Treasure of Ali Baba and the Sixty Eight Thieves

Chapter 10 : Planning Heist

Persia...

Everyone assembled at the shop.

"Its so hard to sneak out with you," Vikram said to Malika.

"Well, its easier for me to sneak out without you too, brother," Malika said.

"Alright, next time I am not bringing you with me," Vikram said.

"I don't need you," Malika replied. "I can sneak out myself."

"Woh woh, don't fight," Ujaas said. "We should start out meeting. Rohan was too much excited to steal those hints from the palace. I don't know why but this guy gets too excited over things like this."

"Hurry up you guys," Akash said. "I have my shop to look after."

"Alright alright, lets start," Vikram said. "So you told me that the clues you need are inside palace. So those must be somewhere in the treasury or some another room that I don't know about."

"I know something," Malika said. "There is a room where antiques are kept. Its a room which has not been opened for like a decade. Those hints must be there."

"Well, then its easy," Rohan said. "Just go to that room and bring those hints."

"Its not that easy my friend," Vikram said. "Guards are everywhere in the palace guarding every room. Even we need permission to enter rooms like that."

"Then how are you two gonna do it?" Akash said. "We can't enter the palace. Its way to risky for everybody which leaves you two. You two have to do this alone."

"We can plan this for the day of that festival," Malika said to Vikram.

"Yes, you are right," Vikram said. "Everybody is gonna be busy in that festival. We will plan it for that day."

"Yey, its me and brother duo," Malika said.

"So, its confirmed," Ujaas said. "We will leave those hints to you guys. Until then we can relax and enjoy."

"Yes, we have some time for the festival," Vikram said. "What should we do for now?"

"I am leaving," Akash said. "I need to care my shop. Tell me if you need me or something, Bye."

"Bye," Everybody else said.

"Hey, its evening," Rohan said. "Lets take Vikram to that place."

"Oohh," Ujaas exclaimed.

"Hey Vikram, listen," Ujaas said. "Lets go to that place."

"What place?" Vikram asked.

"That place," Ujaas said.

"What place?" Vikram said.

"Entertainment district," Ujaas whispered in Vikram's ear.

"What are you guys talking about?" Malika said. "Fill me in."

"Ahm, you need to go back to palace Malika," Vikram said. "Its too late. The sun's gonna set soon."

"No no no, I will go with you," Malika cried. "Wherever you are going."

"No, go back to palace," Vikram ordered.

"No, you always do this," Malika cried and ran away towards the market.

"You should stop her," Ujaas said. "Its dangerous for her out there."

"Nah, she is my sister," Vikram said. "She is safe own her own."

"What is he saying?" Rohan said.

They started walking towards the Entertainment district which was past market. When they were about to reach the market, they saw Giant running towards them.

"What the hell," Rohan said. "Its that giant guy from the arena. Why is he coming towards us like that?"

"Does he want revenge or something?" Ujaas said.

"Run, otherwise he is gonna kill us," Rohan shouted.

Ujaas and Rohan were scared and about to run when Vikram said, "Wait. Look at him. It looks like he got beat by someone badly."

Vikram took out his mask and wore it so that Giant could recognize him.

The giant came running and hid behind Vikram and said, "Save me Vikram."

"Look at you, do you think no one can see you behind Vikram?" Ujaas and Rohan thought.

"What happened?" Vikram asked Giant.

"Save me from her," Giant begged. "Or she will kill me."

"Who?" Rohan asked.

Next moment, they saw Malika coming towards them.

"You insect, come here," Malika shouted. "Let me beat you to death."

"Woh woh woh, wait a minute," Vikram said to Malika. "What happened?"

"This stupid guy needs some beating," Malika said in anger.

"I told you I am sorry," Giant said. "Please spare my life. Let me tell you what happened. I was at a shop drinking when this girl came and I mistakenly thought her to be the waitress. I was a little drunk so I asked her for another glass of beer. She told me that she is not the waitress but I still tried to make her bring me beer by showing strength. But, ended up like this."

"This is how you end up after disrespecting the princess," Rohan said. "But how did she beat such a monster? Even Vikram told us that he had to go all out to beat him in the tournament."

"Well well, they are royal," Ujaas said. "Its the royal blood after all. There is something different about them."

"Yeah, they are scary," Rohan said.

"Alright alright, Malika let me handle this," Vikram said.

"But he disrespected me," Malika said. "How dare he disrespect 'The Great Malika Antal'. I will beat him to death."

"Calm down Malika," Vikram said. "If you let him go this time, we all will go watch full moon to a specific location."

"Really?" Malika said happily. "Yey, we will have fun."

"How did her mood change so fast?" Ujaas and Rohan got confused.

"I am really sorry," Giant said. "I would never do such a thing."

"You better not," Vikram said. "Luckily she is my sister so I know how to calm her down. Otherwise, you would have been dead by now."

"Thank you Vikram," Giant said. "I owe you guys. Call me anytime if you guys need any help."

The giant left and this is how Vikram and friends made a new friend.
