Special Squad Office….

Vishal catching her glance, with a frown said…. 😕

Vishal: (stressing) Madam…..

Dipika just gave a smile of authority and made her way to the interrogation room. 😉

Neha was doing all she could to control her smile in front of him……. 😆

Just then they had reached the interrogation room and Dipika opened the door….. Vishal and Neha followed……..

They go in….. Ajay and Boxer follow……

There was a girl and a lady sitting in the room…. The girl was sitting at the table head, with a lady besides her trying to control her crying…..

Dipika goes towards the girl…..

Dipika: I am really sorry about what happened? 😕 Tum Renuka ho naa?

Girl: (wiping her tears 😭 , nodded) Renuka, (stifling a tear) Renuka Sundar Mehta…….

Vishal: (to the other lady, in a harsh tone) Aur aap?

Other Lady: Main Mrs. Veena Kulkarni…. Renuka ki college professor…. She was not in a state to come here alone so I had to accompany her…..

Vishal starts his interrogation……..

Dipika went to sit back at a chair behind Vishal,she leant back at the chair watching the interrogation…..

Neha sat at the other side of the lady……

Ajay and Boxer were standing behind the girl, facing Vishal and Dipika…….

Vishal: (in a not so soft tone) Aap apne pita ke saath nahi rehti hain…. Hain naa??

Dipika frowned……..

The girl was around 18 years of age….. Her father was the victim, brutally murdered with a cricket bat, skull broken……. 🤢

Renuka: (sniffing) Main hostel me rehti hoon. Engineering college ki first year student hoon…..

Vishal: (in a hard tone, suspicious) Pita ke mauth ki khabar to aapko do din pehle hi mil gayi thi, to aap aaj aa rahi hain. Aap to sirf Pune me rehti hain…. 😈

Renuka: (getting scared at Vishal's hard tone) Vo.. vo… 😭

She started to cry uncontrollably…..

Dipika sat erect in her chair.... From the starting she was not happy with the tone Vishal had started the interrogation….. He was been way too hard….
😒Special Squad Office….. Interrogation Room..........

Dipika: (in a stern voice, close to Vishal's ear) Vishal, please bahaar aao… I need to talk to you…. NOW…..

Vishal just turned his head half way to her and rolled his eyes......

Saying this Dipika got up, went forward and gave the girl a glass of water to drink…..

Dipika: (to the lady) Aap ise (indicating the girl) le jaa sakti hain. She is not in a state to answer anything. Lekin kal phir aana hoga… And… Aapke address dete jayiyegaa…

Professor: Er… I have to return back to Pune today..... Main ise apne maa ke yahaan chod rahi hoon….. She said that she would be coming to Mumbai today……

Dipika: (nodding) Vo address pata hai aapko?

The professor nodded…..

Dipika: Okay... to vo address dete jayiyegaa… (She saw Boxer and indicated towards the lady) Boxer… (Looking back at the lady, she smiled) Thank you….

The professor also smiled and nodded, still trying to control Renuka who was literally choking now, her breath coming in short gasps…..

Vishal was still seated….. Dipika glared at him and went out…..

Vishal followed Dipika with a not so satisfying look or to say with a cool walk, not exactly caring for whatever was coming on…. Ajay, Boxer, Neha looked at each other knowing that there was going to be a blow up…….

Dipika's Cabin…..

Vishal was seated in Aryan's chair…. Dipika was standing sideways, infront of his table, with her hands at the back, looking outside ……

Dipika: (controlling a fury) What is this Vishal? Ye tareeka nahi hai kisi ko question karne kaa!!!!!!

Vishal didn't seem to be bothered with her question…….

Neha saw at her place, that a fax had come and went to check it, her eyes still inside the cabin…….

Ajay and Boxer were standing outside, beside the door looking at the happening inside….

Dipika: (continuing) Dekha nahi you scared the wits out of the girl… She is too young to handle stress like this… Aur to aur vo apne pita ko kho chuki hai…..

Vishal: (giving a short laugh) Huh…. Young???? Crap!!!!!!! Aaj kal ke bacchhe kya kya karte hai, ye to hum jaante hi hain…. And as you said she was stressed out, is condition me she could let slip some vital information…..

Vishal was swiveling in a semi-circle, seated in the seat……

Special Squad Office……..

Dipika: (raising her voice) Never Vishal… Agar aisa hi investigation karna hai to its not required….. If she was a suspect then it would have been agreed, but you don't have any reason to suspect her……

Vishal: (with the same anger in his voice, he sat upright in his chair) Excuse me…. You have no rights to question my way of questioning suspects?

Dipika turned one her heels, to face him…. She glared at him for a long time, with her hands folded…. Vishal returned her glare….. She stood very upright, her full height……..

Dipika: (stressing on the words) If you have to be reminded again…. Bhoolo mat ki I am the Chief of Special Squad… Vo ladki bacchhi hai…. Considerate hone ki zaroorat nahi hai lekin interrogation atleast soft se kar sakte ho….

Vishal: (annoyed at been questioned like this) Vo killer ho sakti hai…. Bees saal ke kareeb hai… Iska matlab ye nahi ki she could not have done this….

Dipika: (with an angry regret) Coulds don't work in murder investigation Vishal… You should know that……..

Vishal: (glaring at her retort) Is umar me to maine kayi terrorist dekhe hain…

Dipika: (now really frustrated) Mr. Vishal Malhotra…. Aap ne CBI ke liye, IB ke liye… Aur kayi special assignments handle kiye honge for the police force….. Lekin ye Special Squad hai…. Un assignments me you had to deal with ruthless people… Terrorists too….. But here….. Yahaan no one is guilty until proven, so apna interrogation aur investigation zaraa clean rakhenge to its better… Warna….

Vishal: (banged his clenched fist at the table and got up, the pen stand falling sideways) Warna kya kar lengi aap? Commissioner se complain karengi…. I don't care…

Saying this he started to got out, opening the door when Dipika called him from behind…. She bent down to pick up the penstand which had fallen down……

Dipika: (in a cool tone, which she knew irritated Vishal very much) Vishal…..

Vishal turned around abruptly…… 😡

Dipika: (continuing, she was arranging the pens in the stand on the table) Aaindaa se bhoolo mat ki ye table kisi aur (stressing here) ka hai…. (looking up at him) And we don't want anything damaged and out of place when the person arrives, so better be careful again, while using this table…… 😉

She gave him a cool smile, with her hands still on the pen stand…... 😊

Vishla stared at her…. How he felt he could give her back, but instead he just turned around and stomped out of the cabin….
😡

Special Squad Office….

Outside seeing Ajay and Boxer he stopped abruptly…..

Vishal: (trying to vent his anger on someone) Yahaan khade khade kya dekh raho ho???? We have an investigation to proceed at the bank, the victim worked, so would you please (it was a sarcastic 'please') kindly follow me…..

Saying this he gave a cold stare towards Dipika, who was still standing by Aryan's table, with folded hands….. She just looked at him with no particular expression on her face. He left to go with a grinning Ajay and Boxer, giving a high five following him…………

Neha had swiveled her chair and seen all that had happened in the cabin… She was surprised!!!!!!!!!

Never had she seen Dipika act like this to anyone….. She also knew that she was just being herself, but that Vishal did need answering back…. He had started to become a pain in the neck, within these three days…..

She remembered the day they came to Special Squad office, two days after they had come to Mumbai……. Last Monday…….




Nine 'o clock…….

Monday…….

Neha entered the office with slow steps…. The place had a strange forbidding feeling…. She made her way to her place automatically……. She casually glanced at Aryan's cabin, saw the empty seat and sighed…. She was just about to turn her glance when she noticed Dipika……

Neha was surprised to see Dipika all ready there…. She was working on her laptop…. Neha remembered that the previous day when they had visited Aryan in the hospital, Dipika had mentioned that she would be at the hospital next day morning to see him, then how come she was early here? Also she had been to the hospital morning herself, but hadn't seen her????????

Keeping her bag at her place, she went to Dipika's cabin……

Dipika sensing the door opening looked up…. Seeing it was Neha, she smiled….

Dipika: Good Morning, Neha…. Baitho…

Neha: (smiling, seated herself) Good morning, Dipika……

Neha was hesitating, not knowing whether she must ask the question….

Dipika: (sensing her hesitation) Kya hua Neha? Kuch poochna hai?

Neha: (seeing that Dipika had herself started the topic answered) Aapne kaha tha ki hospital jaane waali thi, to aap gaye nahi?

Dipika: (smiling) Nahi Neha… main gayi thi. Aur seedha waheen se aa rahi hoon….

Neha: O… Maine socha aap itni jaldi yahaan hain to…

Dipika: Nahi Neha, tumhare aane se kuch pal pehle hi aayi… Tum hospital gayi?

