Aditya arched his brows in disgust...

" Shravan... We would have chosen better restaurant?!?"

It was a mere question than a statement...

Leena nodded, accepting him...

Suman smiled meaningful to Shravan..

Shravan's lips curled up to a smirk.. He rubbed his hands together..

" Bro... I read in a travel guide that this is the famous restaurant for typical regional dishes... Why don't we give it a try?!?!"

Aditya shrunk his eyes at Shravan and Suman doubtfully...

" Something is amiss" he stated...

" May or may not"  saying so, Shravan roamed through the menu...

" Aditya... What would you like to have?"

" Nothing...first, we should leave this place...I am ready to starve even..I won't have anything here " His voice echoed his dislike...

That was a small restaurant that would be parallel to hell literally...  The ambience was not pleasing and the smoke was heavy which made everyone to faint... The furniture and the interior was horrible that no one would dare to eat anything there ...

Aditya was sitting on the edge of the chair as though he could run out at anytime... Leena chose to be quiet but scared to the hell...

Shravan didn't mind them and ordered some available dishes...

Suman's eyes were roaming around asif searching...

  There she is!!!!

She scratched  Shravan's elbow secretly , pointing the entrance...

Shravan was alert ... He made it clear that no one was noticing them..

  As expected the girl walked to them and sat on an empty chair which was beside Aditya...

   " Hello"

She smiled... Aditya looked at her obscure of anything...

" Sorry... I shouldn't have called you to this place... But, this is the safest place I know so far..."

She was clear in her statement...

Shravan cut her midway...

" Nevermind... But, who are you? Why did you help me? What's there in that place? Why that place is protected beyond anything? Why do you want to meet us?"

  She chuckled at his shoot of questions...

" So many queries?!".  She let her breath out, sighed...

" Sheeba... Serbian intelligence". She extended her hands with smile...

Shock would be the little word to describe their state...

It took sometime for them to accept it... Suman shook her hands warmly..

" Suman... CBI , India..."

" I know... You're special cadet in department..  I could get information about him too... " She pointed Shravan...

" And , I am meeting you both now only... Hello..."

She spoke casually..

Aditya and Leena formally shook their hands still not clear with what was going on...

" But, how did you get all this information?"

Suman interjected...

She laughed..." Do you think , I am a sex worker there?"

Suman mumbled and stared at Shravan that hinted him to question her ...

He gave a slight nod and turned to sheeba...

" Fine... Let's come to the point... Why should we believe you? And, if you're not a sex worker why did I see you there? What if you're a trap?"

Her face shrunk to seriousness...

" You're right... I don't have my IDs even...I know the reason of your Serbia visit... And, as a matter of fact, we are one team"

" What?" Aditya's tone was rude..

" Okay... Let's do this... Check the Serbian intelligence  department website using your special id as I did... Then,you will trust me"

  Suman nodded understanding her...

Witnessing her , sheeba continued...

"  our space research agency received a strange signal from space few months ago...  That may happen quiet normally... Our scientists didn't focus it much and later, the signal was received twice within micro seconds interval... That was a serious issue... That means someone is copying the signals unauthorized... We found out that one of our signal processing units is responsible for that... Strangely, we couldn't trace any signals in that particular signal processing unit... The same link was used by someone illegally... We traced the location and that's where I am now.. "
 

   She told in one breath...

Shravan keenly listened to her, nodding repeatedly...

" You're right... someone is trying to undertake the custody of our sattelittes...we  located and that's where we are now..."

  Shravan almost rephrased what she told...

" Now, you the Serbian intelligence have a dot...  Why don't you  move legally...?".

Aditya raised his query...

  " It's not that easy as we think..."she replied...

" First of all, the place we located was a prostitute's house and literally we don't have concrete reason to search the place.. if we do so , not only your country but every country will raise questions and we may undergo security and economic restrictions... As you wish ,we too believe to have a diplomatic relationship with every country... So, I was assigned as a secret agent..."

" I am there since a week...each time the customer arrives, I used to sedate them with alcohol and began to search... The corner, you hit with the electric shock is not a wall at all... It's the entrance to another world..."

As she spoke, all were at the seat corner to listen intently...

"  .. It's a normal prostitution place at day time... The corner adorns full security at night...no one is allowed to the restricted area... That's why you were caught up as the alarm went on... "

" I saw you  at the very  beginning itself, when you were searching around... When you observed the corner tight I assumed that you must be a cop... That's why I tried to rescue you... After I saw her, I was sure that I must help you... Perhaps, we must help each other...so, I hinted to meet you here.. "

She concluded and sighed...

Aditya eyed her..." What if we are not what  you have assumed?"

Aditya thought that she would be shocked with his question ...

But, she laughed...

" If  you were not the persons I looked for, I would have  pretended to convince  you for the second visit to the prostitution house as a customer..."

She winked... " To be frank, I didn't unfold the key to enter the secret place..."

Aditya wondered at her intelligence....

Shravan and Suman interchanged their smile, understanding her intelligence...

" So, welcome to the team... Sheeba"

Suman gave a thumbs up to her...

" My pleasure... " She reciprocated...

" Be ready... Tomorrow night we are getting inside the secret place... now, it's getting late...i don't want to spoil this opportunity...We shall meet again , to enlist the plan..."

She stood up to leave...

" But... In some other place... Please..." Aditya requested seriously...

She leaned close to him..." Mr. Aditya... We have no other choice... Meet you tomorrow"

As his face drew a disgusting grimace, shravan cancelled the orders and dragged him to the exit...
