ACPs came back to ETF office, empty handed and fuming in anger. Arjun & Rathod rushed to their cabins and Kabir entered conference room, hoping to see Aisha there, but he saw Saakshi sitting there alone, reading case file.
Saakshi looked up with sudden sound of Kabir's settling into a chair.
Saakshi : You brought him?
Kabir : Nop...he's too smart...pehle se hi bail le rakha hain...(he made a face)
Saakshi : Don't worry...we'll bring him to book. Arjun kahan hain?
Kabir : Cabin main..
Saakshi : Hmm...garam hain?
Kabir : Haan...whole chicken bar-b-q karr sakti ho usski sarr pe...chaho toh Rathod ka sarr bhi use kar sakti ho...pura raasta garam tandoor ki tarha dhua nikal raha tha dono ki kaan se...
Saakshi : (thinking)Toh ek pe chickn bar-b-Q aur dusre pe parathe bana lete hain...accha lunch hoga...nahi??
Kabir : (smiled) Arre, wah!! Tum to kaafi solid ho yaar!!...but lunch se yaad aaya...I'm hungry.(pouted)
Before Saakshi could answer, Aisha, chotu and Liza came in with faces down.
Kabir : (smirking) Arre, itna saaf-sutra kyun lag rahi ho sab? Kisine dhoya kya?
Aisha : (Flared up) Kabir!! Chup karr!!

On the other hand, Rathod was approaching towards the conference room, when an orderly gave him a envelop. It was marked as important. Rathod tried to understand by its weight and went to his cabin to see it properly.
He settled in his chair and opened the envelop, it contains a flash drive and a printed note which says " See the content of this flash drive". He again checked the envelop, but it has nothing except one word printed on it "Important". He inserted the flash drive into his laptop and opened the drive. It contains a video clip and a small text document.
He read the text first and it was enough to make his blood boil. He couldn't dared to open the clip alone after reading the text. He called the first name came into his mind, Arjun.
************************
Arjun was sitting in his chair, he was angry and frustrated on the failure. He was cursing that Varun when Rathod's call broke his trance. He looked at it, and then towards chiefs cabin, Sameer looked pale. It made him surprise, why that man is calling him, when he can easily walk in!!
Arjun : Rathod, you carry on..i'll join you...
Rathod : Come to my cabin Rawte...I can't handle this alone!
Arjun felt the urge into Rathod's voice and rushed.
In Rathod's cabin.
Arjun : (entered) what happened?
Rathod showed him the letter. Arjun read it loud.
"Dear ETF chief, This Ruhi Batra case is of course not an easy one for you. ETF should not took this case, Better you must drop this case, there are other good cases are waiting for TF, concentrate on those. We presume, Any type of injury of your officers would not make you happy. You have three very beautiful, attractive and young ladies in your team. so plz, be careful about them. Remember, we are not threatening. you know what happened to Miss Ruhi, if not just check the media file we attached, we hope you won't like to watch such clips of your lady members on adult sites, do you?"
Arjun : they sent us threats!
Rathod nodded and passed him the flash drive. Arjun looked at it, he was worried.
Arjun : I think, we should call Kabir also.
Rathod called Kabir over his cell phone, within a minute Kabir arrived.
Kabir : Found anything?
Rathod showed him the letter, kabir read it between the lines...and stumped on a chair.
Kabir : Kaafi sophisticated threat hain...you watched the clip?
Others nodded negatively.
Kabur : Then watch it, what are you waiting for? (he looked at the red face of the ACPs and sighed) Look guys...if it is Ruhi's, then we must watch it, no matter how terrible we feel about it, but it is an evidence also, it's may be of her last few minutes...(he inhaled sharply) but we have to do it, for...(he judged the facial expression of Rathod and Arjun) ok, If you don't want to watch it, then don't. But I have to, it's my only chance to find any clue.
He extnded his hand to pick that flash drive up, while Arjun spoke up.
Arjun : Kabir, Play this into Rathod's laptop. Blinds off karo Rathod.
Rathod nodded and shut the blinds off, Arjun locked the door and then they watched the clip. The 10 minute long clip was horrible. Arjun stopped watching after the 3rd minute, after 5th minute Rathod sprinted to the washroom and when it finished Kabir silently exited the room.
Rathod came back to his cabin and found Arjun standing near the window.
Rathod : Kabir?
Arjun : He's out, give him some time.
Rathod settled into his chair and sighed. He couldn't think properly. How someone could be that cruel to a girl! His anger was brewing up and he decided to inform commissioner about the threat and request him to issue a shoot at sight order for those filthy animals. He extended his hand to his phone, when Kabir entered the room again.
Kabir : Whom you are calling?
Rathod : Commissioner...
Kabir : Don't! Don't forget we have a deal...
Rathod : But I have to... ETF just got a threat from...
