Rogue Heroes - The Awakening

Quest and Queries

Kimaya was pacing in the hall, restlessly. It had been a while since Daksh, Aryan and Nimit had gone to meet Ashwin. Sachit was still trying to find information on that private number, but was unsuccessful. Yuhan and Bali were silently discussing, while sitting on one side of Sachit.

"Stop that, Kimi," Yuhan said, finally unable to control himself. "Your walking to and fro isn't going to help."

Kimi paid no heed to that, though and continued walking. Suddenly her eyes widened and she immediately sat on the other side of Sachit.

"Sachit, do one thing," she said, in an excited tone, "Search for Ashwin Sharma on social media sites, will you? Let's see if we can find something more on him."

Sachit nodded and immediately got to work. Finally, after a lot of meticulous searches, he found him on Facebook.

"Here," he said, showing it to the other three.

"Great," Yuhan said, excitedly, "Now see if you can find his number and address from here."

Sachit nodded with a smirk and got done to work. Just then, the trio, who had gone out to meet Ashwin, came back, looking indignant. The other four gave each other confused glances at that. Daksh was so angry that he picked up the nearby vase and threw it. It landed on the wall, in front and broke with a loud crash.

"Daksh," Kimi said, in an exasperated tone, "What the hell are you doing? You seriously need to attend anger management classes."

"Kimi, please," Daksh said, angrily turning towards her, "I am seriously not in a mood for your lectures. Save it for some other time."

"Aryan, Nimit, will you all please tell us what happened?" Yuhan asked, patiently.

"The arrogance of that man touches skies," Aryan said, in an irritated tone.

"Exactly," backed Nimit, "He literally enjoyed playing with us, with his words. He was just not ready to divulge anything to us."

"That means, you didn't get any information from him, right?" Bali asked, trying to understand their rounded words.

"Nothing," said Aryan and Nimit, simultaneously.

"Yes," Sachit jumped in excitement. Kimiya, Yuhan and Bali turned towards him in excitement, while Daksh, Aryan and Nimit shared a frown.

"You found his address?" Bali asked, excitedly.

"Whose address?" Nimit asked.

"Ashwin Sharma's home address and not only that, I also found his number. And guess what? It's the same private number that had called Viren sir," replied Sachit, with a proud look.

"Oh! He was the one who had called Viren sir. But what are we going to do with his home address now?" Aryan asked.

Kimiya and Yuhan shared sly looks with each other and said, "Search it, of course."

The other five gave a deadpan look to them.

"Who would have said that the studious and quaint son of Mr. Pradeep Ratnaparkhi would turn out to be this rogue, huh?" Aryan said, a smile forming on his lips. Yuhan just rolled his eyes at that, while the others chuckled lightly.

"I guess then, we'll leave," Sachit said, closing the laptop and handing it over to Kimi. "It's late."

"Can I... can I stay for tonight?" Yuhan asked, hesitantly. "The hostel gates close at 9. I didn't realize it until now."
