LAST MAN STANDING

CHAPTER-02

Meanwhile, in Delhi, RAW headquarters, chief Parvez Rawat was busy on the phone with the prime minister. "yes sir, it is confirmed. Omar Faruq is alive." said the chief. The prime minister gave a silent gap. He was thinking about ways to deal with the situation. "look, I am going to have a meeting on an agreement about exporting minerals with the Pakistan prime minister soon. We are very close to reducing the conflict between both countries. Our ties with Sri Lanka, China, and Nepal are in good condition. Until Omar Faruq creates a move, we are not going to take action.", the prime minister warned. "But sir...". "No Rawat, we cant talk more on this right now and I won't provide you with a team. My schedule is completely booked. I have to go for a campaign. Bye. Jai hind." The PM told. "bye, sir. Jai hind."

Someone knocked on the door. "yes, come in." "Sir, we just got a lead from one of our informers. Please come immediately". Rawat was pacing fast across the corridor. They reached the team's desk. Ravi, one of the senior field officers, was explaining. "These were some pictures we found from New York, sir. Chang was seen dealing with some drugs and smuggling Krygonium." "he is a weapons dealer. Why does he need Krygonium?". "sir, we have also heard Chang and Omar Faruq are on an agreement. They will be having a meeting soon.", Ravi mentioned. "where are they going to meet?". "in Hyderabad." "why in India?". "No sir, Hyderabad in Pakistan. It's going to happen, next week."

Rawat was worried. He couldn't wait for the prime minister's campaigns to get his hands on those terrorists. He had to think of some plan immediately. "ok, Ravi. The prime minister is busy. So we cannot inform him. We must do a covert operation right now. Try to get the best team on work." "Sir, who will be our team leader?", Ravi asked. "Leave that to me." Rawat went back to his office.

In Moscow, Russia, Chang's brother Kim was taking care of all the drug business for him. He currently had 100 people in his gang. He is more violent and impulsive than Chang. He does not think carefully. He was now going to strike a deal with some local dealer. while he was in the car, His phone started ringing. "hello, how are you, Chang?". "All good. Hope everything is going well with our business. Don't worry I will come back fast and we can party all day. I am going to create something amazing with which we are going to rule the world, brother. We will rule the world." "We are already doing that, Chang. We will always rule. Just a minute. On something important. I will call you back", Kim said. "bye."

There was a huge traffic jam in the front. The driver was shouting from outside the window. "what happened?" Kim asked. " sir, there is a huge fight  in the middle of the street." "Bloody psychopaths. send our gang to stop the fight otherwise finish them. Let's take another route." The driver reversed the car and took a small lane towards the left with two cars behind them for protection. When they entered a lane, they saw a stop sign to go left or right. They took a left and just before the two cars came into the lane, someone removed the stop sign. Both the cars just went straight. Then, Kim's car came to a dead end.

The road behind was blocked by a truck. They were completely blocked. Kim started panicking. He had no protection. "driver, what happened?". Just as the driver turned his head back, a bullet shot straight through his head. He fell out of the car. Kim pulled out his gun and got out of the car. He was surrounded. Kim shouted, "Come and fight me in front of my face, you coward. We will see who is stronger." He ducked below the jeep and shot three bullets. One got its shot. He heard a woman's cry. He thought he shot the wrong person. " I am sorry," Kim shouted. Then, there was complete silence. He ducked to look for the person's legs. He couldn't see anything. Then came a voice. "something's on your hair.". His head went up and then he was shot in the head.

The woman got off the car's roof and found the load of drugs in the boot of the car. Her phone was ringing. "hello sir, Kim is dead. I have collected his phone and the drugs from his jeep. From now, we are getting all updates on Chang through his phone." Rawat replied, "Killing Kim was not the plan why don't you understand, Zoya?". "it was an act of self-defense, sir. He shot me." Zoya replied.  "Uff..."he exclaimed

"By the way, I have some news for you. I don't know if you are going to like it or not." "What is it, sir?" "Chang and Omar Faruq are going to meet soon and it's all happening in Karachi. I want you to lead a team and go there." Zoya's brain got stuck. She didn't know what to say. "sir, I will just call you back in a minute." She cut the call.

Zoya sat on the floor with her head over the car's bonnet. The same old nightmare started playing in her mind. Or it was more of a childhood memory. That night, the breeze was strong and the clouds were clear. The moon shone brightly among the clouds. When she was 7 years, Zoya and her parents were leaving Karachi for Delhi. Their father after so long got them a business visa with which they can go to India. They were on their way in their uncle's car. Just on the way her father stopped near the bakery. He wanted to get some snacks. Then, someone in the bakery recognized him. Everyone in the bakery started hitting him with sticks.

Her mom ran out of the car to go and stop them from hitting her dad. Zoya's uncle tried to stop her but she didn't listen. They were hitting them hard and they started calling him a traitor. Zoya was crying so much from the car. She continuously bangs the glass window. Her uncle worried about losing her sent Zoya alone on the flight. When she finally reached India, she was just sitting in the airport and crying the whole day. then, Rawat saw how helpless she was and decided to take care of her as his daughter.

That night was the worst night for her. Since then, she never took operations from Karachi, but the case is a bigger problem. She had to get Omar otherwise he could bomb many cities like the one he planned in the Mumbai markets. It was a complete genocide. This man is back from the dead.

Finally, she lifted the phone and called Rawat. "so Zoya, what do you say, you are in this or not?"