Neha: Haan Dipika. Shayad aapke jaane ke thodi der baad….. Aapko dekha nahi maine…

Dipika nodded…..

Dipika: Ajay, Boxer waheen hain, ya nikal gaye?

Neha: Ajay mere saath hi aaya hai. Neeche gaadi park kar raha hai.

As if on cue, Dipika saw Ajay at Neha's place…….

Neha: (was continuing) Boxer kal raat bar hospital me tha, to usne kaha ghar jaake fresh hoke aayegaa…. Dipika… It was nice of you to give Ajay and Boxer the permission of one hour, to come late…….

Dipika: (smiled) Neha… Aryan ko humare sivay aur koi nahi hai (pausing a bit, her tone too softened) We have to care of him. Isiliye jab tak Aryan theek nahi ho jaata, Ajay yaa Boxer uske saath raat bhar hospital me honge. Constables to hain hi, but then too,…. Aur Commissioner saab bhi maan gaye…. So it's no problem…..

Neha knew that there was more to this than Dipika was telling…. They looked at each other knowingly……. Yesterday been a Sunday, Dipika and Neha were at the hospital… There was nothing much they could do, other than just sit outside the ICU…. But they couldn't be at home also…. They would be restless….. They went home only at night……

Dipika had talked to the Commissioner and obtained permission to get someone of Special Squad to stay behind at night times, and so them coming one hour late to the office next day….. Aryan was wounded when on duty, so the Commissioner had allowed…. Also everyone knew he did have a soft spot for Aryan…. He had come to see Aryan yesterday at the hospital….

Just then Ajay entered the cabin….

Dipika: (It was just like Dipika to get to work) Neha, Ajay…. Anna Kartoos ke shoot out ka case ek hafte me hearing ke liye aa raha hai, so reports taiyaar karnaa….

Ajay groaned at the prospect of report again…… Dipika seeing Ajay's crestfallen face, smiled to herself……

How her team hated reports and paperwork… They had changed a lot since her first arrival in Special Squad, positive and negative… But this thing alone was same to same….

Dipika: (shaking her head, smiling, she said) Ajay karna to padega hi…..

Neha too smiled, nodded and got up…. Then something striking her, she asked Dipika…..

Neha: Dipika… Aryan ka report?

Dipika thought for a while and answered……

Dipika: Main kar deti hoon… I can authorize it….

Neha nodded and went to work…. Ajay followed her grumbling…… How he hated this reports and paperwork….

Ajay: (hurrying to catch up with Neha) Neha… Neha…. Mera bhi report bana do naa….

Neha: (seating herself at her place, turned and glared at him) Ajay… Wahan kya hua, tum jaante ho… Main nahi… Khud ka report agar wahi banaye to hi sahi hoga…

Ajay: (pleading) Hey babes… please…. Ye paperwork, shaper work, sab mere bas ki baat nahi….

Neha: (opening on her laptop, stubborningly said) Nahi Ajay… Mere reports khud kayi pending hai….

Ajay: (in a mock frustration) Hunh… Girl friend…. Itnaa bhi nahi kar sakti ho?

Neha turned and glared at him… Ajay escaped from there not wanting a tiff with her again…..

On the way she heard him say…

Ajay: (to himself) Ye paperwork se chutkara hi nahi milne waala…. Waise Boxer ka chehra dekhne layak hoga, jab vo aayega aur use pata chalega ki "aunty" ne report taiyaar karne ko kaha hai……

Neha chuckled and went back to her work……

The atmosphere was returning to normal again at Special Squad…. Everyone in the office was busy with their paperwork and reports…..

In the evenings without any doubt you could find the whole of Special Squad team outside Aryan's ICU…. Surprisingly nowadays the whole team, Ajay, Boxer, Shotgun and Neha all left the office on time…… No doubt why they did leave on time….

They could only sit outside the ICU and occasionally view through the 'see-through' hole…. But they were content with that….

It was raining heavily nowadays….. Literally Mumbai was being flooded with much casuality, but the Special Squad was on its wake always…….

Now call it fortunate, lucky or misfortune in its tread……….
It was Wednesday morning…….

Dipika entered her cabin, gave a dolefull look towards Aryan's seat…..

She placed her laptop on her table and went towards the idols beside her table, on the shelf……..

She closed her eyes and thought about what the Chief Doctor Mr. D'Souza had said yesterday evening, during her regular visit to the hospital……..

The doctor was checking Aryan's pulse…. Dipika was standing beside his table……

The doctor after checking the pulse he looked up at her anxious face…….

Doctor: (smiling) Dipika nothing to worry…… (He came out with Dipika following him) Aryan has great stamina… He's improving steadily…. His stitch wounds are also healing much faster……. But there's one thing I wanted to clarify……

They had come out and found the whole of the team waiting outside………..

Doctor: (smiled at all of them and gave a wishing nod, continued) Does Aryan take alcohol???

Dipika and the others were surprised, shocked to be more intact….. Alcohol!!!!! Aryan??????!!!!!!!

Dipika: (didn't hesitate to reply) No, not at all uncle…… Aryan ne kabhi bhi us taraf dekha bhi nahi….

Dr. D' Souza on knowing that Dipika was his daughter-in-law Catherine's friend had insisted on her calling him uncle……..

Neha: (acknowledging) Yes, Doctor…In fact he hated people who took them…. He never had any alcoholic substance in his life…

Doctor: (thinking something) Oh…. I see….. Ajay: (worried at the question) Kyun Doctor…. Koi problem??? 😕

Doctor: (immediately assuring them) No, no, no problem… It's just uske pet me ulcer development hai……

Dipika and the others took in the news… Ulcer???????? 😲

Dipika: (knowingly nodded) Uncle… Aryan coffee bahut pita hai, especially black…..

Doctor: (smiling) Ha… So that's the reason…. No wonder…. Too much of coffee khud health ke liye acchha nahi hai and black is more health detoriating……..

Boxer: Lekin doctor iske wajah se..??????

Doctor: (shaking his head) No complications…. It's that ke goli uske pet se bahut close guzari hai… A slight wound in the stomach……

Dipika and the others gasped…. Oh no….!!!!!!! 😕

Doctor: (continuing) But that's not a problem…. It's very slight and can be well treated with medicines….. It's just that we would have to stall that part of the treatment untill the stiches heal and also by that time the ulcer should heal, else the medicine would have no effect……

Dipika: (worried) But uncle…. Complications??????????

Doctor: (smiling, patted Dipika on her shoulders) Maine kaha naa, None at all… He will be perfectly all right (pausing) …….healthy that is, within no time…. Lekin uske hosh aane ke bare me main kuch nahi keh saktaa….. Coma ke patients kab kaise hosh me aate hain ye to medical field ki mystery hai ab tak…. (Smiling again) Okay then… I have to complete my rounds…. Take care…..

Saying this, the doctor left for his rounds…. But the impact of his last statement was hard to sink in them…….

Dipika's opened her eyes and was taking the blessings, when the phone on her table rang….

Dipika went over to her table and took the call…….

Dipika: Special Squad…. Dipika: (becoming alert immediately) Yes sir….

………………..

Dipika: (shocked) What??????

………………

Dipika: (shaking her head unbelievingly) Lekin sir, Aryan nahi hai….

……………..

Dipika: (hurriedly) No sir, (slowly repeating what the Commssioner had said) Aryan (looking at Aryan's seat) hi Special Squad nahi banaata…

……………..

She again concentrated on the conversation…….

Dipika: (sighing slowly) Mera matlab tha ki ek Chief Investigating officer ke binaa, case….

……………….

Dipika: Oh…..

……………….

The Commissioner took longer time like explaining something…..

Dipika: Ji sir…. Pahoonch jayenge…

…………….

Dipika: Assured sir……. Yes sir……

She kept the receiver down…… She looked at Aryan's seat again…….. Her words reverberated in her ears……

"Aryan hi Special Squad nahi banaata!!!!!"……..

She had said those words, but didn't quite or in fact fully didn't agree with it….

She took a paper, wrote down an address…. She went out of the cabin….

Dipika: Neha…

Neha working on her laptop came towards her….. Dipika gave her the paper…….

Dipika: Ajay, Boxer, Shotgun ko bolo ki ek naya case hai……

Neha was stunned…. She took the paper and repeatedly glanced at the paper, at Dipika… Paper, Dipika…. Dipika, Paper…. Paper, Dipika…. Oh.. 😵 Just imagine it yaaron. Kitni glances likhoongi. 😉

Dipika: (seeing her looks) Aise kya dekh rahi ho???? Come on move…….

Neha: (still not coming out of the shock) Dipika… case????!!!!!!!!! 😲

Dipika: (sternly) Haan case…. Neha kya, ho kya gaya hai tumhe?????

Then placing a hand on Neha's shoulder, she said in a softened tone……..

