A/N : Hello people! I'm back hope you enjoy this update. Took a lot to write it.

For the next 3 hours Viraj and his team hatched up a full proof plan to catch that bastard. They made sure that there were no loop holes. Viraj has to protect his team as well, even if it's at the cost of his life. Javid might be 18 only but he's very dangerous. Keeping all the points in mind Viraj and his team got ready in their uniforms, loaded with all the weapons and backups that were necessary.

Viraj hollered for his team to gather so that he could go over the plan once again. "Listen carefully team! I have selected the best of best for this mission. Everyone stick to their plans and I want no mistakes. Worst case scenario if something does go wrong you will alert me immediately and plan B shall be initiated. Am I clear?" Viraj asked them with a commanding voice. His team replied with a "YES SIR!!!" Viraj had a lethal look on his face but nodded satisfied with the response.

"Good enough! Siddharth, Akhil, Veena and Sahil you four will be going with the bomb squad to all the market places like we decided before. I am stressing on this once again. I want no mistakes. Be alert at all times and our main priority: No civilians should be harmed in any way." The four of them were lined up in front of him with their heads held up high and hands behind their backs. Their expressions were stoic and they nodded their heads with another course of "Yes Sir's!!!" flying in the air.

They were aware of the consequences in case they didn't follow so they had to be extra careful and cautious. "Well you know the rest of the plan. Stick to it, do not improvise!!! Meanwhile Neel, Arjun and I are going to catch that asshole and rescue the civilians he has captured." Neel and Arjun stood straight and nodded their heads. "As of now go and get ready for this mission." They nodded their heads and saluted Viraj and scrambled off to get ready.

Arjun moved towards the computer when he heard a ping on it. He frowned staring at the pc and called Viraj asking him to take a look at it. Viraj frowned as well and walked towards Arjun. "You were right all of them are related. This Javid, Amar and Aman, Bassim and of course the last unknown suspect who's apparently controlling the strings of these bastards." Viraj scrolled with the through the page and was shocked reading the information.

"What the fuck? Amar, Aman and Bassim were put in the same prison on a fucking island? What is this island?" Arjun sighed and tried to search more about this island. Meanwhile Neel did the same thing. "Oh fuck this is insane and scary you guys come here. You have to see this!!!" Arjun and Viraj sprinted towards him and hovered behind his system.

Their eyes widened with shock. "What in the world??? Isn't this the prison for the most lethal and psychotic criminals that is located somewhere in the Arabian sea?" Viraj asked and Neel nodded his head. " Not only that, I am willing to bet these might be the same group that the American spies are trying to find. Look can you see that snake tattoo on their arms." Viraj squinted his eyes as he zoomed the picture of Bassim's hand.

Indeed there was a snake tattoo on his hand, he had see the same tattoo on all of those men who he and his team had captured and eliminated. " Look at this one of the articles written by a FBI officer. He says the name of this group is called Venom and they indulge in all kinds of activities. Their main aim is to spread terrorism. Not only that they had captured 3 of them almost 20 years ago but after about 10 years ago they had escaped and changed their names."

Things were starting to make sense now. "So it would be safe to assume that Bassim, Amar and Aman were the ones who had escaped. Javid is obviously a new addition. Amar and Aman for sure since they have the same snake tattoo on them. All of this connects perfectly. What about the fourth person? Was there anyone else who escaped with them?"

Neel browsed through more confidential information but came up with nothing. "Nope only these three had escaped that day 10 or so years ago." Viraj and Arjun let out a sigh of disappointment. " Well al least most of it makes sense now. Once we find that boss I think this world will be a better place to live." His friends nodded their head agreeing with his point.

"Okay then we still have about 45 minutes before we leave why don't you guys go sort out everything." Neel and Arjun nodded their heads with a sigh and went away to their respective tents. Viraj rubbed his face in frustration and looked at the letter in his hands with a huge sigh. It was a letter that he had written to Naina and will be given to her with the rest of his belongings in case anything happens to him.

It wasn't mandatory but he could never leave her without giving her his last words. Before he meet Naina Viraj had no one who meant the world to him but he had seen Neel and Arjun do the same. They already had a bunch of letters in their trunks addressed to their respective wives. All of this felt much more real as this was the first time happening with Viraj.

This letter was for just in case. He written how much he loved Naina and how sorry he was that he couldn't tell her that in person. In case this letter reaches her he wants her to move on and find someone else who is worthy enough for her. All of this is very heart breaking but it was necessary. He had also written one for Veer. With a heavy heart he decided to keep it in his trunk.

