All had gathered and Fais had just given the leadership to Avu. All were happy, but it didn't last long. One of the members came there running. 

M: Sir, ma'am, many people were kidnapped, but now the kidnappers and the old building has caught fire. There are around 10-12 people. 

Fais: You'll be leading this mission. 

Avu nodded and started instructing everyone. Fais remained between the members, wanting to see how she handles the situation. In the end the kidnappers were caught, all of them were saved and now they had to be taken home. They all were too scared to say anything, all the team members wearing a mask didn't help. But Avu calmed them, speaking softly with them, assuring them they are safe. Almost everyone's address was found, the team members taking them to their homes. Now only two were left, both girls. One looked to be around 3 years younger than Avu and the other 1 year younger. 

Avu: What's your name? 

Girl: Mahi. 

Avu: Mahi, can you say me where do you live? 

Mahi: I live in xyz area, but recently my home caught fire and everyone in my family caught fire. My uncle was taking me to his home but I got kidnapped on the way. I don't know where does he live. 

Avu: Ok, give me some details of him, we'll find him. 

Mahi gave them the details and a team member there already knew the person so took Mahi to her home. Avu turned to the last girl there when Fais held her hand to stop her and shook his head. The girl was unaware of her surroundings, looking out of the window, holding a bag in her hands. Faisneet went from there and returned after sometime in their normal attires without masks. 

Fais: Excuse me. 

The girl looked at them with a confused face. She was a cute chubby girl, her face was covered with dust. 

Fais: What is your name? 

She looked around then found a rock and wrote with it on the floor as it left behind red marks. Faisneet looked at each other. 

Fais: Reem? 

She nodded. Avu took out a book and pen and forwarded it to Reem. 

Avu: Where do you live? 

Reem wrote the name of an orphanage. 

Fais: Lets take her there then. 

She immediately stood up while shaking her head and moved back. 

Fais: Ok Reem, calm down, we'll not take you there. 

She looked at them hesitantly but then nodded. 

Avu: Where will you live then? 

She didn't ask the reason as Reem didn't look like she'd want to say it. Reem just shrugged. 

Avu: We can find some orphanage I guess. 

Fais: No, she is very scared of orphanages. 

He said seeing Reem's reaction. 

Avu: Can she live with me then? 

Fais: That would be better. 

Avu: Reem, will you live with me? 

She nodded. They drove back to Jaineet's home first. They went inside, Jai hadn't come yet. Avu gave Reem some clothes and she freshened up. She came out looking fresh and smiling. 

Avu: Better now? 

She nodded. ( I'll write it as Reem's dialogue but she is just writing it in the book.)