Dipika: Neha main samajh sakti hoon ki what you are thinking…. Lekin tumhe yaad hona chahiye ki jab pichli baar Aryan ek jhoote case ki wajah se Special Squad me nahi tha, tab bhi Special Squad apna duty kar raha tha…..

Neha nodded….

Neha: (then surprised) Lekin mam us waqt Shai(pausing)na ne preside kiya tha investigation team ko, lekin ab?????

Dipika: (sighing) You guys have a new investigating officer presiding….

Just then Ajay, Boxer and Shotgun came there, sensing a serious discussion and heard Dipika's last statement……

Everybody: (literally shouting) Kya???????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dipika got startled at such a unison remark….. She even smiled at their reaction……. 😊

Dipika: (phrasing her words slowly) Ha… haan……

Shotgun: Koun??

Dipika: A Mr. Vishal Malhotra…

The name swam inside the heads of the team…. Vishal Malhotra….. Hmmm….!!!!!!!!!!!

Dipika: (looking around the team standing around her) Okay, so get moving… Vo officer tumhe direct crime scene pe milegaa……

She nodded a questioning nod, eyebrows raised…….

Shotgun: Main apna kit leke aata hoon…

He left…..

Boxer: Main gaadi taiyaar karta hoon….

Neha handed the paper with the address to Boxer….. He took and left……

Ajay: Main driver camera ko taiyaar karta hoon……

On seeing Dipika's questioning glance…..

Ajay: Er…. Zubin…

Saying this he escaped from there to get Zubin…..

Withing five minutes the whole team were leaving Special Squad office, making it a point to pass by Aryan's cabin, giving it a glance…. They gave a nod to Dipika also and left the office…… 😛Dipika saw the team leaving and smiled at them…. She was so proud to be a part of Special Squad…… Special Squad had become a part of her life, near and dear!!!!!

She went into her cabin and Neha followed…. She wasn't quite out of the news that a new Chief Investigating Officer would be joining Special Squad….

Dipika seated herself and noticed Neha, knew she wanted to talk……

Dipika: Baitho Neha….

Neha sits and dives straight into the topic………

Neha: (with indignation 😡 ) Dipika, ye kya hai? Naya Officer?????? Lekin uski kya zaroorat hi????????

Dipika: (She looked strangely at Neha 😳 ) Neha… Special Squad is short of two investigating officers… Shaina ko bhi milake…. Ab ek case aaya hai to Chief Investigator ke hesiyat se kisi ko team ko lead karna chahiye naa?

Neha: Lekin Dipika… Aap hain naa? Special Squad ke chief……. To kya problem hai??????????

Dipika: Neha kya baat hai??? Tum aisa????? Main forensic head hoon, investigating officer nahi….. So obviously head quarters naya officer chune gaa hi….. Commissioner ke orders hain Neha….

Dipika started to work on her laptop…..

Something was still bothering Neha…… She was silent for several minutes, when she spoke up again………

Neha: (very slowly and deliberately she spoke up again) Phir Aryan ka kya ??????????????? 😕

Dipika looked up from her laptop and saw Neha staring at her very forlonly……..

She gave a certain strange stare, thinking that some weirdo was sitting in front of her…. Then smile and a small giggle, before answering………

Dipika: Nehaa….. Kaise bachon ki tarah muh banakar rakhi ho!!!!!! Vo Vishal sirf temporary hai. Aryan ke theek hone tak. He is not replacing Aryan… Understood???????

Neha looked at her and smiled…. 😛 For some minutes she had thought the worse… They all know that Aryan loved his work very much and without it, he would be lost very much…….

Neha: (with a thoughtful look on her face) Waise ye Vishal Malhotra koun hai?
🤔 Dipika, who had resumed working on her laptop, turned it around so Neha aould look in it... The laptop was open on to a photograph of a handsome guy wearing goggles…. 😎

Dipika: Ye hai Vishal Malhotra…. Commissioner saab ne mail se ye photo bhejha hai aur kuch information bhi…..

Neha glanced at the photograph intantly to try to estimate what sort of guy he could be?


Now zoom in on the photograph, with your imagination and then imagine the photograph coming to life, removing its goggles and staring at a house…….

So the camera goes zooming on his eyes, hair, hands which contains the goggles, his neatly polished shoes and then from all the four sides we zoom in on the handsome features of a 33 year old officer……….. 😉



Special Squad officers arrive at the scene of crime…….

They see a posh car standing in the front with a beautiful girl leaning over the door…. Ajay glances at the girl and his eyes lights up at once😆. He whistles softly and the girl turns her head towards him with a high look.

But Boxer grinning drags him over to the house…….

Boxer: Maamu… Casanova baad me… Ab andar chalo… Dekhna hai ki ye naya officer hai kaisa?????? 😃

Reluctantly Ajay follows him…

Inside the team stop short at the door…. They find a tall hunk talking to a woman, looks telling she was the maid.

Sensing people at the back the guy, The Mr. Vishal Malhotra turned around.

Instinctntly the team didn't like him… 😕Something about his looks made them ill-at-ease……..

He gave one glance over all the team members standing at the door. Ajay, Boxer, Shotgun and Zubin…..

Vishal: (with a high tone) Special Squad ke team aakhir aaaaa hi gaye???? Crime scene par hi itne deri se pahoonchte hain, lekin crimes jaldi solve kar dete hai????? What a drap!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😈

Vishal gives a high pitched laughter…… Ajay angrily interrupts saying….. 😡Ajay: Hello, excuse me……. 😡 Ye poochne waale tum koun hote hain? Special Squad kaise kaam karta hai, ye tum kya hume sikhaooge????????!!!!

Boxer holds him back, with his arm.

Boxer: (In a warning, low tone) Maamu……

Vishal's face expression changed. He came closer to Ajay and loomed over him saying……..

Vishal: (with a stern smile, but a harsh tone) Mr.Casanova (Ajay is stunned) Special Squad Chief Investigator se aise baat karte hain... Tsk tsk… Shayad Aryan Khanna ne aapko nahi sikhaya?????? 😈

The whole of the team were surprised and shocked, that this hot head guy was their Chief Investigator???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!! 😲

Also he had mentioned Aryan's name in a strange way…. Whatever was that for??????????

Vishal: (moving back) Aise khade khade kya dekh rahe ho? I don't suppose you don't have to be told that you need to investigate the crime scene….. Tsk…

He turned around them and marched out…….

The team has one last look at his retreating back. They look at each other with a not so liking looks. God… What new trouble was this?????

Then they set to work.

Shotgun was checking the dead body. It was sprawled its full length, face down. A cricket bat lay by its side, broken. The back of the dead body's head was dried with blood. Zubin started to keep the number for photographs and was snapping pictures. Ajay moved around to see if anything around was missing or so. Boxer picked the broken bat pieces. He noticed a wallet lying beside the dead body. He took it and extracted a business card, which told that the guy worked in the HB Bank, as a Manager.

He collected the evidence and went to talk with the maid.

Boxer: Aap, yahan kaam karti hain?

Maid: (with a scared look) Haan sahib.

Boxer: Kya aap bata sakti hain ki aapne kya dekha?

Vishal: (from behind) Usne sab kuch bata diya hai.

Boxer turned around startled. He was surprised as he hadn't heard Vishal coming up behind him. That guy was so stealthy in movements.

Vishal: (continuing) I think she need not repeat anything.

Boxer: (with a confused look) Lekin statement kuch register nahi kiya hai????? 😕

Vishal: (puckering his lips and raised his eyebrows, as if he was surprised 🤪 ) Oh…. So you do know procedures!!!!!!!!! Good……. Aryan ne kuchhhh to sikhaya hai.

Ajay who was going around the house looking for clues, stopped in his tracks at Vishal's sarcastic comments. Shotgun also looked up, and Zubin stopped short of taking the photographs.

Boxer felt very irritated. 😡 What the hell was with this guy??????? Aisa kyun behave kar raha hai?????

And Aryan again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😕

Vishal: Tumhe iski chinta karne ki zaroorat nahi hai. Haseena ne statement le li hai. So aap log yahan se chal sakte hain. (To Shotgun) Aur haan Shubroto, you do know ki body ko autopsy ke liye shift karna hai. Aryan ki tarah main har choti choti cheezon ko nahi kehta.

He turned and left the place.

Shotgun got a flash of Aryan telling him to move the body for autopsy, in some case.

He came back to the present. He knew that Aryan used to tell him to move the body for autopsy, not because Aryan liked to give orders. It was his way of telling everyone that the investigation at the place was over and they had to get back to the office. But how the hell did this guy know about Aryan's habit?????????

Shotgun looked at the other team members. They all looked at each other very puzzled and irritated. Shotgun started to move packing his kit.

The rest of the team also packed up and moved about, when Shotgun stopped short at the house entrance. He saw near the door that there was vomit. He looked towards the car and found the Chief Investigator talking to the girl they had seen standing near the car. Must be that girl he said, Haseena.