He walked back to his tent and keep the letters under a stack of his clothes. At the entrance of the trunk he could hear Neel and Arjun assuring their respective wives. Viraj quickly discarded his current uniform and wore a black T shirt that had the emblem of India flag on the sleeves and put on his bullet proof jacket.

He sat on the cot and contemplated whether on not to call Naina. Just when had convinced himself to not call her his phone started ringing and he was shocked to see that it was none other than Naina calling him. What shocked him more was the fact that it was almost 2 in the morning and Naina was awake moreover he was perplexed that there was network.

On the other side Naina had been restless since she had spoken to Viraj. It almost felt like something terrible was going to happen to him and her stomach was in knots the whole time. She had even skipped her dinner. She tried to read when that didn't work she tried to watch a funny movie but still no luck. She tried calling Viraj as he was the only one who could put her mind at ease but unfortunately he was out of reach.

She exited her room and walked towards the toddler's room and peeked inside for Veer, he was only one who had been keeping her sane since Viraj had left. The teachers and some of the older kids were still eating. She strolled towards his bed on the tip of her toes as she didn't want to wake up the other kids. She has no idea how he had agreed to sleep here but now she needed him.

"Veer get up sweet boy!" Naina shook his arms slowly and smiled at the cute way he stretched his tiny body and let out a cute yawn. He rubbed his eyes and sat up trying to blink his eyes open. His face lit up when he realized it was none other than his Nea who had woken him up. "Nea!" Veer squealed and jumped at Naina and buried his face in her neck.

Naina chuckled quietly and shushed him. She finally felt at ease, not completely but just a little. She rubbed his back and breathed his scent which calmed her down immensely. "Veer do you want to sleep next to me?" Veer moved away and his face lit up like a light bulb and he nodded his head enthusiastically. Naina chuckled at his response and carried him towards her room. Veer hugged his Nea tightly and laid his head in her shoulder.

Naina placed him on her bed and slid down next to him. She kissed his chubby cheeks making him giggle and hugged him tightly towards her chest. Veer and Naina fell asleep within minutes. Somewhere in the middle of the night Naina opened her eyes and sat up with a jerk. She glanced next to her making sure Veer was there with her. She sighed when she looked at his cute face. She tucked the blanket around him snuggly and kissed his forehead.

Naina was sweating profusely and had a gut feeling that something bad is going to happen to Viraj. Naina patted her nightstand until she found her phone. It was 2 in the morning. After contemplating for about 5 minutes she decided to call Viraj. She knew the chances of her call getting connected were very slim but she was willing to take the risk.

She jumped out of her bed and left the room as she didn't want to disturb Veer or Lisa who were sleeping. She wore a jacket and sat down on the steps near her room. "God please make him answer my call. I love him and I want to know if he's safe. Please Please let him be safe!" She prayed to the almighty and dialed the number through which Viraj had contacted her previously.

"Please pick up!" Naina chanted over and over again. Viraj finally answered the call before it got disconnected. " Naina? What happened? Why aren't you asleep?" Naina let out a shaky breath and tears streamed down her eyes. She glanced at the sky with tear glistening her face and thanked the lord. Only if she knew he was about to leave for a mission in a few minutes.

Viraj's heart broke listening to her sob. "Baby what's wrong?" Naina laughed lightly not even caring that he had just called her baby. "Are you okay?" Viraj smiled sadly and shook his head. He assumed Naina's had some weird gut feeling. "I am absolutely fine." Naina sighed in relief and wiped her tears. She knew he was fine for now but something was amiss. "Are you leaving on a mission?" Viraj sighed, no point in hiding it from her.

"Yes in another 20 minutes or so I have to go. Nothing will happen to me Naina. Trust me I have been doing this for years sweetheart." Naina cringed at that. "Ugh don't call me that!" She exclaimed cutely making Viraj laugh. At least she's not crying Viraj rejoiced in his mind. " I don't want to brag but your boyfriend's kind of a pro when it comes to these things." Viraj exclaimed tring to cheer Naina up.

Naina let out a laugh and let out a small okay. "I want to tell you something! How much more time do you have?" Viraj looked at his wrist watch. "Tell me Naina I have time before we have to leave." He approximately had 15 minutes. Naina took a deep breath. She knew this was not how she wanted to confess his feelings for him but as of now she wants him to know how much he means to her.

She wants him to know how much she loves him and that he better not get hurt. She encouraged herself mentally. " Now or never Naina!" She whispered to herself. Viraj frowned when he didn't hear Naina for a minute. "Naina are you there?" He asked her hesitantly. Naina took a deep breath and gulped. " Yeah I am right here Viraj!" She told him with a shaky voice.

