Arjun was sitting inside the conference room again going through the files, shree had extracted from the chip. A pen rotating between his fingers and with a quarter filled glass of cutting chai, Arjun was again back to proving some of his innovative discoveries.
He was disturbed by one of Shree's subordinates, who brought him the sketch of Natya, as was made by Chauhan's manager, Jagdish. Arjun took the picture and pasted it on the fact board. Again sitting back on his giant chair, he turned towards the board. Now he was immersed in the picture with his pen again rotating back between his fingers.
The picture showed a sketch of a face with gelled and back brushed hair, frameless specs covering the narrow eyes and a large nose. There was a long wound mark from the left side of the forehead to the left ear lobe. The lips are covered with a French beard and a pretty long moustache. There is a tiny mole at the middle of the chin.
Arjun leaned himself in the front and bend his neck at the side, looking closely at the picture with a deep frown. The fingers had stopped rotating the pen but they held it tight in his palm.
That was how Rathore found him when he came inside the Conference room, followed by the rest of the team except Ayesha. Sakshi was back from her leave and had engrossed herself again into the case proceedings.
Rathore had brought in a file from the Bomb Quad department which they had forwarded him few minutes back. He had had a discussion with them for some last one and a half hours, and according to them and his frustrated face, the news wasn't anywhere good.
Rathore dragged his chair and sat on it, shifting himself uncomfortably. All others took their seats gaining attention from their other senior. Arjun was out of his trance when Rathore sat on his chair pushing it with his weight, making a weird sound.
He looked at the others, they seemed quite scared at the sudden tension that was brewing up in the room. Arjun knew something was real serious and gave Rathore the time to compose himself before they get into the details again. But Rathore seemed restless and tensed. He needed some more time to frame his words and the materials to be briefed. Arjun did understand that and took over.
Arjun stood up and pointed his pen to the picture on the fact board,
'Natya, that's the sketch made by jagdish,' he stated, gaining attention from the others in the room, even rathore.
A silence followed. Sakshi stood up and moved towards the fact board. She went close to it, and started examining. She was deep in thoughts missing the irritated gaze Arjun gave her, standing beside. Arjun left her with the fact board and walked back to his chair,
'Sameer ye aadmi, iska naak, maine kahi..' she started stating thoughtfully but couldn't complete as arjun straighten cutting her short,
'dekha hai, right sakshi?' he asked him raising his brow at her,
'haan, tumhe bhi laga ? dekha arjun, hum ek jaise sochte hai, mein bhi kuch kam nehi, samjhe ya samjhau?' sakshi started her kidding game, getting disgusted looks from arjun, while Sameer glared at her,
'Sakshi!!' he called her in a stern tone and looked at Arjun, Kaha dekha hai tumne isse rawte?'
'yahi office mein,' Arjun again replied confusing others more,
'Rawte, apni peheliye apne paas rakho, batao kaha hai ye?' rathore asked him, crossing his limit of irritation,
'bata ta hu, shree can you edit this picture?' he asked,
'Yes sir, let me scan it,' shree said and started his work,
A moment of silence while all waited for shree. Shree again showed the picture on the big screen, this time with the editor on it. Shree looked at Arjun for instructions and Arjun promptly instructed,
'first mess up the hair, remove the beard, the wound mark and the specs,' arjun instructed.
For a couple of minutes the whole room was filled with the sound of keys getting typed vigorously and sakshi, tapping her fingers on the fact board, whispering softly, ye to...'
A few minutes later everyone of them was on their feet gaping at the projected screen, where was the face they had seen several times in the last few months.
'cutting chai wala?' sakshi muttered loudly, while others looked at arjun and then the screen, unbelievable,
'Haan wahi hai, jo har roz meri chai lata hai, aur jiske hath me wo tattoo hai,' arjun confirmed looking at Rathore, who was looking at him shocked.
Rathore instantly ordered Chotu to get him from the shop and bring him for interrogation, but Arjun stopped him.
