Chapter 19 :

Sweety Bar, around 10.15pm.

Karan & Arjun were waiting for that driver who'll gonna introduce them to Mangesh.

Karan : Shera, yeh aadmi hume bewkoof toh nahi bana raha hain na??itna time kyun laaga raha hain?

Arjun : Have patience Karan..

They saw that man coming toward them, when he neared, they recognised the driver.

Driver : Sorry sir...thora late ho gaya...come.

He lead them inside the shady, cheap bar. And pointed towards a table. Arjun gestured Karan to talk to that guy sitting in that table. Karan & the driver approached, Arjun choose to stay behind.

Driver : Mangesh!!

Mangesh looked up, surprised.

Mangesh : Dada! Aap! Aap toh yahan kavi nahi aate!! Gudiya kaisi hain?

Driver : thik hain..lekin tum toh meri naukri khatre main daal dia!! Inka (pointed to Karan) garage ko tahas-nahas karr dia!!..aab yeh compensation maang raha hain..aab main aapni malik ko kya bataun??

Mangsh : (to karan) dekho vai..galati ho gaya..woh car kharab hain na..uska break kaam nahi karr raha tha..toh gadbad ho gaya...

Driver : Mana ki Car purani hain..but uski engine aur break bilkul thik hain..20yrs se main uss car ko chala raha hoon...tum mujhe matt sikhao!

Mangsh : Arre main kahan na! car ki break jam ho gaya tha! jaane do na...

Karan : abbe lallu! Kaise jaane doon!!huh!! pura garage reconstruction karna hoga! Tune toh staircase vi tod dia..upar se meri dost..usko kitni chot pounchi maalum hain!!

Mangesh : oh..oh...

Karan : Stammering bandh karo..aur seedhe seedhe jawab do..

Drivr : Aur damage ka paisa vi tum doge...mere malik nahi!!

Mangsh straightened up, he was looking for an opportunity to make off, but sensing his intention, both moved closer, blocking his way. Mangesh looked hither & thither, and suddenly pushed Karan on a waiter passing by. A small scuffle brewed up as karan fell on that waiter, mangesh took the opportunity and ran towards the door.

As he reached the door, a leg sneaked out from a side and made Mangesh fly in the air, at the next instant Mangesh found himself on the ground, out of the bar and a leg on on his back, pushing him against the ground. He tried to get up, and a cold metal touched his ear, and a husky voice spoke up.

Arjun : Don't even try to move...otherwise...I would love to see you brain sprayed over this ground.

Mangesh froze at his place, the voice was enough to make his blood frozen.

Karan and that driver reached there. Karan grabbed Mangesh by his coller and bid by to the Driver. He tied Mangsh's hands and Arjun covered his head with a black cloth and put him inside their jeep, then drove back to the garage.

****************

In garage.

Mangesh was tied up on a chair, a 5 inch metal plate was tied with his right hand. Karan was playing with a lighter. He looks interested to heating that plate more than shuffling the switching button. Mangesh was sweating profusely and moaning, as his mouth was taped.

Arjun : Bass kar Karan! Bohot ho chukka...yeh kuch nahi batayega..better tu petrol le aa..isko deep fry karte hain.

Mangesh's eyes widen in shock and he shook his head vigorously.

Karan : Yeh accha idea hain...main gali ki kutton ko vi dawaat de deta hoon.accha feast hoga...

Mangesh again shook his head and uttered something, which was incomprehensible to Karan-Arjun.

Karan : Nahi nahi.. tujhe aise hi fry nahi karunga...acche se masala marke ...curd, pepper, salt, garam masala marke..1/2hr marinate karke phir fry karunga..

he again lit his lighter holding it near the end of the metal plate. Mangesh again shook his head and this time Arjun pulled up the tape from his mouth.

Mangesh : (screamed in pain)AAAha...nahi..main ...batata...hoon...mujhe matt maro!! Plz...

Arjun : aab shuru karo...why you've tried to kill those girls?

Mangesh : (whimpering in pain)aah..aah...woh...I was paid for it...

Karan : accha! To kill those girls!!

He pulled the metal plate & Mangesh cried in pain.

Mangesh : Nahi...not to kill...the target was the lady...I was paid to injure her...taaki woh thora darr jaye..aur...aur...Anik ki matter se dur rahe...

