Sunheri explained everyting to DD and both together went to Neil.

"Sirji... " He called him while Neil lifted his face to look at him.

Suddenly he got a call. He picked his Mobile only to find Avni's caller ID. He attended the call putting it in speaker.

"Avni.... " He said immediately while DD and Sunheri looked at each other and then looked at Neil.

"Ne.. Neil.. " Her voice cracked but she spoke. Sweat were covered all over her face. Her hands were tied back behind the chair. And there was many men standing around her with one man who is none other than Ballu holding phone. He is the one who lied to her that there was an accident.

He sighed hearing her voice closing his eyes.

"Neil.. " She again spoke with a heavy breath while he can clearly understand that she is so scared

"Avni... Don't be scared Avni... Nothing will happen to you... I won't let anything happen to you.... Please don't be scared.." He said while tears were welled up as she moved her eyelids towards right side to see the gun which is pointing at her head. She is at gunpoint.

The head of the gangster snatched the phone away and spoke

"Hello Mr. Neil Khanna... Nice meeting you... " He said while Neil gritted his teeth.

"I know you have been searching for me... Vo kya haina... Vidyut Pandit ko itni asani se koi pakad nahi saktha... " He said  with a smirk.

"Don't you dare to do anything to her... " He said in anger.

"Waah... Waahh... You have so much guts to still order me already knowing that I have a hostage...." Vidyut said to him getting angry.

"I would like to you give you update about your hostage's condition.... She is beautiful and Smart...Fighter too... She tried her best alas!.. She couldn't able to do anything... .. " He said while at starting when He says about being beautiful Neil couldn't control himself. His anger reached its peak. While he calm himself and talked to DD with a sign while DD understood what he meant and went to shelf to take something

"She gets on my Nerves by her strong attitude and I felt like killing her at that times.....And now she is at gunpoint" He added further

"Vidyut!! " He shouted hearing him.

" Don't worry I won't kill her... Because I have many jobs to do other than killing her... " He said to him while DD set up everything to trace the call and started the recording.

"What do you want? " He asked him while Vidyut smirked

"That's the spirit.. I want my weapons... That you have seized... " He said while Avni was shocked And Neil was not so suprised because he was expecting this to be an answer.

"Fine!!... I will return your weapons back... But Nothing should happens to her... " He said to him.

"That's based on how you do it.... If you try to decieve me... Then.. I have no guarantee for that poor soul... And don't waste your time in tracing this call...that will be of no use...i am using a jammer" He said to him looking at Avni smirking at her while Avni looked away. Neil shut his fist in tight hearing him and nodded negatively looking at DD.

"You have time till 6pm.." He said and about to cut the call but stopped when he spoke.

"I want to talk to her... " Neil said while Vidyut laughed and went near her and hold the phone near her

" Avni....Do you trust me? " He asked her in a soft tone while the tear which she was holding back slipped from her eyes.

"Avni... You there?.. Can you hear me? " He asked in worried as he didn't get any reply.

Avni cleared her throat as she don't want him to know that she is crying and make him worry more.

"Neil.. I trust you.... " She said as she know he won't let anything happen to her but still she is scared and her hands were literally shaking.

"I will be there soon... " He said while Before she could say he put off the call while Avni looked at him angryily.

" You should be ashamed for just telling such lie involving life of someone to make me kindnap... " She said to him while Vidyut's anger reached its peak and be just slapped her hard making blood ooze out from the corner of lips.

"Just Plaster her... I don't want to hear anything from her... "He said and left

.....

Neil reached the head office to meet the higher officials and told them everything.
Neil and the assistant Commissioner stood there in video conference with Deputy Commissioner

" Are you Mad Neil?? " He said while Neil looked at him.

"For sake of one person.. You gonna put entire village on danger?? .... You know right.. How hard it was to seize the weapons... This is the only we can make them do nothing untill we find them... " He said to him while Neil was shocked hearing him.

