Shiva's Pov

Someone's shouting, Superman. But without turning back I know whose voice is that. I turned back

That little pie run towards me. I lifted her she kissed me. This feelings I don't know how to express buttt....... I loved it more than anything

From no where one girl jumped infront me. She's in early twenties. Not only me Adi also startled at her behaviour.

What the..! Before he complete I shut him

That girl looked at him annoyingly. Something's fishy. Suddenly she turned towards me. But her face hold lot of emotions. Tears formed in her eye but she hold it. I can sense it already but why?? Is she know me before?? My thoughts cut by her voice.

Hello mam.... Sorry sir. I'm Neha Your colleague Navy's Sister, She said looking at Navya.

Hello I'm Shiva, I said with smile

Pari you are cheating you don't even looked at me after you saw your superman, Neha looking at her.

So her name is Pari. Niz one , i thought Pari was in my arms. She's giving her mischievous look

Chithi..., pari said showing teeth. I was dumbstruck. That means Navya.... Is her mother?? Navya came towards us.

Maaaa, he is my superman, Pari said with much happiness. But I was hell shocked after hearing her word maa? But why I'm shocked I don't know. Navya nodded at me.

What maa?? Adi literally shouted with wide opened mouth

Why are you shouting like this? did you thought to flirt with her? Neha asked annoyingly. Adi looked at her keenly

What if I said yes? Adi asked. We all are looking at them with wide open mouth

Don't dare to do that. If my mama .. I mean Pari's father comes to know about this then he surely pulled out your eyes, She said like warning.

Aditya what are you doing? Leave it, Arjun said annoyingly.

Before he said anything Pari said, Grandma. We all are looking at the direction where she faced. It's our chief. This time all are shocked

Please don't tell me Chief is your parent or in law, Riya blurted out

It's not like that Riya. When I had Pari I worked under Chief. Due to some situations she looked after Pari when she was born. Our chief asked her to call Grandma. That's all, Navya said looking at us

Our chief took Pari from me. They're literally playing with her. Seriously this is my first time to see her like this side to be honest she's very strict to be exact like a Hitler but now I can't even believe my own eyes. All are same like me except Navya and her Sister

We booked two apartments one is at 5th and other's 7th. From tomorrow itself your job start. Next 1 year You're a team. So make sure to protect each other. So guys all the best. do your best make me proud of my kids, she ordered

Yes mam, we all obeyed. After some talks Chief left us.

We all went our apartment. We three me, Adi and Arjun choose 7th floor. There's big veranda other side kitchen with dining hall. Three Bedroom apartment with attached bathroom. Simply well furnished and spacious. My room is the last one. I went to Balcony which is placed inside my room. I called my mom looking at Bangalore city. After some talk I cut the call. That's when I looked at Pari. With her mom and Neha. Theirs apartment balcony is left to mine I can clearly see them. May be that's their room. I don't know what they're talking but all are happy mainly Navya she looked content when group hugged. I left from there after that scene.

Neha's Pov

I was much suprised and joyful for my sis decision. Thank God she did than. I'm very emotional to see my mama(akka husband). But that idiot annoyed me lot. I'll show who I'm. I went to Balcony where my angel and sister were talking something . I'm sure its about superman. I smiled at them. Pari went to restroom

So at last you used your brain sis, I said. She rolled her eyes.

Seriously I'm very much happy for your decision. You're right this time so don't dare to get back, I said. She nodded her head.

And you don't dare to do anything. Let's see what life hold for me. Don't interrupt. Otherwise I left from this country where you can't find, she threatened me. But I'm sure she's serious

Don't worry sis. I'm sure God will hear my wish , I said and hugged. Pari run towards us and she hugged us. They went to hall.

Wait and see sis. I'm not going to hear your blabber this time. It's my promise I'll make you live with my mama and Pari with all the happiness. I never back off from this, I thought. I called my dad.

Dad I want......., After I talked with my dad.  I started my first move. Went to the room and sleep with my ladies.

