Chapter 3 : Fiasco at Disco
After dancing for 1 hour straight the gang settle down.
Chitra : Hashtag rocking Disco! Sid hottie, thank you so much! Ye VIP experience mein to kabhi nei bhulungi!
Sumanjee : Haan Sid! Bada majja aya! Lekin ab na bohot bhuk lag rei hai sach me!
Sid : No worries Ladies! Mein abhi gaya aur kuch khane ke liye leke aya!
Monu : Sid mein bhi aati hoo tere sath. Washroom jana hai mujhe then I will help you.
Sid : Okay! To Chal!
Sid went to the counter whereas Monu to washroom. While returning from washroom Monu saw 2 very odd people with very ordinary clothes talking to each other in corner. They were looking like very lower middle-class people with torn shirts.
“Ye yaha kya kar rahe hai? Looks odd to be here!” She couldn’t go much close to them but can sense something serious talk was on going. “Mujhe kyu aise lag raha hai mene in dono ko kahi dekha hai”.
Monu was trying hard to remember when Sid comes “ BRO! Agar help nei karni thi ladko ko tadna tha to pehle keh deti! “
“What … “ Monu looks distracted “Sid, you mad or what! Mein kisi ko nei Taad rei. De mujhe wo tray. Chal abhi”
Still thinking about where he saw them Monu along with Sid returned to gang.
Bala : Sid Bhaijee apne bola tha apne wo supermodel ke sath selfie liya tha. Wo dekhni hai mujhe. Dikhao na please.
Sid : Kya tu? Despo! Ruk dikhata hoo. Yaar mere hath me ketchup lag gaya. Monu ye mere mobile se wo photo khol ke dikha na isko. I will wipe my hand now.
Monu opened Sid’s phone and was sliding through his clicks when she stumbles across the picks Sid took during his Jalpari mission. And she stops on one photo.
“SID! Ye.. ye 2 log kaun hai”
Sid wiping his hand with tissue answers “Kaun? Ye? Arey wo mission pe gaya tha na Sanju ke sath. Wo gang me se 2 log hai wo. Jo waha se bhag gaye the na kuch unmese hai. Karan Sir ne bola tha ye photos apne pass rakho delete mat karo”
“Sid , thank god tune Karan ki sun li. Because...” She gestures all gang to come close and whispers “I think I just saw these two people here in Disco”
All looks worries.
Sumanjee : To ab kya kare?
Chitra : Karan sir ko call karte hai.
Sid : Ok! Monu tu Karan ko kar.
Monu nods, she knew this is not the time think about their issues. They must act.

Back at academy :
Karan, Faizi , Sanju and Ustad jee in strategy room.
Sanju : Sirjee hum keh raho hai ye banda is baar kuch bada karne ki koshish karega. Itne mahine shant raha hai.
Faizi : Mene 2 3 logonko apne usual spots pe bheja hai information ke liye.
Tring…. Tring…. Karan’s phone ringing. He sees Monani’s name.
“Monami! Abhi mujhe kyu phone kar rei hai?” it’s been month since he has seen her name on his phone.
Faizi : Utha lo kuch kaam hoga.
Karan picks up his phone.
“Hello, Monami”
“Karan ….” Monu sounded tense.
“Monami, kya hua hai. Tum itni ghabarai hui kyu ho?”
“Karan wo … wo tumhe yaad hai wo mission jisme Sanju and Sid under cover gaye the?”
Karan sensed something wrong “ Haan.. But tum aise kyu pooch rei ho?”
“Karan I may be wrong or but, I think mene us din un club me jo admi the unmese kuch logonko mene abhi dekha yaha. Disco me!”
Karan put her on speaker , “ Monami I am putting you on speaker. Yaha Faizi, Sanju and Ustad jee hai. Tumne kya dekha phirse thik se batao”
Monu recapped everything that happened.
“Monami, dhyan se suno. Abhi tum sab log ek sath raho bilkul koi bhi alag nei hoga. Koi unke peeche nahi jaega. I repeat koi kuch plan nei karega kuch action nei lega. Bheed me raho Disco se bahar mat jana. Hum log abhi aa rahe hai”
Knowing Monu he knew she would act something, ,”Monami! Are you listening? Mujhe bolo ki tum ya koi kuch action nei lega and will follow all my instructions”
“Haan Karan hum sab wahi karenge jo tumne bola. Bus tum jaldi aa jao.”
“Yes, we are coming”
Monu explained everything to gang and they all choose a very public place in disco.
Karan gathering his gun “ Chalo , kuch to lead mila hai.Let’s see yaha se kya pata chalta hai”
------ Back to disco :
Sid : Monu Bro kab tak hum aise yaha baithe rahenge. I think we should act.
Bala : Haan agar wo log chale gaye to?