Arjun : Oh!! So Anik paid for it!!

Mangesh : no...Billah...he paid me...I was coming with my bike...but raste main Dada mil gaya..aur woh yehi aanewala tha..toh main unse car le li..thought nobody can trace me...

Karan was already untied the metal from his hand, now he pulled it up completely. Mangesh cried aloud in pain...a visibly burnt area of his hand revealed.

Mangesh again cried in pain.

Arjun : Billah dikhta kaisa hain??

Mangesh described Billah-well built physique, hard face, a deep scar at the right forehead, snub-nosed, wears a ring in left ear and 2-3 bracelets in both hands.

Karan : Yeh toh wahi...uss din coffee shop main tha Anik ke saath...

Arjun : (To Mangesh)..yeh Billah kaha milga?

Mangesh : wahi..bar main aata hain...aur antique market main vi regular milta hain...he deals with stolen antiques...aur woh Ladka..anik vi usi ke saath zyada time spend karta hain...

Karan : Tu jhoot toh nahi bol raha hain na!!

Mangesh : Nahi..I work for money...& Billah gave me a good amount of money to do this..lekin yeh toh..kuch jyada hi mehenga padd gaya...

Arjun : Aur agar humare bare main kisiko bataya toh aur vi bhari padega...(gestured Karan)..

Karan untied Mangesh and thumped a tube of ointment in his good hand.

Karan : Yeh lagale..aur haan..yaad rakhna..tu humse nahi mila..nahi toh deep fry..samjha na?

Mangesh nodded positively and ran for his life.

**************************************

At night, 3am.

Arjun woke up from his regular nightmare..and looked around..this place is unfamiliar. He looked around.and then he remembered that it's not Karan's garage..Its Di's house. He switched on the bedlamp..and got down from the bed.

He looked at Karan's bed...he was sleeping peacfully. That man amazes him every time he see him. No matter how much he is tensed, how much worried or vexed..he manages to get a sound sleep & he doesn't need that comfort too, to doze off.

Arjun sneaked out of the room, he need a cup of tea right now. he approached to the kitchen when he heard some sounds upstairs. It warned his cop intuition, and he moved slowly to the stairs, gripping his gun.

He found Di' s door open and the light was on. He peeped in and found simran changing Di's fillate.

Arjun : Simran? what are you doing here?

Simran : pani peene ke liye uthi thi..socha ekbar Di ko check karlun..aaya toh dekha... She's burning...toh ruk gayee.

Arjun : Temperature kitna hain?

Simran : 103.5F...In last 1hr I'v sponged her...washed her hair..now applying fillates...aab thora kam lag raha hain...

Arjun : You should've call us...'r yahan 1hr s hoon...llates...k karlun..aaly toh..

Simran : you returned late...so thought I shouldn't disturb you...waise vi doctor ne kahan tha ki fever aa sakta hain...aur itna seva karne ke liye main hi kaafi hoon...(yawned)

Arjun : Haaan...dikh raha hain..jao jaake rest karo..main iske paas baithta hoon..

Simran : tum??

Arjun : Kyun? tumh koi problem hain? Go!

Di stirred up a bit and Simran put a finger on her lips.

Simi : (whispred)Kavi toh deehre daanta karo!! Utt jaygi...

Arjun : (whispered) tum jao...

Simran left. Arjun touched Di's forehead and felt the temperature. He changed the fillate and settled in the chair, facing the sleeping girl. She looked tensed into her slumber. She mumbled something, which Arjun couldn't understand. He leaned closed to her lips to listen whatever she said. But she didn't uttered anything again. He leaned back to his chair, today is the first dawn he gonna miss his regular morning jog at the beach, and he wasn't feeling it wrong at all.

Sound of footsteps broke his trance, he looked at the doorways and found Simran entering with a cup of tea.

Arjun : (in low voice) You didn't sleep?

Simi : I'll...thought I'll make some tea for you...you're staying up for the rest of night na!

Arjun took the cup silently, why some people care for you so much that they understand your unuttered needs!!

