Hi everyone, Be safe and happy reading!!!

"Greetings Sir!!" Mano, Jagga and Guddu saluted Raghav and Aarav, in chief's office in secret base. "Greetings, What about the task?" Raghav asked. "Mission accomplished Sir," Jagga responded. Aarav noticed bruises on Mano's arms and faces and he asked, "Officer Manisha!! These bruises?" "A...Actually Sir, Haseena Malik......she is a tough, though we had injected her but I guess mild dose wasn't enough for her and soon she gained consciousness......and in order to overpower her this happened." Mano responded. "Where is she now?" Raghav asked. "In secret cell.........sorry actually, she wasn't coming in control......so, we had tied her to the pole attached with ceiling." Guddu responded hesitatingly. "What?" both stood up shocked and Aarav added, "Come on, she is not a criminal......" "Sorry Sir!!" they responded looking down. With rolling eyes, Aarav ran towards secret cell followed by all of them.

"You don't have to come inside, dismiss!!" Raghav said stopping the three of them out of the cell, who went away saluting him. In the meantime, Aarav unlocked the door of secret cell and stepped in it utterly shocked upon seeing broken concrete posts hanging down from ceiling in which a pole should be fixed and Haseena should be tied there instead he found missing Haseena and the pole too. Before he could understand anything, someone had hit his head hardly with the wooden pole, he screamed, misbalanced a bit and was about to balance himself, when Haseena used the wooden pole in her hands and made him flipped at 360 degrees, causing him to fall on the ground on his back. It was then Raghav entered and he shouted shockingly, "Haseena Malik!!" Haseena turned around and was about to hit him but fortunately she had recognized his face. Seeing her, stopped, he at once ran towards Aarav who was lying on floor and was looking at her dumbfounded, unable to believe that a young 30 year old woman had just knocked him down- a mature strong muscled, well physiqued, secret agent of 40. "If I am not wrong you are the one who was supervising Anu in mission Jeet?" She asked shockingly. "Sir, are you alright?" Raghav asked standing him up who had a wide smile on his face. He clapped and added looking at Haseena, "Brilliant Ms Malik, Brilliant.....that move was amazing......" Haseena was looking at him confused, "Amm....Who are you? What is going on here?" she asked.

"He is chief of Intelligence organization- Aarav Khanna and I am Senior Intelligence officer-2 Raghav Shah, deputy chief of Intelligence organization." Raghav introduced themselves much to Haseena's shock which was evident on her confused face but she saluted them both, "Greetings sir!! S.H.O Haseena Malik......and I am really sorry for hitting you.....i assumed you as the one who had kidnapped me." She responded. "No need to say sorry, actually we have gotten you abducted." Aarav responded. "You sir? But Why?" she threw another question on them. Aarav looked at his curled up sleeves, concrete pieces spreaded on the floor and a broken wooden pole in her hand and then at her face, making her conscious and she added a bit embarrassed, "aa....actually....it....it wasn't that strong...." Aarav chuckled at her statement and added, "Right.....it wasn't that strong.....though that's a separate thing that many strong commando agents and criminals were unsuccessful in breaking that pole." Haseena gave him a suppressed smile while her hand clasped at her back and Raghav was fuming in jealousy seeing Aarav getting impressed by an ordinary Police officer and that too a woman. "Raghav! Do one thing get a projector arranged here only for briefing until then let me ask a few questions to her." Aarav added looking at him who saluted in response, nodding slightly and left the secret cell half-heartedly. "So, Have a seat Ms Malik." he added gesturing to his side chair. "Thank you Sir!!" responded with a professional smile. Aarav asked her a few questions about her duty and cases she is handling or had handled. A few minutes later, Raghav arrived with necessary equipments and briefing got started in a closed cubical inside secret cell.

