KS was watching through binoculars, she has put a person to install a CCTV in front of the shady restaurant. He was in electrician's clothes, pretending to work on nearby pole and installing a small but powerful camera. He finishes his work and goes to the counter to place a microphone. He sticks under the table in a dirty corner. KS smiles and leaves on her bike.
In MPT
As she returns,
Everyone: Jai Hind KM
KS: Jainhind, aise kyun dekh rahe Ho?
Santu: MS aapse ghussa hai.
KS: Kahe?
Cheeta: aap bina bataye late aa gayi.
KS: arey hum so nahi rahe the, kam kr rahe the. Hum bat krte hai.
She goes to the cabin.
KS: Jai Hind MS
HM immediately gets up from her seat and rushes to KS.
HM: kahan thi aap? Aur phone kyun nahi uthaya? Ek to risky operation me involved hai uprse aap aise gayab hongi to kaise chalega? Ab boliye bhi. Thi kahan subah se? Aaj tak to kabhi late nahi hui aap.
KS: Hum bolein kuch?
HM realises and steps back.
HM: Ji.. ji boliye
KS: hum CCTV lgwane gaye the, us Chinese restaurant ke samne. Ho gaya aapka kam. Plus ek bonus bhi hai. Microphone bhi fit kr diye hai hum wahan.
HM's eyes are beaming with awe and pride.
HM: wow, isse to kafi kam Asan Ho jayega.
KS: Ji.
HM: maf kijiyega thode pareshan Ho gaye the hum.
KS: Ji koi bat nahi.
Though KS was wondering why HM was so worried but she doesn't think of it much. On the other hand,
HM (in mind): hume nahi pata aapko is mission me involve krna chahiye tha ya nahi lekin ab aap humari jimmedari hai.
KS turns her back to HM after saluting her and is just about to leave,
HM: suniye, (KS turns) agli bar Jahan bhi jana bas ek call krke jana.
KS: Yaad rakhenge.
They both smile.
Around lunch time, a woman enters MPT, she is on the verge of crying.
PS: kya hua? Aap baithiye. Ye lijiye pani pijiye.
KS looks at HM whole getting up from her chair and gestures her that someone is here. She comes out. They both come near PJ's desk.
The woman drinks the whole glass of water and takes a deep breath.
PS: ab boliye
Woman: meri ekti wapas ghar nahi ayi. Phone bhi band aa raha hai. Aaj usko exam thi lekin wo college pahunchi hi nahi. Kuch samajh nahi aa raha hume. Please kuch kariye.
HM: Shant Ho jaiye aur detail me bataiye kya hua hai. Kuch bhi may chodna, chote de choti baat batayiye. PJ aap likhiye sab. HM eyes KS and shares concerns as she thinks this might be related to their mission. KS nods and listens to the woman carefully.
Woman: kuch dino de ghar me jhgda Chal raha hai kyunki meri beti Neha ko kisise pyar hai. Hume pyar se koi problem nahi hai magar wo pagal shaadi krna chahti hai. Abhi 12th exam bhi Puri nahi di. To hum sab use samjhane ki koshish me the ki pehle kamana Sikh lo. Aur wo ladka bhi isiki umr ka hai. Kuch din pehle wo ma'am gayi ki pehle thik de exam degi aur Baki bad me dekha jayega. Lekin aaj subah so nikli hai wapas hi nahi ayi. In dono ka phone band aa raha hai. Uske ghar bhi gaye hum lekin wahan pata chala ki wo kuch din pehle hi jagah chod le chala gaya hai. Mujhe bhot dar lag raha hai ma'am, please kuch kariye. Humne apne area me bhi report likhwane ki koshish ki thi lekin unhone 24 ghante ke baad ane ko bola. Tab tak bachhi ko kuch Ho gaya to?
KS: Dariye mat. Aur ye MPT hai yahan aap shehar ke kisi bhi kone se akar report likha sakti hai.
PJ: aapke pas uski photo hai?
