The Christmas Eve

The night sparkled with shining stars and brilliant moon. Cold breeze whistling through the air. Tickling over the waves and whispering through the palm groves of Juhu beach, it is moving in a playful mood. The moonlit beach in its mesmerizing beauty made everything dissolve like an illusion..it felt a like Shangri-las of wordly beauty in the heart of Mumbai..

The beach hotel is hosting a grand party in its banquet hall. The luxurious party thrown by a business tycoon for his new business venture bagged up with notable persons of the country including political leaders, celebraties, billionaires even few government officials.. The place sparkled like pieces of mirror lit up by hundreds of lamps. Everyone's enjoying found themselves like floating in zero gravity filled with champagnes, music, food and entertainments.. The place shown like a petit Paradis..

Meanwhile, a woman with red embellished bodycon dress and velvet red pumps rushed through the corridor heading to suite 303 with a tightly held key card in her right hand. Her face was pale and nervous. Though her lips were trembling with fear her eyes were wide and sharp which moved in some uneasiness. With clenched fists and resorting herself to the situation she still seemed like a strong, bold and stubborn girl in a gargantuan mission. With earbuds on her right ear, fixing the button camera on her bracelet, she opened the door with cumbersome courage. It was the presidential suite owned by the business tycoon. She pressed the earbud and started searching through the cupboards, beds, bags and table to find something so relevant.

"I heard it..
I'll explain..
let me find it.. wait..

Have a close eye on every one.. especially his chauffeur.. he's damn dangerous.. he's..

. If anything seems wrong just inform..
Ufff.. I'll.. heyy.. na..

(all of a sudden in great excitement) Hurrah!! Bags got unlocked..
I found something fishy in it..
Tell Mihir not to let any room boys this way..
I got the laptop.. a kinda device.. a chip, and a pen drive..

I was expecting this very thing..

he's the crocodile of our pond.. what..cam.. not.. what is going on.. your voice is breaking..
damn.. Oh Jeez!!
What the heck is going around?
STOP HIM!! Wait..wha..how could you say this?
Stop him.. Just two minutes..
no it's the last suite.. it's the end of this corridor.. no way to escape after all it's that.. you hear me??"
She spoke through the bluetooth to her crew .. who were her best companions in all her missions which started from the sweating days of training ground to all the hardship they went through..
Files got transferred and replaced everything not leaving any clue but took the pendrive and a chip with her. She finally managed to get out of the room.
But..

Pressing her earbud, she got absorbed in the situation..got gasped to the unknown reality of the disheartening future.. her eyes got more widened.. sweat dripping over her eyebrows that got gliding through her cheeks.. her heart got beating like a turbulent tornado.. beating faster and faster.. an irresistible fear and heaviness ghosted over her. She found stuck to the ground.. the unknown reality she's gonna deal.. she thought everything is over.. totally puzzled..

All of a sudden.. she regained her courage.. and said"not more than 30 seconds?? 30!!30...no way?? Find.. find a way!! Don't give up.. trust in God you have to save them"

Suddenly something caught her eyes..