"So what do you want to tell me?" Viraj was curious to know what was going on in his girlfriend's mind. "Naina out with it before the network glitches! It's a miracle that you were able to call me!" Naina sighed and closed her eyes. She screamed into her phone. "I love you Viraj please be safe and come back to me as soon as possible!" She ranted out quickly holding her breath and closed her eyes tightly waiting for his reply. She could hear the sound of her heart pounding.

Viraj's heart stop beating for a minute. His mind could not even comprehend the fact that Naina had confessed her feelings to him. He gulped his throat, Naina was tapping her feet waiting for his response. "Viraj!!!! Say something before I loose my mind!!!" She screeched at him. Viraj snapped out of his thoughts and cleared his throat.

His lips tugged into a huge grin and his eyes brimmed with tears. Naina kind of spoiled his plans of confessing his love to her in a special way. "Say it again!" Naina let out an irritated sigh and screeched into the phone once again. "Oh god why are you doing this to me?!!? I said I love you, you doofus!!! Are you going to say it back or not?? Cause I'm going to have a heart attack any minute now!!!"

Viraj let out a huge laughter while Naina sighed on the other side. Viraj thought this was a great story to tell their grand kids. "VIRAJ!!!" Naina once again screamed. "Okay chill out. I love you too my baby!" Viraj exclaimed making Naina giggle like a school girl. The way he said it made her heart into a pool of goo. Except for the baby part she was willing to let that go for now.

"Say it again!" She asked him excitedly with tears of joy. Viraj's heart soared and he was more confident than ever. "I love you with everything in me Miss Naina Rao!" Naina cried into the phone with joy. How Viraj wished he was with her at this very moment. He would have hugged and kissed the life out of her only if she was in front of him at this very moment.

Just then Neel and Arjun barged into his tent and remined him that it was time to leave. Viraj asked them to give him a minute and pointed at his phone. They smiled and left to give him some privacy. "Naina I need to go now. I still can't believe it's you who confessed first. I love you and I promise I will be safe and come back to you and Veer soon. Take care!" He cut the call before Naina could reply.

Naina let out a cry when she heard the dial tone. She sobbed into her hands and tried to cover her mouth. She prayed to god hoping he'll be safe. Viraj cut the call before he could hear her heart wrenching cries. Arjun and Neel had over heard his conversation. Arjun texted Annie immediately to go check on Naina.

Viraj came out of his tent with a stioc expression. It was time for him to bury all these emotions and protect his country. His team had gathered and he gave them another pep talk and warned them for the nth time to stick to their plan. Javid had no clue that Viraj knew about the bomb blasts.

Somewhere in a dainty and a dark looking place. Javid snickered and felt his chest swell up with pride when Colonel Bakshi had contacted him with a deal. He felt like he was on top of the world. He agreed to it but not before reminding them that he's the boss. Viraj pinned him down and tracked his call.

He was planning on going and catching him at his own place. Bastard was too cocky and full of ego. Sure he had the fire but unfortunately he's not a good planner. Officer Bakshi gave them the green signal and the group split and drove towards their respected locations. Alpha, Beta and Gamma were back in action. Viraj navigated Arjun towards Javid's location and Neel was getting all the guns loaded up he knew that there was definitely going to be some firing.

Meanwhile some 1000 miles away from Viraj Naina was still sobbing. Just then she felt someone's hand on her shoulder. She turned and saw Annie smiling at her sympathetically through her tears. Annie's heart tugged looking at Naina. She remembered the first time Arjun had to leave and how she was in state worse than Naina was.

Naina got up and hugged Annie and sobbed against her shoulders. "Annie I confessed that I love him. I thought it would be the right time but now I feel even more pain. I just want him to be safe." Annie sighed and rubbed Naina's back soothingly. "Naina you have to be strong! I know first times are always the hardest. Trust me Viraj is an amazing soldier and the three of them together are unbeatable! They're track record is splendid! So don't think about it too much. There's always a chance but we need to think positive okay?"

Naina broke the hug and nodded her head hiccuping trying to bring her breathing back to normal. " I love him Annie!" Naina declared with a laugh. She wanted everyone in this world to know that. She wanted to scream it from the mountain tops. Annie laughed and nodded her head. "I'm so happy for the both of you! You guys are perfect for each other! Okay so I'll head home now and I'll see you in the morning. Come over to the bakery with Veer. I might need some help plus I want to spend some time with that cute little monster. Bring him alright?" Naina nodded her head and bid Annie goodbye.

