LAST MAN STANDING

CHAPTER-06

At Ravi's hideout, Karachi, the huge truck had been parked in the unconstructed building. Water droplets were dripping off the roof. The sky was light blue with the sun slowly going down. Ravi was sitting on a chair and scanning the safe in the truck. The safe was huge with all its dimensions 8 feet. There was a triple-layered dial lock.  He was waiting for his safebreaker to open it for him. just then, his phone beside him started to ring.

 "Sir, we are on the flight. It is going to start in 2 mins, sir. Have you unlocked the safe, sir?". 

"not yet, it's fine. You people leave it's not too safe for you to stay here. Did Zoya and Abhinav reach the airport?". "no sir, I have been trying to call them. They are out of reach. Should we cancel the flight?", one of the team members asked.

Ravi put his head back and was biting his lips. he sat confused. Was there going to be a last-minute surprise or did someone recognize and capture her? 

"No, all of you go. I will take care of Abhinav and Zoya. They will be fine.", Ravi explained to his team. "fine. Bye, sir. Jai hind." "Bye. Jai hind."

Then, Ravi immediately contacted Rawat. "sir, I think something is fishy." 

"We are in great trouble. The news has spread all over.", Rawat replied. "what news, sir?". "check the video I just sent you." Ravi clicked on the video and read the general's warning. "sir, I need to immediately find Zoya and rescue Abhinav," Ravi told Rawat. 

"No, first go save Abhinav, we should save him before he leaks anything to the Pakistan government by getting tortured." "Sir, but...". "it's a command follow it. I trust you, Ravi."

Meanwhile, in Aasim's house, Aasim was confused about who Abhinav was. He ran up the stairs in a hurry and pushed the room of the door. He takes a chair placing it right in front of Zoya's chair and took out the strap from her mouth. He shouted, "WHO IS ABHINAV??". "I don't know."

"was he there in the car with you?"

"No, he wasn't." Aasim got up from his chair and was pulling his hair with his hands. He started acting frenzy since his mind got stuck. He looked at Zoya in the eyes and he knew she was lying. "fine, then I am killing him." Aasim declared. "why?" " you idiot. When the car crash happened, I was interrogating Omar. if there is anyone free and recognized my voice. It is him. I am sorry this is how it works."

"No, just take him from the hospital alive and get him here. Please.". 

"Hmm... So you do know him. Playing lies with me won't be easy but since he deserves another chance, i will try."

Suddenly, Omar was murmuring something with the tape. It seemed like he was laughing. Aasim pointed the gun at Omar's head and took the tape off his mouth. "why are you laughing, old man ?" Aasim asked. "Nothing. It's just so funny how stupidly she is trying to sweet talk you." "What do you mean?". "look, they must have already planted a tracker on him to ensure he doesn't go anywhere. So, if you lead him here, then they will find you and shoot you for having me in custody. If you spare him in the hospital, and even if we assume he didn't recognize your voice, he will leak about the Krygonium missile, and every person in the project will be arrested from the QUT headquarters due to not maintaining secrecy of the project. Afterwards, if they kill you or they don't, it's their wish. So choose your life and your project member's life or your life, and Zoya's life, or just one Abhinav's life?"

In Contact Hospital, Karachi, There were guards all over the hospital. It was still a slightly crowded place with people waiting for their daily appointments. The reception was busy with two receptionists busy on continuous calls. It was a huge glass building with 5 floors. Ravi wore a doctor's outfit with a handbag and walked towards the reception. Just as he was going to go, one of the guards stopped him. "where is your ID?"
