"Monamiii!" five of us screamed in horror as we saw Monami hit the ground, being on her knees as the white flooring of marbles were now coloured in the deep shades of red.

While Ayaan Rai Singhania had the victorious smirk on his face, as he spoke up with a malicious smile, "Game over Cadet Doctor Monami Juhi Mahajan. Mera badla finally pura hoga, tumse aur tumhari so called maa, Captain Doctor Juhi Mahajan se!"

While all of us were struggling with the tied hands, and in these few seconds I could just see the restlessness which was washed over Karan and Siddharth's face, as they struggled to untie the ropes, still being at the hostage while Koel and Sanju watched helplessly with an angered expression, as they were in a similar situations like ours.

But before any of us could proceed to make any attempt of helping Monami, without wasting another moment, ARS aimed his gun at the half-conscious Monami, who was still on her knees as the sound of firing of bullet echoed in the Blue Paradise.

And, for a moment all our heartbeats stopped with the sight infront of us, as all of us dropped on our knees as the blood was spluttered all over Monami and the floor.

While I could just recall the unfortunate events...

45 Minutes Ago

"Left side, room no. 204. That's the security room, no guards but cameras, I will freeze them, lekin aapko voh corridor 20 seconds mein cross krna hai, Sid informed us through the earpiece.

While I and Ajeet Sir shot a look to eachother as we sneaked behind the wall, preparing for the runway.

"Copy that." Ajeet Sir responded.

The mission had picked up it's pace 2 hours back while it's 2200 hours right now, while the whole day we were moving around Blue Paradise in disguise to analyse the loop holes and look out for clues.

We had been in splits for the mission to go on a smoother pace until it's really required to get into a physical fight, and the reason is real valid because it's better if we can make out without any injuries or death.

My trance of thoughts broke as I heard Sid back counting, "3...2...1! Run!"

As soon we heard Sid, I and Ajeet Sir made the run for the door which was across the corridor, as we rushed pass the Security room quite sneakily in order to avoid unnecessary attention, when we heard him in our earpiece, "Jaldi, 7 seconds!"

As soon we heard him, we sped up, as we took the right turn and entered the nearest green room.

"Hum green room mein hain. Baaki sab?" I interrogated.

"Karan aur Sanju hall mein hain, Rishabh Sir unse connect kr rahe hain, Gunjan ma'am aur Monu ladkiyon ko dhoond rahe hain and lastly, Koo aur Anubhav Sir, es same corridor mein hain filal, voh Yash aur team ko dhoond rahe hain." Sid elaborated when we heard footsteps approaching us.

Ajeet Sir glanced at me, as he ducked down under the table, as he positioned himself with the gun in his hands, as I slided next to the door, keeping my hand on the knob.

The sound of footsteps stopped, as the person tried to open the door and I swiftly let him or them in, still behind the door as 6 people stepped inside and started to look around, while I closed the door, gaining their attention.

As they aimed their gun at me, but I remained unaffected while I warned them, "Guns down."

They didn't answered instead fire a bullet at me which went just by my side, not harming me as my peace sign went off as I aimed my gun at the same man who tried to shot me, and fired on him, as the bullet passed through his hand, making him groan in hand.

The other 5 people, instantly went to an alert as they aimed at me, but Ajeet Sir shot another man on his leg, while the firing game began.

We made sure to shoot them in such a way, that they are not killed and just disarmed while the five men were already down.

Ajeet Sir went to the sixth man while putting the gun back around his waist belt, as he tried to persuade him and spoke up, "Tum es sab se bach sakte ho, bas mujhe mere saathiyon ki information chahiye aur main vaada krta hoon ki tumhari safety ki zimmedari meri hogi...."

The man looked quite convinced as I tried coax him, "Tumhare ek statement se tum es sabse azaad hosakte ho, hume bas ARS ko pakadna hai aur tum jiske liye kaam kr rhe ho, usse koi parvah nahi hai tumhari jaan ki."

"Sir agr aapne mujhe nahi maara ya phir main aapki taraf gya toh Boss mujhe vaise bhi maar denge, esse behtar hai ki main khud mar jaun!" He uttered before trying to slip a pill in his mouth but his hand was instantly held back by Ajeet Sir.

"Agr tumhe apni jaan hi deni hai toh kuch accha krke kyun nahi dete!? Apne desh, apne desh vasiyon ke liye kyun nahi dete!?" Ajeet Sir snapped angrily, and I had the similar expression to his because the person infront of us was not even a man, but a boy who is not more than even 20.

While the boy snapped back at us, "Kin desh vasiyon ke liye apni jaan doon? Jinhone mujhe kabhi kuch nahi diya? Log mujhe chor kehte rahe, lekin chor paida nahi hua tha main! Halaaton ne chor banaya aur jab aapke en desh vasiyon ne mujhe akela kiya tha, tab ARS ne mujhe yahaan pe laake khada kiya!"

I stared at the boy throughout his outburst, while I stole a glance at Ajeet Sir who did the same to me and we had the same thing in our mind, as I was the one to state them clearly this time, as I kneeled down beside the boy who was sobbing on his knees.