She sighed and walked to towards her room. Unknown to both of them Sister Brenda had heard their conversation. She had actually come on her rounds and was heart broken to find Naina sobbing just when she was about to console her Annie stepped in. She thanked the Lord that Naina and Viraj had found each other. She too prayed that Viraj should return home safely. Naina laid down beside Veer and hugged him towards he chest falling into deep slumber.

Meanwhile Viraj, Arjun and Neel had finally reached their destination. According to Javid's instructions they were supposed to meet him after an hour but who's following any sort of rules here. Some times in order to catch a criminal you have to think like one. The place appeared to have been assaulted a million times before.

It looked like an horrible shed. Huge mean looking men patrolled the shed. They had snipers and huge AK-47's with them. Viraj and his team peeked through the bushes. Neel scanned the surroundings with his thermal binoculars. The place had the stench of gunpowder. It smelled like a place where dangerous weapons were built.

Neel signed with his hands to Arjun and Viraj as to how many men were there and also their altitudes. Viraj signed that they have to shoot these bastards together. "Remember together!" The three of them attached a silencer to their gun and fired after a count of 3. They silently killed all the men who were guarding the shed.

Almost 10 members were shot dead. They dragged the bodies and piled it up in a corner. Viraj searched through one of the bodies trying to find the key. He found it and they unlocked the shed. A terrible stench hit their noses when they entered the shed causing all the three of them to gag. It almost smelled like rotting flesh.

Lucky for them they had masks with them, so they covered their noses immediately. The shed looked bigger than it appeared. They spilt up to search the area throughly. According to Javid Bassim was supposed to be here but Viraj denied bringing him here. He knew this was a dangerous game but it had to be played.

He checked the GPS again and it showed that the bastard was only a few rooms away. "Alpha the people are safe do you copy? They're safe, we found them!" Viraj sighed in relief. "Good! Call for the rescue team immediately!" He commanded into the ear piece. "On it!" Neel replied and called the rescue team.

There were more men in the hallway towards the room. He killed them without any sound and with precision. He found the room again and kicked it open with his leg and pointed the gun towards Javid who looked perplexed at first but later snarled at Viraj. "Guess it time to go back to your favourite place huh!!!" Viraj asked him go get down from the table and put his hands up in the air.

He obliged but with reluctance. "You think you're very smart huh Javid!" Viraj pulled the glock and pointed it towards Javid who once again snarled at him. "You should know that I have been in this game for far more years than you have kid!" Javid was about to pounce on Viraj when he once again pointed the gun at him causing him to back away immediately.

"Where is Bassim Bhai??!!?" He growled. Viraj let out a sinister laugh and clicked his tounge. "He's where he should be! Don't worry about that!" Javid glared at Viraj. He knew his game was over and the only way to make this wrong right was to press the button that had a bomb attached to one of the most prestigious schools.

He smirked at Viraj making him look at him suspiciously. "What are you up to?" Javid smirked at moved behind and clicked the button before Viraj could stop him. Viraj punched him in the gut and asked him once again what he had done. Javid spat blood out of his mouth and let out a sinister laugh. "Well the bomb in one of the prestigious schools has been activated! Sure you she's these civilians but what about those kids! Boom! All gone!"

Javid laughed once again aggravating Viraj to no end. Just then Arjun and Neel entered the room. Viraj quickly explained the situation and left the place. On the way he had asked his team mates if they had dismantled all the bombs in the market and school places.

"Sir one more school left to check!" Viraj accelerated his jeep and cursed under his breath. "Fine get to the school now! He has already activated the bomb we need to get there as soon as possible!!!" He screamed into the ear piece and drove super fast towards the school.

His team had reached the spot too. All 5 of them carried a bomb detector and scanned the entire area. Viraj's detector beeped near the ground floor. The principal was continuously shouting at them but once they explained the situation everything calmed down.

"Shail try cutting that blue wire!" Viraj commanded and pulled out a wire with his teeth. "I'm not sure if that'll work sir! We have 2 minutes more if it fails then the bomb will blast!" Viraj glared at him and asked to do so. It's usually the blue one that stops the timer.

The rest of his team were busy in evacuating the children and made sure no one panicked. "Shail do it damit! We have less than a minute left!" Shail closed his eyes and prayed and cut the blue wire. Viraj was sweating profusely.

The minute turned into seconds and it made a beeping noise as the timer came to a halt. Viraj let out a huge sigh of relief when it didn't blast. The rest of his team cheered. He informed Officer Bakshi, Neel and Arjun immediately. The situation was under control for now. Arjun injected a tranquilizer into a very shocked Javid.

The mission was successfully completed. None of the civilians were harmed and Viraj's team members were safe as well. A few miles away a scary looking man screamed with frustration and shot A few of his men.
