{Book 2 in The Never Series}
"You won't say anything even now, will you?", he said placing his forehead against mine." Say something Avni.", his words were so silent that for the first time I was dreading him. I was afraid when he would just blast.

"Avni, pack your bags we are leaving for Manhattan right now.", Liza yelled into my ear.
"Liza it's two in the morning.", I clutched the pillow to my face but Liza being the stubborn woman she is, pulled it away and pushed me out of my bed.
Thud
"Liza.", I groaned.
"Sorry.", she smiled sheepishly."Now move your feet and start getting ready. I'll wake those two lazy butts."
"But why are we going to Manhattan suddenly?", I blew some strands of hair from my face still sitting on the floor.
"We have to meet someone very important there. He can solve all problems in a blink."
'Is she talking about Mr Khanna?'
'Of course not stupid.'
'He's the only person who can solve problems in a blink.'
My mind went into a tense state but before I could question Liza I heard a shriek from the living room.
"Liza.", Ivan thundered. I quickly walked to them and the scene in front of me was quite... comical.
"What happened now?"
"This woman here poured icy chilled water on our faces.", Reece complained, he and Ivan were holding Liza who was laughing.
"You guys weren't waking up, it's not my mistake.", she countered and elbowed Reece in his abdomen who slumped down on the floor, next she kicked Ivan in his knee making him loosen his hold on her. I facepalmed myself. These guys can't stay in peace for two minutes. God knows how did they travel by plane together.
"We didn't.", Liza spoke grabbing a chips packet from her bag."I travelled in business and these two in the economy."
'That's why they are alive.'
"Anyways you have 20 minutes. Get ready.", she turned to the boys."You have got a nice bath, change and get down within five"
And they followed like the two helpless men they were.

2 hours 57 minutes and 41 seconds later we landed in Manhattan. On the way, I asked Liza more than 28 times who are we going to meet but the only answer she gave me was that he is the person who can help me out of this mess.
So here I'm sitting in a Mercedes going to stars know where.
"When are we going to reach our destination, Liza?"
"And.", she stretched the 'd'."We are here."
We stopped in front of a skyscraper that had around 55 floors. Not a surprise! I came out of the car and looked behind only to witness Liza on a call. Her face had a serious look, beside her Reece and Ivan were checking something on their tablets too.