'Rathore hume sushma tak pohuch na hai, aur natya shayd humara aakri zariya hai, we cant lose him, chotu tumhara ek aadmi uske piche hai na? usse kaho, uske har pal ki khabar de,' Arjun instructed chotu,
'Sir, he is following him from the yesterday, and according to him, natya remains in the shop all day, leaves in the night and goes to a slum hut, where he stays all night alone, regularly yahi routine follow karta hai, he had asked about him,' Chotu informed,
'leke aao usse, we don't have much time,' rathore barked but again Arjun stopped him,
'nehi chotu, uspe nazar rakho, usse shaq nehi hona chahiye, wo sushma se zaroor milega, meri gut feel kabhi galat nehi hoti,' he told him,
'Dammit rawte, tum aur tumhari gut feel, hum bohot difficult case pe hai rawte, isme hum tumhare gut feel pe bharosa nehi kar sakte, natya ko interrogate karna hi hoga,' he glared at him,
'yakeen rakho rathore, hume sushma bohot jald mil jayegi,' arjun tried to convince,
'tumhare gut feel pe yakeen? mein dubara ye galti nehi karunga rawte,' Rathore muttered gritting his teeth,
Arjun looked at him. His eyes met with Rathore's. They held accusations, guilt, remorse and a helpless feel. Rathore had a disgusted look plastered on his face. Everything seemed to have stopped inside the conference room. Others looked at each other scared and confused. Chotu was standing near the door, confused which order to act upon.
Finally Sakshi broke the silence.
'Sameer tum..?' She asked, alternating her looks between the two hot heads, who were now looking away.
Arjun sat facing his back to others while Rathore caressed his moustache, trying to calm himself down, leaning on the table supporting on his palms. Chotu looked at Shree and sakshi for help, and they seemed to enjoy his confused state. Finally sakshi called out to him, since the seniors seemed to have forgotten him completely.
'Chotu waha kya kar rahe ho? Jao natya ko pakad ke leke aao,' she said giving a mischievous smile to arjun, who glared at her,
'chotu rehene do,' Rathore spoke up before Arjun could even open his mouth.
Chotu finally took his seat beside shree and tugged at him,
'deva, in dono se to sushma achi hai,' chotu whispered making a weird scared face.
Sakshi and shree chuckled gaining heated glares from rathore.
*************
'Ayesha kaha hai?' Rathore asked and looked around,
'Sir, wo usse kuch kam tha, wo bahar gayi hai, shayad kisi informer se milne..' shree replied looking at sakshi, who shrugged her shoulders promptly, giving a meaningful nod.
Rathore had just passed on the file to everyone and had stood up to brief about it, when he noticed that Ayesha was missing from all their earlier discussions. After getting it clarified from Shree finally he started briefing.
The file was from the bomb squad department. They had analyzed the bomb design and according to them the design was new and tricky. Though it seemed a nuclear blast, but the bombs worked on a different mechanics and it wasn't quite known to them. They are working on it and trying to find a way to diffuse it. Sameer gave out the details he had gathered from them.
'According to the design, there would be few bombs placed around the city with one central master bomb. The master bomb would coordinate the blasting and diffusing of the other bombs.'
'matlab?' sakshi asked him completely confused,
'matlab, agar humne master bomb ko diffuse kar liya, without diffusing the other bombs, the other bombs would instantly blasts at the sites. And if we diffuse any other bombs at the sites without touching the master bomb, the master bomb would blast in the next 3 minutes 30 seconds, that's what could be assumed from the design,' Arjun replied looking up from the file,
'to isse diffuse kaise karenge?? Pura sheher tabah ho jayega..' chotu exclaimed, along with a scared sakshi,
'Billa ka design hai sakshi, itni ashani se diffuse nehi kar sakte. Bomb squad is working on it, they would surely find a way,' Ayesha said walking inside the conference room,
'Chotu Billa, kahi se bhi kaise bhi,' rathore spoke up in his calmest self,
Chotu nodded and left. There wasn't much instruction needed. He understood his order and his work.
