My Journey - A Left Right Left Story

XVIII

23rd June, 2006

Ek acchi team kaunsi hoti hai. Woh joh seamlessly function karti hai. Woh joh ek dusre ke liye jaan dete hai. Ya woh jo ek dusre ke liye kuch bui kar guzre.

Par yeh sab kar ne ke liye uss team ko ek dusre par completely trust kar ne ki zaroorat hai. Aur fillal mai ek team ka hissa hun, par woh team mere bina acchi thi, mere saath woh ok hai. I don't blame them for that, team mai se sirf Rajveer aur Chaubey mujhe somewhat jaante the. Baaki dono mai se sirf Captain Chauhan was making somewhat of an effort. Par Captain Randhawa toh esse behave kar te hai jaise main hi koi spy hun. Trust seems to have become an issue along with testosterone levels. 

Which brings us to today, and god damn it ! What the hell is it with men and doing things you tell them not to do.

So, hum jaante hai ki academy mai 2 spies hai. 1 Dr. Mishra aur 2 Mr. X. Aur yeh Mr. X kaun hai yeh hum nahi jaante. Aur uss failed bombing attempt ke alawa there has been a complete radio silence from him. 

Until a week ago. Pichle 1 week se we have been getting weird messages from him. Aur woh messages bilkul sense nahi banate hai. They were like clues par in the wrong order. Par hum usse jiss bhi order mai lagaye woh sahi nahi lagta. 

So, logically hume wait karna chaiye and find out more. But nooooo, the men in our team decided that ki adha-adhura trail follow karna zyadaa behtar hai. Aur Rajveer, Chaubey ke saath nikal pade uske piche.

Only problem. It was a damn trap !

Aur pichle 48 hours se koi contact nahi hai. Phones are untraceable aur unki jeep hume ek god damn gadhe main hai. 

Both the Captains had been over everything and they can't find anything. Uske upar se academy ne sirf 2 logon ki search party bheji thi. Woh bhi Major Nair aur Huda. And surprise surprise it was unsuccessful. Aur ab Chaubey showed up injured at the academy. Thankfully I was able to convince Dr. Shalini who in turn convinced B.C. to let me accompany them to the Army Hospital.  

Room mai pauchte hi,

Chaubey : Naina, Sirji ko ek terrorist group ne capture kiya hai. It is bad. Location ki details hai.........

Luckily not long after that Dr. Shalini told me it was time for us to go back. 

Wapas pauchte hi I raced to the meeting room. Shukhar hai ki aaj Friday hai and no one expects me to be here for the weekend. Information milte hi baki 2 nikal pade, aur mujhe medical equipment assemble kar ne ke liye chod diya. Kyunki being a female member automatically makes me the medical expert as well. Par kare bhi toh kya ?

Finally, subhe ke 4 bhaje they brought him back. Aur un logon ne Rajveer ki khatirdari mai koi kasar nahi chodi.

With a nice black eye, bruised ribs and a limp, Captain Shekhawat was back. 

I was just checking for a concussion,

Naina : So kaun hai woh ?

Gunny : Kya ? That is not a normal check up question. 

Naina : Rajveer ?

Abhimanyu : Jawab de dijiye Raj. Jitni jaldi Naina aapko clear kar de, utni jaldi hum report file kar sakte hai.

Rajveer : Naina tum kis ke baare mai puch rahi ho ?

Naina : Aap ko kya lagta hai ? Rajveer kaun hai woh ?

Gunny : What are you going on about ?

Naina : You followed the haphazard clues, got captured and a bit tortured by the terrorist group jiska member yahaan par ek spy hai, aur uske dauran kissi ne bhi thoda bhi show off nahi kiya ? Overconfidence mai thoda bhi slip up nahi kiya ?

So for the final time....

Stop the mard ko dardh nahi hota act and tell me how are your ribs feeling ?

Sir we need more females on this team. Testosterone level kuch zyaada hi high hai.

Shakti : I will consider it.

Rajveer kessa hai ?

Naina : Cap. has three bruised ribs, a bruised hip and a limp. No major head trauma and lasting injuries.

Shakti : Good.

Mujhe kal tak ek complete report chaiye from all four of you and Chaubey's report when he is conscious enough.

Abhimanyu : Of course Sir.

Shakti : Haan, there is something else. Recent events ke chalte, it would be better if you all had trackers on you. Par woh trackers kahaan lagaane hai iska decision aap logon ka hai. 

Gunny : Trackers ke location ko kaun access kar sakta hai ?

Shakti : Team members ke alawa, sirf main. Aur agar zaroorat padi toh aur logon ko bhi di jayegi.

Aur, Mr. X ki identity ko dhundoh. 

Dissmiss.

Naina (after Shakti had left) : Rajveer ?

Rajveer : Huda. Huda hai Mr. X. Un terrorist ne usko convince kar rakha hai ki woh army se hai aur main traitor hun. 

Abhimanyu : What ? How did they even pull something like that ?

Gunny : The same way they did this before. Sawal yeh hai ki hum Huda ko arrest kesse karenge ?

Rajveer : Hum Huda ko arrest nahi karenge ! Hum Huda ke future ko barbad nahi karenge ! We have the terrorist, and that's enough.

Abhimanyu : Par Huda abhi bhi ek spy hai. Just because we have the whole organisation arrested, it does not mean Huda is going to stop. Or trust you. 

Naina : Agar kal, hum Huda ko sab se weakest link ke saath ek room mai bandh kar de, toh he will slip up and tell the truth.

Rajveer : That's a brilliant idea. Agar main B.C. ko aaj report karun toh maybe we could implement this by today evening.

Naina (fitting her tracker) : You guys do that. I'll see you tomorrow evening with the report.

Ciao.