He stooped to take a closer look. Boxer came up behind Boxer and seeing what he was looking at, he also sat on his haunches to take a closer look.

Boxer: Ye kiska ho sakta hai???

Shotgun: Pata nahi (taking a sample and putting it in a test tube) Lekin dry hus hai. Itis hardly visible. Uske colors se maine use dekha. Time of death se correlate karta hai.

Boxer: (Looked up surprised) Time of death? Lekin tumne kuch nahi kaha andar?

Shutting his case, Shotgun glanced at Vishal. He saw that Vishal was looking at them weirdly. He stood and started to walk towards the jeep, with Boxer beside him. Ajay joined them, to hear Shotgun saying….

Shotgun: (continuing) Kissse??? Usne to kuch nahi poocha aur kehne ke liye mauka bhi nahi diya.

Boxer nodded knowingly, smoking his pen thoughtfully.

The trio reached Vishal and the girl standing beside his car. Zubin already had gone to the Special Squad jeep.

Vishal: (in a suspicious tone) Wahan kya dekh rahe the????

Shotgun: Er... (Looking at Boxer and answered) Bahar ek concussion dikhayi diya, to sample collect kar raha tha.

Vishal: Mmm…. Concussion??? Aryan ne kuch sikhaya to hai aap logon ko. 😈

Again Aryan??????? What was with this guy, keeps on taunting Aryan!!!!!!! He is not even here!!!!!!!!! 😡

Saying this without another word he went to the driver's side of his car and got in. The girl gave them a smirk and got in the front passenger seat.

Then he was gone.

Gone!!!!!!! That's it!!!!!!! Gone!!!!!!! 😲

What was happening here???????

He didn't ask them anything. No formal introductions. But he seemed to know a lot about them anyways. But something which they did notice was that he kept on taunting Aryan a lot. What was the devil all about????????? 😒

They just gave each other a very, very puzzled glance and got into the jeeps to get back to Special Squad Office.

Whatever it was, they knew the office held the answers.


Special Squad Office…..


Neha was talking over the phone to Ajay, who was describing all that happened at the crime scene.

Neah actually thought he was exaggerating, but very soon she didn't know, that she was to be proved wrong. 🤢

She kept down her phone, when she thought she heard taps of boots over the floor of Special Squad office. She turned around to see the tall frame of The Vishal Malhotra entering the office. Behind him, she noticed a tall elegant woman following him with an air of authority.

The woman was dressed in short mini dress, which brought out her thin frame superbly.😉

Vishal by passed the reception, to go towards the cabin, presumably Aryan's.

Receptionist: (Hurriedly getting up from her place) Excuse me... Excuse me sir… Aap aise seedhe andar nahi jaa sakte!!!! 😕

Vishal just glared at her with dislike written over his face 😡 . Neha instinctly disliked him. His mannerism was not in the least appealing. Also it brought back some memories she brushed aside immediately reserving them for later ponders. She immediately called out...

Neha: (Coming over to the receptionist) Er... Nisha… It's okay. (Looking at Vishal) Ye humare Special Squad ke naye Chief Investigating officer hain.

Vishal looked over at Neha. He didn't respond to anything of her courtesy. He glanced at her and made his way to Aryan's cabin. 🤔

The girl, who followed Vishal behind, looked at Neha with awe in her eyes😲 . She didn't expect such an attractive woman in Special Squad. She thought she would be the one who was going to be so stylish dressed in an environment like this. She decided that she had to be careful about her.

Neha was looking at Vishal's retreating back, with a frown on her face . Then she turned to see that the girl was staring at her. Finding Neha looking at her, the girl immediately followed her boss into the cabin.

Neha with a confused look 😕 , not understanding the duo that just entered the office, decided to follow them, when she heard some sound behind her. She turned to find the rest of the team coming in with the similar puzzled look which she had.

Ajay came towards her and asked in a whisper…..

Ajay: Vo do wacko's aa gaye kya???? 😳

Neha smiling at this wickede comment, silently showed her thumb towards Dipika's cabin. The rest of the team made way to their respective places.

Neha and Ajay went to her place and saw from there what was going on in the cabin. Eventhough they couldn't here their talks, she could atleast assume what was going on.

Vishal opened the cabin and stopped short. He was impressed immediately by her. He found her appearance very formal, elegant. Unexpectedly the mark he never would give any woman. That too holding such a position in such an organisation. He saw Dipika working on her laptop. 😕

But not wanting to show his impression, he directly made way to Aryan's chair and sat down.

Hearing the cabin door open, Dipika looked up.Before she could respond anything, she saw him walking over to Aryan's chair and seating himself. She was shocked at his attitude. But as formalities required, she stood up. With a forced smile she went over to him.

Dipika: Mr. Vishal Malhotra????????!!!!!!!!

Vishal looked up, gave her a look up and down, nodded. He leant back in the chair with fingers crossed, elbows placed over the chair's handles.

Dipika: Main'

She extended her hand,

Vishal: Ms. Dipika Gosh' Forensic Head'

Vishal leaned forward in his chair and shook her hands. Then leant back again.

Dipika was not surprised that Vishal knew about her. Also she assumed he knew more about Special Squad too. After all when she had come to Special Squad, she had also done her home work.

But Vishal was surprised . He expected to see a shock of recognition over Dipika's face that he knew who she was. But he was thoroughly mistaken.

Dipika: (smiling broadly, because she read the shock over Vishal's face 😊 . She knew he expected her to be caught off guard with him knowing her, continued) Absolutely right' Dipika Gosh' Special Sqaud ki forensic head and Chief'.. 👍🏼

Dipika gave a stress on the last word 'Chief'' Vishal's minute presence told her that he was going to be hard to deal with. She had to show her authority, which she had never liked to do, but was forced to under circumstances.

Sensing another presence behind her she turned back and found the girl, who came in with Vishal standing there.

Dipika frowned. The Commssioner had told her that a girl; seemed Vishal's assistant would be accompanying him. She had to be given space in Special Squad office. She was not part of the squad. But Vishal been a special assignment agent, always had her with him for his official duties, which was what the Commissioner had said to her.

Vishal: (Seeing Dipika look at his assistant, said) Ye meri assistant hai'

Dipika: Haseena Iqbal' (Half turning to look at Vishal with a knowing smile, Dipika volunteered) 😉

She extended her hand to the girl. The girl responded with a firm handshake. Vishal just nodded off.

Dipika: (taking a deep breath) Welcome to Special Squad' I think you would like to meet the team??? 😳


Vishal: (Waving his hand dismissively said) Oh... Unhe to main crime scene par hi mil chukaa hoon. Good one. (With an unpleasant tone) So I guess it is not necessary. 😈

Dipika glared at him, but she was not going to give in for his cold tantrums.

Dipika: Oh' (In a 'of-course' sort of voice)Special Squad team ki introductions kisi ko bhi zaroorat nahi padti. They are in their own wake, known very much. Lekin aap (stressing here) ki introduction meri team ko zaroorat hai. You are new here, you see. So Mr. Vishal can I please see you at the conference hall within five minutes. 😎

She gave him a supposingly sweet, but stern smile, turned on her heels and left the cabin.

Vishal sat upright on his chair. The nerve of that woman. 😡 She was the first one ever to talk to him like that. But he decided he was not going to bend around to anyone like that, he was never used to been ordered around. He decided not to attend the meeting. Let's see how she persuades him to go to the conference, they would have to come again searching for him. With this decision taken he leant back over that chair, with a satisfied smile. 😳

Hassena was watching all this silently. She saw her boss's face. He was not happy. But something about the team made her feel different. Something told her that her boss's bossy voice was not going to ring here alone. There are bound to be echoes, which she knew her boss hated.

How right Haseena was!!!!!!!! Time tells a lot and speaks a lot too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😔

Neha was jolted to the present with the phone ringing.


Turning around Neha attended the call. It was Ajay.

Neha: Haan Ajay bolo'.

'''''..

Neha: Ek minute'

Neha fingered the laptop.

Neha: Ye raha. 25, III avenue, Powai, Mumbai. Aap log wahan jaa rahe ho??

'''''

Neha: Theek hai'. Acchha suno Ajay. Shayad tum paanch baje yahan nahi aa sakte, to main khud hospital chali jaati hoon. Tum seedha wahan aa jaana.

'''''.

Neha: Okay' Bye'.

Neha kept down the phone. She gave a casual look around the office. She saw that Shotgun was calling Dipika and they were leaving to the autopsy room.

She saw them till they disappeared into the room and went back to her work.


Autopsy Room''..

Dipika and Shotgun were checking the body of the victim. The intial analysis was over actually, but they were just wrapping up the reports.

