Precap : Randhir and sanyukta goes to her appartement, they have a little chat during the car drive. While packing her stuff sanyukta says something that upset randhir. He threatens her once again. Then the gangster have a last meeting before they each go on their way to the mission. At night, randhir informs her about their mission and ask her to retrieve info on 2 persons during their absence. As soon as they got out, sanyukta tries to locate her daugther, she finds out that randhir took her, and decides to traces him as he is bound to go to her at some point or another.
Day 1
"Not found" umpteenth time that freaking message showed on her screen, adding more to her worries.
"Every damn method!" She banged her fists on the table and got up furiously, "That bas***d made sure I can't trace him" She thought to herself
"There has to be a way" She sat back and pondered over the screen, scratching her chin in tension.
She didn't even realized when the room around her got darker, all the time she had her eyes glued to the damn screen or muttering curses each time her method or strategy failed.
All her anxiety and eagerness to find her daughter by tracing Randhir went in vain. She sighed.
And escaping was not an option, they had her daughter and she could not risk her...She fell asleep in the same chair she worked upon, with the last thought praying to the almighty to keep Tara safe.

Day 2
Sun was her alarm for today, she woke up rubbing her eyes. She looked around in the room, nothing existed much in there. It almost felt that no one was around, still someone surely kept a watch.
She rolled her hair in a messy bun as she came back to her seat after a refreshing bath and a new hope that maybe things would work out this time and she may have a chance today.
She sipped coffee turning on the computer when something struck her.
"Yess... yes...yes..." she shouted and jumped almost saved from splashing hot coffee over her.
After a few minutes of happy dancing she stopped remembering his words, "Is he really watching me?" Sanyukta thought to herself and looked around. The least thing she needed right now was to embarrass herself in front of him. She imagined him, comfortably settled behind a screen watching her antics and laughing at her...mortifying !... But if that was indeed the case and he was watching her, she could probably let out a curse or two to let him know what she really thought of him !
"Idiot"
"Imbecile !"
"Jerk"
"Barbarian"... if he didn't know who she was talking about...now he definitely knew !
"Scoundrel"
Satisified with her chain of insults, she got up and went to her bag containing all her gadgets, retrieving a key chain type of device from a zipper along with a note
"Chipolo : a stylish key ring attachment for objects. You'll be able to attach it to almost anything like a laptop case, keys or even your pet and register it with the app. Once registered, you'll be able to use an app on your Android or iOS phone to locate the object over Bluetooth 4.0. The app will allow you to make the Chipolo emit a noise to help you locate it, and it also shows how far away from the object you are. Chipolo has the unique functionality of including a temperature sensor in the tracker, so you're able to find out just how hot it is where your device is."
Her smile grew wider as she thanked the makers for such amazing inventions. She quickly pocketed it up and decided to make sure Randhir gets "chipoloized" soon. ...She was insane she knew it... playing with fire could be really dangerous ! ...Then again every great man was thought to be insane before he changed the world... But the sad part was that some never changed the world ...they were just insane. She hoped she was a descendant of the first kind !
***
"Sanyukta you're an idiot" She mentally slammed herself for misplacing those two photos Randhir had given her. Evening had dawned as she remembered her actual task.
"Finally" she found it under the papers kept near her screen and set to find those guys. Even though she was a fervent follower of the student symdrom method, she could not apply it here. The Student syndrome refered to the phenomenon that many people will start to fully apply themselves to a task just at the last possible moment before a deadline. ...But when you knew what, or rather who, was awaiting you at the other side of the deadline, which mainly consisted in a very angry mi human mi beast thing, you thought twice before using such method. She needed time... time to collect the info, time to mentally prepare herself to face him, and time to think of ways to annoy him ! ...Better be prepared ! Having made up her mind, she started the investigation.
The night passed by sooner as the only noise echoing in her room belonged to the stroking of the keyboard keys. Finally even that silenced when her eyes shut down, sleeping peacefully.

