Aditya.

"Aditi...go" Aditya said in between struggling, but I was transfixed to the spot.

The person who was chasing me gripped my elbow and dragged me to the car where Abiram was standing.

"I don't have time" Abiram said "deal with him and bring him to the headquarters" he started to move back to his car "Don't kill him though" he added to his people before he opened the door and get inside.

"Leave me-" But I was pushed inside the car and sanjay took the seat next to me and the car started to move forward.

"No!" I shouted "Aditya" I struggled to get out and saw that he was still fighting with the remaining people there while the cat moved forward with me.

"Leave-"

"Shut the hell up" Abiram took my chin and turned to his side roughly, I felt something pressing to me.

"Be quiet or I will shoot you now" he warned.

"Shoot me then, you bloody-"

"Don't Provoke me, I will ask them to kill him too" his evil eyes bored into mine and I didn't doubt him.

He will kill Aditya.

I stilled.

"Hurry up, we need to reach there fast" Abiram ordered and the car practically flew through the road.

"Inform them that we are bringing two special guests along" he said sadistically as the car moved to the highway.

Then Abiram's phone started to ring.

"Hello? bring him-what?" Abiram listened "ok, if he's injured badly, then no need to drag him all the way, finish him off" he said "We have one of them with us anyway" He added and disconnected the call.

Aditya is injured badly? Finish him off!?

"What did you do to him!?" I screamed at Abiram now and started to struggle.

SLAP..

I didn't even feel the pain as I tasted blood from my lips. I was busy trying to attack Abiram and he hit me with the gun.

"Hold her back!" he shouted and sanjay somehow managed to drag me off him and started to tie my hands backward.

"It's no problem even if your guy escaped" Abiram sneered at me "I got you, You are my ticket to finding your gang"

"I will kill myself before that" I spat at him.

"You bloody-"

But before Abiram could complete, All of us were thrown back as the car came to a sudden halt, Almost hitting the bike in front.

"What's it?" Abiram shouted.

"Sir, someone is blocking the way" my driver said.

Karthik.

It was broad day light and I corrected the black mask and baseball cap on my head.

I touched the bluetooth as I listened to trisha.

"Karthik..I will-"

"No" I cut across Trishana "I will take care here, Take care of Aditya first" I said as I stared at the car in front of me.

"I have taken care of it, Nitin is already there, You can't manage them alone, sanjay is a professional killer-"

I didn't hear the rest as I disconnected the bluetooth and climbed down the bike.

"Who are you!?" Abiram's driver shouted as other two vehicles started to blow horn from behind them.

I will show you who I am...

I walked to the side and the first thing I saw was the bleeding on Aditi's face. She had a splitted lip and finger marks on her cheek.

The fury inside me was uncontrollable and I reached the car door and opened it in a snap.

"You!" Abiram started to raise his gun, but I was faster, I twisted his hands and dragged him out of the car in a swift movement.

The anger was still bubbling inside me and I kicked him and he fell down to the ground.

"Kidnapping in broad daylight?" I asked as I gave another kick on his middle "Attacking innocents?" I kicked again "manipulating the law-"

"Leave him!" Sanjay, Abiram's bodyguard appeared from behind with a cry and I turned and kicked him away, making him fall backwards.

I turned to Abiram again and continued to kick him while Aditi was already out of the car and shaking me.

"Let's get out...let's go" she keep on saying while I turned to sanjay who came back at me with full force.

I blocked him again and fisted his jawbone.

"Karthik please...we..we need to get out or the police will come!" she said and I froze.

I can't get caught.

Dad will know..

I can't afford to lose my rank in my organisation too..

But I was too mad with fury that I can hardly control myself.

"Karthik?" Aditi shook me as I watched sanjay getting ready to attack again.

"Are you alright?" I turned to her and she nodded.

So I took out my gun and pointed straight at sanjay who stilled.

"Move back" I said as I moved towards my bike, guiding Aditi with me "come on"

Nobody stopped us as I took my bike and started it.

So everything was finished within a few minutes.

"Aditya-"

"He's alright" I said as I accelerated.

Trishana.

