Chapter 28
Maan and Neha left right away to the disco...while driving...
Maan: So Ms. Neha how long have you been working with CID?
Neha: Why are you interviewing me to see if I qualify or not?
Maan: No jfor your information I don't have any problems working with female partners
Neha: I know I have read..your last partner was Sameera and as for your question I have been working with CID for about 6 years...
Maan: Hmmm you have done your homework...
Neha: Of course am not considered the best profiler for no reason Detective Khurana
Maan: Call me Maan if we are going to be working together let's not be formal
Neha: Alright you got it..
Maan: Well we are here...just follow my lead
Neha: Alright...let's go in...
They went inside the disco after Maan showed his badge to the guard...they saw manager yelling at his staff members to get the work done...Maan and Neha went up to the manager...
Maan: Excuse me are you the manager here? (Let's use "M" for manager lol)
M: yeah I am (he turned around) how did you two get in?
Neha: We are from police...I am Neha Sharma from CID and this is Detective Khurana
Maan: we came here to ask you couple of questions about Tasha Gupta
Before Maan and Neha could ask anything..the manager ran out of the building...Neha and Maan ran after him outside...when they got outside the manager was gone in his car..quickly both got into the car..Neha driving while Maan in the passenger seat...
Maan: Shit he is going away...go faster...(he takes out his gun and lowers the window) damn I don't have a good shot at his car...
Neha: He is not that far away
Maan: Wait I know what way he is going....make a quick left when you see Taj Mahal restaurant..
Neha: But I am very close to catching up to him..we might loose him
Maan: Just do it..it's a shortcut
Neha: Alright...
She makes a left when she sees the restaurant..soon enough their car is right behind the managers car..she accelerates the car running straight into his car...the manager quickly gets off the car and tries to make a run for it...Maan gets out of the car and runs after the manager...Maan runs right into the manager knocking both of them on the ground..manager manages to punch Maan on the face.. manager tried to run away again when Maan picks him up and throws him against the side pole
Neha: Freeze (holding a gun in her hand)..put your hands up...don't even try running again...(to Maan) are you ok?
Maan: Yeah I am ok..(he gets up and pulls the manager off the ground by holding to his color) you are coming with us
"M": Please I am innocent..I didn't do anything...(Neha searches his pockets to see if there are any weapons..she finds some packets of drugs)
Maan: We will find out..let's go
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the police station...
Neha: Alright his name is Arjun Khanna..he is known to sell drugs to some of the students when they go to his disco to make extra money on the side and he was also Tasha's boyfriend..
Maan: Do you think that he is our guy?
Neha: By looking at him..so far he fits the standard profile..he is around mid 20's ...tall...have relationship to the victim
Adi: That won't be enough to put him in jail...well so far we have given Rahul to do some lab work on the drugs that you guys confiscated from Arjun...(Sasha came)
Sasha: Here are the reports of the tox screens I have done on Tasha...she has some traces of a drug called Hyrdo which can cause headaches, dizziness and sometimes blackouts...this drug matches the one we got from Arjun
Maan: So he could be our guy
Sasha: umm maybe she might've used it to just get high...so far we can't come up with any conclusions..
Maan: Alright..let's go and talk to Arjun
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maan and Neha entered the room where Arjun was being held at...they both sat down in front of him
Arjun: I should let you know that I am not talking...I didn't do anything wrong
Maan: That is fine..just listen to what we have to say
Neha: This is about murder (Arjun felt really nervous at the mention of murder..Neha took mental note of this)
Arjun: mu mu murder? What murder...I didn't do it..I swear
Maan: we found a body of Tasha Gupta today in the morning..she was last seen after she left from your disco...
Arjun: Tasha...you mean to say that she..she..is... (shocked unable to complete his sentence)
Maan: Yes unforuntently she is dead..she was at your place last time..and so far all the evidence points against you..
Neha: What can you tell us about Tasha?
Arjun (tears start to come down): look Tasha and I used to go out...we broke up last night...it was like one time thing with me..she was cue and fun to be with that's all...she mostly came to me when she wanted some drugs
Maan: what about last night?
Arjun: Last night she had come to my place...wanting to have some drugs...I gave her couple of packets that's all..and some time later she came back asking for more..when I refused to give her more..she started shouting..so I broke up with her...she just left the place after that..I swear I haven't heard anything from her afterwards..I just assumed she went home or whatever...
Maan: Alright.. (calls some officers to hold Arjun for the night in the jail)
Neha (to Maan): He is def. not our guy
Maan: I know damn...
Neha: Well I think I might have a good idea about the killer..I am going to back home and draw up a report about the killer..
Maan: Alright...let me know..do you need any ride?
Neha: Thank you but I have my own car..See you tomorrow
Maan: Bye (Maan decided to go talk to Adi)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Adi: come in
Maan: Hey we talked to Arjun and well he is not our guy
Adi: Listen about Neha
Maan: Adi it is fine...she is good...am glad you put her on the case...she is good
Adi: whew ok I don't want to hear any complaints from your side than
Maan: Come on I don't start a fight
Adi: yeah tell that to someone who don't know you...by the way shouldn't you be home?
Maan (looked at his watch): Ohh damn the day went by fast..ok I have to go home before Geet gets mad (he ran out of the office)
Adi (to himself): That's what happens when you get marry...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maan came home and went straight to his room...he sat on the bed relieved that Geet wasn't in the room..than he heard her coming out of the bathroom his back toward the bathroom door...he forgot to clean up his wound...he knew that Geet would be mad seeing the chot
Geet: Ohh so finally came home
Maan (not facing her): umm yeah new case...
Geet: hmm why don't you go change and freshen up I will get some food for you...am assuming you didn't eat anything
Maan: why would I eat outside when I know my beautiful wife makes food at home for me (gets up still has his back toward Geet)
Geet (looks suspicous): Why all of a sudden are you praising my food?
Maan (quickly changes his direction in front of his closet..and starts to take out his clothes..pretends to be mad): so if I say something nice you have problem and if I don't you still have problem..make up your mind will you
Geet: Alright why are you getting angry...I was just asking...I will be right back
Maan (sighs): Ok take your time...actually set it up downstairs I will be there...
Geet: Ok..(Geet leaves the room..Maan turns to look at the door..he was about to lock it in case Geet comes in...) ohh I forgot to tell you....(Maan stood there shocked) What happend to you? (angry)
Maan: ohh ummm nothing..(walks toward the bathroom)
Geet (comes close to him): I knew you were hiding something..why do you always have to show everyone that you are tough huh..here sit on the bed...
Maan: I wasn't showing anything..we had to chase one of the suspects..i had to tackle him before he got away that's all
Geet: That's what I mean..you could've just said stop...and who is we?
Maan: Geet come on you are acting like if I say "please stop" they will stop...Adi got me a new partner for this case..Neha
Geet: Neha?
Maan: yeah why are you jealous? (smiles...trying to see her reaction)
Geet (busy cleaning his chot): Why would I be jealous...I just don't know how she ended up working with you...
Maan (becomes angry): What do you mean?
Geet: You know you like to show everyone that you are the boss and you are Mr.tough guy.
Maan: For your information I don't do that..and I only have to show one person who is the tough guy (smirks)
Geet: Who? Ok am all done...go freshen up now..I will get you some dinner
Maan pushes her on the bed and hold her down by his weight..
Geet: Maan what are you doing?
Maan: Showing you who is Mr.tough (smiles mischievously)
Geet (looks at him): Maan get up...(Maan doesn't listen..he bends down and kisses her...he brings her arms around his neck..she kisses him back with passion..soon they both are lost in each other...)