"Sir... How can you just take that one person's life so lightly?... She is a Doctor and moreover a human being..which is our responsibility to protect ...... If she even thought for a second not to risk her life she would have not come here... Then who would saved those people... " He literally shouted at him.

" Neil... Do you realize with whom you are speaking? " He asked him while Neil controlled himself.

"Sorry sir... I should haven't shouted at you but I am not sorry what I told... I know I am right... " He replied sternly.

"Sir we need to do something.. " Said the assistant commissioner.

Later at evening

Neil reached the spot he asked him to come in a Van with all the weapons. He already saw them who were waiting for him. He didn't Vidyut as he expected.

By seeing Neil, Ballu opened the door and pulled her out harshly. Neil looked at her while she looked at him. His heart pinched seeing her eyes which is filled with tears. She was in total mess with her hands were still tied. He can literally understand how scared she is. His eyes then caught on the wound on the corner of her lips and he gritted his teeth.

"I WARNED YOU NOT TO TOUCH HER " He shouted picking his gun in anger.

"Awaz neeche... " One of the men again pointed the gun at Avni while she shut her eyes tightly.

"Nahi.. " He said.

"Gun down! " Ballu ordered while Neil did as he told while Avni slowly opened her eyes and let out the breath she was holding. She again looked at him.

"Neil.. I am Scared! " She thought looking at him as the tears passed down.

"I am sorry for making you go through all this.. " He thought looking at her and fisted his hand tightly.

"Where is it? " He asked him while Neil's trance broken and he pointed at the Van.

While one of Vidyut's men moved towards the Van. And checked it to confirm. He then signalled Ballu conforming it. Other sets of his Man towards the Van to Pick the Box of weapons.

"Wait!!.. " Neil said while Ballu looked at him.

"The Deal should be fair... She has to come while you are taking your weapons back .... I don't believe You all.. " He said stopping them from taking it back.

"You have no other go then believing in us officer... " Ballu said smirking seeing him all helpless.

"Wow!!... I had kept my word... But Vidyut... You are doing things like a Coward... " He shouted deliberately triggering him who he knows connected in a call with Ballu. Vidyut gritted his teeth as the word 'Coward' directly hit his Ego.

Before Ballu could speak, he heard Vidyut speaking.

"Take her with you and by the side I want our things to reach us... " He ordered him.

"Okay Sir.. " He said while he hold Avni by arms with a gun and started taking her while on the side his mens moving taking the box.

He was taking slow steps so that his weapons get reached to them first.
When it reached their Car. He pushed Avni and at the right time Neil hold her in his arm.

"Avni!! " He gasped taking her name and then made her stand. He quickly untied her hands and cupped her face and his eyes filled with tears seeing her.

"Neil.. " She said and hugged him tightly in a go letting her tears passed by while he hugged her back tightly.
He then broke the hug and wiped her tears And then looked at Ballu in so much anger.

His head moved towards the right side and he hold his shirt collar.

" Saved! " He whispered in a device which he hid it under his shirt while Avni looked at him confused.

Flashback

"Sorry sir... I should haven't shouted but I am not sorry what I told... I know I am right... " He replied sternly.

"Sir we need to do something.. " Said the assistant commissioner.

"I am ready to take the Responsibility Sir....I will come back with The Doctor and the Weapons as well... " He said while they both looked at Neil.

"I am damn sure Vidyut's presence won't be there... But I promise to bring the weapons back.... If I fail... I am ready to bare any consequences...Even if it's about getting suspended" He said to him.

....

He then came back to the camp with the weapons and set a team for this mission. He gave them every instructions and was all set to excute their plan.

Flasback ends

He then looked at Avni who was hell confused.

"Don't look at anything Avni.. " He said and hid her face in his chest and picked his gun and firstly shooted at the tire of the car while Ballu was shocked and his men surrounded. Avni gasped and shut her eyes tightly hearing the gun shot.

Soon Neil's teams entered there and there goes a firing attack. Neil took her from there and hid her in safe place.

"Don't step out! " He said and about to go while she hold his hand stopping him.

