Rise of the Devil - Part 45A

PREVIOUS PART 


Chapter 45A


Arnav’s POV

It’s midnight. With every passing second, my frustration to find that one clue where my wife is, boils my blood. I know so far she is safe. I can feel it. Love is weird. You have that unusual telepathy between you and the person you love and its so strong that you can actually communicate even if you are seven oceans away from each other. I feel her waiting for me to show up and bring her home safe.


Safe is just a word for me now. This house which I call the Prime Safe house is the only secure place where I was sure that none of my enemies could touch her. Yet, this incident happened. How? How can 5 men kidnap my wife entering this place? I have trooped my entire backup army, who could make it here and as far as I know every single soul here is desperately looking for that one clue to trace Khushi… my queen.. my wife..

“What the hell is this?” Aman shouts.


Aman has been working on his laptop nonstop for past three hours. It’s been 6 hours now that Khushi is taken. 6 damn long hours. I quickly make my way to him. Akash is on calls, speaking to our senior authorities for more technical help.

“Look at this..” Aman shows me some live tracking site which is the most secured one we with restricted access in our mission. “You see this dot?”


He shows me a small red circle which beeps every second.


“Yea, whats that?”

“That’s your GPS tracking chip which you had to return to us as the mission was declared aborted. We didn’t deactivate these chips yet considering we still had a few days to do so.”


I know what that means. I am here! Without the chip which means someone else was wearing it on his/her body so we could track.

“Your wife is a genius..” Aman screams turning to me. Hope is what I see in Aman’s eyes.


All these years ever since I joined the mission, I had a chip of around 1 cm glued to my neck which was newly invented by our specialized technical team for the mission. Aman used that to track all my moves. Akash also had a keen eye on the same just to make sure I don’t go missing. It looked like a mole to people even if they saw it so as to lower any other suspicion. Yesterday afternoon when Khushi was kissing me, pulling my hair, her nails scratched my nape and that’s how this chip got stuck to her finger. She had asked me about it and I had shed some light on what it does. But we were so involved in the love making that I literally put the chip sticker on the bedside table to continue devouring my wife. Not a safe attempt to do so but I was aware Aman wasn’t tracking me anymore ever since I was here at the Prime Safe house and soon I had to return the chip as the mission was aborted. But seems like it worked this one time when I needed it the most.


Akash returns to us after hearing it all.


“You mean when the kidnappers came to take Khushi, she purposely stuck this chip to her body so that we could trace her?” Akash reconfirms.

“That’s right” Aman nods.

“How can you be so sure? It can be someone else. What if it’s a hoax? Someone from the enemy who knows about this chip and wants to divert us from Khushi’s whereabouts?” I poke.

“Nothing harm in trying Devil. This location is 300 kms away from us. Now that we have some clue, we should try looking for her from this point..”


I totally agree. Somehow my heart says it is Khushi who used her intelligence and gave me a clue I needed to trace her.


*****************

Khushi’s POV


“Help” I scream aloud. My throat has dried by the constant screaming. My eyes are heavy with sleep and my body is deprived of strength. I cannot fathom where I am and why? I was reading my mafia romance novel, trying to finish it when Arnav had been away to meet Swetlana when my entire world changed. I recall that incident so well that it still brings goosebumps on my skin.


I heard a sound from the garden. The prime safe house had a beautiful garden view and though everything was dark outside, I still decided to check the source of that sound. Putting the book away, I walked to the window and looked down. Nothing!! No sign of guards. I recall there were three guards securing this backside garden area. Where could they go? I was about to look for them or maybe give them a voice when something pierced my arm. A needle!! How? The pain stung to my whole body which suddenly started feeling numb. Someone had shot this needle on me when I was out at the window.. What the hell!! I was afraid if we were under attack. But Jaipal was dead. No one could dare to abduct me if not him. But my husband had enemies and a lot in number. I could trust no one. I shut the window and rushed to the door. My eyes began to close. I was drugged. The needle was used to drug me. I was really attacked. Something struck my mind and instead of running to the door, I scurried with trembling feet towards the bedside table where the chip sticker which Devil told me about was glued. I needed it if I was taken. There had to be something which Devil could use to track me. I stuck the chip to my neck, just like I had seen Arnav doing it and the next moment two men barged into my room. No !! Kate’s neck was strangled by two strong men whose faces were covered with black masks. In fact they all wore a black uniform and it was even hard to decipher if these people were men or women, old or young.. for sure they were here for me. This was the time I had to put my training to practice. When one of these men advanced me, I kicked between his legs, obviously he hadnt expected that from me. Pulling the needle out I stabbed his neck with the same. My eyes kept closing but I had to fight. I had to keep myself safe until my Devil returned. As soon as the man fell down, the two men strangling kate rushed inside. One dragged the man out with him and the other two tried to shut my mouth with the cloth which had a strange smell on it. I assumed it was anesthesia. They already had drugged me making me weaker and now they had plans to even make me unconscious. I still fought – kicked, bit and elbowed hard to those men but I failed and in minutes I was forced to sniff the anesthesia and everything was dark.


“Is anyone here?” I scream for the umpteenth time. “Help.. Please..”


I cough. I am in a semi-dark, dirty room which I assume is the remains of an old factory or something. It’s cold and every hair on my hand prickles with an unknown fear. I can sense it. This is an abduction planned from weeks of practice. I don’t know when I woke up and where but ever since I am conscious, I have been screaming like hell. My hands have tied to the sides of the chair where I am forced to sit. My legs are tied too. I cannot move a muscle and my body aches with pain and more pain.


“Devil… please … please save me..” I murmur and pass out.


*****************

Arnav’s POV


One hour to plan the operation and one more hour to reach the place where the chip still beeps. I am finally here where we think Khushi is caged. It’s an old factory. The sunrise is yet to happen and we have exactly one more hour covered by darkness. Aman is in his van supporting and communicating with us through the ear pods.


“Guys, I have sent the drones to keep an eye on the target. Standby” Aman informs.


I don’t like to wait because I have no patience!! But then one mistake can cost the lives of the whole team. I can’t risk that. We are a handful of skilled men, around 20 of them and everyone here is born and trained to kill!! We can’t miss a single shot and none of us will leave this place until we save Khushi.


“Shit! Mines.!! Mines on the ground.. It’s a trap. Mission abort.. Mission abort”


Aman alarms on the comms and the moment we hear this, we turn around to hide. The mines burst on the ground.


“Take cover… Take a damn cover..” I shout back and the next instant fall on the ground, hurting my arm. “Shit” I grunt as thorns prick my arm bruising me.

“Ambush!! We are ambushed.. Devil.. Are you there? Devil speak to me..” Akash shouts from the other end of the communication.

“I am fine..” I respond taking cover. “what about the other men? What’s the situation?”

I hide behind a tall tree and peek towards the factory. There’s no one following us.. no one from the opposite side to shoot at us.


“This was a trap” Akash shouts again. I press my ear pods to hear him clearly as at some distance away from me the mines are still bursting. “Khushi is not here. She never was. The chip might have been on her body but whoever has abducted her is sharp enough to locate it before us. They trapped us by diverting us to this place. She’s not here Bhai.. We have to go back. Our clue is lost!! It’s not safe to be here..”


All of his words echo in my ears. Khushi is not here? Then where the hell is she? Whoever has abducted her seems to be sharper than me!! How’s that possible? Who is this man who can thinks like me.. Who is still one step ahead of me? WHO DAMMIT???

Hello Friends,
