Minhaaj was packaging some stuff like a recorder, micro cameras, some dusting powder, and brushes to spy on Asad's illegal work and to get evidence about it.

Umar was a Lil tense because he would be not there as Asad tightened the security around the house. 

Umar was grounded in order not to get caught because according to the Dildar Khan gang there is a guy called Sherry who told Asad to beware as someone is spreading the news about them.

Umar was working as labor who was constructing the guest house but suddenly after this Sherry guy spoke about secret agents so all the workers were stopped working.

Umar, don't worry we will be connected through the earpiece. And Izza would be there in case I got caught that won't be happening as I will be going there to get the assignment so no one would suspect me. I'm going there as a mere timid student of LUMS university.
Just look at my attire does it scream I'm a secret agent. He chuckled and patted his shoulder to assure him that he would be safe and ambled towards the door.

He was just wearing a black leather jacket underneath there was a red shirt and black pants.

Umar just nodded but something was bothering him. He doesn't get this type of feeling before. Like something wrong going to happen.

Minhaaj drove his car to Aftab's house with a clear picture in his mind about what he was going to do there. But will everything go as the plan only Allah knows?

He pressed the bell and waited for someone to come out.

Izza who was working as a cook in Asad's house opened the door.

Yes, how may I help you? She asked normally like she didn't know the very person standing in front of her.

Umm... Could you please tell Aftab to come out? I have some urgent business with him. Minhaaj also feigned like he didn't know her.

Please wait at the waiting area. I will inform Aftab Sahab (sir). Izza said it and went ahead.

Minhaaj also waited for Aftab in the waiting area. He looked around in astonishment like he never saw this big house before just for the CCTV cameras. He knew people were monitoring every person who entered the house.

After 5 minutes she was back.

Sir, Aftab Sahab (sir) said to take you to his room. This way. She gestured to walk with her and took Minhaaj to Aftab's room.

He was sleeping half-naked. Aftab's eyes were swelled like he had been crying for many nights and the dark circle around his eyes was confirming that something was not right with him.

His room looked like a trash can in just one glimpse and everything stinks there. It was not easy for any normal person to stand there for even a minute.

What are you doing here? Rubbing his eyes from the back of his hand he asked.

You didn't hand over our economic assignment. The professor gave us 24 hours to submit it. Now would you mind giving me the assignment so I could leave?  Minhaaj uttered in irritation.

He didn't know why whenever he sees Aftab he can't hide his emotions.

Oh, I gave it to Hassam to submit but I guess he didn't do it. Let me call him and ask about it.

He yawned and tried to find his phone in his messy room where beer cans and lots of alcohol bottles were laying down.

He talked to Hassam for a while and then declined the call.

He lost the assignment. Aftab said it and started stretching his body.

Minhaaj wanted to shot him right there but he controlled.

Okay, then I'll take my leave. Minhaaj was about to put his feet out of his room when he shouted.

Wait, Dinhaaj! He pronounced his name wrongly. Minhaaj didn't correct him also.

He swirled on his feet and looked at him with a cocked-up brow.

Yes!

Can you give me Mah Laaj's number? I need to talk to her. She might be worried that I was not coming to University for 1 week.

Minhaaj clenched his fist but asserted calmly.

I don't have her number. You can (not) talk to her at the university (either). The "NOT" and "EITHER" were silent.

Minhaaj walked away because he couldn't stand this guy even for a minute.

If you met her do tell her I'm fine.

Aftab yelled and giggled afterward. He loved teasing him too because according to him Dinhaaj was just a friend of Mah Laaj. He even does the background check on him but nothing suspicious came out.

Aftab took the quilt on and went back to sleep.
Minhaaj went downstairs but didn't close the door fully.

He stood out of the house and said "NOW".

Umar hacked all the CCTV cameras and the security guards were now seeing the old footage before Minhaaj came into the house but the original video was surfing on Umar's laptop.

Everything was going according to the plan and now it was Minhaaj turn to take action. He ambled back into the house with a changed shirt, a mask, and a cap on and start searching the study room of Asad.

As Umar already told him everything about Asad's house so it was easy for Minhaaj to find the room.

Minhaaj checked all the drawers to get anything but all in vain. He opened all the files on the table but nothing came out. Then his gaze went straight to an envelope. He opened it and right there someone snatched the floor under his feet.

There were pictures of Mah Laaj with Aftab. Not just one but many. In some pictures, Minhaaj was there but only his back was shown.

He was dumbfounded because why he didn't notice that before. Revealing his face would benefit his enemies. He was in serious trouble. Then his mind clicked on the morning incident.