Next morning

I hold Pari went towards to lift talking with Riya. Thank God she's interesting. We're easily mingled as both are choose same field. We waited for lift. The door opened i smiled at my mama with ear to ear. I'm sure he thinks I'm mad or something for my behaviour. We went inside. Mama lifted Pari in his arms and started to talk with her. Adi looked annoying at me and I reciprocated it. That Arjun he's add one out. I don't know in which category he's in. I liked this father and daughter combo more I looked at them through side mirror. In 3rd floor another couple joined us. They're in their late fifties may be.

Pari called that man poking her finger. He looked back at Pari

You have dust on your left shoulder, she said smilingly and showed him

He adjusted after that he looked at her.

What your name cutie? That uncle asked

I'm pari ...., She hesitated as she don't how to called him. I think he understood that

Call me grandpa Pari I'm Raj, he said to her smilingly. She reciprocate it

Your daughter is looking like an angel, he said looking at mama. Shock is single word to describe how others are looked at them. Atlast Adi burst out.

She's not his. she's our colleague daughter, Arjun said little soundly I don't why he's reacted like this.

Oh sorry, she looked like h..., Before he completed her sentence. That lady with this uncle I think it's her wife called him

Raj, leave it, she said. Looked at her. Where is your mom Pari? She asked her sweetly

My mom has claustro..phobia Aunty. So she take stairs, Pari said

She's my wife so you can call her grandma. She's too much aged to called her aunty, That uncle said. His wife shooting dragger on him.

Atlast we came to floor they bid themselves from Pari and nodded at us. We waited for my sis

Hey what are you doing here. Even Navya is your sister you can't stay with her. This appartment for our official use not guesthouse, Adi started the fighting

I know that you can shut, she bickered back at him.

One man walked towards me and said, mam we arranged your appartment perfectly if you have any complaint then call us. I nodded at him and smirked at Adi. He give the key of my apartment and left

So your doubt is cleared right. I stayed in this apartment on 3rd floor not on your official apartment. Did you get it, I said back with victory smile

Wow how can you get place here that too in a single night? Riya asked me

A single call to my dad, I said

Then confirm, Adi said looked at me

What? I asked

A rich spoilt brat, he said. Before I said something Mama stopped him

Adi why are you irritating her. Just shop yaar, he said. I looked at my mama warmly he always like this to me. I show my tongue to that idiot. My sis come there

So guys come let's go to single car as we all go to same place, Riya said

I don't want, Arjun yelled. I don't know what his problem from the start.

I don't asked you, she said back.Now I understand that they're already got annoyed with each other.. Arjun left to his car and waited for someone. I think for mama.

Neha take care of you from this naughty one, my akka said.

Don't worry akka I'll take care of her, I said without thinking. Now itself I understand her words. I looked at Adi he laughed making me more angry

Akka, I shouted but she don't even budge and looked at Pari who is in Mama arms.

Be a good girl Pari. Don't give hard time to chithi, She said. Pari gives her favourite smile. Seeing these three infront of me make me feel heaven.

At last mama left her down and patted on cheeks. And left with Adi and Arjun. And my sis and Riya left with their car. Me and Pari waved our hands to them.

At office

Riya Pov

We reached at 9.30. Shiva asked Adi to prepare for our first case we to searched about it too

At 11 we all gathered before a projector. Adi started to explain our first case.

So guys this case is happened in last three month there's 4 murdered. Seriously guys believe me it's clearly planned one.
* First murdered happened in Jan 22,  Narayanan age 53, ABC college watchman he died after taking the drug and slit his throat. There's no evidence so police close this case as sucide.
*Second one on Feb 6, Dhilip Sharma age 22, he's doing MBA in ABC college and he died in the same way like that watchman in his hostel room.
*Third one on March 8, Geetha age 50, She's the one of the professor of that college and died same like them. But the most fascinating things is she died a day before her daughter's wedding
* Last one on March 23, Sanjay age22, he's ME student in that college and he died in that same way. He's a home minister son so you guys can understand why this case is pressurable. That's all no other clues nothing, Adi explained everything with their pictures on screen