Taking a deep breath I told him, "ARS ko tumse koi matlab nahi hai, voh dhoond hi aise logon ki raha tha jinhe voh bhadka sake, aur tumhe humara saath esliye dena chahiye taaki log yeh seekh paayen ki kabhi-kabhi unka nazariya kisike liye kya ban sakta hai! Aur agr logon ke liye nahi, toh apne desh ke liye kro! Es mitti ke liye kro!"

"Aur tum jis ARS ki baat kr rhe ho, usne na jaane kitne logon ki jaan li hai! Kitne ladkiyon ko becha hai! Aur agr humne usse aaj nahi roka, toh pta nahi phir kab rokenge aur phir tab tak voh kitne aur logon ka faayda utha chuka hoga! Kitne tum jaise logon ki zindagi nark bana chuka hoga!" Ajeet Sir told him stiffly.

The boy was in deep thoughts as two of us peered at him, hoping he would choose the right path, the path to justice and that's when he matched our eyes and uttered, "Room no. 372"

A smile lingered on three of our faces but it didn't last for any longer than 2 seconds, as the sound of gunshot echoed in the room and it took me a moment, that there was a hole at the boy's head and blood was spluttered all over his face, before he fell on the ground lifeless but the smile never left his face.

I leaned on and closed the boy's eyes as momentarily I closed my eyes and opened them again, with a new sense of determination washed over me, as I stood up on my feet and pulled out my gun and as I turned back, another sound of gunshot echoed.

This time, I froze for a moment because it was fired for me but was unfortunately taken in by Ajeet Sir on his shoulder, as he fell on his knees and without thinking I glared at the man who shot him and I instantly pulled the trigger of my gun which was aiming at his heart, and with another sound he fell on the ground lifeless.

Whereas Ajeet Sir went on his knees, clutching his shoulder while I instantly went on my knees and informed the group hastily through the earpiece, "Backup! Ajeet Sir ko goli lagi hai! Instant swap!"

"Faizi, main aur Koel aarhe hain." Anubhav informed instantly through the earpiece.

Whereas I got up and looked around for a clean cloth, as I grabbed the table cloth and kneeling down I tied the cloth around Ajeet Sir's shoulder in order to prevent the blood loss and that's when I heard Monami, "Faizi, tum Ajeet ki bleeding roko and then, leave the room as soon as possible and remember, remove the communication devices from there."

"Copy that." I said.

And that's when I heard Sid, "Let's do a thing, Faizi bro, aap, Koo aur Anubhav Sir, Ajeet Sir ko leke secret back entrance pe aao, vahaan se Anubhav Sir aur Ajeet Sir vanity mein aajaenge and I will join you aur Ajeet Sir ko medical attention bhi chahiye!"

"On it." I along with Koel and Anubhav Sir replied.

A few minutes passed when I heard footsteps, as I went to the side of door, steading myself to fire up, when the door opened as two figures barged inside, aiming their guns high, as they turned around, three of us instantly lowered the guns, Koel and Anubhav Sir.

Anubhav Sir instantly kneeled down to Ajeet Sir who was half conscious while I along with Koel started to look around for the weapons and communicater, as we disabled the communicater.

Tucking the guns inside, I helped Anubhav Sir in holding up Ajeet Sir who was now fully unconscious while Koel looked outside, verifying that no one was around, she indicated us to come, as we followed her and reached the secret back entrance which was on first floor, as it would lead down through the stairs.

"Anubhav Sir, aap Ajeet Sir ko leke jaaiye, hum aur Koel room no. 372 mein ja rahe hain!" I informed while I helped him sneaked inside the secret entrance room stairs.

Anubhav Sir held now held his partner as he said worried, "Faizi, lekin Siddharth ka toh wait krlo..."

But he was too late, as I along with Koel rushed outside the room, towards the fourth floor.

Two of us reached the third floor when suddenly we heard the sound of footsteps, as I and Koel stole a glance at eachother, when suddenly I could feel that someone was holding me at gunpoint, as I slowly turned behind....

Sanju...

Sanju instantly downed her gun as she apologized, "Maaf krna Sirji, humne socha koi aur hogo..."

"Koi baat nahi Sanju, lekin tum upr kya kr rahi ho?" I questioned her confused.

While Koel agreed as she said, "Right, tumhe toh abhi Karan Bhai ke saath hona chahiye tha na..."

"Haan lekin Siddharth vakt pe aagyo tha aur phir voh aur Karan Sirji saath mein hogo toh hum turant se pehlo upr aagye, baaki Monami aur Gunjan madam baaki ladkiyon ko yahaan se nikalne mein lage hain..." Sanju explained as I and Koel nodded understanding, as we started to move towards the end of corridor, 372.

As soon we reached near the door, Sanju and I aimed our guns towards the door while Koel was about to open the door when we heard the sound of something falling just from the door next to us, and out of reflex Sanju swinged towards the door as she busted inside, aiming her gun high.

Whereas she was followed by me and Koel but we were startled on seeing the room empty, as we had a feeling that something is definitely wrong.

And to our misfortune as soon we turned back to face the entrance of the door, I felt some hard object against the back of my head, as I was shook by the sudden force and dropped on my knees due to the unbearable pain as my eyes felt heavy.

I could barely see the silhouettes of Koel and Sanju getting attacked out of the blue while their guards were down, and suddenly I felt some liquid rolling down my neck as my eyes dropped when I couldn't hold back myself any longer, as I fell down and murmured before fainting, "3 captured... 372..."

And then, all of it went black.