"Neil.. " She said in fear while he looked at her.

"I need to go Avni....Don't worry..... And you should not come out... "He said and slowly removed her hand from his and stepped backwards looking at her and turned and ran to the spot.

Avni slid down the wall and slowly kept her hand on her chest feeling so heavy. And then immediately closed her ears with her hand hearing those sounds.

Few of Vidyut's men ran away while few were injured. He seized the weapon back along with Ballu as Neil shot on his legs.

Neil came back to Avni and saw her curled up closing her ears. He slowly went near her and hugged her gently.

"Everything is fine!... " He said slowly whispering to her while she clutched his shirt tightly lifting her face to look at him and hugged him tight again.

They then moved back while Neil went with Avni near DD who was standing near the Van.

"Sirji... " He handed the car keys to him.

He nodded taking it from him and looked at Ballu who was handcuffed and lots of blood ozzing out from his legs and he was hissing in so much Pain. Avni looked at him and his wound.

"Neil... Do you have a handkerchief? "She asked him while he looked at her confused and nodded negatively.

"Avni.. " Dd said giving him his kerchief. She picked it from him and entered the van and tied the kerchief around his leg tightly to control the bleeding while they were looking at her. Ballu was suprised when she does that. She looked at Ballu and stood up and stepped out of the Van.

"He might fall critical if there is so much blood loss... We should treat him as soon as we can.. We should take him to the camp immediately " She said looking at him and he realized that more than a Victim she is a Doctor Who couldn't even able see someone hurt even though the person harmed her and she want him to get him treated without being bias.

....

Avneil were moving in the Car while Avni was lost in her thoughts. All she could think is what happened to her. She can literally hear the sound of gun shots as like she is experiencing it again. Neil looked at her and can understand what she is undergoing right now. He hold her hand tightly while her trance got broken and she turned her face to see him who was looking at her with a worried face.

Within sometime they reached, Avni got up from the car while Sunheri and Varun ran towards her.

"Avni.. " Sunheri said seeing her while she looked at her

"Sunheri... We have a emergency!... There... " She pointed the Van while Neil came near them. Avni was about to go but stopped when everything starts getting blur and within a second she collapsed while Neil hold her at right time.

"Avni... " He was shocked seeing her state. He picked it in her arms.

"Varun.. You take care of Avni... I will take care of that emergency case ! " Sunheri and she rushed towards the Van while Neil and Varun rushed towards the Camp.

Neil placed her on the bed while Varun checked her. He stood there tensed.

" What happen to her?... Is she fine?... Why she fell unconscious all of sudden?... Did they harm her?..." He shooted Varun with Questions.

"She is stable... But she is stressed!.. Her blood pressure is also quite abnormal.. She will be fine... Let her take some rest" Varun said while Neil was only looking at her. Varun looked at him who was hell worried and then Avni and slowly left from there.

Neil sat on the stool beside her and hold her hand and kissed it. He then caressed her hair and stood up covering her fully with duvet.

After an hour or more

Neil entered the camp and found Sunheri  checking her and was aiding the wound on the corner of her lips. Sunheri looked at Neil while Avni looked at Sunheri and followed her gaze and turned to find Neil. His eyes met hers and they were looking at each other. Neil slowly entered in and moved near her . He has a envelope in his hand. Avni looked at him confused seeing his face and then she looked at the envelope.

"Hmm... Here is the list... Sunheri can you please check whether it includes everyone in the medical team? " He said giving the envelope to her. Sunheri with a confused face took that from him.

"What's that about Neil? " Avni stood up from the bed and took it from Sunheri and opened it by seeing him silent.

"You all can return back to Mumbai..." He said while both of them are shocked while Dd entered the place and sunheri looked at him while he looked away.

"What?!! " Avni asked him to prove her ears wrong.

"You heard it right!... See Avni... We were in need of Medical team that time... But not anymore... If we are then then we will surely ask help from you all... So as of now... I made a list... And I am heading to head office to make this approval..." He said while Avni tore that paper into pieces making them look at her.