Day 3
Even the sun couldn't wake her up next morning, her eyes finally opened at the peak hours of sunshine.
"12 am! Holy Shit! How long have I been sleeping?" She cursed herself as she panicked it out to be the 3rd day. The days of Randhir's arrival and she still didn't have much about those men. Kuch karna parega... warna aj tu gahi Sanyu ! The problem was that she did not know what this "kuch" could be... she sighed, she would have to improvise she concluded.
She starting digging for information of the guys. According to their general profiles, they seemed good. "Hopefully he isn't on a killing-innocent-spree" she thought, "they look decent!"
***
After three days of loneliness, she could feel another soul existing in the place beside her, she anticipated it was him. Was she ready to face him ?...No. Did she have a say in the matter ? ...definitely not ! She braced herself and mentally prepared herself for the upcoming storm.
The door creaked open as she gathered her files up to show him. Her heart beat increased. What she was going to do was dangerous.
"Your highness has finally decided to do me the honor of his presence" she said sarcastically. She had to be her usual sarcastic self if she didn't want him to think that something was amiss.
"Here you go your highness" she extended the files.
He rapidly reviewed it.
"Is that all you could fetch in 3 damn days ?!" He hrew the file her way,
"I... I ..." She stammered. Soch Sanyukta soch.
"You What?!" he howled.
"I tried my level best okey " she spoke gathering some courage. It was unlike her to hesitate, she needed to keep a strong posture. Otherwise he will feel something is wrong.
In next minute he was up from his chair, coming towards her. Grabbing her shoulders hard.
"Quit" he emphasized on the word, "Quit playing games! Even you know what I mean... Falcon, India's best hacker only gathered these little info in three f**king days ?!" He roared. "Are you f**king kidding me ?!!!"
"The outcomes would be harsh and severe. Mind you!" He warned her, jerking her.
Her eyes welled up, no one ever conversed with her this way... And she was not a bag of potatoes for crying out loud that he was pushing her here and there... even though the comparison was very fitting, she had been pushed and smashed so many times by this guy that she wondered how she didn't turn into Sanyukta-puree by now !
But this was the perfect time. She slowly pulled the key ring out and slid it into his jeans loophole. Mission accomplished, she happily thought.
"Don't worry my little Tara, I won't let anything happen to you", she thought.
"Am not playing any games" ...Big fat lie ! "And if you think it is that easy to find information... please help yourself" she gestured toward her computer.
"Don't.play.games.with.me.girlie... Am warning you!" he said through greeted teeth, barely containing his anger...He was still not convinced.
...Ok, thought Sanyukta in her mind, ...she remembered someone saying : if you cannot convince someone, confuse him ! With that in mind, she started with her nonsense.
"Look Mr.Gangtser, it's not because am India's best hacker that I can make the impossible possible..." she paused.
"Ok Let me explain, cheese has holes, right ?" she asked, pausing for a response, when non came, she answered herself
"Right."
" ...The more cheese you have, the more holes you have, right ?" she continued.
"Right" she once again replied to her own question.
"The more holes you have, the less cheese you have, that too make sense right ?"
" ...But if all what I said before was right then the conclusion would be : The more cheese you have, the less cheese you have...which does not make any sense !" she stated matter of factly.
"...And it is exactly why being India's best hacker I cannot make the impossible possible" she finished her speech, mentally patting herself for not mixing up the words...that would have been embarrassing !
Upon hearing no sound from Randhir she nearly burst out laughing. No one in their right mind would have understood what she just said. It had taken her 2 or 3 times of reading it again and again to understand the damn sentence...which at the end of the day actually made sense. But it was so damn twisted...If only she could see his expression, she bet it would have been priceless !
His voice broke the chain of her thought.
"Whatever ! You have 2 more days before I Come back, make sure to find more ! " with that said he left.
***
"Tomorrow is a big day...I can't let this opportunity rush out of my hands" he thought to himself as he glanced the perfect round moon emitting the light over his dark self.
There he stood in his room, preparing for the mission for tomorrow.
"A local trafficker will move a group of 5 children tomorrow, if everything goes according to my plan, 5 lives will be saved tomorrow" he thought contently. He finally closed his eyes and walked back to his bed, sleeping to prepare himself for it.

Day 4
She woke up lazily only to find a hot coffee mug along with a not with it,
"Resume your job, Retrieve more!" was all written over it.
She was confused at his behavior, a cup coffee seriously ?...He made it himself ...really ?...wo be mere lie ?...Nah I can't believe it...No no just imagine, a big tattooed guy going into the kitchen, making coffee for his captive, leaving it next to her with a small note for when she wakes up...sounds weird right ? ...bus note pe smiley hi baki tha... It can almost be considered as breakfast in bed... WEIRD..."Probably he's pregnant!" she concluded in her mind owing to his mood swings... What ? You think man can't get pregnant ? Then update your scientific knowledge database cause it is actually possible. Apparently some fathers wanted to feel how is it to get pregnant and experience the feeling you got while carring another life inside you... and just like that some crazy scientist took them on there words and started experimenting ! Crazy right... i mean there was a surely a "dimension" problem if you know what i mean... but whatever ! The point was that men could technically get pregnant...Sanyukta concluded, stopping her wandering thoughts. She had worked to do !
She picked up the mug and smelled the aroma, "My favorite?" She seemed puzzled on how much he knew, "Certainly some people do their homework very seriously unlike her" she thought.
***
As she kept the mug back to the bedside table, her mind stuck at a clue. The coffee was still hot, "He must not be far".
She rushed to the other room to switch on her laptop to track him down.
"Gotcha!" she grinned, looking at the moving red dot on the screen.
She patted herself for being successful in her mission, she then kept glancing at his indications and kept scribbling something on her notepad. his location went stable, she thought of taking a quick bath before he relocated.
***
Randhir was hiding at a dark location, it was a cob webbed place full of dirt and dust, no one could even think of life existing here but he knew this was their secret hide out. He knew he was near.
Sanyukta on the other hand came excitedly jumping to check if he moved, her hair still dripping.
There the blunder took place, she spilled some water over the keypad while closely studying his location, when she went to dry it, the keys got pressed...SHIT ! She panicked.
Sanyukta's eyes widened as her screen showed a red alarm and she panicked to turn it off. It took her a moment to realize the blunder she had done. She now feared herself to be dead.
***
Randhir saw a table with a dim light hanging over it. He saw them discussing something, in an urge to eavesdrop he stepped nearer. he closely looked to find some kids who seemed to be drowsy, probably drugged he concluded. As he was about to sneak in more closer, a particular alarming sound deafened his ears, the shock hit him when he recognized it came from him. ...What the hell ?!
He panicked and rushed to escape, finally being successful.
But unfortunately alerting the wrong people in the process. "The children..." he thought. He couldn't leave them here. "May be I could use this situation as a distraction" he thought looking for an alternative.
Opting for this, he went back. He managed to save the children, but he got injured in the process. As the traffickers was alerted they were prepared for the danger, waiting for him with knife in their hands.
Randhir quickly made an escape dashing towards his car. He examined the object that emitted the sound, it was some kind of tracking device..."Sanyukta...!!!" he said through gritted teeth, He rerouted himself back to his DEN without a second glance at the injuries on in face, blood still dripping from it. ...She had crossed the limits this time. He was beyond furious !
