Chapter 11: Center of the Chakkar
Kidnap at Spa:
Koel first entered the Spa, nervous yet still in her character. After initial chat with receptionist, she went on into the head message chair. Followed by titliyas.
All fourâs eyes were searching for Laxmi. Finally they spot her fiddling with her fingers, but she look relaxed after watching Monu.
All four grabbed one chair each, Laxmi quickly stood behind Monu.
âMaâam, I am sorry me apse aise baat kar rei hoo but ek aaphi hai jo mere dar ko samajh sakte hai. Mujhe bohot dar lag raha haiâ
Monu looked at her very guiltily , this poor liltle girl getting dragged in all the chaos, and now she is going to get kidnapped.
Sanju knew this look on Monuâs face, the one with Pity. She cleared her throat.
âExcuse me? Shall we start? We canât wait to get the head massage!â
All girls gave each other knowing look, and Sanju gave Monu a very stern look.
After 10-15 min , as per their plan, Koel starts breathing very heavily.
âOh my god! Oh my god! What is happening to me! What are you guys doing with me!â , and she starts hyper ventilating. âI want to go to washroom, I am feeling pukish!â
Monu offers to help her â Oh dear! Let me take you to washroom, please hold my handâ , But Monu kind of collapses under Koelâs weight. And asks Laxmi â Aap help kar doge please? I canât handle her alone!â
Laxmi toggles between her colleagues and Titliyas.
Sumanjee looks at her and retorts in stern voice,â Oh oh oh! Meri taraf dekhna bhi nahi. I have come here to relax not to see someone vomit!â
Sanju and Chitra nods. Unfortunately, Laxmi had to help Monu drag Koel to washroom. Once in washroom Koel was sitting on bench, Monu approaches Laxmi.
âSorry Laxmi, I couldnât talk to you properly in there. Wo sabke samne mujhe nahi baat karni thi is baare me. I hope you understand. Mujhe bhi bohot daar lag raha hai. Donât know waha villa me kya ho raha hai and kab tak sab khatam hoga aur kab wo mere pass wapas aa jaengeâ
Laxmi holdâs Monuâs hand,â Ho jaega sab, bus ye aaj ka kaam hone do me to apne bhai ko leke yaha se kahi door chali jaungi. Aise logonke biche rehna hi nei hai. JinkeâŚ..ummmmummmmmmmmmmâ⌠Rest of her line was stopped by the chloroform napkin on her face. While Laxmi and Monu were talking, Koel had doused napkin with chloroform. Slowly slowly Laxmi faints.
Monu looks at her apologetically , Koel puts one hand on Monuâ shoulder, âItâs okay! We are not really harming her! mission ke liye deshke liye ye jarrori hai!â
Monu nods and helps Koel pick Laxmi up. Koel exchanges her clothes with Laxmi and puts on the Mask on her face. They tasseled Laxmiâs hairs on her face so that it is partially covered.
Then they both gives support to Laxmi so that she could stand. Nodding at each other they started walking towards door. Monu explains to the bystanders,â Wo thoda chakkar aa raha hai inhe we will drop her to the roomâ. The house keeping arranges a wheel chair and they drag her to Keolâs room.
Once in room they tie her up to one of the chairs and wait for rest of girls to show up. Secretly wishing at Karanâs and at Jhingoor boyâs end everything is going smoothly.
Commandos on toes:
After Karan and Premjee went to the safe house where Ustadjee and rest of the commandos were staying, they had no contact with either of the teams. Karan just wished that the Kidnap and the work at Villa is going smooth with no issues.
Finally, he had briefed the team on what needs to be done once they reach the villa. Then he gets ready with his commando uniform under his jacket and ammunitions. They check the comms whether they are working properly. Grabbed the uniform and ammunition for Faizi and Sanju. While returning he had word with Batra sir who had approved the mission and with help from ministry had arranged bookings for rest of the commandos.
The plan was to stay near the storage room end till itâs dark and then slowly move towards the villa. After getting signal from Faizia nd once Bala/Sid are out of harmâs way the mission was going to start.
