Robin's POV:

I got to go through the actual trial only a week after. It was a tiring and stinky week. And now I'm gonna walk out at last. Those bitches, they never learn for good.

I recalled the conversation I had privately with Shreya yesterday evening. The plan of the prison break.

It's Devika- Devika Singh, The Sniffer Singh, who is going to interrogate you. It's not a big deal getting her to believe that you are innocent but only one problem. She has a soft corner for raped girls. I don't know how these girls brought up clear evidence, but it's a strong one against you. Well, Singh has a 16 year old daughter who was molested recently. She went on a full union territory hunt , knocked down the guy who raped her, cut off his genitilia and hung it for public display. She does this for every person who did such things. The last guy she caught committed suicide before investigation.So, be safe-that's all I can say.

Well, she has a soft corner for heart patients, because, she is one herself. So what we are gonna do is....
And she narrated the whole plan to me. I was going to become a patient.

I was so impatient right now to do the task. The guard gave the same dreadful stare at me and called out in a coarse voice, "Madamji aapko bhula rahe hein. Bhagne ko math sochna varna tumhare jeevan cheen legi"(Madam is calling you right now. Do not try to escape or else she'll take the life out of you). That kind of hit me right on my brain. I quivered a bit while the guard smirked. He locked my hands at the back with a stainless steel handcuff that had blood stains on its edges. He guided me by holding my C1 and C2 vertebrae. Now a shiver ran down my spine.

I reached the interrogation cell that stank of urine. I waited for the demanding Devika to enter. I could feel the sweat trickling down as I sat on a rusted fold chair on one side of a wooden table. The cell i sat on was hot, humd and squalid. Nervousness overwhelmed me. I heard footsteps at a distance. I could feel the heat radiating out of my body. I should get out of here.Shreya told that we can provoke Devika to hit you and we can make up to the Magistrate that this interrogation was coerced. But, frankly that would raise the eyebrows of the jury. So let's not do it. You have a molestation case filed on you. Let's play the safe way.

Momentarily, the cell door opened and Inspector Devika entered with her khaki unform that was neatly ironed crisp. She carried a file that read ROBIN in big red letters. I gulped. I had to do this perfectly.

She greeted me a good morning. I want it to be a good morning Devika, I wish you would co-operate.

"Okay. So Robin, when was the last you saw the girls?",she asked.

"I asked my Mamaji, to send his men to kidnap them at the same time and place them at the garage behind my house. I was in Goa then. I came only the next day. I met them in the afternoon, I saw them and left. I untied them myself. I know I have left them for various reasons but i never did anything to them. It's a lie!", I told her, which actually included a lie, just like Shreya wanted it to.

"Honestly, I don't believe a thing you told right now. Its a 98-2 chance right now, you know. And I have the chance to throw you back into the stealthy cell from where you came, without taking you to the trial at all. So you choose. It's all in your mindset either to lie and lose your manhood or shoot the truth and save your ass.", she roared.

"I am not lying, ma'am. I know I was a playboy. I know you judge with my no parent-no nurturing thought but NO. I would not do that to them. I left them because I didn't feel anything . I did nothing to them" , I blurted.

Third person POV:

Singh scrutinised the expression on Robin's face. She wanted that his guilt would reflect through his eye. The only expression that Robin radiated out through his eyes were the sense of utter disgust of the stench and the throbbing instinct to go out of this place. She felt pity for him. She always wanted a son to nurture. Then she saw this monster in front of her who would have probably done what many other animals do in this city of Delhi. She had mixed thoughts about him. She saw him feeling extreme discomfort. He moved his body uneasily. She wanted him to savour the essence of truth. Rich, spoilt kid.

Robin could do nothing but stare at the lady in front of him. He was uneasy and his mouth went dry. It was as if Thar Desert resided in his throat. He asked for water to drink. Singh called for that guard and he called for a prisoner who was working nearby. The prisoner took 3 whole minutes to return. Due to the scarcity of water in his body, Robin gulped every last of it to quench his parched throat.

Singh tapped on his shoulder. He seemed very uneasy. He was holding his chest struggling to breathe. His eyes were bloodshot red and he was crying out loud, losing every sense he had.

The next moment he lay down with siezures, as if he was an epileptic patient all his life.