Raghav was standing beside a big projector screen while Aarav was sitting by his side and Haseena was sitting in front of both them. He punched a key on his remote and displayed the logo of scorpion gang on the projector, "It is the logo of an International terrorist organization named Scorpion gang, they have been involved in some of the most brutal terrorist attacks of the world in top cities of the world, including London and New York, Moscow, Kauntan, Madrid, Toulouse, Kabul and the most recent one Tehran. There speciality is that they penetrate inside the first line of defence of the city so mysteriously that no agency could ever found out even about their Target until it's too late. And according to our latest Intel their Next Target is Lukhnow." "Sorry to interrupt you Sir but May I know how do you found out that their next Target is Lukhnow." Haseena interrupted his briefing. "Ms Malik, if you could be a little patient then it will be a great help for us......It's a very serious matter and we really don't want to mess it up because of the immaturity of some untrained officer," hearing his insulting words, Haseena had creased her forehead but decided to stay quiet to understand the matter and reason of Raghav's insulting behaviour towards her while Aarav was keenly observing both of them.

"So, according to Intel, There next target is India but we did not know which city so we tried to make a pattern out of their previous targets. By that we found out that, they basically target the most unique city of the target country. According to that we enlisted five cities and activated our field agents and then we got this shocking information." He added, pressed a button and showed live feed of Woman Police Station Lukhnow and Head-quarters Lukhnow making her shocked to her wits. "They had installed spy cameras and mikes in head-quarters and in your Police Station, we got this as we have hacked their systems. And how easily they managed to penetrate within city's front line defence, it clearly points out weakness and careless neglect towards duty in Police Officer's like you." He intentionally taunted him but she once again turned down his taunt by keeping her silence, making Aarav smile inwards.

"Anyways, by this we got to know that their target will be Lukhnow but now the question arises that why this and moreover why just your Police station is under their radar. And the answer to this question is this?" she added and showed some news-headlines of different national and international media articles about appraisals of Haseena's unique ways and people's increased trust on Police department for their safety and peace. "Me?" Haseena was shocked. "Yes, your so called popular methods seems to be their centre of attraction.....they seems to have started their line of action. They will keep you busy around your emotions, attacking you personally to break you and to keep you distracted until they will arrange for the required money and rdx to explode the city. Though I am not understanding that why they think that Lukhnow had no one other than you to save it." He added hitting her with his insulting words once again. "Anyways, we doubt Shalini is the real Master mind behind it. I know she is your childhood best friend and you are a woman of emotions, but we seriously had nothing to do with that. She had even put a microphone on your wrist watch too, which you would have known if you have had used some brain instead of your heart only. Not only this, because of your lose hand on your team, they could not even found out that someone had intruded in their police station.....resulting in when you had expressed your doubt on Hashim's innocence, she had get him escaped from jail by the help of these two goons, 'Raju and bittu' and then her right hand Danny had shot him to death. Such a careless Police officer you are and still we are thinking of taking you on board in this mission when clearly you failed to save an innocent life due to your nonsense emotions, your useless personal relations with your team, your feelings towards your best friend and the list is so long. The only reason for this is that since Shalini's entry in the city, she had taken over all other gangs and groups of underworld to keep our secret spies away from their plan. And in this situation we have no other choice except you. So, you Ms Malik, will increase your closeness with Shalini, make her believe that you are a corrupt money lover Police officer and gain her trust, gather proofs against her and arrest her before she will explode the city and harm innocent lives. By the way, i had never expected you to be such an incompetent and careless Police officer especially after hearing your endless appraisal from Anubhav Singh after Mission Jeet. My most competent agent who had never questioned my orders, he had accused me of false reading your personality and abilities. I wish I could tell him now, that I was right but neither I want to ruin your personal relationship with him nor am I intended to attack you personally." Raghav finally finished his extremely insulting and humiliating banter while Haseena was calmly looking at her and was thinking how such a competent secret agent like him can stoop so low while Aarav was shockingly looking at her mysteriously calm expressions knowing if it was someone else, he or she would have definitely lost control.

