Discoveries
The figure
stared at the bodies lying in the front – one male and the other female. It was
time to come out of hiding as the plan had already taken too long and more time
meant more breaths for Ajabde. The figure gave one last glance at the bodies
before walking away from the scene unaware that the plan would proceed much
faster as a wandering soul had seen the bodies and was now running off to
inform the police.
Within hours
the entire dilapidated hut was overflowing with the police and search teams.
Bodies had been sent to the morgue for post-mortem while search dogs were
sniffing the area around for some scent or clue but the rains had washed away
the scent. Whoever planned the murders was well aware that everything was
working in his/her favour.
Rann Singh
stared at the images and re-read the statement of the eye witness who only saw
the back of the figure – dressed in pure black with a cap. Height average,
build was average and the hands were covered with gloves.
Rann Singh
stared in frustration when one of the constables came running: Sir ji you have
to look at this
He handed
him a packet that had images, blueprints, car details and some sort of residue.
All the images belonged to the Punwar girl as her name was mentioned in each
and every one of them. But it was the car details that spiked his interest- it
was the same car that was used for the blast.
RS: It means
everything is connected to each other
Constable:
Ji sir ji. Some of the residue has been sent to the lab and we also discovered some
remains of bomb-making materials
RS: Whoever
is behind the blast wanted Ajabde Punwar dead. She’s the main target. Get the
car we need to speak to them
THE MALL
Ajabde and
Subhagyawati had come to the mall to spend some time together after everything
that had happened. Pratap knew she was tensed because she had stopped her dance
practice as well so he called Subhagyawati to make plans on improving Ajabde’s
mood
Ajabde: Why are we at the mall Subho?
Subho: Because you need a change Ajabde especially
after everything that has happened
Ajabde: I’m
fine
Subho: Then
why did you stop your practice
Ajabde had
no answer for her question
Subho: We are going to spend this day here at the
mall getting the best therapy for the stress
Ajabde: What
would that be?
Subho: Retail therapy (both girls laugh)
The girls
made their into the Forever 21 store unaware that a figure had followed them.
Keeping a safe distance from the two girls the figure observed their movements.
Seeing her laugh without a care in the world made the figure smile as only the
figure knew that after that day she would never laugh again. It was time for
Ajabde to say her goodbyes
SISODIA HOUSE
Pratap sat
looking at the files Rawatji had brought for him as he intended on joining his
father’s business so they had decided he would start learning the ways of the
business soon. The bell rang repeatedly making him frown and the frown deepened
when Rann Singh entered with his constables
Pratap:
Inspector what brings you here?
RS: We are
here to meet Miss Punwar
JB: She’s
not here at the moment Inspector
RS: Ma’am it
is important we learn of her whereabouts as soon as possible
Pratap: What
is going on inspector?
RS: We need
to speak with Miss Punwar regarding the case. Everything that has happened till
now including the blast and those murders has a common link – Miss Punwar
JB:
Inspector you are saying that she is responsible for all this
RS: No Ma’am
I’m telling you that she is the reason for everything. We found two more bodies this time a female as
well and from the scene we were able to also able to find some more clues that
includes images with Miss Punwar’s name, time and the place, blueprints for a
studio and other things.
THE MALL
–BASEMENT PARKING
The girls
made their way towards their car when Ajabde felt the hairs on her back rise.
She gave a side glance to Subho who was busy speaking on the phone while
managing the bags in her hands. One of the bags in Subho’s hands fell down when
a car rushed towards the girls
Ahhhhh a
scream tore out of Ajabde when a hooded figure came out with a gun in his
hands. He gestured for Ajabde to get inside while pointing the gun at Subho
Ajabde: Let her go …please
The figure
fired a warning shot scaring the girls when they heard the alarms of the police
cars. The figure stood still for couple of seconds seeing the police cars pool
around them and then roughly pulled Ajabde towards the car
Ajab
Pratap…..
Pratap stood
numb seeing Ajabde being forced inside the car but she was still struggling
when the figure angrily hit her head with the butt of the gun
Pratap: Don’t
touch her
He tried to
take a step towards them but was stopped by the constables. The figure hurried
into the car and it rushed off towards the exit. The last image Pratap saw was
of the figure’s hood removed from the face while trying to adjust Ajabde and he
knew the person
Samar
RS: who?
Pratap: That’s
Raghav Singhania’s assistant/friend Samar. We’ve met him before
RS: This
means that
