   Currently I'm sitting in a traditional Gujrat restaurant, and having some dhokla, and Gopal on the other hand went for walk to see around.

    "That would be 90 rupees." The waiter said when I asked for the bill. Well they don't have billing system here. I handed him a 100 rupees note, and walked out side.  After waiting for a few moments outside the restaurant I finally decided to do my own research about this lady. If I be totally honest, then we need a back up, because this woman controls the docks of Gujrat. Nobody knew could trace her all this year, nobody even knew if she was a woman. So it's easy to say she always keeps an eye out for everyone. I wore my mask and started walking towards dock, when I reached the dock I saw a green container was surrounded is surrounded by four women. That's suspicious. Those women look nothing like dock workers, then why are they trying to move it. Without any delay, I called Anthony.

     "Hey, Anthony do we have any shipments to recieve today?" I asked.
"Nope." Okay. "Then can you give me any info about a random green container which looks suspicious?" I asked. "What do you mean?" Anthony asked back. "Okay, this might sound wierd but, I feel like I have spotted some members of Bala's gang of thieves. They are all women, they have surrounded the box, and are trying to move it somewhere else, and they are quite in a hurry." I explained. "Okay, Rani I want you to listen to me thoroughly, every such containers always have some kind of marks on it to let other know which gang does it belongs to. Search for something like that." That would be easy. I replied an okay and moved closer to the box, and tried to get a better and saw two swords where drawn on it. "Um...it's two swords making a cross." I said over my earpiece. "Okay I'll find what I can. Go back to Gopal." He said. "Not now, find the owner of the container, and tell Gopal to meet them." I said. "Why?" Anthony asked. And I said him my plan. "Rani, I don't you to get hurt. Gopal will be furious. The plan is amazing, but you might die." He tried to convince me. But he can't. "I might get hurt a bit, but I won't die, trust me. Just do what I say. Also tell Gopal to wear a mask." I said. " Rani, keep the tracker hidden no matter what." Anthony finally said after a long paise, realise it's a waste to stop me
"Bye." With that I ended the call.

    I snuck up to the woman was gaurding the container, and twisted her neck at one go. Then I dragged away from the spot. After placing her on an empty boat, I took off her uniform and wore it, it was just a black salwar kameez and a black mask. Then I took her spot.

     "Hey, the truck is here, let's get moving." The comander walked upto me and said. To which I just nodded. After the container was placed inside the truck, four women including me sat beside it, with a gun in our hand. After waiting for long 3 hours, the truck stopped. I got down, and saw a building in middle a crowded town. I guess the people are aware of the illegal activities that goes on here. Me and the other three girls lined up and walked to the entrance.

   "Start removing your masks." The comander ordered. Fuck. Everybody started taking off their mask , but I stood still maintaining a low profile. I tried to snuck in without anyone noticing me. I noticed around and saw the container was being moved inside, but this time by some men. I quietly walk behind them and finally I was inside. That was close.
  
    "Hey woman, what are you doing here? You were supposed to be on the other side of the building. Only the men have the access to the inventory." A bulky man rushed towards me. I took a step back, and increase my grip on the gun. "Who are you?" He asked again. Fuck. At this point I was scared, I have no idea how to get out of such situation. Without thinking much I raise the gun, and shot him between his eyes, a watched his body fall down. "Get her!" Somebody yelled. I started shooting everyone in room, until somebody shot my hands, making the gun fall off my grip. I looked at the direction from where the bullet was shot, just to see a guy, probably a few years older than me hitting my with the back of his gun on my head and knocking me into darkness.

                       ...........................

  When I got my consciousness back, I was greeted with extremely bright light fall onto my face, unable for me to see anything else.
   
    "Who are you?" A deep voice startled me.
But I stayed quiet, I looked up to see the guy who knocked me out.. "Okay seems like you don't want to speak. That's quite normal though, I'll make you talk. Before that I need to search you for making sure you don't have anything under your sleeves. And I decided to ignore him once again, this time I looked into his eyes, and boy, he was clearly pissed, but I couldn't care less. "Billu! Nandu! Strip her right now!" He shouted. Please no no no! Before I could react, two similar looking men came forward. One of them gripped my scalp and another started tearing up my clothes. "No!" I cried out. But they didn't seem to stop. I struggled in their grip, but I was only reply with few punch on my stomach. Enough hard to make me cough out blood.

    After they were done, I was left on the floor, on my knees. "Let's do it again. Who are you?" The guy asked me again. And I didn't answer anything. Instead, " You work for Bala, right?" I asked. The guy got up from his chair, and crouched in front of me. "So what if I am, you'll only answer to her?" He asked. "It's you or her, I'm not going to answer either way. You can kill me if you want, you guys are already busted." I said. Where did that confidence came from?
"My mother is very busy to attend you, so I'll entertain you tonight. After all you are the first one to get inside the building without being noticed, you won't die that easily." He chuckled. "So, back to the main topic, who are you?" He asked me again, and I didn't reply. "Good, you want to play it hard, so I'll gladly make it so." With that I was kicked on the stomach.
  
     It's been three hours now, almost midnight. Within this three hours I've been beaten up by four men, had my nails pulled out, hot wax had been poured on me, my fingers were broken, both my thighs had daggers stuck on it, my body was all bloodied because this monster used a nailed whip on me. Now I'm sitting on a metal chair, while they are preparing to electrocute me. Kill me already. "Okay, so are you still going to be a stubborn bitch, or will you answer my question. Who are you?" He asked me for the thousandth time. "You know what, you are bad at this, it's been 3 hours and you still don't know who I am even after doing all that " I said, in a weak voice. He walked closer to me and and pushed a wooden stick between my teeth. It took me a moment to realise why he did that, but then I felt electric current running through my body, I screamed on the top of my voice. After sometime time which felt like forever, the electrocution stopped. Bala's son took the wooden stick out of my mouth, which was dripping from my saliva. I looked at him and so his eyes were boring holes inside me. "Will you answer me now?" he asked. To which I just said, "I don't think so, mama's boy." He grabbed my jaw and snarled, "You've got quite a mouth there, let's see what it is capable of." With that I was untied and was forced to kneel on the floor, with my hands being cuffed behind my back. He pulled his zipper down, and forced himself inside my mouth. This is too much, God, please kill me. He pulled my hair and started moving my back and forth, every time going deeper down my throat. My eyes where blurred with tear as I feel the bile rising up. I screamed again, but I was kicked on my chest. After a while when I couldn't take it anymore I puked all over his pants. "You disgusting whore!" He kicked me again on my stomach sending me flying across the room. The boy rushed out of the cell, ordering the other two guys to pack up and leave, and to be back tomorrow. I was lying on the floor as I saw the blurry figures of those two guys walk out of the door.  The moment they almost close the door behind them, I heard two gunshots, and the door was left open. Gopal.

   The door flew open to reveal the man, I was waiting for. Gopal rushed to me taking me into his arm. "Rani, don't close your eyes. Stay with me. Everything's going to be alright. We are going back." Gopal shouted.
"Gopal.." I took his name is a weak voice. He brought he's ears close to my lips, because it was quite hard to hear what I was saying. ".... don't shout." With that I was consumed by darkness.
