"Why would he release you? There has to be a catch... I know he wouldn't let such an important factor go unless there's something in it for him." Rajveer told the group. He turned to Abhimanyu, who was rubbing his neck from a dull pain he complained about a few times. "What did they do? Explain all the details..."

"He had me at gunpoint and threatened to kill all of you, so I let him blindfold me and tie up my hands. Two of his men spun me so I wouldn't be able to tell the direction, then pushed me along to their hideout. They didn't take the blindfold or hand-tie off after I got there, but gave me a small beating. The strangest thing about it was that they seemed to... pull... at my shirt." Abhimanyu explained, frowning as he recalled the events.

"Where were you when he caught you?" This question was from Aalekh.

"At some sort of cave, trying to..." his eyes grew wide. "Oh my God how could I forget?! The Headquarters! I contacted them... I didn't turn it off when Gehlot caught me, so they must have heard everything... I told them our location too! Why didn't they send any help along yet?!" He looked around frantically.

"They did, but Gehlot's men got to most of them." Nandini replied. His frown deepened in confusion.

"Most of them? How do you know? Wait... you're...?" She nodded.

"Sir," Naina started, trying to determine how to describe her suspicion, but failed. "Well... about them - pulling - at your shirt... I don't think..." she huffed quietly to herself in dismay as she tried to describe it unsuccessfully, but looked up in shock as Rajveer backed her up.

"I've been thinking of this as well." he gave her a piercing glance, making her feel as if he could read her inside out. She looked away at the intensity, unable to stand up to such a strong emotion being conveyed through one glance. The next moment she looked back at him though, this time with excitement.

"Sir!" she called out, facing both Abhimanyu and Rajveer. She turned back to look at her friends to see if any of them noticed, and saw Huda with a look of slight recognition as he stared intently at Abhimanyu's collar.

Rajveer and Nandini understood immediately and exchanged glances. They quietly proceeded towards a confused Abhimanyu, signing at him to stay quiet as well. There was a shine now and then from under his collar fold, like light reflecting off metal or something shiny. Huda's expert eyes had caught it as soon as he saw Naina stare at it in surprise.

Taking out the white handkerchief, to Naina's surprise since she thought it was still back in the tent, Rajveer reached out to take a small chip-like gadget. Yudi and Abhimanyu gasped, both recognising what it was.

"Oh my G-" Yudi whispered in awe, but stopped when he saw Rajveer's sign of keeping quiet.

"Chauhan Saab are you feeling better now? That wound still looks very raw... are you sure you don't need rest?" he asked in such a genuine tone that most of them stared at him, confused. Nandini, Abhimanyu and Huda though,understood what he was doing, and smirked as they played along.

"I'm fine Raj... it was a small wound. Don't worry. It's more important to figure out what's going on right now!" Abhimanyu replied.

"No. You're going to rest Chauhan, and so will Cadets - Sahani and...?" Nandini asked, looking pointedly at Aalekh.

"Aalekh. Just Aalekh." he replied indifferently. She raised an eyebrow but didn't take it further.

"Cadet Sai and Cadet Kamran, could you please assist Captain Abhimanyu, Cadet Yudi and Cadet Aalekh to the tents and see to their needs? It's better to be well rested and freshened before going into such a complicated discussion." Rajveer suggested, looking at the chip. He looked back up at Abhimanyu and Nandini, trying to decide what to do.

"In our days as cadets, usually Raj and I were what Abhimanyu called 'front-benchers', while he was a 'back-bencher'. Nandini was both, depending on the situation and her mood." says Naveen's voiceover, showing Abhimanyu and Nandini's expressions, both looking at Rajveer expectantly. "So usually whenever we did a group work, one of us two were considered the leader, most of the times me. But now that I am no longer with them, my friend Raj was automatically given that position." We see his determined face as he looks around at everyone.

He reached out to the chip and put it back under Abhimanyu's collar. "Get some sleep Chauhan. And don't worry, we'll get them."

"Are you sure you're not trying to convince yourself and not me?" Abhimanyu quietly asked.

"Even though he was given the role of the leader, he was still a human being, one who would be one of the greatest friends but needed some himself too at times." says Naveen's voiceover again as Rajveer looks down.

"Don't worry Raj, we'll get them." Abhimanyu repeated his words reassuringly, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder before turning away and walking towards the tent along with Aalekh, Yudi, Sai and Kamran. For a few moments, Rajveer keeps looking on at the direction that Abhimanyu went in, deep in thought. We see flashes of Naina's worry, Nandini's understanding, Yudi's sympathy, Huda's admiration and Pooja's respect.

"One thing common in all of these people at that moment was that every one of them had vowed in a way or other to stand by my dear friend till the adventure or their lives came to an end, whichever came first." says Naveen's voiceover as we see the flashes of everyone's faces, stopping on Rajveer.

Precap - Rajveer is giving out directions to everyone, similar to a few episodes earlier.

He and Nandini are sitting by a campfire as Naina watches from a distance.
