The search for Senior Inspector Shreya and little Adarsh had taken a new turn. Just two days earlier, Abhijeet had received a strange call to say the least. At first he didn't take this information seriously, he thought the person on the phone was laughing at him. It wasn't the first time this had happened. But the details the man had given him left no room for doubt. This time the trail was the right one.

He hadn't dared to tell Daya, in case the trail led nowhere. He didn't want to give him false hope, again. Because this time he was not only in danger of losing Shreya but his child as well. Abhijeet knew that now he knew Shreya was alive and that she was pregnant, it would be much more difficult for him. Finding her on his side was the best solution.

At this very moment, the team he had put in place was about to enter the house where Shreya was. At least if the doctor's information was true, which he really hoped for. He had decided to join the team, in order to ensure the smooth running of the assault. He wanted to make sure nothing happened to Shreya or Adarsh. He knew all too well how things could go wrong so quickly.

They were all dressed, waiting for the right moment to deploy on the property. He had asked that the team be made up of very few men. He did not want to attract attention and only trusts a few people for this kind of operation. His team therefore only consisted of six people in whom he had complete confidence. They had worked together in the past and had always come back together. This time would be no different.

- "We're ready Abhijeet Sir," one of the men informed him.

- "Thanks Kavin, everyone come together."

Abhijeet put the photo of Shreya that Daya had given him a few weeks earlier in his inside jacket pocket. That day, the man had approached him with a sad look. He held this photo in his hand and gave it to him. When he wanted to know what was wrong, Daya told him that today it had been five months since Shreya had been missing, five months since the day he thought he saw her die in front of his eyes. He had explained that if he kept this photo, it would give him the necessary motivation to find her.

Daya didn't know, just like the first time, that he was doing some research on his own. He knew Daya well enough to know that he would take any risk to find his family and he couldn't blame him. If anything happened to his wife, he would do anything and everything to find her, bring her home. He couldn't imagine living without Tarika.

That's why he had preferred not to say anything to Daya. He wanted to make sure he was safe until Shreya came back. He wanted to see them happy, he wanted them to finally have a chance to have that life they had always wanted. They had already given so much. They deserved this chance.

Abhijeet joined the rest of the group and they set off. The house was about two miles north of their position, which would allow them to approach without being seen. There was no one at the entrance to the property, no guard and no camera, he hadn't seen one in the month. But if Daya was right, it was Karan Bohra and this man was leaving nothing to chance. There had to be one somewhere. Another reason they were acting at night. Even Bohra had to sleep, as well as his men.

The small group moved forward quickly and in silence. Each of them knew what was at stake and all knew they would not come back without the hostages. Everyone had a role to play, everyone knew how to act. Quickly, the house came into their sight and Abhijeet motioned for them to stop. He pulled out a pair of binoculars and surveyed the surroundings. There was no one in sight. But things couldn't be so easy.

- "Be on your guard," he whispered to the men before everyone deployed.

He walked around the house, followed by a man, and they found a door. The man turned the handle and was surprised the door wasn't locked. He turned to Abhijeet who made him understand to be careful. They entered discreetly, while being wary. Abhijeet suddenly feared that Bohra had been warned of their arrival and was waiting for them somewhere in the house. But even if he did, he would continue until he found Shreya and Adarsh.
