179. Neil to have... urges?

She walked back to the empty party lawn to find Neil. She heard a girl's voice from behind the curtain.

Girl: Ha kaam ho gaya.... de di drug alcoholic drink me mila ke.... pata bhi nahi chala bande ko ki kab uski mocktail ko badal diya maine.... Are ha.... employee bhi bevakoof hai yaha pe.... glass badal gya aur dhyaan hi nahi diya kisi ne.... Ha relax... kisi ko nahi pata chala... Pehle pehle to peeche hat ja raha tha par phir chakkar aane lage to pata bhi nahi chala usko ki kab maine photo li aur kab nikal li main vaha se.... Bhejti hu tujhe photos.... 

Mini couldn't believe her ears and she ran to the other side of the curtain but she saw a girl in a dark blue gown with her mid back length curly hair opened, leaving from the main gate. She ran towards the gate but saw her sitting in the cab and before she could get a hold on her, she left. But neither the girl saw Mini nor Mini could see the girl's face. 

Mini: (in mind) Yeh ladki kya bol rahi thi?... Drug?... Employee?.... Photos?.... Huh... first I need to find Neil.... I should focus on that.

She called Neil again but still it wasn't getting picked up.

She was tensed and walked around the decorated lawn, searching for Neil.

Suddenly she got some messages from an unknown number.

She opened it to find some photos with a message... "Want to know some reality about your boyfriend?"

It was taking time to download.

Mini was about to ignore it when the first photo got downloaded. It was Neil's photo, hugging some girl, his eyes were closed and his face wasn't visible completely. The girl's face was also not visible. Only her curly hair was visible.

Other photos too got downloaded and it was the photos in which the angle was such that it looked intimate photos.

Last photo got downloaded and it looked like they were making out. Still the girls face wasn't visible, not was Neil's face was visible completely.

If it weren't of Neil then Mini could have believed they maybe some boyfriend girlfriend photos but as it had Neil, moreover in today's outfit, it was not possible and Mini understood there is something suspicious and maybe Neil is trapped into some conspiracy.

She zoomed in the image to find out where the place is. She reached the garden just behind the entrance of the lodge, separated by a side wall.

Walking to the place, she noticed in the photos that its the same girl who she saw just a few mins back and realised that she was talking about hers and Neil's photos.

Mini was tensed for Neil as she didn't knew what that drug has done to him and what's its effects would be.

She spotted Neil leaned on the bench. Reaching him, Mini saw his eyes were closed.

Mini patted on his cheeks.

Mini: Neil... Neil...

Neil didn't respond and as his head lost the support of the back of the bench, he was about to fall, Mini held him and understood he's fainted.

Thankfully there was a water fountain beside the bench and Mini sprinkled some water on his face while patting his cheek to bring him back to consciousness.

He even before opening his eyes, winced in pain pressing his hand on his chest and rubbing on his throat and coughed.

Mini: Neil... Neil tum theek ho?... Kuch bolo pls....

She patted on his cheek. He opened his eyes but blinked slowly.

Neil: (painful voice) Mini... bahot dard ho raha hai... Kuch theek se dikhaayi bhi nahi de raha... dhundhla dhundhla sa dikh raha hai.... kuch samajh nahi aa raha... Room tak le chalo na mujhe pls...
