Rudhra: What's up Doll? What's going on?

Shehnaaz: Bhaiyya, I've got some leads. Can we meet at JK Hospital in another 2 hours? We have to be in disguise.

Rudhra: I'll be there. Be careful.

Shehnaaz was disguised in a saree as a pregnant woman with a long veil covering her face. Rudhra was disguised as a villager with a turban and kurta pajama. They meet outside the JK Hospital lawn. Shehnaaz walked slowly holding her fake bump and Rudhra held her arms as if supporting her.

Shehnaaz: (low tone) Bhaiyya, I saw that there are regular donations being made by JK hospitals to the party fund. I found a guy giving a suitcase full of black money along with a cheque to Alok. There is something fishy going on in this hospital which we need to find out. I had informed our few team members as well. Even they are disguised and ready for the orders to start the surveillance.

Shehnaaz makes a conference call to connect with the rest of 3 team members.

Rudhra: Hello.. let's go in and spilt up to make it easier. Will stay connected over the phone via Bluetooth headphones. Be extra careful since we are unarmed. If anyone is caught, the code word will be "Amma No.. No Amma.."

They all split up and scan through the building without dragging anyone's attention. Shehnaaz finds out a nurse sneaking with a new born baby. She follows her casually. The nurse goes into the parking lot of the hospital. She hidingly hears a conversation between the nurse and a man.

Nurse: Here is the male baby you asked for. Transfer 2 Lakhs into this account (passes a chit to him)

Man: But your previous customer said you gave them a baby at 1 Lakh.

Nurse: It will be a girl child. Our rates are fixed. 1 Lakh for girl and 2 lakh for boy. If you don't have money then you can either take a girl baby whose mother is due for operation in the evening. We have others who are on waiting list for boy baby. The demand is too much for boy.

Man: No no no.. I want a boy itself. (He does an online transaction over the phone) Done.

The nurse hands over the baby to the man. The man sits in the car and drives outside.

Shehnaaz: Hello Gama come in!

Gama: Yes Alpha!

Shehnaaz: A Blue Scorpio numbered XYZ 4321 just left the parking. Contact the team to follow it and there is a baby in it. Steal the baby. I repeat STEAL the baby. We will return the baby to it's parents. We cannot arrest them since we are yet to find evidences of any other illegal activities going on here. They will get alert if we arrest them. Do you copy?

Gama: Copy that! I am on it.

Shehnaaz follows the nurse who goes  outside the OT where the new born's father was waiting.

Nurse: I am sorry. It was a stillbirth. The mother is still unconcious.

Father: But.. I heard the baby's cry few minutes back.

Nurse: That was another patient. We will keep your wife under observation for 2 days until her wounds are healed. Kindly pay 75% of the operation charges now itself at the counter, we don't keep long and huge dues.

The nurse didn't even allow the father to mourn his baby's death and went on to ask for money. The father nodded and went to pay the bills.

Shehnaaz sneaks into the OT slowly where she finds out that the doctor when he operated for the delivery took out the mother's kidney as well and that would be inturn transplanted to another patient in a different OT for money.

While she was hearing the conversation, another nurse walks in and finds her. Shehnaaz immediately held her bump.

Shehnaaz: Amma No.. No Amma..

Nurse: What happened? What are you doing here in OT?

Shehnaaz: I am holding my motion, was searching for toilet. It's so difficult to hold on.

Nurse: It's out at the right end corner. This is operation theatre and you can't enter inside. Come I'll show you the washroom.

The moment they come out, Rudhra comes running to her.

Rudhra: Arey oh Sukhmani, where have you been, did you finish your nature calls? Your number is being called.

Shehnaaz: Hariya bhaiyya, I entered the wrong place in search of toilet. Please escort me to the toilet. (To the nurse) Thank you nurse, my brother is here. Sorry I went inside wrong room.

Nurse: That's fine for now. Next time be careful.

The nurse goes away. Rudhra and Shehnaaz walks outside for a while until they reach an isolated place.

Shehnaaz: Bhaiyya, this is so horrible and disgusting. These people can do anything for money. That person in the OT had to pay hefty bill, yet they sold her kidney and her baby as well.

Rudhra: Even, I found out something. A boy lost his mother, he came here for his mother's piles operation but they did her gallstone operation, then another for liver followed by open heart surgery. They did all the operations but the piles and yet she died. Now they are charging him a huge bill to take her dead body.

Shehnaaz: Vultures and Parasites feeding on dead bodies. Bhaiyya, we have to do something before more people fall prey to this. But looks like they are backed by Akhilesh's party to escape such cases. We need strong evidences which would make it impossible for anyone to save them.

Rudhra: A sting operation! Of course, but there is a huge risk.

Shehnaaz: I am ready to take any risk to save innocent lives.

Rudhra: For now let's go home before they suspect. Will plan for it.

Shehnaaz was very disturbed by whatever she witnessed. When Akhilesh asked her about coming home, she showed him the new laptop. She didn't go for dinner. Sidharth took the food for her to their room.

Sidharth: Come wifey, let's have dinner.

Shehnaaz: I am not in the mood.

He looked at her dull face which showed agony. He got up and sat close to her.

Sidharth: What happened sweetheart? Why are you so sad today?

Shehnaaz hugged him and cried.

Sidharth: What happened? Did anybody said anything to you at office? (She nodded no) Did I do something wrong? (She nodded no) Missing Rudhra Bhaiyya? (She nodded no) Then what happened my Jaan?

Shehnaaz couldn't tell him the reason.

Shehnaaz: I don't know! Just let me cry on your shoulder. Please!

He hugs her and pats her back to let her cry her heart out. She curled up on his lap and went to slept without eating her dinner. Sidharth himself couldn't eat finding her in pain. He pulled a duvet and went to sleep beside her.