Karan checked his watch and gave the commandos a nod to move.
Koelâs room :
After half and hour, Chitra, Sumanjee and Sanju returned to the room. Premjee knocked on the door and handed over Sanjuâs uniform and guns. As Sanju was getting ready she instructed everyone clearly.
âDekho kuch bhi ho jae, tum logomese koi bhi mujhe is roomke bahar nei chahie. Na koi under ayegi na koi bahar jaega. Bala and Sid jab ayenge tab se is room se koi halchal nei hogi. Ye Laxmi ka dhyan rakho uske khane pine ka dekh lo, room me bohot kuch hai khane ka. Premjee ne kuch walkie talkies laye hai so that you guys can connect to control room. Waha se baki back-office team and Batra Sir mission ko monitor kar rahe hai.â
While she was going out of room, she turned one more time towards the cadets. Her cadets. She was very proud of them. One day , she thought, they will go all together in the mission. With fleeting smile, she vanished.
She joined rest of her team at storage room exit.
Karan : Sanju. Good you are here, on time. WoâŚ
Sanju : Laxmi room me hai sir. Aur sab cadet. Koi problem nei hui. Cadets to sare instructions deke ayi hoo.
Karan nodded ,â Yaha bhi sab thik hai, room pe bhi sab thik.I just hope Villa ke andar sab thik ho. Jaise hi Sid and Bala Villa se nikalte hai Faize will signal us. Be ready!â
With fire on their eyes both Karan and Sanju gets ready to go for mission!
Mission in the villa:
Sid was helping packing the cartonâs of drug into piles of different sizes. It was impossible to see what was going outside because it was very dark and they were not allowed to go outside. He was literally feeling like one of the goons because he was helping them escape. To make some plan he needed Faizi and Bala to be aware about it. And he was not sure whether they are ok or anything wrong has happened to them. But knowing Bala and Faizi well he knew them must be finding some way to talk to each other.
He thought for a while and then an idea came to his mind. Swiftly without anyone looking he took 3-4 packets of the drugs and hid them below the sofa. He looked at the goon next to him supervising all the process.
âBhai , yaha pe kuch gadbad lag raha hai mereko. Per carton15 packets chahie na. yaha pe kum lag raheâ
The one supervising came to him, â oyee kya bol rah ahai tu.Sare packates ginwake laye theââ
âarey phir aa hi dekh lo agar merepe bharosa neiâ
The goon counted and found 4 packets missing.
âYeh ho kya raha hai. Kisne liye hai packets? Ye mohanlaal kaha hai sara counting ka jimma uska thaâ He sounded angry.
âMujhe lag raha hai unhone counting me kuch kiya hai. Kuch kagaj hai jispe likha ho?â Sid tried to sound worried.
âHaan wo Mohanlaal ke paas hai ,usse leke aaoâ
âHaan me abhi leke aata hoo, tab tak ye hal carton yahi rakhta hooâ
And Sid slowly slide away from the room. He did not know where was Faizi but he knew where Bala was. Once he reaches Bala then can track Faizi together. He went towards backyard of the villa where few people were loading the trucks. He could see Bala standing in one of the trucks loading the carts. After multiple hand waving, jumping, and dancing finally Bala saw Sid. He gestured Sid to stay put and looked around to see how he can reach Sid.
Then he saw on nail sticking out of trucks door and one oft he supervisors standing there. When the next cart came, he pushed the one giving him cart a bit, he lost his balance and bumped into the supervisor. And the nail dig into supervisors arm. He cried in pain and when everyone gather around , Bala started his nautanki,
âArey baaaap re! kil ghus gaya! Wo bhi jung laga hua! Ab ye agar thik se saaf nei kiya, bandage nei kiya to infection ho jaega. Phir haath bhar me fail jaega. Phir haath katana padega. Dost gaya tera hathâ
âChup kar ! manhus kahi ka. Kuch nei hoga mera hath ko. Wo me kar dunga wo saaf waaf jo karna haiâ, He was scared looking at his bleeding hand.
