Arjun Case SS: The Devil's Trap, Chap4, Page 27 24/01 - Page 10

He grabbed her by her arm and pulled her up, "Jhoot! That address you gave us doesn't have anything or anyone! It was an abandoned place!"

"Sach sach batao! Warna!" Arjun said angrily. He rather felt her trembling and released her when he realized he was hurting her.

Arti fell back on the sofa, she lowered her head till it was on her knees. She was trembling like a leaf, and mumbled, "Dekhiye I really got a job offer from there. I'm not lying!" she raised her tears filled eyes to look at him.

Aisha took over from there, seeing Arjun was close to losing his control.

"Dekho don't lie to us! Sach batao!" Aisha said angry.

But Arti kept on muttering she didn't know anything, when suddenly she remembered where her friends stayed. She gave them Reetu's address to them and asked them to go and check with her. Rathore called Shree and asked him to go and check that out. They all waited for any new clue.

Sometime later, Shree called back and asked everyone to reach at the address given by Arti. Rathore asked Aisha to stay back with Arti and Shireen, while he and Rathore went away.

Somewhere else, Sakshi had found something out. She took an auto and tried to call Arjun. But Arjun was driving and finding her name on the screen, he preferred to ignore her. She kept calling him, but he never answered. She tried calling back Rathore, but the mobile of her battery was completely down, and before she could even say anything, her mobile went dead.

Rathore and Arjun were on the way to Reetu's place when his mobile had started to ring. Seeing Sakshi's name, he took the call, but before anything could be said, he heard the line went dead. He tried to call her back, but nothing. "Damn it!" he said.

"Kaun tha?" Arjun asked while concentrating on the road.

"Sakshi isn't reachable!" Rathore said.

"She must be fooling around somewhere!" Arjun said and both dismissed her.

While on the other hand, Sakshi was telling the autodriver to drive quickly. She prayed to Bappa that she didn't reach too late.

Arjun and Rathore reached Reetu's place. They entered the house and were shocked to see two bodies lying on the ground.

Rathore asked Shree about these two bodies, while Arjun looked around for any clues.

"Sir, we have two corpses, one is a girl and if we consider the pictures around and her ID, she's Reetu. And the other corpse is no one other than Anuj, the kidnapped person," Shree said.

"Sir they have been dead since more than 24hrs now. They were killed by being shot at. But more can only be said after analysis. However the girl was killed, and there aren't much bruises on her body. But this man, Anuj, he was tortured before being killed," Liza added.

Arjun bent to examine the bodies, but he couldn't find anything suspicious.

"Kuch to choot raha hein!" he said while still looking at the bodies.

He got up and started to search the whole house. Everyone searched but didn't find anything. They found some fingerprints on a few things, and sent them for analysis. Arjun was in the kitchen, when he saw the dustbin. He emptied it and saw some papers. He picked them up and took them Rathore. Rathore eyed those papers and did not understand what Arjun wanted to say.

"These were the same paper which had been used to pack those parcels which Arti was carrying! Meaning everything was done from here!" Arjun stated.

Rathore felt fear for Aisha, and they all rushed out to go back to Shireen's place. All the while Rathore tried to contact Aisha, but she never picked up her call. They all were very apprehensive of what was perhaps awaiting them at Shireen's place. Within one hour they reached and all rushed to the flat. When they were almost near, they could see that the door was ajar. They all removed their guns and slowly made the way till the door. Arjun counted till three and all rushed inside pointing their guns up.

The sight which met their eyes was same as at Reetu's place. There was blood everywhere, but upon searching they couldn't find any bodies. Rathore swore out of anger and fear.

"Where was Aisha?" he roared.

"Shree call Liza here, we need to examine whose blood is this?" Arjun said.

Shree took out his mobile, he was already scared upon not seeing Aisha, when his ears fell on the handbag which was barely visible from under the sofa. He walked towards it with a sinking feeling, and bent to pick it up. He was too scared to even say anything, and turned around to show everyone what he had found. He could see everyone's face when the truth finally dawn on them.

"Sakshi was here also..." Rathore whispered.

Just then the phone started to ring...