Dipika: (Checking reports) Shotgun, confirmed hai ki use peeche se kisi ne zor se maara hai, the skull is shattered. No sign of struggle or any chemicals. The killer seemed to have taken him by surprise from behind.

Shotgun: Haan, aur uske sir se wood ke kuch splinters mile hain, jo us bat se match karta hai, jo crime scene pe mila tha.

Removing her coat Dipika asks'

Dipika: Tumne us bat ka analysis kiya?? Uska make, ya kuch detail pata chala?

Shotgun also removed his coat and together they made their way out of the room.

Shotgun: Abhi nahi, was just going to do.

Dipika nodded and they came to her cabin.

Dipika: To jaldi se vo analysis khatam karo. Vishal may need it for further investigation.

Ho gaya naa!!!!!!!😉 😵

Shotgun frowned and muttered to her in Bengali…….

Shotgun: (in Bengali) Ye kya Dipika??? Vo bahut khadoos hai. Is poore office me wahi hai jo mujhe Subroto kehke bulaata hai. Says he doesn't believes in short names. Huh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dipika smiled.😊 This had now become a routine for her team. Mention Vishal casually and they would go on tantrums, complaining about him. But it was true, he was been very difficult to handle. It was as if he refused to become part of Special Squad.

The whole of Dipika and Shotgun conversation takes place in Bengali….

Dipika: (smiling at his complaint) Shotgun, tumhara naam Subroto hi hai, to usi se bula raha hai. What's wrong with that? 😳

Shtogun: Nai, bas ye ki he is stuobborn. Mujhe aisa kyun lag raha hai ki he is doing this purposefully. Hume taunt karne par ki tula huya hai.

Dipika: (shaking her head) Shayad use tumhe Shotgun, bulaana comfortable na ho? Maybe he's been himself.

Shotgun: Lekin everyone is comfortable. Tum bhi jab nayi aayi thi squad pe, you called me how others do. I felt comfortable with that. Main hundred percent sure hoon ki, he is just trying to make things difficult, deliberately.

Saying this, he went to the lab, to get on with the tests. 😡

Old memories flooded in Dipika's mind. She cast a glance towards the discussion table. She went towards it and stood at the same place, she had stood the first day she came to Special Squad. 😳

She rememberd the surprise she found on their faces, when they found a new addition to their team, unexpectedly.

The team had been reluctant towards her directive especially Shaina and Neha. Aryan was very much self-controlled that time. Shaina was just been herself and she knew that the reason she showed resistance towards her was not professional but personal.

She wondered how her feelings towards Aryan would be now, if Shai had been there???????? ❤️

She sat down in a chair, thinking.

She remembered days when dark clouds loomed over Special Squad. There was a cold war between her and Aryan. How she hated those days!!!!!!!! The matter which had worried her most was that Aryan was becoming way too aggressive again, especially after been demoted. 😭

Demotion!!!!!!!!!!! She thought about it!!!!!!!!!!! That…… was what had done it all!!! 😔

Now about this Vishal, she was at sea, she agreed. As Shotgun had said that when she came to Special Squad, she was not against at them personally, she just wanted them to behave like professionals. And they had not literally shunted her out.

But they shunted out Vishal. Vishal's attitude was very much personal. But what, against whom and why was a mystery. She and her whole team didn't fail to notice, that come what matter, he didn't miss a single chance to taunt Aryan. Now why Aryan of all, who was not even there???? 🤔
Dipika sitting in the chair of the discussion table remembered the day when Vishal arrived first at Special Squad. The first tiff she had with him, when he delayed coming to the conference hall for formal introductions. 😳

Discussion Table…….

All the members of Special Squad were assembled around the table. Dipika was giving them the details.

Dipika: Jaise aap sab log jaante hain ki, Aryan is in hospital. So temporary arrangements ke taur par Headquarters ne ek Chief Investigator ko appoint kiya hai. Name Vishal Malhotra.

She stopped speaking to look around the table. She didn't find him there. So gave a glance towards the cabin door and saw no movements inside.

Dipika: (continuing) Lagta hai busy hain. Well jab tak vo aaye. Vishal ek special offier hain jo Government ke liye special assignments handle karte hain. Officially vo CBI ko represent karte hain. He has handled many cases for the police, CBI and CID, jo bahut hi confidential hai. Recently ek mission me unhone Kashmir ke terrorists ka khatma kiya hai. He is very able, efficient and we can be proud that he will working with us.

It was more than ten minutes and Vishal hadn't arrived. Dipika looked irritated at such negligence. Neha sensing that the mood wasn't right gestured to Ajay. Ajay saw her and nodded understandingly.

Ajay: Er… Shayad Vishal ko yaad na raha ho, main use bula kar laata hoon.

He started to get up when Dipika interrupted…

Dipika: (in a stern voice) 😡Ajay bait jao. Agar use apni introductions deni hai, to vo khud aayega. (To the others) Meeting over. Sab apne apne kaam pe ja sakte hain.

Everyone dispersed. Only Dipika and Neha were still there. Neha wanted to talk to Dipika.

Dipika stood up. She was angry. How could a person in such a repectable position be so negligible. She decided that he would need some tough handling.

Neha came over to her.

Neha: Mam…..

Dipika: (Smiling towards her)😳 Neha… Dipika is fine. Hum yahaan open culture me believe karte hain, so you can too.

Neha was surprised at the request, but smiled her response. 😊

Neha: Dipika…. (her face expression changed to one of disgust) What is with that Vishal? Ek formal introduction ke liye hi to bulaya tha, but he, oh so very ignored it.

Dipika: (Even her expression changed and she stared towards her cabin) Pata nahi Neha. Haan I agree ki uska ajeeb bartaav hai. 😕

She said all what had happened in the cabin.

Neha frowned…. 🤢

Neha: (folding her hands) Bahut hi haughty kisam ka lagta hai. Aise hi office me ghus jaata hai aur ab Aryan ke table par bhi…

Dipika looked at her with raised eyebrows, not understanding about the "office" part…. 🤔

Neha looking at Dipika's questioning gesture described what had happened that day when Vishal first entered the office.

Dipika: (giving a knowing smile 😊 ) Male egoism…. That's what it is. Commissioner saab ne kaha to tha, ki Vishal is short tempered and is a bit tough sort. (Sighing) Dekhte hain… So Neha crime scene pe kya hua? We have a case to solve. 👍🏼

Neha: (Nodding) Ajay ne details nahi diya hai abhi. I'll call him.

Just then Ajay came there, with Boxer…..

Ajay: Banda haazir hai. (Enveloping Neha's shoulders) Aap ne bulayaa aur hum chale aaye. ❤️

Neha: (Shaking off his hands, blushing a little) Ajay…. 😳

After the fight she had had with Ajay regarding his past, Neha had stopped talking to him. But the incidents at Mangeshwadi had brought her closer to Ajay. She forgave him. She understood that he didn't do anything purposefully, he was in an emotional state.

But she had made him promise that he wouldn't cheat her again. Many promises Ajay may have broken to many, but not this one especially to Neha.

Dipika smiled away 😛 . Then turning back……

Dipika: Body shift kar di? Kya case hai? 😳

Boxer: (Reporting) Yes… Body autopsy me hai. Cold blooded murder. Cricket bat se maara hai, peeche se skull pe.

Dipika: Victim koun tha? Aur koi witness?

Smoking his pen, he looked at Ajay 😕 . He knew this question would come and he wasn't sure how he was going to answer that. Ajay just rose his eyebrows and indicated him to break it.

Boxer: Pata nahi.

Dipika: (Shocked) Pata nahi????????!!!!!!!!!! 😡 Boxer hamesha tum hi crime scene par pehle pahoonchte ho. And it is your responsibility to tape out the place and do the initial investigation, to….

Boxer: Lekin aaj nahi, uske hote hue nahi 😒 (Indicating his pen towards Dipika's cabin)

Dipika: (Not knowing what he was saying, frustrated) Boxer… Kya….???!!!! 😲

Ajay: (Interjecting) Dipika…..

Then he described in detail what had happened, from the time they had left Special Squad office, arriving at crime scene, Vishal's taunts, stressing on his taunts about Aryan, then him stopping Boxer from taking the report and everything that followed.

Dipika was pacing at the table's head, taking in every detail. When he came to the part about Vishal's assistant taking down the report, Dipika stopped in her tracks and stared hard fast ahead, at nothing in specific 😡 . Ajay, Boxer and Neha just looked at her, wondering about her reactions.

Well isn't it a known fact that Dipika was strong about rules and regulations. And Vishal had actually gone far with involving some one in the case, who wasn't a part of Special Squad. And this even the other team members wouldn't have approved off. 😕

Dipika resumed her pacing as Ajay continued what had happened, till they left the crime place.

