Smriti's PIV-
We reached Andheri along with the bomb squad as soon as we could. I had informed mumma that I was okay. I knew that she would have been worried because she knew that I was in Bandra at the time of the blast.
" Guys, shoot those people at sight. Just make sure to cover your faces." Sanjay sir said over the phone.
" But sir, there are many civilians present in this area." I said.
" Ms Sharma, it is very important to kill those people. If we kill all of them, their boss will get frustrated because of this cutting network from the Mumbai city. He will surely act hastily and come out in the open, and when he does that, we will arrest him and interrogate him out of all the information we have." Sir said.
" Okay sir." I said and ended the call.
" Guys! Sanjay sir has ordered us to kill all those men at sight. Just buy some scarf kind of thing to cover your faces." I told my team.
" I am going to get scarfs for all of us. Till then keep following the men." Mansi said.
" As those people will proceed, they will keep on meeting their partners, that will be the time we will split and follow each of them. Then at the count of 5, we will shoot them all and immediately evacuate the area." I said.
" Yes, and the bomb squad will diffuse the bombs and Rajat will inform the Mumbai police." Fahim said.
" Let me call Lakshya and ask him to keep a check on all of our locations. It will be easier that way to keep us all updated about our locations." Rajat said, we all nodded.
" Let's get connected via conference call. That way, if we split, we can still remain in contact." I said.
Mansi was here. We all tied scarfs around our face and then waited for those men to start walking. They are still standing near a tree.
In about 15 minutes, they started walking. We started following them. Rajat and I were together and Mansi and Fahim were a team. The bomb squad was behind us in their cars.
In about another 20 minutes, the person we were following met his partner and handed him a bag. They then started walking in different directions.
" Smriti, you go behind him, I'll follow this man." Rajat said.
I nodded and we parted our ways.
" Guys, Rajat and I have split. We are following different people now." I informed via the conference call to everyone.
" Mansi and I have parted too. We are following different people." Fahim said.
" Now as soon as they keep their bags somewhere, shoot them. I am sure that they will all keep their bags down together because there must be a time bomb in it." Mansi said.
" Guys! The guy I am following is taking a local train to Goregaon. I am boarding the train too." I said over the bluetooth.
" The man whom I am following has taken a taxi. I have to follow him." Mansi said after 10 minutes.
" Guys, these people are splitting and going to different areas of the city. They are planning to blast in all populated areas." I said.
" I am messaging Lakshya to call more people for bomb squad and inform them about our locations so that they can diffuse the bomb ASAP." Rajat said.
" Wat is the location of the bomb squad people who were already with us?" I asked.
" One team is with me in Andheri and one team is following Mansi." Fahim said.
" Guys, I am in Dahisar." Mansi said.
" Okay. one team of bomb squad is with you." I said.
" I know." Mansi said.
I got Lakshya's call on my other cell.
" Smriti, all of your locations have been informed to the bomb squad, they will be there in not more that 7 minutes." Lakshya said.
" Okay Lakshya, just make sure that you keep Sanjay sir informed." I said.
" Yes, I have been calling him constantly to keep him updated." He said and I hung up.
" Guys, I just had a talk with Lakshya, the bomb squad will be there in 7 minutes." I said.
" Guys, I have come to Juhu. I think this person will place the bomb soewhere near the beach." Rajat said.
" Keep follwing." Fahim said.
" How much will thse people walk!" Mansi exclaimed.
" Guys, the bomb squad is here." I said as soon as I saw their car.
" They have reached Juhu too. I have to admit that they are quick." Rajat said.
" The person I am following is going to keep his bag down." Fahim said.
" These people too." We all said.
" 1....2....3....4....Shoot!" Mansi said.
I shot him. The people in the area got afraid and started running.
I took it as an opportunity and ran.
" Done." I said.
" Done." They all chorused.
" Guys, the bombs have been diffused." Mansi said.
" How do you know?" I asked.
" Lakshya just called me. The bomb squad people had called him to inform," She said.
I called Sanjay sir by the other cell I have.
" Sir, those men have been killed and the bombs have been diffused." I told him.
" Good work. Now go back to the hotel, pack your bags take the next flight to Delhi. It is not appropriate for all of you to stay there now. The Mumbai branch has already been informed." He said.
" Okay sir." I said and he hung up.
We all were still on the conference call.
" Guys, we have to start for Delhi as soon as we reach the hotel." I said.
