Few hours before

"Sanjana kaha hai?" Kapoor asked the minute Zuber came into view...

"Naha rahi hai... usse bulavun?" Zuber asked

"Nahi... in fact I wanted to ask... kya Verma ne shuru kar diya Rawte ko madat karne main ?" Kappy asked while stirring the water in the glass...

"Haan Kapoor ... par humare zehen pe ye baat nahi aa raha hai... aap sab kuch Verma ko seedhe seedhe kyun nahi batate? Isme toh waqt bhi zaaya ho raha hai... aur hum dekh rahe hai ki aap kitne baar ro chuke hai Verma ki jab bhi baat hoti hai!" Zuber countered

"Zuber... Verma's gussa nahi hai cause I am a double agent... sach main I am not that either... waqt zaaya nahi ho raha hai... when Verma will get on the same track - being more efficient than me... we will be back together... woh gussa hai for the reason that I could die..." Kapoor gave a little sad smile...

"Anyways.." Kapoor got up and sighed "I guess it's time Liza is sent to Rawte..."

"Aapko kaise pata that Verma ne inform ya signal diya hai to him about Liza?" Zuber asked puzzled...

"Nahi - par I know ki kaunse steps Verma would take... toh by now... Rawte should be searching for Liza.. chalo bye!" Kapoor said and walked off...

"Khuda hafiz!" Zuber replied...

While he walked to the other side he was shocked for half a second as he bumped with someone...

Present

"What? Sakshi ko toh Home Ministry ne bheja tha! Yeh kaise ho sakta hai!" Arjun gritted his teeth looking at the details...

"Fine Karan.. mere paas ek idea hai... yeh kuch teen chaar jagah hai that we should check... ek hai main khud Home Minister se baat karoonga.. aur DIG se bhi... tu Sakshi ke picture leke check with all orthopedic specialists about a metallic heel repair surgery..." Arjun ordered...

"Oye Shera... metal leg se kya hoga?" Karan asked...

"Tujhe baat agar ab hi samaj aata Karan... toh tera naam Arjun Rawte hota!" Simran told.

"Simmi - tujhe toh Arjun JI ke praises ke elave kuch dikhta hai ya nahi?" Karan snapped at her.

"Yeah - ek toh baat hai ki Arjun will tell us jab zaroorat pade... and moreover.. films main hamesha dikhaate hai... agar kisiki present jalebi ki tarha ho... toh you have to travel to the person's past to understand..." Simran told...

"Exactly Simran... waise I feel ki iss postmortem reports main kuch fishy lag raha hai... Liza ko exactly pata hoga kya..." Arjun thought...

Simran suddenly got a call and passed it to Karan... Karan's eyes were widened in shock...

"Kya hua?" Arjun asked by looking at their shocked faces...

"Bey Shera... Liza ka ghar udd chuka hai..." Karan said...

"KYA?!?!" Arjun was dumbstruck... then slowly a thought seeped in his head...

"Kab?" he asked slowly to Karan...

Karan quickly called back to the informer...

"Yaar.. 8th December... arrey yeh toh wohi din hai..."

"Jab baaki ki ETF bhi udd gaye the..." Arjun frowned...

"Sh*t!" He swore and banged the table...

"Iska matlab Karan - mera shaq sahi hai... ke drugs shipment nahi - balki humain maarna was the main plan!" Arjun growled...

"Wait.. Sam aur Shree have not responded since a week... kahi?" Arjun's eyes widened in shock...

"Shera... rukh main kuch sochta hoo... sun tu DIG se baat karega na... ussi se poochle!" Karan suggested...

"Hmm... good idea Karan..." Arjun said and went up to his room when he got a message...

"Bad idea... just ask how are all the ETF branches doing - under ANY circumstances don't mention anyone's name - unless you want them DEAD... ab yeh baat samjhe ya... - well wisher ;)"

Arjun's eyebrows knitted together as he read that... he immediately called that number to find that out...

"Shoot! Yeh number to switched off aa raha hai!" Arjun cursed..

He immediately went down and ran up to Anjali... "Anjali.. yeh number trace kar sakti ho?"

Seeing his tensed face Anjali didn't ask for her daily bribe but just instantly started working on it...

"Yaar Shera baat kya hai?" Karan asked.

"Karan... yeh reports mujhe kisine diye hai.. aur abhi mujhe kuch message hi laga... kuch der pehle maine kisi se takraya... I have a strong feeling ki yeh ek hi insaan hai... well wisher kehta hai apne aap ko..." Arjun explained to Karan...

"Par Shera - tujhe madat karke uss ka kya fayda?" Karan asked...

"Wohi toh pata lagaana hai Karan..." Arjun grumbled when he saw Anjali typing her keyboard furiously...

"Anjali kya hua?" Arjun asked...

"Mr. Arjun... computer suddenly hack ho chuka hai... aur pata nahi kya... virus bhi nahi kyunki yeh toh Trojan se bhi aur khatarnak hai!" Anjali said worried...

"Kya?" Arjun asked...

"Trojan?" Karan asked puzzled

"Trojan ek type ka virus hai jo tere computer ke saare details chura sakte hai - computer ka cancer hi maan sakte ho isse! Par yeh samaj nahi aa raha hai ki yeh ho kya raha hai mere saath!" Anjali complained...

Arjun looked carefully at the screen... the blurred screen and the codings that were popping out suddenly...

"Anjali - mujhe nahi lagta yeh koi aam virus hai..." Arjun said...

"Hmm... mujhe bhi yahi lagta hai - matlab... koi insaan isse abhi hack kar raha hai!" Anjali said shocked...