A long silence prevailed after that. The others were careful not to interrupt her. They had never seen her like that. She had assumed the pose of a judge who had suspended judgement. Then they felt her face clear. She had taken a decision.
😳

Dipika: (To Boxer) Boxer, Haseena se report le lena. A..

Boxer: (Confused 😕 ) Haseena?????!!!!!

Dipika: Oh… Maine bataya nahi. Haseena, Haseena Iqbal, Vishal ki assistant hai. Waise ussse yaad aaya. She has to be given a place in the office. (Towards Neha) Neha tumhare paas wala seat empty hai naa, she can be put up there. Tum ussse jaake apne seat dikha do.

Neha: (Staring at her ) Mere paas????

Dipika: (looking at her sternly) Neha….

Neha: (Timidly) Okay… Will do. 😵

Saying this she stomped off looking for that lady. How unbelievable!!!!!!!!! She had to offer the place near her to that woman. She didn't like Vishal and was sure that Haseena would not be different from her. Aakhir usi ki to assistant hai. 😡

Dipika saw Neha leave and smiled. It really was going to be tough with her team and Vishal. She knew it. 😳

Dipika: (Turning back to Ajay) Ajay Shotgun se kaho ki jo koi bhi evidence collect kiye hain, uski initial analysis karein. Ussse pehle autopsy ke liye taiyaar karein.

Ajay and Boxer giving a mock salute left the place to fulfill their orders.

After he left, Dipika decided that she would have to talk to that Vishal.

She made her way to her cabin.



Just as Dipika was at the door to her cabin, Neha came up to her. Dipika stopped to talk to her. She saw that Boxer had also followed her. What were they doing here???? ❓ Didn't she tell them to get the reports from Vishal's assistant.

Before Dipika could ask anything, Neha said…..

Neha: Maine us jagah ko clear kar diya hai.

She turned half ways to the back and indicated a space to her right on her table, which was clean without any papers or devices.

Dipika: (Smiling 😊 ) Good. (looking at Boxer) Boxer maine tumhe witness ke reports collect karne ko kaha tha????????

Boxer who was smoking his pen, stopped, he glanced inside the cabin. Dipika followed his gaze. She was startled. 😲

She saw that Vishal was instructing something to his assistant and Haseena bent down was fingering the laptop.

Boxer: Busy lag rahe the……

He stopped in mid-sentence when he realized he was talking to the air . Dipika had stormed into her cabin. Boxer gave one look to Neha, which Neha too reciprocated. Both of them knew that something wrong had happened. But what?????????? 🤢

Boxer and Neha silently followed Dipika into the cabin and stood near the door. Glancing at each other, occasionally………

Dipika: (In an icy tone) Vishal…… 😳

Vishal looked up from the laptop screen and Haseena too stopped her work and stood upright, saw who had interrupted them.

Vishal: (In a not-so-bothered look, said mockingly 😈 ) Oh… I am soooooo sorry…….. (He drawled) Main to aaj kal bahut bhulakad hota jaa raha hoon (He said hitting his forehead, acting of course ) Aapne koi meeting rakhi thi naa?????? Aww….. Special Squad ke Chief (stressing here) ki meeting maine miss kar diya….. (Looking at Haseena) Ye kya Haseena, tum to yaad dilati mujhe…….

Saying this he leant back on his chair and smiled at Dipika, mockingly. 😃

Haseena didn't bother to hold back the smile seeing the face expression of her boss.

Neha and Boxer frowned controlling their anger. 😡

Neha thought this Vishal??????? What was he????? 😡 He came today and his behaviour….. He really irritated them a lot….. They really didn't know how they were to cope with this man until Aryan was well. More than ever now Neha prayed that Aryan should get well soon…………. 😔

Dipika just stared at him in a steely gaze. When Vishal had not turned up for the meeting, she really had thought that maybe he forgot. But now his tone clearly said that he deliberately missed the meeting.

She decided that she had to handle this Vishal differently. She smiled at him in a superior way and said…….

Dipika: Oh… Meeting!!!!!!!!!! Yaa you missed it. Hmm… (Acting as if thinking) Lekin Vishal issse nuksaan tumhara hai. But that was not for which I came now….

Actually this is what she had come to talk about from the conference hall, but Vishal's tone and what she saw in the cabin made her change her subject……..

Dipika: (Continuing) Ye…. (Indicating the laptop, Haseena had been fingering) kya kar rahe the?????

That was when Neha and Boxer noticed the laptop. They were shocked!!!!!! 😲

It was Aryan's. How dare they touch others personal property? Dipika had noticed!!!!!!! That was more surprising!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😡

Surprises and shocks were now a part and parcel of Special Squad environment it seemed. 😉

Vishal knew he was caught. He had tried to crack open this thing before any one could notice. Him skipping the meeting, was also for this. But sheesh…. These guys were really too smart. 👍🏼 👏
Vishal: Er… kyun???? Laptop ko open kar raha tha…… Info.. 😃

Dipika: (Snapped) Ye personal laptop hai. 😡

Vishal: (having his head high)Personal?????? Aapka????????? 😎

Dipika: (Harshly) Aryan ka… Aryan Khanna ka. Chiek Investigator, Special Squad ka. Do you mind????? 🤔

Was it Dipika's imagination or did Vishal's eyes flicker with distaste at Aryan's name.

Vishal composing himself……….

Vishal: (Acting innocent) Aww… Mujhe to pata nahi tha…… 🤔

Dipika contracted her eyes and looked at him hard. She would have lost her senses if she had believed him for one second.

Dipika: (with a stern smile) Haan… Aapko poochne ki aadat ho to, pata chalega naa. May it be entering a new place or using others equipment.

She gave him a meaningful look.

Vishal sat erect in his chair. He stared at her angrily. He knew she was taunting him about not making formal introductions or asking permission to enter the cabin.

Before he could retort back, Dipika said…….

Dipika: Now if you'll excuse us, hum ye laptop lete hain. (turning her head towards Neha) Neha………

Neha looking at Vishal, came forward. Haseena was standing before the laptop. She didn't budge from her place. Actually she expected her boss, to say something, but none came out.

Neha: Please…. (Indicating her to move)

Haseena glared at her and moved behind her boss' chair.

Neha closed the system, shut it down and closed the lid, took the laptop. She started to leave from there, when Dipika again spoke……..

Neha just stopped short at the door, looking back.

Dipika: (To Vishal) Aapko agar ek laptop chahiye to batadijiyega, Head Quarters se permission leke ek aarange kar diya jayega. 😎 (She turned to leave, but turned back again) Vishal one thing is clear here in Special Squad office…. That we don't break any rules. We keep our investigations and interrogations clean. Haseena tumhari assistant hai. She is not to be included in the case discussions or what so ever. Tumne aaj jo reports use collect karne ko kaha, vo dubaara naa ho to acchha hoga. Ab un reports ko Boxer ko handover kar dena. 👍🏼

Just as she reached the door she turned back again, this time Boxer noticed a gleam in her eyes.

Dipika: Aur haan Vishal… Tum kal jo meeting rakhne waale ho, uska place aur time hume indicate karna theek se. We will be there surely, hum time ke bahut hi paapand hain. 😎

With that final parting shot, she left the cabin. Neha grinned at Boxer 😃 , who was holding the door for her, as she had the laptop in her hand. She then followed Dipika outside. Boxer remained behind looking at Vishal.

Neha was confused. Meeting????? 😳 Vishal didn't tell anything about any meeting, then what was Dipika talking about? She decided to ask her.

Boxer was also confused at Dipika's remark and turned to look at Vishal.

Vishal had tried to retort to her, but she kept up her flow and didn't allow him to get a word in. If looks could burn!!!!!!! The nerve of that women. But secretly he admitted that she was challenging 👍🏼 . Never had he met anyone like this, retorting to him. And the position she held, spoke a lot about her ability. 😍

Also what the hell meeting was she talking about? He didn't want to keep any meeting. Whatever she had thought, he wasn't going to heed to her, he confirmed himself. 😈

There was a long pause and Boxer was waiting. So he said, interrupting Vishal's thoughts…

Boxer: To reports denge to……

Vishal removed his gaze from the cabin door, he was staring at and glared at Boxer…. He was fuming to retort back, but instead ….

Vishal: (To his assistant, waving his hand) Haseena……

Haseene nodded. Took the car keys from the table.

Haseena: (In a not soft tone, to Boxer) Aayiye…. 😳

Boxer: (In the same tone) Jayiye….. 😆 (Showing his hand outside)

Haseena went out. Boxer followed the girl out to the Special Squad's car parking lot, wondering where she was taking him?

Haseena walked towards the posh car in which she and Vishal had traveled. She was walking very slowly, admiring the surroundings, as if this was a perfect time for it.