Maybe the guy Ali caught in the morning would be their men. He mumbled to himself.

Minhaaj wanted to steal those pictures and erase every person mind who saw Mah Laaj but this was not in his hands.

Minhaaj was in the trance that he didn't hear what Umar was saying in the earpiece.

Umar called Izza to stop Dildar Khan from going towards the study room because Minhaaj was not moving at all.

Izza without wasting a minute went straight towards Dildar Khan who was about to step on the first stair.

Sir, Aftab Sahab (Sir) said not to come on the second floor. He doesn't want any disturbance. Izza made a false story to save Minhaaj.

Who the hell are you to stop me? You fucking slave. Don't you know who I am? I am Dildar Khan. If you utter a single more word from your stupid mouth all the bullets from my gun would be resting in your head. Go it! He shouted and pushed her away to which as a result she fell on the floor.

Minhaaj came back to reality when he heard the falling sound of someone. Then he heard the shouting of Umar that Dildar Khan came out of nowhere and now he was heading towards the study room.

I heard you. Minhaaj was about to run towards the balcony when he heard the beep of a message from the room. It was not his phone. He looked around and saw a blue light coming from under the table.

He got down there and tried to read the message.

Asad Sahab your files are saved under the tree but as per your instructions, we have taken them out. Let's.....

Minhaaj couldn't read the last part of the message because Dildar Khan was so near and Umar was yelling his lungs out off to get away from there asap.

He galloped in the balcony direction and with his special training, he jumped from there without making any sound. Minhaaj ambled at the main entrance in haste and went out in no time.

Dildar Khan entered the room and felt someone's presence. He hastily searched all areas but couldn't find anything.

He crouched near Asad's table took the mobile out which was stuck under it with the help of black tape.

Meet me at Haveli restaurant.

Dildar Khan replied to get all the evidence of Asad's crime so that he could move it somewhere else as now only he could save his Aftab Sahab, that's what he thought but he didn't know he was making a big mistake in his life.

That phone was Asad's secret phone from where he does his confidential dirty work and only he knows the place of that phone.

Dildar Khan accidentally saw that phone one day.

Coming out of Asad's house, Minhaaj walked out like just how he went inside. After coming near his car which was parked a 30-minute distance away from the house of Asad, Minhaaj told Umar to gather everyone. And also told Izza to leave the cooking job. They need to come up with a new plan.

On the way to his hideout, he felt like his brain would pop out at any time. The pictures of Mah Laaj were whirling in his head.

Minhaaj never wanted Mah Laaj to get involved with Asad in the first place but now that slim chance just ran away in front of his blue orbs. 

Damn it! Why Mah Laaj from all the people? He questioned in thin air like someone was listening to him.

To the hideout, he came up with many strategies that won't involve Mah Laaj but nothing was working out. Minhaaj knew what kind of people he was dealing with.

They sell girls and drugs like water and meat. When he entered the discussion room he asked Ali a bunch of questions.

Did you capture the guy from the morning? Is he our enemies man? What kind of pictures did you get out from his camera? Did u interrogate him yet?

Woah! Black dog what's wrong with you? Why are you sweating so much?

Snoopy, it's no time to play. Tell me, now! Minhaaj eyes were red when he asked about it.

Ali gulped slowly because he knows that now Minhaaj was talking as the lieutenant, not as his friend.

Black dog he's a mere photographer who was paid by a boy name Umar khan in his 30s. I did a  background check on him by getting all the information from that camera guy and I think you don't like to hear it.

The last word faded because Ali knew the anger of Minhaaj. He would make a person disappear without anyone know.

Even if I don't like to hear it still spill it out. Minhaaj leaned ahead on the table in a warning tone like a wounded lion.

He... is the... cousin of Mah Laaj Khan the girl you brought here. We don't know the purpose of him approaching you guys like that but there are many pictures of yours with Mah Laaj. To conclude, it looks like he like Miss Mah Laaj khan and wanted to see if she is seeing someone at her uni or not. Ali spilled out the whole thing what he got from 5 hours working on this project.

Which cell is he in? Minhaaj was not showing any emotion when he spewed it out which was deadly because it means that the camera guy would going to be dead.

Sir! I hope you think again before doing anything rash. This is just my specula-

Minhaaj stopped him in the middle.

You want to be at his place. Be my guest then.

Minhaaj asserted it and Ali beginning to perspire because of an old memory when Minhaaj beat the shit out of him because he was going to quit after seeing his team captain death.