Haseena stood up from her chair move towards the projected screen near Raghav and added with extreme professionalism indicating towards his laptop and remote, "May I Sir?" Confused expressions, Raghav looked at her mysterious face, her forwarded hands and then towards Aarav who gave him a nod. Handing him both the things, he moved in front to listen to what she wants to say. Punching a few keys on laptop she opened a few files from her cloud storage and said displaying a picture of young 10 year old girl, "She is my friend Shalini's picture from our childhood" then she showed the picture of grown up Shalini, Raghav had just displayed and added, "She is not my friend Shalini because she had this mole on her left neck side while my real friend had no such mole and I knew that since the first time she entered in my Police Station. Secondly, she had attached a microphone on my wrist watch while leaving that night, I knew this too but I intentionally played along because I did not knew her motive. Now third and the most important point sir, I agree that my methods might be very fascinating from some but clearly targeting Lukhnow for only that uniqueness would not fulfil their ulterior motive of putting their terror in the eyes of whole world and of conquering underworld and terrorism. So, that means there is some other reason too, which we still don't know. Fourth, Shalini has been in front line from their side; planting spy camera's herself, taking the risk of showing her face to many, Danny, Raju and Bittu taking direct orders from her, and last her missing an important detail regarding the cover she is going to use.....all these things indicate that she is indeed the face of scorpions in Lukhnow but she could not be the master mind. Master mind would never take the risk of getting recognized by so many people and especially when he is famous for his mysterious planning and plotting. Moreover, if they are targeting me then, they must have done complete research about me and my methods too and in no way she would ever believe my facet of being a corrupt money-minded Police officer when she knew that creating illusions and putting dramas to catch criminals is my expertise. By all these points, I believe that now you no longer have to tolerate an incompetent and emotionally immature woman Police officer like me, in this extremely dangerous and serious mission of saving millions of innocent lives. I would be really grateful to you if you could order your officers to leave me from where they had abducted me." Haseena added enlightening those points, they had clearly missed, without insulting him back and clearly showing him that he is behaving immature not she.

"I must say, Ms Malik, you are indeed a genius, but I still want you to be a part of this mission." Aarav added while Raghav was fuming in anger. "Pardon me Sir, but I cannot be a part of this mission." Her words had shocked Aarav but angered Raghav more. He added once again, "Oh, which means you are not only incompetent but coward too. You are frightened of losing your life and your loved one's trust on you.....you are a weak emotional woman." "Enough of this Raghav Sir, you are a senior officer and until now I was silent because of your seniority but now, I need to warn you that stop insulting woman especially female cops or else you will lose your position because a woman can be stronger than men in terms of physical and emotional strength," She chided him. "Look, Raghav please keep your personal opinions to you only and Haseena, I want you in this mission and since you are new to secret services and all so you had to complete this mission under Raghav's supervision. He is an expert in such cases." Aarav intervened in their cat fight hearing which Raghav had given a smirking look to her as he not only want to avenge the insult he had felt because of Anubhav's questions and accusations but also being an egoistic successful secret agent he cannot tolerate a woman getting praised parallel to him.

"If you think that I must be a part of this mission then i am ready but on a condition." She added keenly observing their facial expressions and thinking once again if she should take such a big a step for the dignity of many female cops out there who daily gets tortured of being considered low and less competent than male cops or she should just let it go because of the fear of being insulted. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath and then said which she felt the most right at that time, "I challenge you Raghav Sir that you and your chosen one best agents, beat me in an all-round training competition designed by Aarav sir. If any one of your agents would have won then I will take your orders in this mission but if I would have won then you would no longer be a part of this mission and I will take direct orders from Aarav Sir." Her words sucked the wind out of two and in no time Raghav started laughing at her ridiculous challenge while Aarav was too shocked to react. "Ms Malik, do you really understand what you had just said?" Aarav asked her shockingly. "Sir, Haseena Malik never makes any decision in haste and I am not at all joking, any sort of competition with any number of competitors." She repeated her words and this time Raghav got serious too seeing her seriousness and he agreed, "I am ready Sir." "Good then, in next two days...." Aarav confirmed. "One more request, Sir, I want to keep my identity a secret from all your agents and staffs.....i will take part in this, with mask." She requested perfectly concealing her raising blood pressure and nervousness under her calm face and he agreed.