Boxer: (irritated) Jaldi chalengi…. Ek case hai solve karne ke liye….. 😡

Haseena: (Stopped in her tracks and looked at him from top to bottom) Hmph…. Case??????? Aapko aana hai to aayiye. Main aise hi chaloongi. 😈

Saying this she resumed her slow pace. She smiled to herself feeling satisfied at irritating Boxer. But she found one thing very intriguing, so she asked him……

Haseena: Waise aapka naam Abbas Ali hai naa, to aapko Boxer kyun bulate hain? Kabhi boxer reh chuke kya aap??? 😛
Boxer looked at her the same she had, from top to bottom. 😎 He then answered….

Boxer: Nahi, lekin jo bhi humse panga leta hai, to mujhse zaroor boxing ki maar khatha hai. (He said showing her his clenched wrist) 😉

Haseena got scared 😕 and hurried to the car. Boxer grinned back at her looks 😆 . She opened the front door and retrieved the laptop.

Boxer was surprised. So they did have a laptop. How mean they could be?????? He decided to rattle her more.

Boxer: To aapke paas laptop hai?

Haseena flushed embarrassed and didn't look at him. She retrieved the laptop and locked the car.

Boxer just grinned to himself 😃 and followed her into the office.

They reached the reception area and Haseena tried to go into her boss's cabin. Boxer stopped her by clutching her wrist.

Haseena winced at his grip 😵 . Boxer immediately let go off her hand. 😉

Boxer: Aap bhool gayeen ki reports hume dena hai.

He stretched out his hand for the laptop.

Haseena glared at his rudeness and answered back……

Haseena: Ye sir ka hai. Jo bhi reports chahiye keh dijiyega, main use aapke koi bhi system pe transfer kar deti hoon. Laptop aapko nahi de sakti. 🤔

Boxer: (Surprised said) Ha… Aapke 'sir' ka laptop. To aap kya kar rahin thi, Aryan ke laptop ko chedte waqt. Hum to ab case ke reports ke liye maang rahe the 😒 . Never mind. Chaliye…..

Saying this he made his way to Neha's table. Haseena stood fuming there and followed him stomping her feet.

Neha was collecting information about the victim who had died. Boxer approached her.

Boxer: Neha is laptop se reports ko apne system me transfer kar dena. Jab Dipika poochegi to print out le lena.

Saying this he looked at Haseena and went from there.

Neha looked back at the girl. Did she really have to put up with her??????? She thought, yes she had too!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤔

Neha: (Indicating the table on her right) Ye aapka jagah hai, jab tak aap ke sir Special Squad ke temporary Chief Investigating officer hain.

Why she said the last line she didn't know? 😕 But the thing was it gave her a satisfaction that this was really temporary 😊 . She decided to remind herself that often.

Haseena placed her laptop in her place and opened it. She fingered it and opened a file.

Haseena: Ye rahe report….. Apne system ke address do, main transfer kar deti hoon. 😲

Neha stared at her unbelievingly. System's address???????? 😕 No way???????? She wasn't going to trust her with it!!!!!!!! 😡

Opening her drawer, she fished out a pen drive. She extended it to Haseena.

Neha: Uski zaroorat nahi hogi. Isme copy kar dena, main apne system pe transfer kar deti hoon. 😈

Haseena was startled 😵 . Actually this was a simple way, she knew. But thought in a haste Neha wouldn't mind it. Actually she wanted to get the system's address. May come useful sometime, she had thought. But this girl seemed more intelligent. 😉 No problem there would always be a next time. She took the pen drive, copied the report and gave it back to Neha.

Neha: (In a steely tone) Thank you. 🤓

Saying this she resumed her work.

Haseena locked her laptop and went to see her boss.

Neha turned, saw her go and thought - What was happening in Special Squad???????? God help us out!!!!!!!!!!! 😭

The whole day was grim for the team in Special Squad. The entry of a new officer and his assistant gave the atmosphere a strange feel. But they did have a lot, literally lot of entertainment 😃 , more than what they could have asked for and boy did they enjoy it.
😆
After Dipika and Vishal's tiff over Aryan's laptop, Dipika went to perform the autopsy and on her orders, Boxer and Ajay went to investigate the witness again. Because Haseena, who was not connected with Special Squad in any way, had taken down the report. She easily could have missed anything, whatever experience she might have had been with her "Boss". 😔

So with no initial findings or reports there was nothing much to go on with the investigation.

Vishal was damn well irritated when he came to know that Boxer and Ajay went to go for cross-checking his investigation. 😡

Autopsy Room……….

The victim's body was on the table.

Dipika and Shotgun were at the far end of the room, near the table. Vishaka was measuring some chemical from a bottle, in a jar.

Dipika was just wearing her gloves to start on the autopsy. She had worn gloves on one hand and Shotgun was getting a writing pad ready to note down the findings……

BANG!!!!!!!!!! 😲 CRASH!!!!!!!!!! 😵

Dipika and Shotgun got startled and turned around. Looked what had banged and back at what had crashed.

Vishal was standing fuming at the door. 😡 He had banged the door hard against the wall.

In all the commotion, Vishaka who was measuring the chemical bottle from the table dropped it. It contained a very costly chemical used to preserve the bodies after the autopsy. It had crashed down. 😕

Dipika looked that way and Vishaka was fearfull…. Literally in a tearfull tone, she looked at Dipika all the while mumbling a sorry.

Vishaka: Ma.. maa.. Vo.. I… sorry….. maine… I was… carefull!!!!!!! 😭

Dipika looked at her pitifully and said…….

Dipika: Vishaka…. 😊 (Still she was mumbling, head hung) Vishaka suno…. (Vishaka looked up) It's okay… Tumhari galti nahi hai… 😳 (Looking at Vishal hardly) Just clam down and clean this up.

She walked the length of the room to the Vishal, who was standing near the door.

Boy was she angry 😡 . She literally could have burnt him down with her stare. She did all she could to control her anger, all the while removing her glove.

Vishaka was still trembling because of the mistake she did, so Shotgun helped her clean the mess.
Vishal: (In an angry tone) 😡 Aap apne aap ko samjhti kya hain? Mere investigation ko cross check karne ke liye mujhse junior ko bhejha!!!!!!!

Dipika didn't answer. Instead she half turned towards the table, put the gloves on it and started to go out. But Vishal stood in the way.

Dipika: (Looking at him more sternly 😡 , clenching her teeth) Main yahan case ke alava kisi aur matter ko discuss nahi karti.

Vishal contracted his eyes and looked at her pointedly….. 😈 Dipika returned his stare….. There was a long pause, a really long pause……. None of the two were ready to budge. Then Shotgun sensing a real bad fight coming up went upto Dipika. 😕

Shotgun: Dipika….

Dipika blinked and looked at him, then back at Vishal. That was when both came to their senses and knew that they had been rooted to the spot for so long.

Dipika tried to by pass him to get to the door, but he blocked her again and she felt the anger welling in her again. Before she could retort back…… 😡

Vishal: Listen Ms. (stressing on Ms.) Dipika Gosh… Main yahan aapki meherbaani se nahi hoon. I am here on a special order. Isliye main jo chahoon jaise investigation karoon, isme dakhal dene ka aapko koi bhi aadhikaar nahi hai. Main ye sab tolerate nahi karne waala.

Dipika: (Glaring at him) Excuse me Mr.(Stressing on Mr. as Vishal had done 😡 ) Vishal Malhotra…. Main bhi ye sab tolerate nahi karne waali. Jo rules hai vo hai. Main ise kisi bhi keemat par todne nahi doongi chahe jo ho jaye.

Vishal stood glaring and Dipika by passed him and went out. How dare he walk in like that inside autopsy room!!!!!!! See now the autopsy had to be left half way. She couldn't do the checkings, with her fury on that man. Boy was she angry.

Dipika went to her cabin and sat down hard in her chair. She was doing all she could control. She just took some book in random from her table and turned its page, still pondering over what had happened. 🤔

Neha came in with a paper in her hands. Boxer, Ajay also returned. Shotgun followed them immediately .

On look at Dipika and the team knew that she was not in a good mood. 🤢 But they knew that she rarely became angry and when she did, never vented the anger on anyone else unnecessarily. 😊
Shotgun deciding to break the nerve breaking silence, said in Bengali……

Shotgun: Dipika (She looked up) Case chaloo hai. Uska kya????

Dipika was herself again and her mood returned to normal soon enough. But she decided she had to be harder on Vishal.

Dipika: (Taking a deep breath, in Bengali) Shotgun case hai!!!!!!! 👍🏼 Investigate karenge…… (In hindi) Discussion table chalte hain.

She got up and looked over at Aryan's table. 😕

Dipika: (To Shotgun) Vishal ko bulaana hoga. Is baar use case ki discussion ke liye aana hi hoga. 😳

Ajay: Lekin vo to baahar chala gaya!!!!!!!!!