Let me take you to that bastard Sir. Ali walked ahead of him by showing him the way to their hideout.

The cell light was pointed towards the camera guy's eyes so he won't be able to see who was standing in front of him.

Minhaaj entered and the guy tied on the chair shivered and started asking for forgiveness.

I didn't do anything wrong. I'm just a mere photographer. I'm doing this all by a guy named Umar Khan. I can give you all the details of him. Please let me go. I have a daughter and wife to feed. He pleaded like his life depend on it.

In just one glance Minhaaj knew he was not the guy they were looking for but as this involved Mah Laaj he needed to question him but in front of Ali would possibly give him the wrong impression.

According to him, he was doing a favor to Mah Laaj nothing else.

Snoop you go and tell me when everyone is gathered in the discussion room. Okay!

Minhaaj tried to shu him away.

Okay, Sir. Ali too wanted to run away from that scene so he took the bait knowingly.

After confirming that no one was around Minhaaj took a chair from the corner and sat over it.

Now tell me the whole detail from the day the guy named Umar hired you till now. How many pictures have you sent to him?  Minhaaj started his investigation politely as he didn't want that photographer man to forget even a tiny detail in pressure.

Okay, I will tell you everything. I suddenly got a call from my classmate about a secret job. At first, I didn't want to take it but because I was short on money and my daughter was getting treatment for her heart hole I took the job. My classmate gave me Umar's number and then we started to talk about it. He said that I only need to take pictures of that girl and send it to him daily. Then one day he asked me to ask around if that girl has an affair or not. I just send him this type of detail till your partner abducted me and brought me here. I swear I didn't touch your girl.

Minhaaj stood up from his seat and showed him his face. He came near to his ear and whispered.

After leaving here tell that guy to meet Minhaaj Sikandar and ask himself if Mah Laaj is his girlfriend or not.

Minhaaj just patted his shoulder with a Lil strength which as a result his shoulder came off.

He groaned but Minhaaj just went out from there because that conversation was a pure waste of time.

Soon everyone gathered in the discussion room when Minhaaj saw Umar with a sulky face.
A smile crept on his lips but it vanished too.

We have to change the Mission BFF because I think they know we are onto them. There were many pictures of mine at Asad Bukhari's table. Although my face was not clear still let's not take a chance on anyone's life. If our undercover is busted then I think this mission is failed...

He paused and everyone was just in shock by what they heard from Minhaaj mouth.

The guy whose dictionary is filled with the word " WINNING " is now talking about a failed mission before even they started.

So rather than taking the easy side, I think we need to change our target.

Dildar Khan! He put his picture on the glass board and smirked. Everyone who was gasping a second ago was back to normal as they know Minhaaj is back with the cruelest plan for his prey.

Izza you will not go to Asad's house as it's a waste of time because there is nothing in his house. I have searched every part of the study room but there was nothing that we could use against him except one thing.

What? Arzu finally spoke up.

I think we got the most important clue about this case and that is the files of Asad's dirty work. There was a mobile under his table that's why the security was tightened. But I saw it and I was lucky enough to see a message which described that Asad had put all his files under some tree but now because they came to know that we are after them he is moving his documents. And guess what who is going to take the files?

Dildar Khan! Arzu spewed out and everyone just looked at her with weird expressions.

She was always the smartest one and the quietest.

Exactly! Good job Arzu. Minhaaj patted her head and proceeded with the plan but Lil did he know that a Lil touch made her heart flip.

Ali was looking at Arzu because she was blushing like always whenever Minhaaj praised her and there was always one blind person in the room and that was Minhaaj who couldn't able to discern whether it was because of his touch or because of the room atmosphere.

Okay, Umar hack Dildar Khan phone and find his location asap. Izza, Saad and Ali are coming with me. Arzu and Umar will be our backup. We don't know the number of guards there so all we could do is wait for the right moment to get those files. Okay. I know it's reckless but that's what our job is. So pack your bags everyone and don't forget to jot down your letter.

Minhaaj was happy because if they got the files then Mah Laaj would be saved easily as Asad would be busy cleaning up his mess which he wouldn't let him do it. Asad was going behind the bars soon but Lil did he know the consequences of his recklessness would cause him a major trauma which he would never forget in his life. 

Everyone was ready with their gears. Umar already got the location but still, has the sulking face. Minhaaj sat in the driving seat while Umar sat beside him on the passenger seat. Arzu was accompanying them in the back seat.

The other car was driven by Saad in which Izza and Ali were sitting. The plan was set they soon departed from the hideout.