Bala jumped down next to him, â Aap akele nei kar paoge. Koi doctor voctor hai?â
He glared at bala. âTereko dekh ke lagta hai yaha koi doctor voctor hoga?â
âBhadak kyu rahe ho merepe? Me to apke bhale ke liye bol raha. Koi nei me chalta hoo apke sath me kar deta madatâ
The goon thinks for a while. The cartons were pretty much loaded, they had enough man power to work on rest if this Bala comes with him then no harm. He nods and takes Bala along with him inside.
As they were walking through empty corridor Sid struck the goon on head with stick making him unconscious.
âWah Sid Bhaijee kya mataki phodi haiâ, Bala pats Sid.
âBROOOOOOOOOOOO! Awaz niche! Chalo yaha se , Faizi sir ko dhundte hai issue pehle ye phuta hua mataka kisi ko dikheâ
They were about to leave when they heard some murmur inside one room. Slowly they walked towards the room and stood next to window.
â⌠Aur kitna time lagega sab karne me?â, a voice with authority asked.
âJee bus 20-25 min aur phir hum ready ho jaenge yaha se nikalne ke liyeâ
Sid and Bala shocked looked at each other. They had only 25min! They couldnât find Faizi, and they did not had their mobile. How they are supposed to let Karan sir know. They peeped through the window to see who was talking.
âBadhiya! Is baar sach me accha kaam kiya hai. Kisiko kanokaan khabar bhi nei hue. Bus adhe ghanta me yaha se nikal jaenge. Yaha se gaav tak ka rasta 2 ghante me pura ho jaega. Hamare teeno truck ek sath nahi nikalenge. Har truck 15 min ke baad niklega. Clear?â
âYes Sir!â
And then that person stood up from chair. Sid and Balaâs eyeâs were wide open looking at that person. It was Ghanshankar , the boss of all the drug dealers. They had to find Faizi and let him know of the plan.
âSid Bhaijee ab kya kare?â
Sid though for a while âMobile phones!â
âKyaaaa?â
âMobile phones Bala! First we need to find our mobile phones! And then find Faizi sirâ
Bala node and they ran towards the entrance where their mobile phones were kept. There was not much security but 2 goons were there. Sid asked Bala to stay back and he approaches one of the man.
âBhai Mohanlaal ko dekha hai?â
âKaun Mohanlaal?â
âArey bhai jiske paas sare counts ke document hai. Dekho usse jaldi bulaya hai. Kuch to locha hua hai, maal pad raha. Bhayankar serious matter hai. Usko jaldi bulao!â
Scared of what will happen if boss come to know regarding this the goons started discussing with other. While they talk to each other, Sid slide near the booth and looked for the packet of mobile phones where all 3 cells were present. He found one and quickly grabbed it and put inside his shirt.
The goons still talking to each other he ran towards Bala handing him his and Faiziâs phone.
âBala soon ek kaam kar ye le tera and Faizi sir ka phone. Tuja aur unko dhund unko ye phone deâ
Bala took the phone but looks at Sid with confusion.
âSid bhai jee, aap kaunsa raita phelane ka soch rahe ho?â
âWe need to know more about the plan. Yeh sab bohot alag ho raha hai than we thought. Karan sir ne jo plan banaya tha Villa me mission karne ka, this is not going to happen! Hume unhe raste me pakdna hoga with trucks. For that we need more information. Tu ja unko mil aur Karan sir jaha storage room ke bahar hai waha ja me kuch der me aata hooâ
âBut Sid bhai jeeâŚâ
âjaaa Bala! We donât have time!â Sid pushes Bala and runs towards the villa.
Bala looks at Sid going inside. He can feel the plan going out of hand suddenly. The one plan has branched out as an octopus. He, Sid, Faizi, Karan Sirjee and team all were on different legs of plans. Each of them not knowing what other is doing!
He just wished he had rest of the cadets with him!
