Suddenly Arjun felt as if someone calling him...
He jerked up...
His vision blurry and a hammering head...
"Oh God" he groaned catching his head...
To see that her death was a reality...
Broken.. again... he turned around to see the DIG looking at him with questioning eyes...
"Sir..." Arjun mumbled...
"Woh mera team sir... woh" Arjun's voice broke out...
"Tum yaha kya kar rahe ho Arjun?" the DIG spoke...
"Sir... yaha drug ke consignment the... hum ussi ka raid karne aaye the... phir achanak woh bomb.." he spoke...
"Kaha hai woh drugs?" the DIG asked...
"Sir aaye..." Arjun spoke and literally ran to the 1st section...
To see the entire hall empty...
He ran all over the warehouse to see nothing there...
"Sir... sab yahi tha - saare drugs... sab kuch.. sir.." Arjun muttered heavily confused... his mind blasting at every visual he was facing...
"Arjun... yeh kehne main mujhe khud sharam aa rahe hai - par haan you are arrested for the drug supply and death of ETF members..." the DIG said bowing his head down...
"WHAT?" Arjun exclaimed.. he felt as if he was just struck with a hammer... he stared into the DIG...
Gaining his voice "Kya saboot hai?"
The DIG showed him the evidence.. voice recordings, transactions... something crossed his mind but he didn't think of anything...
Everything pointed at him... he gave up thinking and surrendered silently...
As he was in the jeep.. the constables tried to show over smartness to him... And no one messes with Arjun Rawte - no one...
The constables laughed to find themselves handcuffed and Arjun prancing out the next second...
Now the entire day seemed to come in flashes to him.. his drowsiness went off... he realised that someone put something in his food or water...
But she used to be very careful about his food... Sakshi would never allow...
"Sakshi..." his mind trailed off but he shook it off... he had to find the culprits no matter what... he jumped into his apartment and took all the necessary equipments and then rushed out...
Now there was only one member who could help him... the garage owner - Karan...

"Kya hua Kapoor.. aap itne shock main? Jhatka laga? Chalo pehle aapko.. let me tell you something..." Verma answered in a deathly voice and took a seat in the chair in front... taking a stick in hand... eyes red with rage.. Verma started off...
Kapoor gulped..
"You know Kapoor... I was trying to find out that third informer of Rawte... jiske wajeh se sabse buraa nuksaan hua... due to that person we were almost about to be caught... and even that Rawte ne ab joh khoya - woh was due to the 3rd informer... voh shayad last kaam ki around 2 months back..." Verma put head back...
"Sikandar had caught hold of Rawte's informer... without letting the informer know... and smartly - as we both know.. uss informant ko lekar apna kaam nipat liya... that informer was a double agent..." Verma informed while taking in a gulp of water... ignoring the bleeds on forehead and burns on hand...
"I am a fan of Sikandar! Kya shyaana banda hai!" Verma laughed sarcastically laughed...
"Come to the point..." Kapoor started
"DON'T INTERRUPT ME..." Verma barked at Kapoor...
Kapoor looked at Verma with tears in eyes...
Verma looked away - tears on Kappy's eyes hurt more than the burn in hand... or the bleed on forehead... sniffing back
"So where was I ... aah yes... you know bohot din se I was thinking what is wrong with you... someone got me Rawte's case... someone started thinking that we should start helping Rawte... at which I fired back ki humara mission help Arjun Rawte nahi hai... I was thinking that aisa kya tha that you were suddenly interested in helping Arjun Rawte..." Verma spat out
Kapoor buried head in palms...
"SO what was it Kapoor - guilty conscience?" Verma spoke bitterly...
"Woh... Verma..." Kapoor started...
"Wait waise aapko kaise bulavun... Kapoor ya the third INFORMER OF ARJUN RAWTE ya DOUBLE AGENT?" Verma raged breaking the glass on the table...
"Sh**" Kapoor cursed... the cover was blown...
Yes Kapoor had been the third informer of Rawte...
(Recall these...
"So why don't we help Rawte out Verma... humare line toh ek hai!" Kapoor asked
"Humara mission help Arjun Rawte' nahi hai, agar Rawte mere kaam ke beech main aaye toh I won't think twice before sending him to his wife, woh toh sirf Sikandar ko dhoondna aur phir maarna chahta hai, par hum"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arjun was reading on evidences... the ones he had collected... on him... he threw his pen frustratedly as he came back to a dead end... if there was only a glimmer of light... of hope some-where... at one point... six months back he had received tips from two of his most trusted informers... till now none had responded with new information... only one gave an information 6 weeks back... but then it asked to never contact back... (the next information would be in four months time...)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Kappy mujhe saare information chahiye, aur verify karne ki zaroorat nahi hai, kyunki agar Sikandar khud usse marne gaya toh information sahi hai...waise uske sources... especially this one specific person who has helped him maximum... usse dhoondna hai.."