"Aditi..they..they..took her away-"

"Karthik got her back, She's fine" I told him as I supported him to the car "you are bleeding Aditya!"

"I have controlled it for now" he said "it's nothing to worry"

"Shut up! I'm taking you to the hospit-"

"No!" he said "I can't allow that, They know that I am injured, Surya group will check...all..hospitals.." he groaned.

"Shut up okay, lean back" I tried not to get panicked as Aditya looked pale.

I started my car, Changed the gear and Aditya touched my hand.

"No...hospitals..please.." he said and then closed his eyes.

"Aditya!" I shouted as his hand slipped away and I watched in horror as he lost consciousness.

Arjun.

I followed her, keeping a safe distance away, I want to know where she's taking him.

According to the information I obtained, One of the guys is seriously injured and Abiram has sent all of his men in search to all the hospitals nearby.

So I was surprised as Trishana drive straight, not stopping by any hospitals and she moved off from the main road.

Where's she taking him!?

I followed her as my phone started ringing.

"Karan?"

"Sir what happened? Nitin brought trishana's camera back, but she's not here yet" he said.

I had followed her the moment I got the news, but when I reached the location, I saw her supporting the guy into a car.

"She's taking the injured guy to the hospital"

"You are following her now? That guy is injured? why don't you inform everyone then? All of them are searching for him!"

"Don't talk like Abiram and Mahesh" I said "I want to know who they are, for that, I need to follow them" I said and slowed down my car as she drive inside a mansion like house.

"Karan get me the details of the house here, I will send you the location" I said.

"Okay" he said

"What about trishana's camera? I asked him "I don't know how much of it she has captured, but I'm sure it will do great damage" I said slowly "can you get rid of that pictures?" I asked.

"That's..impossible now, her assistant is guarding it with his life" karan said "but let me try"

Trisha.

"He is stable now" Uncle prakash said "but it could have been fatal if you were late" he said.

I sighed.

"Thank you uncle" I moved down through the wall and collapsed to the floor "I ..I was worried" I said and opened the vibrating mobile phone.

"Yes, uncle said he's fine now" I said "he just need some rest" I said and disconnected.

Everyone including karthik and Aditi was back at estate house, Waiting anxiously.

"I don't normally do these cases here, this is a small clinic to help the neighbours" Dr.prakash said "be careful next time, the first one hour is the golden hour for a trauma case, You have to get help as soon as possible" he said.

I nodded.

"I just didn't want them to find Aditya in the hospital. They sent people after shahid when he was hospitalised, I didn't want it to repeat"

"He needs complete rest for the next three weeks" Dr.prakash said again.

"I understand" I nodded.

Arjun.

"Dr.prakash
Cardiothoracic surgeon.
City hospital"

I read the details sent by karan.

And just like that, things started to make sense.

City hospital.

It's where all of these things started.

Shahid was admitted there.

Varsha was there.

When trishana was hurt last time,Karan said she asked him to take her to the city hospital instead of the nearby hospitals..

This Dr.prakash...how's he connected to them? Why is he helping them?

The reports on Dr.prakash was pretty clean and he looks like a sincere doctor.

I looked at the house. It's been three hours since he was taken inside and there is no response yet.

"Boss"

Karan knocked on my window and I turned to him.

"You are here?"

"My working hours are over"

I stepped out of the car.

"It's that house, watch carefully and tell me if any other cars are coming or going" I ordered and he nodded.

"So this is the place they were hiding at?"

"I doubt it, it's too dangerous for them to stay at the heart of the town" I said "but I guess it's one of their safe houses, As long as we wait patiently, we will get what we want" I said.

"Why don't we just barge in and take them now?" he asked and I raised my eyebrows.

"I thought you hate violence?"

"I do!" he said "but leaving them will create more problems" he said "we better take care of them as soon as possible"

"Karan, even if we get the guy inside, He will not speak a word, we can't get others through him" I said "I would rather wait and watch patiently, he will lead us to others" I said.

"There is only one way to trap them" I added.

"What's it sir?"

"Get them all together, so that they can't get away or get help from outside" I said "I plan to do that"

Shahid.

