Chapter 3: Take Care.

Flashback:

RAJAT was casually roaming in the mall while looking for someone and spotted the person talking on phone with someone.

The person simultaneously noticed RAJAT there and colour of his face faded in an instance listening something on the phone.

RAJAT smiled waving at him but the person took a run. RAJAT was startled before running after him and finally nabbed him in a shop's godown pulling the shutter down to not to startled the public.

RAJAT pinned the guy over a washing machine twisting his hand behind as the guy groaned spatting: Saale! Mujhe laga tha kuch gadbad hai par pichhle 7 din me tune bhanak tak nahi lagne di ki tu policewala hai. Lagta hai tu police me naya hai.

RAJAT twisted his hand a bit harder replying: Saale! Meri koi bahen nahi hai aur hoti bhi to tujh jaisa kamina mera rishtedaar nahi hota. Aur rahi baat mere police hone ki, toh nishana lagne aur chukne me bahot bada farq hota hai, jo tujhme aur mujhme hai. Ab bata drugs kahaan hai?

The guy answered: Drugs mere paas nahi hai.

RAJAT: To kiske paas hai?

Guy: Mahadev ke paas.'

RAJAT asked: Mahadev kahaan hai?

The guy wittily quipped: Bhai, Mahadev to ab kailash me hi honge na?

There RAJAT made a pissed face pulling up the guy to face him before pushing him to the wall behind loading his gun: Government ne ye gun sirf rakhne ke liye nahi, chalaane ke liye bhi di hai.'

RAJAT pointed his loaded gun at the guy warning him: Mere paas jyada time nahi hai. So jaldi bata drugs kahaan hai warna mujhe ambulance bulane me 5 minute bhi nahi lagenge yaha se teri dead body le jane ke liye.

Now the guy looked real scared seeing the serious and dangerous expression of RAJAT as he pulled the trigger.

A gunshot fired and the guy clenched his chest only to see he is alright, looking at RAJAT in surprise before they heard a mass commotion outside the godown.

RAJAT seriously asked the guy: Aur kaun hai yahan tere sath?

The guy asked back confused: Bahar police nahi hai?

And both looked each other clueless before realising the building was under attack by the ruffians.

RAJAT acted quick informing his team before asking the guy: Help me to safe zone the public.

The guy smirked enjoying his situation: Soch le, jab meri jaan pe aati hai to mai apne baap ka bhi nahi hota.

RAJAT with a serious look said: Mujhe pata hai teri ek bahen hai jisse tu bahot pyaar karta hai. Jail jaake usse nazre mila payega? Mai tujhe sarkaari gawaah bana dunga.'

The guy was swayed for a moment before asking wittily: Ek shart pe, meri bahen se shaadi karega? Meri life ban jayegi.

RAJAT looking in the eyes of the guy seriously answered: Aaj ke liye wo bhi kar leta, agar mammi-papa ne koi pasand na kar rakhi hoti. Sorry!

The guy couldn't resist the vulnerable serious-concerned look of RAJAT for the situation and said: Chal tu bhi kya yaad rakhega ek dushman ki dosti.

Before RAJAT and the guy secretly helped the people to reach to a safe hideout or out of the mall until RAJAT thrown himself as the bait to keep the ruffians away from the hideout and find the location of the hostages.

Flashback over.

PURVI looked shocked at RAJAT asking: Who are you?'

RAJAT replied: There is no time for it. They must have heard the gunshot and will be here any moment. You take care of the hostages. There is another group of people down the corridor in a safe hideout. Take the hostages there.'

RAJAT pointed at the beaten guy telling PURVI: He will show you the way.'

The guy gave a mean look to RAJAT: Me?'

RAJAT gave him a dead glare showing his gun and the guy quickly changed his statement: Yes, I will. I will.'

RAJAT: Move quickly. Till then I will handle the ruffians to buy time for you.'

PURVI looked worried: Par tum akele..?

RAJAT showing the hostages said looking in her eyes: I need you to protect them.'

There was an undefined understanding in thier eyes as PURVI nodded silently before calling him from behind: Suno.

RAJAT who was about to leave, turned at her catching something she threw at him. It was a Bluetooth.

PURVI: Keep contact with our team. They will be soon here. Till then.., take care.

RAJAT looked at the Bluetooth and then in her concerned eyes. There was something that held back his heart in her eyes for the moment.

He nodded at her replying with the same unsaid feeling: You too.

And RAJAT moved out of the room not before taking the gun of the dead ruffians from the floor.