"Verma, ab uss source ke baare main mat socho... think about how to track them..." Kapoor said,
Kapoor never wanted Verma to focus on the 3rd informer - true Kapoor was a double agent... but now there was nothing to be explained...
------------------------------------------)
"How many times have I told you... yaad nahi Roshni Rawte kaisi mari? Fine... sunno... the first informer of Arjun was a betrayer... not the second one... so uss informer - the first one ko use karke Sikandar ulta Rawte tak pohocha... then Sikandar was on the verge of raping Roshni... uski dupatta nahi thi and there were scratches around her neck... one side of her kurta was also torn... and Rawte was on death's doorstep... but Sikandar thought didn't violate her... sab jaanne ke baad bhi you overrode what I had to say right! RIGHT!" Verma screamed...
"Verma.. please listen yaar..." Kapoor pled
"Main koyi yaar nahi hoon... AND DON'T CALL ME VERMA..." Verma shot at Kapoor...
Verma was about to leave when Kapoor literally caught the feet of Verma...
"Yaar... please mat nikaal...tu bachpan se sab kuch hai..." Kapoor begged...
"You could have died... and this was the most horrendous mistake ever... humara poora mission bigad jaata... koi use nahi hota humara phir... Samrat ka justice... you kept all of this at stake?" Verma looked aside controlling the tears...
"Main bachpan se sab kuch hoon? Toh Sakshi ko kis baat ki sazaa mili haan?" Verma closed eyes letting the tears fall...
Saying so Verma stormed out.. just before telling "Ek hafte ke baad I am shifting from here... you do your own job while I do mine...I am not throwing you out... now no more KV..." Verma stormed out leaving a shattered Kapoor...
"Yeh maine kya kiya..." Kapoor led out silent hot tears fall out...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Arrey tu wohi inspector hai na jo mujhe pehle andar karwaaya.. phir bahar bhi... yeh chakkar kya hai boss..." Karan blabbered on...
Yes... after sneaking out of his own flat Arjun managed to get Karan out and now for a constant 15 minutes Karan blabbered constantly...
"Yeh itna baat kyun karta hai ... Rajdhani express..." his memory stopped at that
"over confident hai yeh ladki.. home minister ka number hai' etc etc, Rajdhani express hai kya, kabhi band hi nahi hoti!" his mind was racing about this incompetent girl, one look was more than enough for him to know her!
Blinking back his tears he convinced Karan and joined hands with him... very easily they had caught the culprit - it was the minister himself...
Upon all these facts when the DIG offered him his post back he resigned...
When Karan asked him why... "Main uss jagah ke liye kaam nahi kar sakta... jiske khaatir sab kuch gavah ke mujhe yeh kahe ke maine unn sab ko maar diya... ki maine usse maar diya... uski aansoon nahi dekhi jaati aur kaha ke maine maara usse..." he gritted his teeth...
Karan kept silent and continued his work... he knew that his "Shera" was an odd stuff...
"Yaar Karan beta... kuch toh gadbad hai... yeh toh Devdas dikh raha hai!"
Being young and lean especially with his green eyes Karan was the favorite among the girls... he did have a sharp intellect... thus he didn't miss observing his Shera out there... and hence he didn't leave any stone unturned to work with this mysterious fellow...
"Par main tujhe madat kyun karoon!" Arjun glared...
"Kyunki tune tere waalon ko khoya hai ek ghalat faimi ke wajeh se... soch agar hum tab hi saare saboot de dete toh kitna acha hota... sab kuch hayad waapas mil jaata... bahar aur kitne saare Karan Arjun hai jo apnon ko khoya hai - agar hum unhe iss ghatina se bachaa de toh?" Karan answered back...
That made Arjun agree to work with Karan... It had been one week since he had met Karan.. now he usually stayed in the room above the garage.. he still couldn't take the fact about her death... no.. it was impossible... she couldn't die for this lame excuse... "Kuch toh choot raha hai..."
"Kyunki jab mujhe chot pohochti hai toh tumhe bhi kuch na kuch hota hai, it's vice versa... apne aap ko theek rakho main bhi theek rahoongi!"
He stared at the ceiling.. blankly recalling her words...
"Sakshi... main zinda hoon... tum kaha ho?" fresh tears found it way out as he crushed to glass of cutting chai in his hand...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Somewhere a person stirred... "Arjun..."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Precap:
Verma washed the face repeatedly... it was time now... "I have to activate the second informer..."
*********************************************
Arjun sat next to the table and saw a chit "Post mortem report phirse check karlo... Aur haan tumhare upar jo faulty case tha uska bhi details! :)"
"Yaha toh main sabki madat karta hoon... yeh mujhe kaun madat kar raha hai?" Arjun thought puzzled and then looked at the chit again...
"Kuch toh choot raha hai!" he quizzed...