Umar was not having a good feeling and he was still mad at Minhaaj because he was not listening to him at Asad's house. So after sighing for the 100th time he spoke up.

Black dog don't you think this plan is way too abrupt? I mean I can never beat you at your judgment thing but still, I'm not having a good feeling about this case. And the cherry on top we are moving without telling our superiors.

Umar shared his concerns but Minhaaj also had an adequate point too.

I know you are mad about the house incident but don't worry I had think through it. If we don't get files now then we don't know when we would get this chance again. They are changing the place which means Asad is involved in the dealings. If got our hands on it then I think half of our Mission BFF is solved. Minhaaj uttered it but he didn't know that he would be dragging his team into a big trap he would ever imagine.

Abandon Edifice

These rats think they would mess up with me "THE DILDAR KHAN" who killed 400 people in one go in Afghanistan. He laughed in satire.

Boss, they didn't know that you are " The Aaban". One of his gang members uttered with a chuckle.

Soon everyone was laughing because originally the currently known Dildar khan was once a terrorist who used to kill humans as they kill in games and one day he was beaten up by secret agents badly that he couldn't even move his body. He was taking his last breath but Jabbar khan saved him and from then on he started working for "The Bukhari's" as he owes them for life.

They will step into my trap in 15 minutes. Record it generously you dogs and send it to me. I have to get those files from that guy as well. He put his vile smirk on his face and went ahead.

On the other side, Minhaaj was driving to the place where Dildar Khan's phone was giving them the location but something was off. The location they were getting was far away from Lahore city somewhere between Kallar Kahar.

Why would he go this far when he could get the files while being in Lahore? They would be more safe in Lahore as they know each part of it. While driving his senses alarmed him something so he stopped his car abruptly.

Saad's car also stopped. Minhaaj glanced at the top of the mountains and hastily called on Ali's phone.

"Get down, now!". And as soon as he spewed out the firing started. They were getting shoot by every angle.

Reverse your car. Minhaaj shouted on the phone.

Saad was facing this situation for the first time. Although the cars were bulletproof but continuously showering of bullets could get inside.

He was panicking so much that he didn't listen to what Minhaaj was saying.

Ali took the initiative and started the car engine. He reversed the car while Saad was just sitting down while covering his ears. He looked like he was traumatized more than scared.

Minhaaj also reversed his car. And suddenly a bullet came through the window of Saad's car and hit right on the shoulder of Ali. Izza loaded her gun and took a headshot of that guy who just fired the gun.

Now Saad's car was not bulletproof anymore so to protect them Minhaaj drove his car near Saad's one and took all the bullets.

No one will look up. Stay down! Minhaaj yelled as Izza could get the shot too if Minhaaj didn't come with his car.

They drove till they reached somewhere near Lahore. Minhaaj felt that it would be safe to stop here. The cars stopped.

Izza had already given the first aid to Ali amidst the firing. Everyone was saved.

Minhaaj stepped out of his car and galloped towards Saad's car to check if Ali was alright or not. Umar and Arzu also headed in that direction.

Minhaaj stared at his wound from which the blood was flowing out in less speed but they can't take the risk to lose him as slowly he was losing his consciousness.

Izza, call the army doctor and tell them it's an emergency. We have to head towards the hospital as we can't afford to go back to our hideout.

Minhaaj was giving the instructions when Arzu saw the reflection of someone pointing a gun at them from afar. She pushed Umar away and shut the door of the car with a kick. They heard one fire from which they got saved by Arzu but they didn't stop firing.

She shoved Minhaaj to the other side but that sniper already fired which passed through right her heart.  

Her hand which was brought up with a gun was now down as she took the bullet of Minhaaj.

Umar without wasting time loaded his gun and shoot right where the bullet came from. Minhaaj couldn't do anything because his gun had fallen far from his range.

Arzu was down!

Cliffhanger!!!!!

Asalam-o-Alaikum everyone! I'm back with a full action pack chap!😍 How was it?

Minhaaj was so near to get caught by Dildar Khan don't you think he needs to put his personal life aside when he is at work?

Dildar Khan was a terrorist 😳 does this shock you?  And how much do you hate Jabbar Bukhari?

Dildar Khan is way too sharp than anyone could think.

What do you guys think will Arzu die?

Fate is playing dirty don't you think so?

There are two Umar's in my story one is with the black stork and the other one Mah Laaj's cousin who was going to marry her. He is creepy right.

Who felt butterflies when Minhaaj told the photographer that come and ask him directly if Mah Laaj is his or not 🌚
