Unit 001

Ep 1: Ain't No Rest For The Wicked

"Oh no, there ain't no rest for the
wicked
Until we close our eyes for good"

📌Parliament House,Delhi

"You know what happened twenty years ago Thappar"the security minister asserted lining his leather couch staring at Viraat who stood firmly in the assembly hall.

"There's noone else who remembers it better than me,sir"Viraat answered.

The chief minister scratched his head,still not sure of the decision to make or the side to take.

"Unit 001 is reinstated"the chief minister announced as he signed the papers.

"You won't regret it sir"Viraat assures.

"I better not Thappar,I better not"the chief minister sighed but Viraat didn't miss the underlying threat.

He can't make a mistake,not this time,not again.

......

"Still playing the holier than thou, don't you ever get tired?"Nitin Ahuja commented the moment Viraat got out of the assembly hall with the signed documents.

"Don't act like you ever did something"Viraat replied signalling the constables following him to split.

"That's the point Thappar I didn't,you did,all of that shit is on you"

"Atleast I'm trying to clean it up"

"Clean what exactly?blood off your hands"Ahuja smirked.

"Does Anjali knows?"he pressed.

"Don't"Viraat warned grabbing his collar.

There was a time when these two were bestfriends,bond thicker than blood and now well,all there left was blood,on Viraat's hands and a friendship that faltered twenty years ago.
........

Viraat Thappar sighed taking in the whole city from his terrace,Delhi,the darkness,the lights,all of it.

He's gonna make everything right, he has promised himself.

Twenty years of his hardwork, nagging of ministers,case reports but the instant surge in crime rate is what procreated The Special Force.

But at the end of the day he got what he wanted a chance at undoing the past.

And for that he chose the best of the best,the finest force of all.Well,that's what their resumes and performance said,but the truth was far away from it.

All were wrecks,broken and chaotic and that's exactly what he
needed,crackheads.

Broken enough to feel and skilled enough to fix it all.

Special Force or Special Crime Unit in Delhi ,it was not like other government agencies,it was made twenty years ago to look over everything that's overlooked and now was reinstated but for Viraat is was something more than that,much more than that.

His only way to right the wrong he did twenty years ago.

His path to salvation.

Viraat's phone buzzed in his pocket as he answered it with a sigh,late phonecalls never meant good news.

"Another girl dead, drug overdose,the home minister wants you to take the case up"the Delhi's ACP said with a growl over the phone.

........

📌Some brothel in Delhi

"This isn't an orphanage,take this little cunt away"the man said scratching his stubble and sneering at the barely five year old girl sleeping in the police jeep.