**************************************

Rathod just finished his morning round at the beach and settled on the sand, panting. He had a lot of questions in his mind..about his workplace, his collegues and most precisely about the chief. He took out his cell phone and looked at the e-mail ID of their chief...what should he write her? only hello? what should he ask her? When you gonna come back? Would she answer? Do she have that much time to answer an ACP's small greetings who is new in her team? Would she answer his questions? what would he do if he was in her shoes? He would gave his subordinate a heated warning and made him mum...& she would do the same. Moreover, he had to know about devil & sakshi too...and nobody from the bureaus gonna help him. Now he can only count on only one person, Shree.

He looked around, and found something amiss, something was changed in the place, something is here...or something is not. He checked the time, it's almost 6.00, Shree gonna show up anytime.

He again looked around, to find a familiar figure, he scanned the shoreline, on the beach, and finally tried to find some movement near the rocks..but no luck. Arjun Rawte was missed his morning workout today, he wondered why.

He shrugged off the thought of Arjun..but surprisingly, he couldn't. Arjun generally don't miss his morning jog...no matter what..even in the worst weather..he visits this place in the morning...the morning sea is the place he never miss to see.Not even when Roshni was alive. "Is he unwell? Or injured?" his heart asked. But his logical mind scolded him right away for thinking about the man he hates most.

The little scuffle between his heart & mind was interrupted by shree's voice.

Shree : sir!

Rathod : (Turned his had) Shree! Come..

He patted the sand beside him, signaling Shree to sit. Shree settled down, facing Rathod.

Rathod : kuch mila?

Shree : Sir..Saakshi is no more..it's confirmed..that blast..koi nahi bacha...

Rathod : Aur Devil?

Shree : no details of her in official record...Devil is her nic...& she was in I&E...but that team's profile, member's info..everything is restricted...jitna vi old cases hain...mostly solved cases ki reports main kuch kuch information milta hain..mostly about their skills..but vital information is almost nil...wahan se 4 female members ki naam mila hain...Nirja, Natasha,Dishari and Rashmi.Nirja aur Rashmi was in IT, Natasha was in explosives & Dishari was in I&E.But no sign of Devil...

Rathod : Devil was in I&E...

Shree : Toh she could be Dishari...but uss team ki koi information nahi hain..confirm kaise kare?

Rathod : Hmm...aur seasoned members kuch na batane ka kasam khake baitha hain..

Shree : wahi toh..isiliye maine puchna hi chor dia...

Rathod : wahan ki record room main kuch mil sakta hain kya?

Shree : Kahan dekhenge? Fernandez & Veenita...dono ke paas records hain...specially veenita...uski toh kaam hi hain records rakhna.. but I don't think they gonna help.

Rathod : Stores and Archives? Did you ever heard about that place?

Shree : Haan..basement no 2 main hain... but wahan toh hard evidences aur filed reports hain..that too very old ones...database main sab copied hain...aur indexed vi..

Rathod : wahan old members...I mean terminated & passed away members ki belongings vi hain...

Shree : But sir..jo information itni restricted hain..woh wahan se vi toh hathaya gaya hoga na?

Rathod : hmm...iss angle se dekhe toh we have only 2 places...first director's cabin..& second...

Shree : Sir!

Rathod : Nop..I think we should test our luck first in S&A...phir kuch aur sochenge...

*************************

At a little distance from the two men engrossed into their little planning session, a man shook his head frustratedly as he failed to call someone for the umpteenth time. He looked at the rising sun, inhaled deeply and decided something, which is completely against the rule..but now he don't want to care about it today.

***************************

The morning sun disturbed Di's slumber and she tried to block the sunlight by rising her hand, but the shooting pain in her hand made her hiss in pain. Her soft growl made Arjun jump out from his little nap. He sprung up from the chair and leaned over Di, to see what made her growl.

Arjun : You ok?

Di nodded. She was fully awake now. She tried to get up and arjun helped her. He felt her temperature also, the fever was subsided...almost nil.

Di : what are you doing her?I told Simran to prepare the guest room for you...

Arjun : You needed some assistance at night...you had fever...simi was here..I send her to rest at late night...

Di : Hmm..

She tried to get down, but Arjun stopped her.

Di : Fresh hona hain..

Ajun : haan..chalo.

He helped her to washroom. And was about to go inside with her when she spoke up.

Di : aab andar vi aaoge? Main 28 yrs ki hoon Arjun. 28months ka nahi!

Arjun moved back with a red face,embarrased. Di let out a chuckle before closing the door on his face.