Dipika: (Shocked 😲 ) Kya??????? Case ke beech is tarah?????? Vo……

She stopped herself in time, to stop saying anything. This was really getting out of hand. 😡

Boxer: Haann(smoking his pen) Jab hum andar aaye vo aur uski assistant baahar jaa rahe the…. Kahan kisi ko nahi pata. 🤔

Dipika stood thinking for a long time. She decided……

Dipika: Use jab aana hai, aa sakta hai. Hume case par dyaan dena chahiye……. Center table everyone……

The whole team filed out of the cabin to the table.

The team grinned 😃 at the action……. After a long time, they were getting to real work. 👏 So Special Squad team back in its form….. 😎 Well not quite, without Aryan…… 😕 But atleast they would work now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍🏼

Discussion Table……

Everyone were seated at their usual places… Ajay with Neha beside him, Boxer standing, Shotgun and Zubin at one side. 😛

Dipika was at the head, just about to seat herself, when she saw Boxer standing…….

Dipika: (Irritated) Boxer hamesha aisa kyun karte ho???????? Bait kyun nahi jaate…… 😆

Boxer looked at her pleadingly 😕 , but Dipika stood her ground. So Boxer had to go and seat himself beside Shotgun. Shotgun tapped his shoulder with a mock sadness and grinned 😃 across at Ajay and Neha, who were also smiling at the incident. 😊

Everyone was thinking the same…… Some things in Special Squad never change!!!!!!!! Do they????????????????

Dipika: (Seating herself) To case hai murder ka, jo saaf dikhayi deta hai. Also initial analysis proves it. Victim ka naam Sundar Ahujha. Occupation HB bank ka manager. Head ke peche zor se vaar kiya gaya hai, skull is broken to smithereens. To initial analysis kya tha?? (She looked at Shotgun)

Shotgun: (Giving his report) Rigor mortis set huyi hai. Time of death kal raat 10 baje. Aur victim ke paas ek cricket bat mili hai jisme khoon tha aur jo victim ke blood se match karta hai.

Dipika: (Nodding) We have the murder weapon. Lekin strange hai ki kisi ne cricket bat use kiya, of all the things. 😕

Shotgun: Shayad wahan, wahi mila??????????

Ajay: Nahi lagta… maine poora ghar check kiyaa hai. Wahan to game ki cheezein thi hi nahi. Sirf ye bat mila tha. Cricket ke other accessories, gloves, ball, stumps… Nothing….. Koi sirf ek bat se kya karega???? Atleast cricket ball to honi chahiye thi.

Boxer: Aur uske haath me chaabiyaan mili thi. Ghar ke the. Lagta hai kaheen bahar se aa raha tha.

Dipika: (Approving their asumptions) Possible…. 🤔 Victim ke wound ko dekha to it was really brutal. Bahut hi zor se maara hai. It clearly says that ki killer ne vo bat baahar se laya and took the victim by surprise from the back. Kyunki the victim was lying near the door, halfway into the hall itself. Revenge motive ho sakta hai. Wounds se pata chalta hai ki killer ne apnaa poora anger victim pe vent kiya hoga, the wound has penetrated his brain, breaking the skull. 🤢

The team was shocked at this revelation. 😲

Dipika: Boxer witness se baat ki????????

Before he could answer anything, one staff came rushing over to the table. 😕

Dipika looked confused at the entry and more to say irritated at the interruption…. 😡

Staff: Madam…. Vo.. vo basement office me do log (out of breath) zabardasti ghusne….

Dipika immediately understood the problem.

Boxer and Ajay were already on their feet, running out to the basement. 😲

Dipika immediately hurried to the place, out of the front door of the office. She was irritated at the commotion especially during a case discussion.

The rest of the team followed her, baffled. 😕

Who could dare try entering Special Sqaud basement???? That too, in broad daylight?!?!?!?!? 😔 😡 😕
The basement office contained all the reserves of Special Squad. Their spare weapons, ammunitions, chemicals for the lab, all were stored there. The main UPS room for the computers and the main electricity board was also at the back of the basement office. So only aurthorized people were allowed there. Even the Special Squad team restricted going there often. They went only once in a while for stock keeping and checking. It was a heavily guarded place. 😕

Dipika and the team reached the place…….

Two, three of her office staffs were trying to stall someone entering the door of the basement office. A crowd had formed outside the basement door, due to the commotion.

Boxer and Ajay were trying to move the crowd away from the door.

Boxer and Ajay: Hato… 😔

Dipika: (raising her voice)Yahaan kya ho raha hai??????? Hato sab…. 😡

As Dipika ordered, the staffs moved away and the whole team saw a harassed looking Vishal, with his assistant Haseena 😲 . Dipika and her team were shocked on seeing him.

Dipika: (Suspiciously) Vishal what is this????????? 😕

Vishal: (fuming, breathing heavily) Aapke staffs ko ye bhi nahi pata ki ek Chief officer se kaise behave karein??????? 😡

The two staffs who had tried to stop him at the door, were shocked. Then the expression replaced with fear, at the deadly mistake they had done…… 🤢

One Staff: Chief???????????? Sir, We are sorry. Hume pata nahi tha…. Aur aapne bataya nahi……

Vishal glared at that officer, who stopped in mid-sentence and looked down.

Dipika was still confused and more over angry at what disturbance.

Dipika: (Irritated) Koi batayega ki yahan kya hua????????

The other staff who was silent, in mumbled tone started to explain…..

Staff: (Looking up at her) Mam, main aur Uday (indicating his colleague) main office se bahar jaa rahe the, apne basement office ki oor. Tab humne inhe aur in madam ko(indicating Haseena) ko basement office ko jaate hue dekha. Pehle inhe yahan nahi dekha, to humne inse poocha ye koun hain? Lekin inhone batane se mana kar diya aur raasta chodne pe zid karne lage. To hume laga ki ye bina permission ke andar ghus aaye. Humne inse kayi baar poocha ki ye koun hain, lekin inhone nahi bataya ki ye Special Squad ke naye Chief Investigating Officer hain. Hume inpe shak hua aur inhe office ke andar aane se rok rahe the….. 😭

Dipika smiled to herself…… 😉 She exactly had anticipated that this would happen sometime. But never expected this early. 😉

Dipika: (Becoming stern again) Aap sab log jao. Apna apna kaam karo. 😳

The staffs all dispersed and the watchman went back to guard his place.

Dipika: Vishal tum yahan kya kar rahe the???? Tumhe case solve karne me lage rehnaa chahiye tha…. 😡

Vishal: (Glaring at her) Chief officer hone ke naate, yahan check karne aaya tha ki everything is fine or not. Lekin yahan to ek officer ko bhi yahan ke log pehechaante nahi hain. 😡

Now this was the time Dipika was waiting for……. 😉 The exact anticipation she had when Vishal hadn't turned up for formal introductions….. 😈 How were the staffs of Special Squad to know who a new officer was, unless they were introduced?????????

If it was the main office it wouldn't have raised a problem…..The staffs would have noticed him with them or by seeing him seated him in Aryan's cabin, know that he was a new officer in Special Squad……..

Dipika: (Now Dipika knew she could give him back, smiling mockingly 😃 ) Vishal.. Humare staffs ke memory bahut hi pakke hain. Ek baar unhe ek officer se 'introduce' (stressing on the word) kar diya to unhe bhoolte nahi. Lekin jab introduce hi nahi kiya hai, to unhe kaise pata chalega???????? (She raised her eyebrows and asked him questioningly) 😎

The whole of the team stared at Dipika. They were astound that Dipika, 🤔 of all was giving back nonsense with her verbal words. They wondered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She had changed!!!!!!!!!!!!

There was a giggle from behind and Dipika turned back to see who it was.

Neha and Zubin, were having their life time controlling their laughter. 😆

Dipika indicated with her eyes not to laugh out. But she herself had to fight not to even smile. She turned back to Vishal. 😊

Vishal just glared on. 😡 He thought that by missing the meeting he would be sought by them and asked again to attend the meeting, instead here he was insulted by the staffs of Special Squad. But they hadn't come to look for him and they didn't even ask him why.

He knew this was where Dipika had got her mark. The mark which he would never give a woman, the mark he gave her when he saw her the first time itself…… 👍🏼 Inwardly he was very much impressed with her……. But now could he show that?????? Never!!!!!!! Not Vishal, The Great……. 😵

Dipika: (continuing) Haan agar tumne unko bataya hota ki tum Special Squad ke Chief Officer ho to, tumhe verify karke andar jaane de sakte the. Lekin of course tumne vo kiya nahi. Aur tumhara ID abhi tak bana nahi hai, to hum in bechare officers ko doshi kaise tehara sakte hain? Vo to sirf apni duty kar rahe the. Lekin Vishal tumhe ek baat ke liye thanks zaroor kehnaa padega. Thank you very much. 😕

Vishal looked at her angrily and confused. Thanks????????? For what??????? For getting insulted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❓
