Everyone was seated around the discussion table……
Sheela was seated in Dipika's usual place and Dipika occupied the next chair…. Others were seated in their places…. But as usual in a pretence that Dipika would not mind, Boxer made a move to stand near Vishal's chair….. But of course Dipika never had approved of this attitude of him to approve now….. So one stare from Dipika muttering he went to sit next to Ajay….. The whole team always had a treat seeing this…. So they couldn't help grinning…. Vishal too smiled…..
After settling down Sheela asked again….
Sheela: Mr.Vishal… Are you sure its okay here? I mean I am ready to answer any of your questions in the interrogation room…. 😊
Vishal: Ms.Sheela its perfectly okay…. Actually you are not specifically included in our list of suspects or witnesses as such…. Its just that you were there when the body fell down from the vent…. And you handled the situation there….. That's why… We had actually called you in the office to just ask you what happened after the body was found… Nothing much….
Sheela: (Crossing her legs smiling) Then its fine…. Actually I was a Chief Guest for the show…. When that particular dance was performed the body fell from the top…. A shock really… Everyone first thought it was some show gimmick or something…. Even I thought so to…. But when the dancers on the stage too became worried I hat to take control of the situation….
Vishal: Lekin Sheela ji… Jab Special Squad team wahan pahooncha tab aap wahan nahi the? ❓
Sheela: Oh… Yes… Maine kaha na ek Pune ka case hai…. Actually main wait karna chahati thi, lekin us case ke liye mujhe usi waqt Pune se call aaya and I ahd to leave....
Vishal: Please it was not because of suspicion we asked you… Its just that we wanted to be sure we didn't miss anything….
Sheela: Mr.Vishal its absolutely fine…. Kuch nahi….
Vishal: Kya us show ke douran kuch hua tha? Did you notice anything amiss?
Sheela: (Thinking) Well… Nothing… Everything was smooth until that body fell…. Excuse me…..
A phone ring was heard... Sheela took her phone and saw that it was hers….
Sheela: Hello…. Haan… Aap?
…………………………
Hearing the other side Sheela sat straight in her chair…. Something was wrong…. She became tensed….. She gave a look around and spoke ferverishly….. 😔
Sheela: Tum kahan ho ab?
………………………..
Sheela: Kisi aur ko pata hai tum kahan ho?
…………………………
Sheela: Theek hai… Waheen rehena….. I will be there…. Kaheen mat jaana…. Kisi ko phone mat karna.... Main abhi aati hoon waha..... (Cajoling) Don't worry I will be there as soon as possible….. Cell ko switch off karna… Koi trace na kar dein tumhe….
After cutting the call Sheela got up hastily…. Everyone got up…. Even before Vishal could ask her what the matter was…..
Sheela: (Looking at Vishal) Excuse me…. I have to go…. Emergency hai…. Mere… Mere case ke silsile me….. Er… Informer ka phone tha….. Kuch aur chahiye to office me contact kijiye gaa....
Before anyone could ask or say anything Sheela was out of the office….
Surprised for a while each of them looked at the other….. Vishal spoke up more to himself than to others, thinking aloud….. 🤔
Vishal: That's weird….. She was relaxed first, but that call her made her so agitated…..
Dipika: Unhone kaha naa Vishal it was about her case…. Maybe something turned up…..
Vishal: (In a hard type of tone) Of course yes… Isliye to chali gayi…..
Saying this he went off to his cabin.....
The others wondered what the matter could be? ❓
Vishal was talking well to them but a little harsh to Dipika…. They didn't understand…. They saw it suitable to just silently dispersed off to their places….. 😕