'Shree the third file?' rathore asked shree,'sir wo abhi tak..almost done sir, a few hours more,' he replied scared feeling his heated gaze upon him.
'Fast shree, zyada time nehi hai humare pass,' rathore retorted back,
Shree nodded and stood up with his laptop but Arjun started speaking and he stopped,
'According to the map, there will be five bombs around the city, but none of them would be the master bomb, uska location pata karna hoga,' Arjun muttered, almost to himself,
'tumhe kaise pata, it isn't the master bomb?' rathore asked,
'rathore look at the marks, they are similar, master bomb ke liye kuch to different rakhenge and it would be placed somewhere near the main spot, which would kill maximum number of people, and also would be easy to hide from our eyes,' Arjun explained,
'Lekin Arjun, unke pass to chip nehi hai, they would have changed the plan, fir humari sari planning mitti mein mil jayegi,' sakshi retorted,
'nehi sakshi, they wouldn't change the complete plan. They are already planning it for a long time. Aur dixit ki batein yaad nehi, he was so sure of the plan. Means he knows everything is already arranged. Aur wo boxes, uss warehouse mein, no they wont change the plan. Moreover they doesn't know we have the chip. So its pretty useless to plot out a plan again, and expensive too,' Ayesha explained gaining a nod from Rathore,
'Right rathore, hume in sare jagah o ki security barani paregi, we still don't know the day the blast is going to commence..' arjun replied back,
'mein commissioner sir se baat karta hu,' rathore stood up collecting the papers,
'nehi rathore, commissioner sir ko, in sab ke bare mein batane ki zaroorat nehi hai, there is someone in the department jiske against Sushma is taking her revenge,' Arjun stood up,
'tum kispe shaq kar rahe ho rawte?' he asked him,
'pata nehi..shayad commissioner sir khud, ya aisa koi jise wo protect kar rahe hai?' Arjun replied,
'rawte, commissioner is already aware of the blast and dixit's arrest agar wo involve hote to ab tak dixit chut jata, per aisa kuch nehi hai, he is helping us,'
'Rathore, meri baat suno, we cant leak out these details, abhi koi report maat dena,'
'mujhe mera kam maat sikhao rawte,'
'rathore,'
'stop it rawte,'Sameer marched out of the conference room, picking up the file with him. Arjun frowned. He was getting frustrated again. He too went out banging the door behind him.
************
It was late evening and Arjun was sitting in his cabin looking into a file with all his concentration.
Aisha had come to Arjun's cabin about 20 minutes back and forwarded him a file. He took it glaring at her. Arjun had asked for the file last evening and it was quite late when she finally presented it. She knew it was about to come but at that moment there was more serious thing to take care of.
Aisha went out, leaving Arjun alone with his cutting chai and the new file. From then onwards he was engrossed in it. He picked out some papers and typed on his laptop. It took some time but didn't fetch any data. He banged the table with his fist and made a call. It was to one of Shree's subordinate, neha, and gave her a few instructions.
He kept the phone back and kept the papers back in the file. He finished his last bit of tea and stood up. Looking into the file again he moved out of his cabin.
Within next few seconds Arjun as standing in front of Rathore's cabin. He pushed open the door, head still buried in a file, to find a smiling rathore looking up at him. He threw the file on his desk, indicating to read it. It was the background information and call details, about Ranbir Singh, Aisha had collected.
Sameer picked up the file quietly and flipped through the pages. Arjun was about to drag the chair to sit when he felt someone's presence at his back and something poking him at his waist.
He turned his head towards his back and saw her from the corner of his eyes, pointing her gun at him,
'handsup,' she said with a hard glare,
'ye kaun hai?' he asked, looking at the glaring girl at his back,
'rawte..' rathore looked up alerted and started to speak but he was again cut short,
'Captain SPARK, tum kaun ho?' she asked him narrowing her eyes at him.