" And here I thought that I could finally eat and sleep after such a long day!" Rajat exclaimed.
When I reached the hotel, Fahim and Mansi were already there.
" Has Rajat reached?" I asked.
" Here I am guys." He said, entering the lobby of the hotel.
" Let's go and pack our bags." Mansi said.
I nodded.
We all checked out of the hotel and started for the airport. Fortunately, we got the next flight home soon. We boarded the plane after 2 hours and reached Delhi by 2 in the night, technically in the morning.
" Sir we have landed." Fahim informed Sanjay sir.
" Sure, we will come to the office tomorrow." He said again.
" Sir now?" He added further.
" Okay sir." He said and hung up.
" Guys, we have to ditch our sleeping plans. Sir is calling us all to the headquarters right now!" He said frutratedly.
We all sighed.
It took us another 45 minutes to reach the headquarters from the airport.
" Go and wash your faces. I want all of you to be fresh to discuss what I have to." Manish sir said, as soon as we entered.
" Okay sir." We all sang.
We all washed our faces and got us filter coffee and then went to Manish sir's cabin.
" Have a seat." He said. We did what we were told.
" What is the date today?" Snajay sir asked.
" 25th January." I said.
" Wrong. It's 26th." Manish sir said.
I looked on confused.
" It's 3 Ms Sharma." Sanjay sir said.
" Exactly sir! IT is 3 in the night." Rajat said sleepily.
" You all need to go to the Red Fort for security at 6. Dress as if you are the members of the organising team. Here are your fake ID's." Manish sir said, handing over the id cards.
" You all are directly doing to the Red Fort from here. Make sure that you all are somewhere near the PM and the President. Not for security reasons but these are chances of a bomb being placed there. The opposition party has been reported to be in contact with a known terrorist group to assassinate the PM. No other department has this information about this except for RAW and we are sending the best officers we have. I will be in the celebrations too. If situation goes out of control, then inform me ASAP." Manish sir said.
" Sir, but what will I do? I am a technical person." Lakshya asked.
" Mr Malhotra, you will hack the CCTV systems present there and keep all of them informed about the activities taking place." Sanjay sir said.
He nodded.
" Sir, can we go home and sleep for sometime?" Mansi asked.
" NO Ms Khurana, you all will get ready here and directly leave from here." He said.
" But sir, you see that we don't have clothes here." I said, excitedly.
" You don't have to worry about that Ms Sharma, all of your clothes have already been arranged. Sunaina was kind enough to get them." Sanjay sir said.
Did I forget to inform you that Sunaina is Sanjay sir's daughter?
We sighed. It was 4:30 by the time everything was discussed. Then we all went to our cubicles to take some rest. As soon as I rested my head on the table, I was taken into deep slumber.
" Everyone wake up!" Manish sir roared.
" Heights of childishness!" Sanjay sir exclaimed.
We all woke up.
Then both of our hitler bosses went away. It was 5:30.
" Can anyone explain me how sleeping for one hour is a childish activity?" Rajat asked.
" I heard that Mr Rajat. Now all of you get ready." Sanjay sir said entering into the cubicle again.
He handed us the clothes and we got ready. Mansi and I had to wear traditionals!!
Smriti's Attire-
Mansi's Attire-
" How are you girls planning to run in those attires?" Fahim asked Mansi and me.
" We can climb Mt Everest in these attires and you are talking about running?" I asked him sarcastically.
He rolled his eyes and went away.
We all started for Red Fort. When I was patrolling there, I saw a horrendous sight.
Mumma and Papa were sitting in the audience along with the Grey family!
What the hell am I supposed to do now?
I then informed Mansi about the same.
" Call aunty and ask her where she is. Then tell her that you are in Mumbai. This way, she will not get suspicious even if she sees a glimpse of you. She will think that it is an illusion." Mansi said.
" Great idea. Let me call her." I said. She nodded.
Mumma picked up the call.
" Hii mumma, where are you? Why is there so much noise in the background?" I asked.
" We are at the Red Fort for the Republic Day parade. Mia wanted to see it." Mumma said.
" That's great!" I said.
" Where are you?" She asked.
" Mumbai." I said.
" When will you come back?" She asked.
" Today afternoon." I said.
" You're okay right?" She asked.
" Yes mumma, I am fine. I will talk to you later." I said.
" Bye." She said and hung up.
Now time to concentrate on 2 things-
1) The people are safe.
2) I am safe and out of peripheral area of my parents and the Greys.
