The screeching noises of crickets, wasps, beetles trying their best to overcome the silence of the abandoned alley, but failed miserably. It was so gloomy and dark with one or two flickering light, that even a soul would think twice before stepping onto the lonely path.
But Today the silence engulfed path was blessed with an exception as clicking of heels, echoed all through the place, "You are early?"
"You are late" retorted back a response putting down the hoodie. As the hoodie was pulled down, the black managable curls fell right onto the tiny yet strong shoulders.
Did you get the pictures?" Asked a hooded figure. It's body was covered securely with a long black cloak. Not a trace of skin could be see. The black hoodie covered right upto her nose, assisting the person to speak clearly.
"Not yet" answered her visitor whose black curls remain slenderly on her shoulder.
"Do it fast!! I need to expose him" the hooded figure gritted it's teeth to which the curly haired girl clicked a step towards her, "Don't order me! I am trying".
Breathing out a loud huff, the hooded figure took a step back. It is at this moment the perfectly shaped red painted lips illuminated under the radiance of flickering light, "Do it as soon as possible. The faster you are, the sooner you'll get your reward" she said and the curly haired girl nodded. She pushed up her hoodie over her head and walked out in shadows....
The left girl smirked after her, "You are such an idiot, Ms. Shah" and her lips extended into a grin.

"Mr. Saxena!!" bellowed Rrahul directly without even wishing a morning as he entered his cabin rushing.
"In a hurry it seems Mr. Sudhir" said Mr. Saxena from the other side of the phone.
"Are you playing with me a game of irony Mr. Saxena?" Asked Rrahul clenching his teeth while trying to stay as calm as possible.
"What do you mean, son?" Asked Mr. Saxena shocked when Rrahul felt his boiling monster in him sat back down gradually. The word 'son' does hold immense power.
"The girl you sent is completely opposite to your words. All day long she is busy on phone, I guess boyfriend..." He said furrowing his eyebrows, "wait...." he soon released the tension between his forehead, "...she has a boyfriend. Roaan Regel. Yeah... and moreover too much unconcerned about her work" shouted out Rrahul in frustration and put his free on on his forehead. It's been two days and the girl is picking up on his nerves.
"Gosh!! Now I know what I have put my professors and teachers through" he can't help letting a smile escape through his lips.
"She is doing it on purpose" replied Mr. Saxena when Rrahul got snapped out of his memory lane.
"Did he take time to answer or was I too busy in my memory lane?" Rrahul tried thinking hard, "well he didn't call me..... I guess he took time".
"Rrahul are you listening me?" Called Mr. Saxena hastily.
"What do you mean?" Rrahul asked back while inserting himself into the conversation back.
"She is doing it so that you fire her out....." Said Mr. Saxena and Rrahul's eyebrows immediately shot up.
He waited for Mr. Saxena to speak further when the concerned elderly man continued,"..... She is not the type of person that gives up easily on her task. If she feels reluctant towards anything she simply provokes the person in front to drop her out of the job" completed Mr. Saxena and the listeners lips part open in astonishment.
