Chapter 7
He was about to say something when the door opened and Arjun entered the room.
"Here you go, darlin'!" He said and threw a watch on her lap.
"Thanks Arjun." She replied with a smile and walked towards Shlok. She unlocked his cell and took his wrist then fasten the watch on his wrist.
"What is this?" Shlok asked while inspecting the watch.
"It is track watch, by this we can track you, hear you, almost like a stalker, this is specialized watch for prisoners, i hate to use this on you but can't help it. One more thing, this watch has network range and that is within this island."
"If I ever went out of the range you won't be able to track me?" He asked with a smirk.
"That is true because the prisoner himself won't be alive, the watch will explode ten minutes after he went out of the range."
Shlok widened his eyes in shock, he said worriedly "What if by chance I went out of the range without me knowing?"
"Don't worry the range goes few meters beyond the island, just keep yourself on land, don't go in the sea besides it will give alarms to let you know you're out of range."
"What if I remove it?"
"You can't it has a code. It's stuck to you like a part of the body."
"Damn genius work, I must say."
"You can thank Swati and Veer for that." She replied proudly.
"This bed will be yours for a while, until the new prisoner is gone from this cell." She said while pointing at the bed behind her.
"New prisoner?"
"Yes. It's someone you don't know. You'll be out this evening." She said and turned to leave.
"Why not now?"
"Because I want no trouble until I leave." She said and locked his cell.
"Arjun take these weapons to Abhay, tell him we have no use of these. Father and Avi will be leaving soon, so I'll be goin---."
"No need, we're here." Prabhakar said, interrupting her as he entered the room.
Shlok looked at the new entrant, so he is the man who adopted her, he might be in his mid fifties, he does have familiar features like Aditi, and he had an impressive personality.
"I was coming, Father."
"So what if I came." He replied.
"Where's Avi?"
"You asked him not to come here, he's waiting outside."
"I'll go to him." She said and went out.
"I'll come too, baby." Arjun said and followed her.
Prabhakar casted his eyes on Shlok and smiled while Shlok gave him a curious look.
"Why have you not once tried to escape?" Prabhakar asked.
Shlok frowned, he never expected that question, "Why are you asking?"
"Just curious."
He is her father albeit adoptive, he is her guardian, can he tell him the truth, the real reason why he won't escape, he can because she will listen to him, he may make her understand.
"Because I'm waiting."
"Waiting?"
"For Astha to explain everything. Even if I have complete faith in my father, I have belief in Astha that she won't harm anyone without any reason, even though she claim to do so. I won't get my answers if I escape from here, I want to know why is she doing this and why she thinks my father is bad, what is she doing here, I want to know everything about her and her family."
"And if you know everything, what will you do then?"
"I can't say anything, my decision will depend on what I've heard."
"I see."
"You know everything about her?"
"I do, she told me everything nine years ago but don't expect me to tell you because it's not my right to reveal something which is not mine. If she doesn't want, I can't help you, young man."
"Nine years ago? What about four more years?"
"That is the time she never want to reveal to you."
"How am I able learn anything if she won't tell me? Does she think I won't trust her? Why is she hiding everything from me?"
"For your own sake."
"For my sake? How?" He asked.
"Good bye, Shlok. Pleasure meeting you." He said and turned to leave "one more thing young man, if you truly love her and wish to be with her,then show her, she is worthy of your love because that is what keeping her from you." He added and left the room.

"Where's your boss?" The man gritted out. His hands were tied behind, the pain in his leg, where the dagger was thrown to incapacitate him was intolerable, his jeans was oozing with his own blood, his state was pitiful, he doesn't know why they held him. He was here for the drug deal, the deal was going splendid between him and his party, as soon as the exchange happened, they were ambushed by the Blackhawk gang. All of them were beaten and defeated, not one was able to escape they were tied by the Blackhawk gang, six people dressed in black clothes, their face covered with balaclava caps, only eyes were revealed to him. According to the rumours, their boss is the one with gold eyes like a hawk, sharp and cold, he is always dressed in black clothes with balaclava cap, which was why he was named as Blackhawk. This is the group who had gained notorious reputation in the underworld since last six years, the one whom every crime organization wants as his alley, there's not a work they failed to complete, even as dangerous as it is, they are able to complete them. No one knows who they are, where they came from, how they look, where they live or anything about them, they are like people living in shadows, they can reveal themselves to you without you knowing their identity.
"I'm right here." He heard someone say from his behind.
He looked back and found their boss leaning against the pillar, his arms crossed against his chest, his posture relaxed and cool.
"What is the meaning of this, Blackhawk?" He asked.
"You are in no position to question me, shut your mouth." Astha replied calmly.
"Don't get cocky, bas***d! I--Ahh!" He cut off when he felt sudden pressure on the wound of his leg.
"Who're you calling bas***d?" Arjun asked in a chilling voice.
"It hurts! Damn it!"
"Then don't open your bleeding mouth!" Abhay snarled while Arjun removed the pressure.
"Astha! The police is early! They are coming, you have to get out fast!" They heard Veer from their earphone. Each one of them are connected with their earphones, able to communicate with each other, even at the same time.
"You get out too, the work here is finish. We are taking the one we want. Make sure you have Jyoti---" Astha started.
"Freeze! It's police!" They heard another feeble voice from the earphone.
"Who got caught?" Ankush asked.
"I said don't move!" They heard again.
"I ain't moving asshole!" Jyoti grumbled but then whispered "I'm sorry, Master".
"Don't worry. I'm coming. You two take him with you, we'll come after you." Astha ordered as he pointed the finger at the man.
"Why me? Where are you taking me?" He asked in panic as both Arjun and Abhay lifted him from the floor and took him away from the group.

"That is called backstabbing, Inspector Karan." Astha said as she revealed herself from the shadows. She glanced at the police jeepney, there were only few police along with inspector, for about only six of them.
Karan showed a cocky grin and replied "Can't help myself, I knew you will come to take your men, Blackhawk."
"I surrender many criminals to you yet you show no mercy to me and my men."
"I have no interest in underlings when all I want is the masterminds and you never surrender the mastermind, I know you know the masterplayer yet you never lead the police to them. I will do my best and even give you protection, just be my witness."
"Protection? The police never protected me when I needed them, instead they betrayed me. Justice, Protection, Truth are all laughable things in the books of law, they are merely written in the books to show people that the law has outmost power but in reality money has the outmost power. Don't make me laugh, Inspector."
"I don't know what happened to you in the past but don't make fun of the law or the real police because they give up their life to protect the citizens from criminals. I'm ashamed too from the corrupted police and law but not all are corrupted."
"Astha, we located her, you may start now." Astha heard Veer from her earphone.
"Good bye, Inspector." Astha said as a bomb blasted and smoke started to engulf the area.
Karan coughed harder and tried to keep his blurry eyes open so we won't lose his sight on Blackhawk.
"Don't let them take the prisoner!" he shouted his order.
"Ahhh!! Damn it!" He heard one of his men cursing.
"They ran away!" He heard another in panic.
"Damn! I lost them again!" Karan mumbled to himself.
