“Since when has Mohini been nervous?” he looked directly at Samiya
“We had a show yesterday and she was okay till then – she got this feeling after the show is what I think…” Samiya couldn’t understand what he wanted to ask her.
“Where are the recordings of the show?”
‘They are at my home – why?”
He called Inspector Khan and looked at her with a firmly, “Let’s see those recordings…” and they started walking toward the place they had parked their car. Both, Inspector Khan and Samiya were wondering why he wanted to see the recordings of the show…
They reached her home and she got the USB in which she had transferred the recordings so that she could carry it along when she would discuss with Mohini of how to edit and what was to be shown from the recording. Her family members were a bit concerned when they got to know that Chaitanya was a Major in the army and with him was an Inspector from NIA and she was tense…
She started to play the recordings and Chaitanya insisted that she plays the last recording. She clicked on the recording. Major Chaitanya was quick to notice the Pakistani currency the guy held in his hands…
“Stop!” he said pointing out the currency to Inspector Khan who looked in disbelief, “She has been kidnapped by him or his aides. They are terrorists from Pakistan – we will have to find this guy in order to reach Mohini and see to it that their plans are foiled…”
Khan and Samiya looked at him a bit confused of what he was saying…
‘Samiya – get the snapshot of this guy from as many angles as you can from this recording – I will explain… Mohini read the mind of this guy. He is from Pakistan and here to explode serial blasts like those which happened in 1993. It seems this guy now has doubt if she did mind read what he was thinking and has kidnapped her… She has written about his thoughts in her notes I read and I have no doubt about the intentions of these terrorists – she is a Mind Reader and I know of her skills.”
Inspector Khan was immediate in his action, “If these are terrorists – I am roping the NIA in this abduction case – we will leave no stone unturned – two objectives – first to see Mohini safe and to see that Mumbai is safe…”
He immediately alerted the system he was in and the entire force was alerted. The snap of the terrorist and Mohini was sent to every man available on foot, in the HQ and even on the traffic duty and informed to keep a vigil as well as alert NIA on sight of anyone of them…
They asked Samiya to stay alert and kept 2 people on guard outside her home, in case, the terrorists thought of abducting her too… Chaitanya and Khan then reached HQ to keep a tab on any information that would flow in… “Whatever you do – don’t get out of here – men will be guarding you…” was the instruction given to Samiya.
The police sent to scout Jogeshwari reported no untoward activity and negated any sign of the person whose snaps were sent to them. Khan made them stay put in the area to keep a vigil and check all possible sources there. Chaitanya in the meantime was scanning maps for any sign of the words used in the notes of Mohini. It was almost dawn the next day.
“Khan – pull off your forces from Jogeshwari…” he said dejected as he realised that she wasn’t there – they had taken her to some other place.
“How can you be so sure?”
“Bhoorji is the name of place in Pakistan, so is Raam Nagar – I think the terrorist is from that place and was thinking of his hometown.” Chaitanya showed him what he had found in the map, “They must not have left Mumbai – they are still holed up here – the only question is where?”
He was still on the maps and looking furiously for every moment counted. He wanted to rescue Mohini if she was not yet killed by the terrorists and also wanted to see the city safe. After all, these terrorists had planned a huge attack through bomb blasts in the city and only God knew how many would be affected…
