"You guys have really grown up",the old man in the Orphanage patted Aarav's shoulder as he looked at them with adoration

"Time just flies so fast",Veer said smiling

"That's right beta",the man said smiling back

"We should visit more often but you know our work always has us busy",Sameer said apologitically

"It's okay,I can understand the pressure of work life.Afterall I have worked all my life in making this place a home for all these children",He said reminiscing his own life

"You are really doing a great job and we could never thank you enough for providing us a home when we never had one.....",Shiv said gratefully

"If you don't mind,Can we have a tour around this orphanage?",Veer pleaded

"Do you have to ask this?Go head son",he said happily

Everyone left as Sameer sood there still.

"You don't wanna go?Seems like something is bothering you",he said looking at him

"Actually.. .. ... I wanted to know about the scam incident that happened here",Sameer said hesitantly

The man stood there speechless not knowing what to say

"How.. ... How did you know?",the man asked adjusting his glasses

"I heard the news about it somehow and I need to know",Sameer said intently.Now there was evident tension inbetween the two of them

"No!!! That's the biggest regret of my life.I wanna dig a deep hole and leave it in there forever to rot",the man shouted losing his control

"But...",Sameer didn't know how to convince him open up

"I should have never trusted Ram and Varma...",he said as he broke down

The names left Sameer in shock.His face was drained of all the colours.He was confused and lost in thoughts

"I'm.. .. Sorry..",Sameer said stammering as he left the room hastily

"This will be easy",Shiv said

"We got used to all these places so it won't be a big deal",Aarav said as Sameer walked to them

"So where's the target?",Sameer asked composing himself,as he joined the rest of the guys

"According to our research,the target is at the prayer hall",Veer said

"Can we get to it? Or should we wait",Aarav asked as a little boy walked past us

"Hey bro!!",Sameer called out as the boy looked at us in suprise

"Do you guys have some prayer session today?",he asked him

"Yes Bhaiya. I'm going there now ",he replied

"Do you have any idea when it will end?",Shiv asked

"Hmm.. .. Maybe in half an hour",he replied as he thought

"Thank you chotu",Veer said messing up his hair in an act of affection

They entered the hall as a lot of kids gathered in there

"We have to wait for sometime after everyone levae and work on our mission",Shiv instructed in a low tone

After half an hour,the people in the hall began to leave as the four of them stayed back

In a few minutes,the hall was empty

"Gotta start now",Aarav said as he scanned the room

"Got any clues",Veer asked