This is all because of me.

I was so restless to find my daughter and I didnt even thought about other's safety.

I watched as varsha was trying to help Aditi take care of the wound.

She came back to the estate house with karthik while Trisha and Aditya was still at uncle prakash's place.

"The wound may get infected" varsha tried again and she turned her head away.

"Aditya is not here yet" she said robotically.

"He's on his way, Don't worry" I said.
and karthik leaned back to the settee.

He had a bandage over his knuckles, but looked otherwise okay.

"Aditi.." varsha started again but she still refused to corporate.

She had been like a robot since she came here with karthik.

"You need to take care of-"

"Move, varsha" I heard the demanding tone and turned back to see karthik standing near them "I will take care of her" he nodded to varsha who nodded back.

She placed the first aid kit on the side and got up.

"Aditya is safe, there is no point in refusing your treatment because of it" karthik said as he sat beside her.

But as soon as he took her hand, She started to turn back again.

"Don't touch me, I don't want treatment"

"I will decide that" karthik held her hand tightly.

"Mind your own business!" she said angrily.

karthik took the tweezer out and started to wipe her wound with the cotton "I am minding my own business, You are my business now"

"Let me go!" Aditi said.

varsha and I looked at each other, worried.

"Stay still or it will hurt" karthik warned "I will not hesitate to tie you up if I need to, so stop being childish now" he said seriously and Aditi stilled.

I watched in wonder as karthik worked easily.

It seems like karthik not only knows how to push her buttons, but also know how to deal with her stubbornness.

"It's not your fault Aditya is injured" he said softly as he finished the dressing and Aditi jerked slightly.

She was blaming herself?

"He's right, Aditi, you should blame me instead" I said "I was the one who sent you there without thinking about it" I said.

"It's not your fault shahid, you didn't know they were waiting there" varsha said.

"I can understand everything else" karthik said slowly "but the library, If priyanka and you were the only ones who knew about the library, How come they know about it?" he asked.

I was refusing to believe that.

"You mean...priyanka..she is already in their hand!?" varsha asked in shock "but then izzy...?" she didn't complete her sentence.

"I don't know, but if my daughter is with surya group, it's past time they would blackmail me, They need me to decode the Ajith roy files"

"That's right, they won't wait" karthik agreed.

"Then what's going on?" varsha said.

"It's Aditya!"

we heard the sound of the car and all of us ran outside.

I hurried forward as trisha opened the backdoor and helped Aditya to move.

"Slowly" Trishana said

"I am not dead!" Aditya laughed at his own joke and grimaced in pain.

None of us moved as we watched him.

He looked pale, like he had had a lot of blood loss and he looked tired, weak and just like a comatose patient.

"I will bring the wheelchair" Trisha moved and he tried to get up.

The next thing I know, Something flashed across and Aditya groaned.

"Aditi" he said as she hugged him.

All of us waited for her to say something, but she just held him close and Aditya hugged her back.

"I'm so glad that you are safe, Aditi"  he said slowly, tapping her on the shoulder and she just held him for a few seconds before letting him go.

"Here is your wheelchair" trishana pushed the wheelchair to his side "doctor Prakash said you will need another surgery if you don't take care of yourself" she warned.

But Aditya was still looking around.

"you alright, Aditya?" Karthik came forward to help him and Aditya enveloped him in a hug.

everyone including karthik was stunned.

"Thank you" Aditya said "Thank you for getting her back, Thank you for keeping her safe" Aditya was emotional.

"um..you don't need to thank me, Aditya" karthik said "If she's not around, I will be bored out of my mind, I won't have anyone to bully" he said and everyone laughed.

Karthik supported Aditya to the wheelchair.

"you better take care of your health now" he added.

"I really can't stand this bromance guys" Trisha said and varsha and I laughed "let's move inside, I am dead tired" Trisha said.

Arjun.

"What do you mean by that, they disappeared!?" I asked karan.

"I waited there the entire night, They never came back" he explained.

I thought for a moment.

"Do they have another way out of there?"