"Avni... " He called her.

"We are staying here because we have an approval from our hospital to conduct the camp for benefit of the people living here...we have our authorities's approval " Sunheri said to them and glared at Dd

" Yesss...So We don't need any approval from your police team to stay here....You better understand that Neil ... " She yelled in anger.

"And You are not in need of us... Like really??... You can guarantee the safety here??... What will you do when something happens tomorrow?... To the people.. To anyone of you?.... " She asked him while Neil looked at her having no reply. Avni just looked at Dd and then Neil who stood silent. She left while Sunheri also followed her. Neil and Dd both sighed together and looked at each other.

The Next Day

At evening

Neil blocked the way of Avni when she was moving while she stopped and looked at him.

"Seriously Avni??.. From yesterday you are avoiding me... " Neil said in a annoyed tone.

"I am not avoiding anyone.. " She said and just about to move right while Neil moved right again blocking her way. He can understand that she is still angry on him for what he had done yesterday.

"Okay!!.. I am sorry... I shouldn't have said that... I just don't know what to do... I couldn't able to see you in that state... You looked terrified and I got so worried... All i could think is about sending you all away.... " He said while she looked at him and can understand how worried he was for her but she was still angry and she want him to understand her situation as well.

"Then how should I look Neil...should I looked happy?... Or should I have felt so cool feeling like a heroine who got kidnapped by the gangsters and the hero comes and saves her.... Being at gunpoint... Firing attack... Kidnapping....this can be so normal to you Neil... But not for me... Don't I have any rights to express how I feel?.... Yessss... I am terrified... I didn't want to die... At least not like that...." She said everything in a go while Neil stood silent hearing her understanding her.

" I am Sorry... " He said looking down.

"You should be!... Not for what had happened... But for what you said yesterday... " She said and about to go but he hold her hand and pulled her.

"Fine!!. What should I do to pacify you?... I will do anything.. " He said determined to make her cool down.

"You will do anything? " She asked him while he nodded.

"Then let me see ballu... " She said as he didn't allowed her to see him from yesterday. She tried asking him and everytime he denied.

"I can't do that.. " He said to her

"Then you should haven't said that in first place that you will do anything... " She said and about to go but again he stopped.

"Anything except that! "

"I don't want anything else! "

" Why you want to see him?...By the way Sunheri is his doctor...She saved him...She keeps his record...And for you kind info.. He is so much better now...."

"Why shouldn't I? "

"He may harm you "

"Then won't he harm sunheri? "

" He might not.. And Sunheri don't go alone... Whenever she goes .. She goes with DD... "

"Then come with me... " Avni has no mood to leave the argument. They were saying everything back to back, arguing like a pro.

"You want to argue on this for real?? " He asked her nodding his head in disbelief.

"You started it!... I didn't asked you to do anything for me... You asked me... If you don't wanna do... I will go... And really I don't wanna waste my time here ... " She said looking at him while Neil looked away. Avni looked at him and turned to leave.

"Fine! Let's go.. " He said and she stopped and turned to look at him who was already looking at her.

"Instead of doctor... You should have become a lawyer... You know what... You can easily make your opponent go speechless.. And that's the best job which suits you... " He said while Avni didn't react and he started moving while Avni let out a laugh of what he told and saw him moving and followed him making a stern face again.

He saw the two police men there as a guard.

"Sirji.... There is already a Doctor inside.." He said seeing Avni there while Neil nodded and they started moving in

" Sunheri and DD might be there .. " Neil said looking at her while Avni nodded.

" So should we go back? " He asked her 

"You can go if you want... "She said to him and they were arguing again still walking and they reached there.

While Avni casually looked away from Neil but was confused seeing the person.

" Who are you? " Avni asked him confused who was wearing a doctor coat and wearing a mask but Avni can tell that he is not the person from her team. Neil looked at the Person who was having knife in his hand pointing at Ballu while Ballu looked terrifed.