Woman hands over the photo and gives other details.
HM and KS in unison: Santosh sharma/santu
And look at each other.
Santu: Ji madam phone track krna already shuru kr diya hai.
KS: MS hum ja rahe hai us ladke ke address par puchtach krne. Agar location pata chale to bata dena. Jainhind.
HM nods and goes back to her cabin. She dials a number to a social worker and asks if they know anything about such cases happening in 2 days of time but she gets nothing. She goes to Santu.
Santu: madam ladki ka phone to college area me switched off hua hai.
HM to the woman: aapke pas us ldke ka number hai?
Woman: nahin, ek bar bata ki thi lekin Neha ke phone se.KS is at the building gate and starts asking questions to the security personnel and others around the area. She gets to know that the boy was living with his parents and recently they shifted to somewhere else. No one knows where. She checks entry register and finds movers and packers' number and she calls them. Next she goes to their office and she finds their new address and their phone number.
KS calls HM
KS: MS us ldke ke baap ka number mila hai lekin koi utha nahi raha hai. Ek address bhi mila hai. Ek bar is phone ka location aur ye address match krke dekhiye taki hum wahan ja sake.
HM: Ji hume number aur address bhejiye. Aur Haan aap wahan akele nahi jayegi hum bhi ayenge sath me.
KS: Lekin MS...
But before she could finish HM cuts the call. They match the location and reach there. It is almost night when they reach there.
HM: hume savdhani se krna hoga. Agar unhe pata chala to wo ladki ko gayab kr sakte hai.
KS: lekin time barbad krna bhi to risky hai.
HM: aap sathi keh rahi hai. Kuch sochna hoga jaldi.
They both see a delivery guy leaving the premises and look at each other.
KS: hum jayenge. Aap call par rahiyr humare sath. Hum ishara krenge to aap andar aa jana wo bhi vardi me. She doesn't give chance to HM to utter a word and moves to back seat.
KS: wo MS hume change krna hai.
HM fumbles: Ji.. Ji hum utrte hai.
She stands outside the car, guarding it. After a while KS comes out with a collared T shirt and black jeans. She goes to nearby dustbin and finds an empty Amazon box. HM is looking at her and admiring how effortlessly she's doing all the tasks.
KS turns but before she could take a step HM holds her by wrist, KS turns, looking at HM.
HM: please apna khayal Rakhna, koi jaldbazi mat krna. Hume bataye Bina kuch bhi mat krna. Remember hum lead kr rahe hai.
KS: nishchint rahiye MS sab thik hojayega.
She takes hold her palm and rubs it in assurance. They stay there like that for a while, HM in uniform and KS in casuals, holding each other's hands.
KS leaves. HM is constantly listening to what's happening.
After a while she stops hearing anything. She calls out KS's name a multiple times but to no response.
HM: KS humse baat kariye. Kya Ho raha hai wahan? KS? Aap sun rahi hai? Koi hai kya wahan? Aap.. app thik to hai? Please baat kijiye humse.
She's very worried. She starts pacing back and forth, her hands holding her head, trying not to shout or storm inside.
HM: Karishma baat kariye humse.
And she hears a thud sound. Now she had had enough she is about to go inside when she hears KS's voice.
KS reaches the apt and finds the girl there.
KS: MS sir ladki hai yahan, ek kone me baithi hai. Thoda andar gayi thi me bas ek ladka hai aur koi nahi. Kuch khatra to nahi lag raha, aap aajayiye. Hum tab tak inhe baaton me vyst rakhte hai.
HM moves and reaches the apt door, KS is stalling them. They communicate through eyes. There is only the girl and the boy in the house. HM goes inside and officially takes them into custody. The kids look scared. They come back to the car, make the kids sit in the car. HM hurriedly walks towards KS and hugs her tight. KS hesitantly puts her hand on HM's back. They both feel the warmth.
HM loosens the grip and goes back to the car. KS is still looking at her. They silently drive towards MPT.
