Shield Security Services Headquarters

"VEERA"

Veera: Yes PSun

Sun: What the hell did you do?

Veera just gives him a puppy look.

Sun: Oh! Don't give me that innocent look you devil. What did you say to Rune?

Veera: Nothing.

Sun: Liar

Veera: I just told him the truth PSun.

Sun: What truth?

Veera: The truth that you miss him so much but you are afraid to call him.

Sun: VEERA

Veera: What? You have been loving him for the past 4yrs and doesn't dare to confess. So I thought of dropping a hint. But what I saw today, the feelings seem to be mutual.

Sun: What do you mean?

Veera: He was blushing on hearing your name.

Sun: No way. You are just bluffing. He sounded so upset when he called me earlier.

Veera: So go and cheer him up. You are his bodyguard, you are supposed to shield him 24/7.

Sun: I was just completing some pending work. I have someone else watching him.

Veera: Hmm. On a serious note PSun, you need to keep him under your radar 24/7. Even though they targeted Tanet, I have a feeling that they may attack his friends to get back at him.

Sun: Hmm. I will take care of him.

Veera: Okay.

Sun: So, did you finish setting up the command center?

Veera: Yes. I am just going there to test all the devices and tracking systems.

Sun: Good. Just call me if you need help.

Veera: Hmm

Veera leaves Sun's office and goes to the basement where they have set up the new command center. He punches in the passcode and enters the secret chamber.

Agent 1: Good evening Sir.

Veera: Good evening. How are things here?

Agent 1: Everything has been set up as per your instructions. We are waiting for you to check the devices and set up.

Veera: Okay.

Veera looks at the screen before him displaying various camera outputs. They had installed secret cameras in TRD industries head office as well as Tanet, Rune, and Daw's residence. A tracking device was pushed to their phones to keep track of their whereabouts. They had also installed tracking devices on their cars. One of the screens displayed the position of their cellphone and cars using different colored lines. Veera looked at Tanet's phone location and is surprised to see it showing somewhere far from the office. Veera looks at his phone and does not see any call from Tanet. Something feels out of place. He quickly moves from there asking the agent to update him if there is any change in Tanet's location.

Veera gets into his car and turns on the tracker app installed in his car. He enters his code followed by Tanet's tracking ID. A map gets displayed on the screen with the route to Tanet's current location. He speeds off to the targeted location.As he reaches the location, he is met by an eerie silence. He looks around and finds Tanet's car abandoned on the side of the road. He quickly looks into the car. The car is unlocked and his phone and wallet are still in the car. He looks around for Tanet but does not see him anywhere.The place is a bit deserted with thick forests on either side. He slowly ventures into the forest searching for Tanet. He didn't call out his name as he is frightened he might alert the assailants. He slowly walks through the forest searching every nook and corner. He then hears a rustling noise nearby. He quietly walks towards the bushes from where the noise came. He found Tanet crouched behind the bushes. He quickly placed his hand on his mouth and pulls him towards his body. Tanet looks at him wide-eyed.