"The plan of that house had none" he said "Her car is still parked there"

"I Am sure that there is a way out" I said "And even if you were to follow them, they would have made some kind of distraction to escape" I added, thinking  about what they have done before.

"You knew it? Then why did you let them escape!?"

"I suspected it, I was not sure" I said "but now that we know something connected to them, it will be easier to trace them"

"What's it?"

"Dr.prakash from city hospital, Find me everything on him" I said and turned to my project board.

"But trishna's project is not over yet" karan said and I smiled.

"Don't worry" I said "I will take good care of her while you start to follow Dr.prakash" I said.

"You sounds like you are interested in her" karan stated

"Of course I am interested in her" I shrugged "she's my case, after all"

"I don't mean that way-"

"I have a meeting to attend" I said "start working on Dr.prakash, I need the report this week"

I ordered him and walked out.

I Am sure that the meeting hall will be a mess today.

And it was true, For we had an injured Abiram who was still fuming angrily and another suspended SI, Thomas mathew.

So all in all, everyone was incredulous and angry at trishana and her gang.

"That bloody bastards dared to mess with me" Abiram said angrily "They even took back that girl"

"We can't underestimate them anymore" mahesh said "We need to take care of them" he added.

"Our men went to all the hospitals nearby, That guy didn't turn up for treatment"

"This is all because of that reporter, if we had taken care of her first, everyone else will be under our control" SI thomas mathew said, Apparantly still angry at the article she published in the truth magazine that got hime suspended.

"She's working with the ACP suresh kumar, Do you want to provoke him?" I turned to him.

"Dont mess with him" SI thomas Mathew said quickly "He is an officer whom we can't bribe" he said "And he's already trying to get a search warrant for surya ice factory"

"Then what are we supposed to do now?" raghav sir asked "we can't just sit back and watch" he said.

"Arjun, you were in charge of collecting informations on them" father looked at me "how's it going?" he asked.

"They are 6 people" I said "Trishana, Shahid, Varsha, Karthik, Aditya and Aditi" I said.

"How in the world did you get their names!?" pramod looked at me "I thought they were untouchables!"

"Unfortunately they are still untouchables now, I Am still chasing them" I said.

"So we don't have anything on them?" Father asked.

"I need some more time, They have covered themselves well"

"I will get my hands on them" Abiram said angrily "Especially that guy who attacked me today, I will kill him personally" he said.

Trishana.

"So they even know about your secret place" I said.

"They are searching for my daughter" Shahid said "And if they get their hands on her..." he dragged off.

"Let's try to find izzy, we can't just give up because of this incident" Aditya said from the wheelchair.

"But it will be difficult for us if they start to appear everywhere" I said "especially if they are ready to do anything like kidnapping and using violence "

"They are hunting us down" varsha said.

"Trisha, what's this about?" karthik showed me the new copy of truth magazine that I had brought there "You are Publishing the Trial on Maya case?"

"Yes" I said slowly "I wanted to know if surya group blackmailed them and tried to locate her family...but her whole family is missing and I am sure that mahesh surya narayan is behind this" I said angrily.

"The bastard.." Aditi said angrily "Attacking her and destroying a girl's life was not enough for him?!"

"We need to kill these guys" varsha said "or they will keep on repeating this"

"That's right, Someone needs to control them" Aditi said "They were going to kidnap me today!" she said.

"Me too" varsha said "They arrested me from the skylines and handed me over to surya group" she said "I would have been dead if it's not for you guys" she looked around.

"Me too.." I said slowly "Mahesh's private goon took me to the surya headquarters! Whoa! think of it! All of us were at least attempted to be kidnapped by them!"

"And they are after my daughter now" shahid said "What if they get her?" he said worriedly "or what if they already have her!?"

"I got it!" karthik said "we need to abduct someone from their circle before they gets their hands on izzy" he said.

complete silence followed his statement.

"Are you really a police officer?" Aditi asked him "You kidnapped me too, are you really-"

"That's a brilliant idea" shahid spoke up "If they know about that library, that means they are too close to finding priyanka" he said "so we need to get someone important from them to ensure izzy's safety" he said.

"You mean..We should kidnap someone important from them!?"
