Chapter 8
Roshni (smiles) : "Thank u sir! "
Rathor : "Lekin kuch restrictions hongi and disobeying of orders would not be tolerated."
Roshni : "Matlab? I am sorry sir but I didn't get you..."
Rathor didn't reply to that and just looked at Arjun. Roshni followed his gaze and stopped at Arjun who was constantly staring at her and by his looks she was sure she wasn't allowed just like that. His gaze made her feel uncomfortable and she simply turned her head towards Rathor but he ignored her question and started telling them about a new case.
"Aakash Apartments k ek flat me murder hua hai. Hum logo ko investigation k liye bulaya hai. Let's go!"
Rathor got up from his seat and so the others. But Roshni was not going to let them go so easily without answering her questions.
"But sir aapne bataya nhi ki..."
"Roshni! Tumne office case solve karne k liye join kiya hai ya fir sawaal par sawaal karne k liye..." Arjun gave her a stern look.
Roshni just stood where she was, blinking her eyes, she replied in a low voice, "Maine...of course cases solve kar..."
"Hmm mujhe b yahi laga tha. So, shall we?"
Roshni just nods her head and the team leaves for Aakash Apartments.

Aakash Apartments
The team reaches the apartments and sees some people near a flat.
Rathor : "Hatiye please! Hum log ETF se hai. Hume aage jaane dijiye."
People made way for them and let them go inside where a girl was bitterly crying sitting on a couch.
Rathor : "Tum kaun ho?"
The girl didn't reply and starts crying more bitterly. Rathor steps back and asks Aisha to handle her. Chotu and Shree start searching the place and Arjun was as usual observing everything.
Roshni made that girl drink some water. When she was a bit comfortable, the girls made way for their chief.
Rathor : "Ab batao kya hua hai yaha?"
Mili (sobbing) : "Mera naam Mili hai. Main Nick ki girlfriend hu... Aaj mera birthday hai...Nick aur main hamesha saath me hi celebrate karte the toh isiliye main yaha aa gayi lekin yaha aakar dekha toh... "
Mili ends up crying again. Aisha and Roshni gestures Rathor not to question her now as she seems to be little disturbed. Shree and Chotu come out of the room.
Arjun : "Body kaha hai?"
Chotu (shook his head) : "Sir body toh nhi hai."
Arjun and Rathor look at each other and then at Mili. They had been informed about the murder, victim's girlfriend was sitting here crying and now there was no body. The team was confused.
Arjun : "Madam, I know aap disturbed hai par aap batayengi ki aapne body kaha dekhi thi? "
Mili (sobbing) : "Lekin maine body nhi dekhi."
Rathor : "What? Fir... hum logo ko phone kisne kiya... aur murder kiska hua hai?"
Mili : "Phone to maine hi kiya tha, Nick ka murder hua hai isiliye..."
Rathor : "Aur ye tumhe kaise pata?"
Mili : "Maine khoon dekha tha...bohot saara..."
Rathor and Arjun looked at Shree who told them, "Yes sir! Andar bedroom me khoon hai...but utna saara nhi hai jitna yeh bata rahi hai..."
"Kam ho ya zyada...Mera Nick to mujhe chodh kar chala gaya na!" and she starts crying again.
Rathor was now loosing it. Aisha indicates him that she'll try to handle her and get information from her. Then Arjun and Rathor move to the room.
Rathor : "Agar ye sirf aise hi rone wali hai toh hum logo ko shayad dikkat ho sakti hai."
Chotu : "Yes sir! Pata nhi murder hua b hai ya..."
Shree : "...Hmm ya ho sakta hai ki Nick sirf missing ho..."
Arjun (observing the place) : "Ho sakta hai aur nhi b. Room ki haalat dekhkar toh saaf lagta hai ki kuch to hua hai yaha aur floor par jo khoon gira hua hai... lagta hai Nick ko shayad zakhmi haalat me yaha se le jaya gaya hoga...agar wo zinda hai toh."

ETF Office
Roshni and Aisha were sitting in the conference room.
Roshni : "Aisha! Tumhe kya lagta hai Arjun sir k dimaag me kya chal raha hoga? Pata nhi unhone Rathor sir ko b kya bola ki..."
Aisha : "Tum bewajah tension le rahi ho. Arjun sir acche hai aur jo b decision hoga tumhare acche k liye hi hoga."
Arjun and Rathor enter the room.
Rathor : "Aisha sahi hai. Tumhare liye kya decision liye gaye hai wo tumhe dheere-dheere khud pata chal jayenge. Aur kyuki abhi sab kuch tumhare liye naya hai, I want u to assist Arjun so that u can learn how things work out over here."
Roshni : "Arjun sir! Lekin kyu? Main aapko b toh..."
Arjun : "Rathor! Ise ye b bata do ki orders ko chup chap follow karna hai. Kyu, kisliye jaise questions poochna mana hai..."
Roshni irritated looks at him. She was sure that Arjun must have made all these decision for her but one thing that she was not getting was why Rathor was supporting him in this. Just then Shree enters.
Shree : "Sir ye Nick toh bohot tez khiladhi nikla."
Rathor : "Kya pata chala hai?"
Shree : "Sir, iska poora naam Nikhil Desai hai. Pata chala hai ki kuch 3-4 logo se isne takreeban 10 crore rupye uthaye hai lekin wapas karne k naam par hamesha taal jata tha. Aur ab jab sab uske peeche padhne lage toh..."
Rathor : "...toh wo khud hi gayab ho gaya."
Aisha : "Ho sakta hai khud hi bhaga ho. Ye sab kuch set up kiya aur paisa le kar chup chap gayab ho gaya."
Roshni : "Ya ho sakta hai ki jin logo se paise liye the unhi me se kisi ne kuch..."
Arjun : "Hone ko to kuch b ho sakta hai. Chotu! Pata lagao iss Nick ne jin logo se paise liye the wo iss tarah ka kuch uske sath kar sakte hai ya nhi.."
Chotu : "Sir! Maine already pata lagwa liya hai. Baki teen log to aise hi hai lekin ye aakhiri wala ek chota mota gang ka leader hai. Supari killing me b record hai in logo ka..."
Arjun immediately got up from his seat, lifting the gun in his right hand, "Ok toh main unse mil k aata hu."
Roshni too gets up to leave with him.
"Tum kaha aa rahi ho?"
"Aapk saath!"
"Nhi! Tum nhi aa rahi ho. Waha khatra ho sakta hai."
"Ye kya baat hui? Ye nhi, wo nhi...main kya..."
"Jo bola jaye use chup chap follow karo! Har baat par questions mat put up kiya karo. Ab baitho neeche aur case ki baki proceedings me help karo"
Roshni sits back reluctantly. Rathor stairs at Arjun and moves out with him.