So the most common factor is the murder pattern and they're in same college..., Shiva said and Adi nodded

What about the drugs? Navya asked

It's clozapine highly dangerous enough to kill and it's not easily accessible one. I'm  sure Murderer tried very hard to get that, Arjun said

If it's dangerous enough to kill anyone then what's a need for slit? I asked my doubt

I think its something personal to him. May be if we find that reason it's easy to solve this case, Navya said. We all nodded

So guys let's start our first case. Adi you hacked into their social media and contacts. Try to find their connection other than their College. There's definitely something common with them. Arjun try to met forensic doctor who examined their body we can get some clue from that. Navya...., Shiva stopped and looked at her. I can't read his emotions but Navya there's quick happiness but it's vanished in seconds. Arjun too looked at Shiva keenly. May be I'm overthinking

Navya look at the CCTV in the time of their death, he said and she nodded

Riya and me went to their College. Everything's start from there, he said

Moreover guys nothing is more important than your life. Safety comes first. Don't jump into anything. Let's live and catch that murderer, Shiva said in a cheerful way

You too sir, Me and Adi said in unison. Adi saluted him in funny way. We all smiled left to start our first mission

At evening

Everyone gathered it's 6 already. Exhausted is simple word to describe my condition. Everyone is same like me.

I went to met the forensic doctor but he is on leave. I go through their reports it's not 100% clozapine. Also their slit on their throat is more than perfect which says he's someone from medical field. I have some doubt but I'll tell clearly after I clarify it, Arjun said in his serious tone. We nodded

I looked at that watchman and Dhilip. That watchman Narayanan visit three places only college, his home and bar. He's complete alcoholic. His murdered happened in third rate bar there's no CCTV at all. And Dhilip he rarely visit his home. Only places he gone was college, library and hostel. His murdered happened in hostel that too in his room, there's no CCTV in his floor. I looked for hostel maingate and backside CCTV it's didn't record anything on that day it's surely handled by murderer. So I looked around the CCTV of the places before and after death but nothing is suspicious. I'll look more, Navya said

As Navya said that watchman is alcohol addict he don't even know anything about social media and there's merely five he used to contact through his phone and they're not suspicious. That Dhilip I don't know why Murderer choosed him. He's college topper. For him everything was studies. He rarely have contact with his family I go through his contact from last 1 month to be truth it's very easy because he only contacted with his professors and topper students, Adi said

From our side nothing to say. That Watchman never interfere with others same goes to Dhilip. No one is really care about that watchman. But Dhilip is not like him he's famous among his classmate because of his marks. All professor were literally surprised of his mark. They all say same thing for him Nothing is important more than studies. That lady professor she's neither strict nor friendly. Students have a respect for her that all. And Sanjay he's complete Playboy material. Rich spoilt brat is best word to describe about him nothing more. One more important thing they don't have any connection between them.. that's all we get to know about them, Shiva said looking at me and I nodded.

Anyway good work guys. Let get rest, Shiva said. We smiled

Okay come to our home sharply at 8 for dinner, Navya said

You order it or cook it? Adi asked

Hmmm... Latter one, she said in funny way

Then I'm in, he said before she completed it

It's okay Navya we can manage. Don't stress yourself more you're already looking tired, Arjun said in geniune way.

Woah look at him he know how to talk that too this much long, i thought

It's nothing like that. I'll going to cook for us three more person adding is not definitely give me a trouble. Also we're a team so we have to take care that's final you guys are coming, she ordered.

So she's not a silent one, i thought

It's just..., Arjun is cut by Adi

Arjun we never so no to food. This is what my mom said always. Beleive me it's true I'm get punished for that. It's become so long to taste a home food. So just accept her, Adi grinned

No more discussion that's final. Don't expect me more I'm not good cook, she said.

That's no problem Navi, Adi winked. She smiled. Arjun and Shiva looked at them amazed there expression just said Drama queen

Let me help you for groceries let's go, Adi said with left with Navya.

I have a good feelings about this team I don't know why. May be because of their care, I thought and left with my car
