LAST MAN STANDING

CHAPTER-10

In RAW headquarters, in India, Rawat is going through some old files in his office to find information on where the krygonium is stored. He was stupefied by how the whole team was fooled into taking an empty truck. At that moment, someone entered the office. "good morning, sir." "Good morning. Are there any ideas on finding where they are storing the krygonium?" "Not really Sir but I was just wondering since Chang died in the incident. Who is taking care of his entire business?"

Rawat was surprised. He had forgotten about Chang all this time. "how do you know his business is still running?". "we have seen that there are still exports going out from his old drug house. We have received a few pictures from our informers." Rawat snatches the pictures and starts inspecting them. He was biting his teeth as he saw it. Huge cargo tanks were being loaded into trucks. "this can't be drugs. It has to be the krygonium. They are loading some with the automobile trucks in . Is there anything about the ships?" "Yes, there is one heading from Japan to Pakistan." "great, we will intercept it." "Sir, are you sure we can stop the ship since it's heading towards Pakistan. They must have given them rights. Don't you think?" 

"We will just intercept it as its passing through the coast. Now, we will have support from the prime minister too." "sir, it's an open sea. They can notice us from a far distance and erase the evidence." "I don't think they will be able to find us. There is another way." Rawat smiled. There was finally hope for him.

In Aasim's house, Karachi, Aasim is sitting on the sofa watching Zoya wrap the cloth around his hand. She ties it tightly and he rests his head over a cushion. "Aasim, please understand. I can't stay like this here and you just saw how dangerous Omar is. I just need to go back to India with Omar and we will handle him there. He will be treated the right way.", Zoya pleaded. "Zoya, you do not understand. Omar is not a threat just to your country but he is also a threat to other countries. He has bigger goals in life. It doesn't necessarily have to be that he is involved. He is not under your custody." Zoya was getting angry and she walked away from him. She couldn't explain herself because whatever he said was true. She just stood in front of a glass window and stared at nature outside.

Then, Aasim takes out Zoya's phone from his pocket and walks towards her. He holds her hand and turns her around. "Look.", he said pointing the phone over her face. She puts her hand over her mouth. Tears of joy were dripping from Zoya's eyes. Aasim had booked two flight tickets from Pakistan to Dubai and Dubai to India. "now message your boss to meet you in Dubai?" Aasim told.

Zoya jumped over Aasim and hugged him. She wrapped her hands around her neck. "why did you finally listen to me? What just happened to you?" Zoya asked. "You told me you won't stay safe here. I thought it was better for you to just go after the missile is completed. We could think about Omar later.", Aasim replied. "but what if I am supposed to kill you?" "I know you won't kill me." Zoya hadn't even realized that the distance between Aasim and Zoya was almost three inches. Aasim entangles his hands through her hair and moves his thumb across her face. Zoya's heart starts beating instantaneously. Her eyes move up looking straight into his. In an impulse, she pulls him forward attaching her upper lip to his mouth. Aasim grabbed her head tightly not letting her go. "I love you," she says in a low voice with a gap and then continue.

Meanwhile, in the General's secret office, Lahore, General Kadir was thinking about how another person got involved in this drama. He is checking through the CCTV footage in the hospital during that day. He keeps rewinding the footage but he finds nothing suspicious. The doctors looked all the same and there wasn't any chaos created before the nurse. Then, the PA enters. "sir, there is news that they found a doctor from that hospital tied up in his house." "immediately bring him here, right now." 5 minutes later, the doctor enters the room and sits on the chair opposite General Kadir. "sir, I want you to recite to me what happened that day. Please tell me in complete detail.", General Kadir replied. " it was 6:00 A.M. The birds outside were chirping in a melodious tune, the sun shining brightly from the window. All resulting in a beautiful morning. My eyes were mesmerized looking....."

"RAAAAAAAAHH!!!"

General Kadir's roar echoed across the whole room. He banged the table with his fist. "when I ask for a detailed explanation, it doesn't mean you have to state all the unnecessary things to me. Only explain to me what is important for me. Do you get that??" "ye.. yes, sir. S...sorry. I was just preparing my breakfast and getting myself ready to go to the hospital. I was waiting for the A.C. service guy to come. then, he rang the bell and I opened the door. I wanted to use the washroom so I told him to keep working. Just when I came out someone shot me with a tranquilizer dart and I fell. when I woke up, I found myself tied around. There was nothing stolen from the house. He even left his bag there." Kadir walks around him and tried to get a glimpse of his facial expression. The sweat dripped from Aadil's head to his chin. Kadir rang the bell on his desk and the PA entered.

"take him to a sketch artist and get the A.C. service guy sketched. I want to know the guy who entered this game."