Monu : Nahi guys, Karan ne bola hai na wo aur baki sab aa rahe hai. Then I think we should wait.
Gang was debating whether they should act when the 2suspicious goons enter the floor. Still in deep conversation. All the gang’s eyes followed them trying to understand their moment. In brief second one of the goons eyes met Sid’d eyes. Sid tried to look away but goon gets suspicious and both of them were approaching the gang.
Chitra : Ab kya kare? Unko shak ho gaya hum pe.
Gang waited thinking the goons might loose their chase but they didn’t stopped.
Sid : I think Monu we do need to act NOW!
Monu : Haan! Ek kaam karo split up. Aur 2 alag alag raste jao. At least we can distract them by the time trainers come. Keep phones with you.
Sid, Premjee ,Chitra moves one way and Monu, Sumanjee and Bala goes another.
Goons runs behind them.
------- Trainers in jeep :
Karan : Mujhe pata nei kyu aise lag raha hai ye Cadet kuch na kuch karenge. Mere mana karne ke baad bhi.
Faizi : Haan! Chup chap baithe to wo rahenge nei. Jitna hum unko jante hai kuch na kuch karasthani wo karenge hi.
Sanju : Sirjee, hum kya bol raho hai ke thoda bharosa kar hi lete hai unpe. Socho agar kuch kar bhi raho hai to usike liye hi to train ho raho hai na wo log. Jo bhi training hum ne unko di hai lagta hai ke wo sambhal lenge.
Karan nods. He knows all his cadets are capable and would not take unnecessary risk. But the time he had broken up with Monu he has become extra protective of her. More than he was when she was with him. Monu has promised him once that she will never come in the way of his duty and he never have to think about her, worry about her on mission. She has kept her promise,but Karan was not able to keep his. He just wanted to see her and make sure she is ok.
Just the moment he reached the disco his phone rang.
“Hello.. Hello Monami, kaha ho tum?”
“Karan, sorry tumne bola tha kuch mat karna but we had to! Wo logonko humpe shak ho gaya tha and they were approaching us. So we had to run”
“WHAT???????????? “ He banged his hand on steering wheel.“Mujhe bus batao tum kaha ho? Baki log kaha hai?”
“Me , Sumanjee and Bala Disco ke basement wale parking area me hai. Sid, Premjee and Chitra nei pata”
Just then Sanju’s phone rang. “Hello , Siddharth…”
Karan nods at Sanju and returns to his call “Monami, Siddharth ka call aya hai Sanju ko wo Sanju ko bata dega kaha hai. You don’t worry hum un logonko leke ate hai. Bus tum teeno chupke rehna and apna phone on rakhna me aa raha hoo”
“Haan hum yahi hai”
Karan gestures Sanju asking her what happened
“Sirjee wo teeno Disco ke kitchen area me hai.”
“Thik hai. Sanju tum un teeno ke piche jao and unko yaha leke aa parking me. Me baki teeno ko dekhta hoo. Faizi tum Disco me jake un 2 gundo ke bare me pata karo. “
Nodding to each other all three of them exits the parking lot.
Karan approaching slowly and vigilantly towards parking lot. But he could hear nothing.
“Hello Monami, mein parking lot me hoon , tum log kaha ho I can’t see you. “
“Karan, Karan hum log ek black Mercedes ke peeche hai. Number hai… “
But before she could tell him number, he could hear somebody shouting and snatching the phone.
“Hello …. hello…. Monami. Hello tum sun rei ho”
With his heart racing millions of miles per second he frantically started running and searching for them. The parking lot was huge ,and he had to be careful. There might be one, two or may be by now many more goons.
He just crossed one huge pillar when he saw them. And a gentle sigh escaped from him. He titled his head at the sight in front of him. Sanju was right, he should trust them more.
Bala and Sumanjee had held down the goon and Monu was standing over with gun in her hand. Pointing it on goon’s head.
Smiling he came running down. Takes gun from Monu’s hand.
“Well done guys! Very well done!”
Grabbing the goon by the color he and rest of the guys went towards main parking area.
As they approached the parking space where they had parked their jeep, Karan saw another goon and Sanju holding him.
“Sirjee, cadets ne pakad liya isko.”
Karan nodding , “ Isko bhi inhi logone pakda”
“Me na kehta thi, ab hamare cadets bade ho gayo hai. Commando jaise sochna lag gaye hai”
“True. Well done guys! Really, tum logone aaj jo kaam kiya hai you have no idea how much you have helped us. Well wo baki sab academy jake.”
Faizi patting and hugging everyone asks them to sit in jeep.
Karan knew knowingly or unknowingly they have involved Cadets into their mission. And deep down he knew they were well capable of handling this thing. But the only question was will Batra sir allow them?
