Part 10
i will refer to the terrorists as terros...that word is too long.
==========================================================
"Now!!" said huda.
The three of them…fired at the ones who were the nearest. Before the terrorists could realize what was happening …one was already shot and died. They ran towards the barrels and kept on firing at it…which made it difficult for huda and the others to fire back.
"shit!" huda was angry….
"I cannot afford to lose this one.." ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------
The firing alerted the terrorists everywhere….and they started firing aimlessly…at all possible directions….
"yeh kya ho raha hai??"
"pata nahi …lagta hai yeh army walon ne humein charo taraf se gher liye hain….khabar mili hai ki code z shahid ho gaya….they fired suddenly…and before code z could realize what was happening he died."
" fire karte raho…don't give them a chance to fire back….is desh ki army ko to sabak sikhana padega….in kutto ko yeh pata nahi hai…ki hum inke khilaf…kya kya kar rahein hain" replied the boss…and laughed.
------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------
"damn!"
"sir…we won't be able to fire back…we don't have enough space to fire at them….they don't seem to stop firing…!"
"I know!.....
i know…what shall I do….if only…..." "Lt Yudi….no matter what happens…be alert and if you even get a chance fire at them…I am going to check out something…don't go out of this place…this grove is giving us enough cover to hide ourselves."
within few minutes rajveer arrived with two medium sized stones and ordered yudi to gather as many dry leaves and sticks as possible….
Within five minutes….they had enough of everything they needed….rajveer started a small fire with the leaves with the help of the two stones he brought. And extinguished it immediately when the fire started to grow…
Rajveer took out the list of the names in the camp which the major had given him…and started to fan the singed leaves. The smoke started to built up ….which made yudi cough…yudi took out a small bottle…(enough to be medicine bottle)and drank a very small gulp of water…
"the smoke isn't enough…(notices yudi drinking water …extra cautiously) what is that Lt? .."
"Si…sir..water..i always keep a supply"
"give that to me.."
Yudi made a sad expression…and gave it "sir that's the only bottle I have…and I get thirsty too often.."
"meaning…I shouldn't drink too much??....(after saying this…rajveer poured the entire amount of water on charred leaves and started to fan)"
"sir…."
The smoke started to built up…. "Lt yudi…get ready we are going to face some serious confrontation"
------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------
"who kya hai?" asked one of the terros..
"seems like something is burning….its coming from that forest…come to think of it…where is code A and code F?"
"they went to search for that man who shot Code C..and he went towards those trees…but hasn't returned"
"Maybe its them…I think they have been caught ….It may also be a trap…fire at them and keep on firing…and advance slowly…"
--
major jain got his chance…The small gap was enough…"fire at once…!"
major along with others started firing…and shot down three of their men and lost one of his. He paid no heed to the dead officer and advanced towards the terros…dodging several hits. At one such moments…he got hit. Right through his stomach…and fell down…but the bullets had no mercy….they didn't stop until his body started to tear.
His breathing had stopped.
------------
The terrorists were down to nine out of fifteen. The major jain's group had only one left …who chose to hide …so as to at least block the camp site's entry.
Ali who was going towards rajveer had to face bullets too….alekh on the other hand had reached huda…and was helping them face such a situation. Two more of the terros were shot.
Now the terros were alarmed. Three of them took off their masks and sat within the group of hostages…whereas the other two fought…two of the remaining advanced slowly towards the clump of trees and were shot by yudi and rajveer. Yudi checked the bodies and rajveer kept a watch.
----------
while the shooting continued…one of hostages couldn't stand it anymore, the sight of so much blood shook the man. Out of fear he stood and screamed. Inspite of the persuasion by the other hostages…he was not ready to listen. The terrorists tried to stop him by hitting him but nothing could stop that man who had gone crazy over the bloodshed.
----------
rajveer and huda's group noticed it. Rajveer clenched his teeth. "this is it…enough!" and ordered yudi to keep a watch and went towards the group cautiously. huda asked alekh to give him cover and advanced towards the group too.
Huda could see rajveer doing the same. And followed exactly what raj did. Together they shot down one more of the terros.
The one left on the front got nervous and looked back towards the three hiding in the group but the three told him not to and gestured him not to notice them. This short gap of silence gave a chance to rajveer and huda who started running towards him who was looking back. Just then the terro noticed them running towards them.
He took hold of the man who was screaming and pointed gun towards him and shouted that if they advance anymore he would kill him….rajveer and huda stopped midway and looked towards each other.
-------
"capt rajveer…huda?" thought naina in shock and looked towards ritu who was staring at them too.
"why is he here…what is he doing here….WHY?" a voice screamed inside naina. Who was near to tears.
Ritu just stared ahead…with no expression.
Both of them were just too surprised to show any emotion. Fear…anger…regret swept their expressions away.
Both of them knew that if they speak a thing….the terrorists sitting amongst them would use them to lure the two. Silence was the best thing to react with.
-------
"fire at the two the moment they keep their guns down" said one of the three terros sitting between the hostages.
Naina heard it. One drop of tear rolled down her cheek.
"I have to stop them" ------
"we won't fire …please don't kill him" told rajveer.
"then put your guns down and kneel down…both of you!"
The moment they bend down to keep their guns down… naina screamed "don't keep the guns down they are going to kill you….run away ….!!!!!.....pleaaaseeeee don't keep the gun down!!"
One of them closed her mouth by his palm and pulled her down with force…naina kept mumbling and tried to break free…
"Naina?????????" rajveer and huda looked towards her in shock…horror..
Rajveer almost ran towards her ..pointing the gun at the terros "leave her!!! I said just leave her you bas***ds!!"
Seeing him running towards them two of the terros got up and fired at him continuously…
ritu screamed "what are you do-- …..nooooooooooooooooo!!"
naina stopped struggling with the terro…and stared….
"no…..don't do that…..no…please…..don't shoot…please…" the bullets were fired at his direction…..naina heard a someone screaming her name ….evrything in front of her starting getting hazy…. "no don't shoot" whispered naina and fainted.