"Anjali... shut this laptop... abhi ke abhi..." Arjun muttered.. then he asked "Yeh kab hua?"

"Jab maine number input kiya to trace..." she started..

She was interrupted by a message on Karan's phone...

"Tere Shera ko bata to not find me - iss baar toh sirf laptop hack kiya hai... and I am a well wisher - if not toh abhi ke abhi tum chaaron ki laashein hoti... live demo ke liye switch on the fan key... but stay 10 m away from the fan! - well wisher" Karan read out the message and looked at a pensive Arjun...

"Fan on kar..." Arjun asked...

"Abbey paagal hai - marr jayenge hum chaar yaar!" Karan argued...

"Marna hota toh yeh insaan kab ko hume upar pohochata - yeh koi aam insaan nahi hai..." Arjun informed...

"Tujhe toh ab waise hi marne ka shauq hoga - Sakshi toh waisi bhi intezaar main hai! Araam se usse kissi maar - mere toh ab tak bachche bhi nahi hue!" Karan grumbled while switching on the fan...

"Karan... tera shadi hui kaha jo bachche ke baare main soch raha hai!" Arjun quipped while moving to the side... Karan made a face at him...

The minute Karan touched the fan switch the fan crashed down ...

Someone else too was watching the happenings... eyes were widened with shock seeing Arjun's position - where he was standing... without further ado the person ran into the other side... without thinking of the consequences..

Arjun was standing next to the landline, the minute he heard the crash of the fan he closed his eyes thanks to the immense dust spread and ducked down but he suddenly felt being pulled to another corner... he tried to open his eyes but found his vision blocked... he tried to fight back but damn! this person was stronger than expected... Arjun's eyes were covered with a black cloth... he managed to punch as he landed on the floor with the intruder... when he felt his fingers dig into a bare, warm, soft tummy... his muscular chest crush against a soft feminine one... and a faint groan escaped from her mouth... it was her!

She struggled to move away but he tried to catch her tighter... he had to know this female... his every nerve throbbed of knowing her... his one hand literally clutched her waist while the other tried to control her attacking hands... then she kicked right on his shin bone and most probably ran away...

Arjun immediately opened his blindfold to see no one... and to notice the landline burst next to him... did she just help him?

He crashed back to reality the minute he heard an ear piercing scream..

Simran had screamed... Karan immediately pulled her towards him while she hugged him tight... for a few minutes none of them reacted... they were just stuck in an eye-lock... for them the winds blew in... he slowly removed the strands of the hair disturbing her...

Tujhe dekha toh yeh jana sanam

Pyar hota hai divana sanam...

Tujhe dekha toh yeh jana sanam

Pyar hota hai divana sanam

Abb yaha se kaha jaye ham

Teree baho me mar jaye ham

"Karan sun... tera phoneEAAA" Arjun started and put his hand behind to get his phone but all he got was his hand in the cutting chai...

He turned behind to find a dreamy Simran and lost Karan looking at each other... Arjun shook his head...

Suddenly a message beeped on Arjun's phone "Rawte... ab samjhe ya? Btw 15,000 transferred to your bank account... fan theek kar lo. - W2"

Arjun frowned... the person was here... keeping a watch on them... but.. was he good or bad? And he seems to be hyper intelligent... cause he knows every move of Arjun... kaun hai yeh... and the way he called Arjun.. as Rawte... Arjun removed his notebook and wrote down a few more things...

1. Yeh insaan hum peh nazar rakh raha hai... 24 x 7... par agar mera madat kar raha hai.. toh mujhpe bharosa kyun nahi...mere upar monitor kyun kar raha hai... aur yeh monitor kam in fact he's leading me to the lines of his thinking... aur yeh toh bohot talented banda lagta hai - meri madat ki kya zaroorat par sakti hai...

1. Liza... (his heart pained as he thought about her death - tears were long dried up) iss bechari ko kyun marna tha... yeh toh kisi bhi kisam ka threat nahi pose kar sakti thi... wait... iske ghar... maine toh Sakshi se kaha tha to inform Liza to be at home... tab raat ke 2 baj rahe the... humare team ke elaava kisi ko bhi pata nahi tha ki Liza nahi aani waali... so how come that someone planted a bomb in her house? Matlab someone kept a tab on us... kaun... aur iska matlab ke kahi woh humaare team ka hissa toh nahi?

1. Why has Sakshi's name been removed from ETF? Mujhe toh Home Minister aur DIG se toh poochna chahiye... whoever this damned well wisher is... usne mana kyun kiya? Yeh kaisa aadmi hai - khatre se bachata hain phir khatre main khud daalta hai... kuch toh choot raha hai...

1. And what's the guarantee ki usne mujhe full report di hai... ho sakta hai ki poora report ab ETF ressearch desk main hai... the funny thing being that now I would have to steal it...

1. Rawte... aise surnames se pukarne waale usually services main kaam karte hai... it's impossible to guess ki kaun ho sakta hai... but koi military ya service ke background se mujhe kyun madat karega? Mere main zaroor koi link hai jo main khud nahi samaj paa raha hoon...

1. She... the person whom I crashed with.. that girl was Sakshi... her scent... her figure... her warmth... main bhool nahi sakta... par iske defensive techniques aur strength - yeh toh Sakshi se match bilkul nahi karte... yeh toh koi trained insaan hai... but one ek shootout main when I fell on her... I got the same feeling today - kahi woh zinda toh nahi... I have to check the report.. Sak...

He could not complete as he found tears near his eyes... blurring his vision.. his Sakshi was alive... he felt her... nothing could ever steal the senses he felt when he was with her... he had to find her alive... the answers lay in one place...
