, the two went back to digging. Time passed by, and before they knew it they found themselves running as quietly as possible in the opposite direction from where the three men came.
"Dead end..." Yudi said disappointedly hitting the wall above his head. An echo came back, and they looked at the wall in shock. "It's hollow!"
"Yeah, but it sounded like it was high up..." Aalekh muttered thoughtfully, the wheels in his head turning. Taking out his knife once again, he stabbed the wall, not surprised when it easily created a small hole. Working on it some more with the help of Yudi, they created a big hole on the wall high above their heads. "Hoist me up!" he ordered Yudi.
Yudi looked at him for a few moments, balancing up the positives and negatives. He realised one of them had to do it, and it wouldn't be Aalekh because he had fallen from a hill. Yudi gave in and put his hands out to give Aalekh a boost. Soon, Aalekh was seen on a wavering Yudi's shoulders, climbing in through the hole into the small room.
"Dude, you're heavy!" Yudi told him. Sighing in relief when the weight was lifted from his shoulder, he checked to see whether anyone was coming or not. He held up his hands, being yanked up by Aalekh. They looked around in wonder; it was a safe of some sort. There were all types of ammunitions with one problem; they were all old models that had been banned years ago.