Kabir : that's why we would be quite, they want us to call commissioner, and he'll transfer this case to any other wing showing this security issues of your ladies...You don't want to drop this case, do you?
Rathod : Drop it! No way...but I can't put my officer's life at stake!
Kabir : Then don't. You are the chief, you can keep the girls away from this case. Just order them to...
Arjun : But still they are part of ETF. You should tell them about this threat. At least they ...
Kabir : no way! These girls are totally nuts. Jis chez k liye mana karoge na, wahi sabse pehle karegi, agar sach bata dia toh iss case pe chipak jayegi...specially Aisha. Who kisiki nahi sunegi...
Rathod : then? these girls are not stupid Kabir, they are trained officers like us..they'll smell that something is fishy. Aur Yaha rahegi toh case ki baare main unhe pata chal hi jayegi...& don't forget they are doing maximum tasks of evidence analysis..
Kabir : Toh koi cause dikhake sabko suspend kardo...
Arjun : What cause? They'll gonna stay inside this city. Those people can attack them anytime...
Rathod : there's another problem, Saakshi. Aisha and Liza are order bounded, but she's not. She is an uber-curious cat, and if we keep her away from this case, she'll start her own private investigation, that too without informing us...
Kabir : Kya?!
Arjun : She's an ex-crime investigation journalist...you shouldn't expect she will sit idle...
Kabir : then keep them occupied inside the office...& arrange some security escort for them.
Arjun : it's a good idea...but we should tell them, they could be prepared for the attack then...
Rathod : Yahan ek problem hain, girls ki extra securities ke liye commissioner ki permission chahiye...
Kabir : But we can't inform them...
Rathod : (thought something) I think I can do something...come.
*************************
In conference room.
Saakshi was confused about the sudden gloominess into her friends face. They neither were answering her properly nor looking at her. She was trying to pull out some word from them but they just glued their mouths and passing glances to everywhere except Saakshi's.
Aisha, Liza and Chotu were having big time to hide the real cause of Sameer's outburst on them. He caught them red handed when they were digging about Saakshi. Now Saakshi was probing for the cause of Sameer's outburst, but they couldn't tell her original cause of Sameer's anger. They were looking at each other, if anyone can divert Saakshi's mind to elsewhere.
Finally their prayer was listened, when ACPs entered the conference room.
Rathod : Ok, we have to be very careful about this case guys. Any type of leakage is not tolerable in this case. In addition, my sources has informed about a possible attack on us as Kabir's cover is blown up (Kabir's eyes became wide in amusement "Waah chief!!! Nice going!!")...so Saakshi, I've decide that, you are going back to Anandlok tonight.
Saakshi : (surprised)What! No way!! I'm comfortable in my apartment...by the ay, who are you to decide about me?
Rathod : I didn't finished yet, Saakshi...Aisha& liza, you are going to stay with her. And girls, Shree, Rawte or I gonna pick you up at morning and drop you home after office. Don't go anywhere alone. Got it?
All nodded. And Saakshi stormed off immediately.
Rathod : Chotu, drop Aisha and Liza to their home. (to girls) go and pack your bags, you are shifting tonight.
Aisha : Sir..woh...
Rathod : No arguments, Aisha. And another thing, don't poke you nose into the personal life of other people, especially the residents of Anandlok. And one more thing...I'm sending some extra security for all...you'll be the in charge. I'll brief you later. Now go.
Aisha : Sir...but..
Rathod : Aisha! I think my order is clear to you.
Aisha : (with long face) Yes sir.
This time Rathod stormed off the room, he was going to talk to Saakshi.
***************************
ETF Terrace.
Saakshi was standing near the railing and fuming in anger; she picked up her phone to make a call, a voice stopped her.
Rathod : He didn't asked me to do this...actually he doesn't know about it.
Saakshi : why, Sameer? You know everything!
Rathod : Yes I know, but you both need each other. You are everything to him Saakshi. He is worried about you...
Saakshi : Is it safe now?
Rathod : For now...Yes it is, and it's safe for all of us. We need a safe house for Aisha and Liza.(Saakshi looked at him quizzically)Saakshi, after whatever those people did to Ruhi... I can't risk all of you for this case...
Saakshi : Risk? What happened?(she raised an eyebrow)
Rathod : They've sent us a threat...& we couldn't contact to higher authorities for extra protection...they'll transfer this case...
Saakshi : (smiled) that was fast! (Rathod frowned) Ok...I'll go..but just for this case. (she turned to go)And Sameer, if I found that Old Hag behind this, I won't spare you. You Got that?
Rathod nodded positively with a nervous smile and called her back.
Rathod : Saakshi, don't tell others about this threat call..(Saakshi frowned) not now, I'll tell everyone later.
Saakshi shrugged and went away. Rathod followed her when Arjun stopped him in the staircase.
Arjun : (hissed) You told her, Rathod!
Rathod : You don't know what I know Rawte... you better stay away from it.
