      "THE ARMY INVOLVEMENT"

In hospital.

Doc:
Attacker ki death heart attack se hui hai.
Mallika:
Heart attack? But, he was all fine, he was hitting, running..
Doc:
Maybe that's why it gave him a heart attack.
Mallika:
Hmmm, also we found RX 40 was involved.
Doc:
RX 40? Suna suna sa lag raha hai.
Mallika:
Its a poison. Its highly dangerous. Isse use karne ki permission sirf army ke pass hoti hai. Isse access karna impossible hai. Blood mein nahi milta. And agar ye poison involved hai toh iske traces body mein nahi milenge.
Doc:
But Major, only 1% of the best docs know this that ye poison leg ke nakhoon ko blue kar deta hai. Jo isne kiya hai. And also for ur info, 4 saal pehle ek case aisa hi aaya tha heart attack tha my senior did notice the blue thumb, body ki autopsy ki gai par kuch nahi mila.
Mallika:
Thats really useful. Patient ka naam yaad hai apko?
Doc:
Aahh shayad--

Mallika sees a man looking in the room.
She runs behind him and soon catches him.
She punches him but with no objection the man  hit her back. She pointed gun at him but he within secs he took the gun a unloaded it.

Mallika:
Kon ho? Kisne bheja hai? Bolooo!!!

She kicked his balls he got weak there but soon hit Mallika with a flower pot and ran away leaving Mallika on the staircase.
Her nose was bleeding and head was spinning.
Meanwhile Varun and Sumedh came to the hospital with CBI officer Mr Mishra.

Sumedh:
Sir, I have been trying to contact Major Mallika for a while but she isnt responding, she must be middle of something very imp. Lets go to the room first.
Mishra:
Ok. Waise Sumedh tum pehle army mein the na.
Sumedh:
Yes sir. I left 3 yrs ago. My father, Yash Mudgalkar, his health is not going well, i wanted to spend time with him.
Mishra:
Hmm...good decision. Aaj kal ke baache apne parents ko phone nahi karte and u left the army. Proud of you.
Sumedh:
Thank you sir.

They came near the staircase and Varun saw Mallika who was holding the railing and trying to get up.
Varun was shocked to see Mallika injured as he had never seen her injured, he always saw her fighting.

Varun:
Major Mallika!!

Sumedh and Mishra looked where Varun was looking. Sumedh rushes to Mallika skipping 3 steps on the staircase. He holds Mallika's hand just when she is about to fall. He supported her head with his palm.

Sumedh:
Mallika! Mallika!
Mallika:
Sum...sum..attack..er..get him..

She pointed at the fire exit. Sumedh gestured Varun to catch him, Varun did as instructed.

Sumedh:
Someone call the doc! Take her to a room! Fast!
Mallika:
No..I...am ok...!
Sumedh:
Who asked you? Shut up!

Mallika is taken to room.
She is given pain killer.
Mallika is sitting on the bed so is Sumedh in front of her.
Mallika is helping herself with the hot bag on her head.

Sumedh:
Shakal dikhi?
Mallika:
Yeah. Sumedh, I may sound unrealistic but...I am sure someone from army is involved. Infact there could be more that 5-6 people too...like an organization. You getting me?
Sumedh:
Shut up Mallika! I trust ur theories, I will ask for the reason too but look at you.. Major Mallika Singh lying on a hospital bed.. Kidding me? How could he over power you. What is happening? Tumne mujhe takk haraya hai so why not this attacker?
Mallika:
He was from the army. I am  sure abt this! The way he unloaded my gun...so sure....but he was more powerful than an normal army officer...how?
Sumedh:
Tell me ur theory
Mallika:
RX 40 was involved, the fighter was so strong, his tricks and his eyes were so fearless!
Sumedh:
Hmm....Btw, the chef, he is Puneet Thapar...and also...a ex-army.

Mallika and Sumedh slip in silence while Sumedh helps Mallika with the hot bag. Sumedh suddenly breaks the silence.

Sumedh:
Mallika! I am with you in this case.
Mallika:
I will be glad to have you.
Sumedh:
Mishra gaya hai CBI headquarters.

Varun enters.

Varun:
Sumedh sir, i checked the whole army data, iss naam ka koi insaan tha hi nahi.
Sumedh:
3 saal pehle saara data computer mein shift kiya tha so jo manual archive file the usme hume ye Puneet jarur milega.
Mallika:
Woh files CBI headquarters mein honge.
Varun:
Permission leni padegi...
Mallika:
Abhi hum Mishra ke pass jaate hai. Unhe case handover karna hai. Unse permission le lungi.
Sumedh:
Yeah and seriously I didnt sleep well so I am home. And Mallika, dad wants to meet you, come home for lunch.
Mallika:
Sure.
