A/N: Important notes at the end, please do read. 

Naina woke up and looked around. She felt her arms were tied above her head while she was in a sitting position. She had no idea where she was or how she had been like this. She tried shaking her hands and see if she could perhaps free them. 

"They used Ropes along with chains, I have tried, we can't break them without something sharp," She heard Akriti's voice and looked ahead. 

Akriti was also tied up to a pole by Chains and her hands with rope. "I woke up about an hour ago, Nothing works. There are no windows, so no idea about time," Ariti continued telling her all that had happened since she woke up. 

Naina was glad that Akriti was alright. She looked around the room to see Sameera also present in the same conditions as them. 

Naina suddenly remembered that had glimpsed at Sanjana in the van carrying them here, wherever her might be.

"Where is Sanjana ?" Naina asked Akriti, her voice coming out crocked meaning she had been out for quite some time.

"I think they took Sanjana and Sargun to another room I am not sure where, but they were here for sure," Akriti informed Naina pointing towards Sargun's dupatta. 

Naina was now sure this was Lala's work, What she did not know was that Lala Gehlot had been killed off just after they had been brought to the place they were being held in. He had been betrayed by his trusted accomplice Nair, in cold blood. 

Naina racked her brain for what to do know. She was going over everything they had ever been taught at KMA. She tried reaching for her hair she was able to do so but she realized she had not clipped her open flowing hair. 

Akriti had a few bobby pins but what good would they do against a rope. Sameera gained consciousness and looked around her in disbelief and exclaimed, " Not again!"

Se saw Akriti and Naina and said, "You are here, who is going to save us this time, the last time that idiot SOB kidnapped me, You saved me, who is going to do so know?"

"Well, Sameera it was actually Gunny and Abhimanyu who lead the mission so we know your Knight in shining armor will probably be back here in a few hours along with my and Akriti's Knight as well," Naina replied with a little sass and little tease. 

"Actually I have a literal king so, no Knight for me," Akriti also sassed back. The girls all looked at each other and laughed at their own stupidy. 

Naina said with all the confidence she could muster up on her face, "They will come, we just have to be a bit patient,"

Sameera and Akriti knew this was right, They heard Sajana and Sargun's voices shouting at each other. They meant they were nearby, probably in the room next to theirs. 

"Shut up both of you, You are cadets in the Indian Army behave like it, " Akriti shouted at them and Naina chuckled at her. Both the cadets shut up immediately. 

A few seconds of silence and then, " Akriti ma'am I love you, and I miss you scolding us, and if was in your room I would give you a big hug, " Sargun voiced over her thoughts in such a child-like manner, that Naina and the girl's heart broke for the girl. 

"I would probably scold you for hugging me cadet, " Akriti replied to her. 

"Now listen carefully both of you, do you have something sharp with you and what do see in the room around you, " Naina asked them. 

Sanjana told them that they could see chairs around them and that Sargun had grabbed a knife when they were bring abducted, the girls had been fighting on how slow Sargun was working with the knife. 

Almost an hour later Sargun had managed to free herself and went to untie Sanjana. They heard someone coming so they went back to their Positions and feigned sleep. The person then left and informing someone that they were still knocked out. 

Sanjana was also free of her to restrain now so they both looked around and saw a small vent in the wall. They got up on the chairs and Sargun saw Naina Akriti and Sameera tied up lie them but all of them looking so fancy. 

Sargun threw the knife near Naina's feet and somehow Naina managed to get her hands on the nief with great difficulty. She noticed the Knots on her hand were the same knots that Major Nair had taught them once. 

She was sure that he was behind this along with Lala. 

She freed herself and gave the knife to Akriti while she herself helped Sameera in untying the knots properly. By know, they knew that it was early morning judging by the sounds of the nightingale singing. 

They all were free, they looked outside and timed the guards' rotation in the corridor which was surprisingly well maintained. That meant that Nair was in charge of the operation only someone with a military background could do such meticulous planning. In the next time frame when guards were not in the corridor Naina, Akriti and Sameera went to Sargun and Sameera's room. They saw that this room had a window and because they had no suspicion of the girls being free as of yet they could escape unnoticed. 

They jumped out the window it was a two-story drop but they were used to it, Sargun and Sanjana were a bit scared but also jumped and Sameera was caught by Akriti and Naina. 

Looking around they noticed that they were in the jungle around KMA. The area which was were Abhimanyu and Gunny had vanished from. 

Naina knew the route by heart, so they proceeded North-East. Sometime after the sun had risen in the sky and they had been traveling for almost An hour, they heard a gunshot coming from the direction they had just come from. They knew that their escape had been noticed and they increased speed. 

In their haste, they did not notice the Majors who were all in camouflage. Rajveer jumped out from a tree in front of Naina and Sargun almost screamed but Akriti stopped her. 

"Captain Naina Ah Singh, you always manage to find your ways in a forest hostage situation don't you?" Rajveer smirked at Naina in relief.

 Naina also smiled at him and replied, " What can I say, Major Shekhawat, I have had practice in these kinds of situation because you use to love getting in such trouble,"

"Is this the time to flirt?" Sargun asked her brother and simultaneously Alekh appeared out of nowhere and said, "Now is not the time to flirt."

Rummy and Gunny also joined them and told them a plan of splitting up in two groups, that way it would be difficult to track them.

Akriti looked at the two Majors along with tow captains that come to there rescue, looked at Naina and said, " See, I told you, no knight for me," Naina and Sameera laughed at that they went their separate ways. 

Rajveer heard them and replied, " Well, dear bhabhi Ji, Sadly Chahun Sahab is a king, it falls on us mere knights to save his queen, " 

Akriti blushed at Rajveer's remark and replied, " That is what I told to Naina, Jiju" she teased back and now it was Rajveer's turn to blush.

Naina, Rajveer, Sargun, Alekh, and Akriti formed one group they were coordinating with Naveen on the radio. Gunny, Sameera, Rummy, and Sanjana formed the other group coordinating with Abhimanyu. 

Naina looked at Akriti walking a little behind and asked why she was walking so slowly, Akriti replied with, " I feel like a fifth wheel here," Naina smacked her on her shoulder.

On the other hand, Sameera and Gunny were walking slowly talking in hushed whisperers, asking after each other, while Rummy and Sanjana were walking behind them feeling awkward with a newly engaged couple as if the brother of the groom and the sister of the bride had been sent along with the bride and groom for their date. The brother and sister who usually don't get along one bit.

Sameera's Lehenga got caught in trees. Rummy went ahead to help her while Gunny was steadying her from an almost fall. Rummy was about to yank the lehenga, when Sanjana all but shouted at him," Careful careful,"  

Rummy looked around at high alert for any kind of threat and asked her Sanjana, "What, what is it? "

"You will tear the lehenga sir,"  Sanjana replied to Rummy gesturing him to the lehenga. Sameera and Gunny did not know if they should laugh at Sanjana's concern for the lehenga or at the expression on Rummy's face. 

"Yahan hamari jaan be bani hui and aur tumhe lehenge ki padi hai," Rummy asked Sanjana indecorously. 

( We are in a life and death situation here and you care about me tearing the Lehenga.)

"But it's such a pretty lehenga Rummy sir, " Sanjana replied just as indecorously as if he had told her that the world was going to end. 

Rummy let go of the lehenga and muttered, "Oh my god!" he was about to shout at Sanjana, but Gunny intervened and told him that it was not the time to fight.

Soon the groups meet each other near the KMA trail and went to towards KMA. 

Another surprise or rather another shock was waiting for them there.
