Chapter 2
"Sir! What am i supposed to do with this file? I mean if i'm not wrong, Riddhima had been caught personally by you, and then you even helped her get a clearance of her name, atleast in the boundaries of Mumbai", his last words were filled with sarcasm.
"Officer A, you forgot to turn-over the page", seriousness flooded Shashank's voice, and Armaan felt guilty for his impulsive words.
Nevertheless, Armaan turned the page, and saw another name blotted with the ink. The lack of a picture on both the pages, didn't go unnoticed by him.
"Abhimanyu Modi! Isn't he an international criminal? What is his file doing with us? Is there some trouble sir?", Armaan questioned.
"Yes, to your first and third question. I'm afraid that my source has informed that Modi's next target, to crack his deal, is in India, Mumbai to be precise. It's upto us, to catch him, and his secret unknown friends", he folded his arms on his chest.
"I understand that sir, but what has she got to do with Abhimanyu Modi's file. Is she his accomplice?"
"Officer A, i know you hate her. I don't blame you, you were put on her case, but she managed to escape at your hands with free ease. There's no exact reason for you to like her anyway, she's a criminal right? But a bloody smart one, i must mention", he chuckled at Armaan's attempts to hide his anger, "I helped clear her name in Mumbai, because she agreed to help us uncover some tight cases. She was an immense help to our department at that time. I'd even planned to recruit her", Armaan's face carried the expressions of horror, "Relax! She told me she wanted rest from this life, and wanted to relax. And thus she rejected my offer"
"I still don't get the connection between her and Modi's case"
"Officer A! Are you really this dumb, or you're just acting it up, because trust me, i am in no mood to play riddles", he looked at Armaan, who inturn gulped in confusion.
"Oh my God Armaan! I want her to accompany you on this case, it's as simple as that", he raised his hands in the air.
Armaan couldn't bring a word out of his mouth, and the finality with which Shashank had ordered him, he knew he was in no situation to argue. So he just nodded his head to show that he'd understood.
"Well then! I'll get the papers ready. She's a free bird in Mumbai, but not in any other city, there, she's still a criminal. Just in case you guys ever cross the boundary limits, i'll get her papers ready stating that she's under my custody. And i shall be responsible for her", Armaan nodded at this too.
"Sir i'll make sure that she doesn't run away", he promised.
"Eh Officer A! I need to tell you somethings. If you really want her help, and trust me, you do, because you can't catch Modi single-handedly, so treat her like a lady. Respect her as an equal, and try listening to and implementing her advices. Never ignore her intuition, she's got a great one, always right. Don't tag her as 'the criminal', it irritates her. And lastly, don't forget that it's us people at her mercy, not vice-versa. She may have the advantaged to be cleared in a lot of cities if she manages to get Modi caught, but she ain't that desperate, not yet. Mumbai is her birthplace, and she's totally fine if she has to stay here all her life. Get it?"
Armaan memorized the points in order, of how he was supposed to behave politely with the royal highness. He cursed her under his breath, until he tried to concentrate on his next set of orders.
"Officers R and M shall work with you on the case", Shashank briefed.
"I'm glad to know sir", for once, he smiled genuinely.
"So you must get going?", Shashank stood up, leaving the seat.
"Where sir?", Armaan asked, still a little dazed, but managed to stand.
"I just told you! You're supposed to go to Riddhima's house, and convince her to work with you, because she just won't listen to me", Shashank could obviously not miss the look of horror cloud up on Armaan's face.
