Ishmeet received a notification, and as she looked into it, her face turned pale.
Concerned, Ash inquired, "Is everything alright?"
Ishmeet rose from her seat and delivered the ominous news, "Vinnie, your brother is in big trouble."
Vinnie's anxiety escalated as she stared at Ishmeet. The leaves from the trees began falling rapidly, and a profound sense of fear enveloped him.
Somewhere
"In the midst of the road, under the open sky, Sora turned to Adi, eyes searching, and asked, 'Were you there? Tell me, why did you save me?'
Adi, perplexed by the question, replied, 'What are you saying? Are you lost in your thoughts?'
With a hint of mystery, Sora continued, 'Today, as I delved into my memories, I uncovered your name within my diary.'
Adi, puzzled, retorted, 'Diary? Please, speak in a language I can understand, you mischievous soul.'"
"Eight years ago... that car accident," Sora murmured, his fists clenched in grief as he looked down.
Adi's face contorted with shock, a burning desire to know more evident in his eyes. He demanded, "Who are you, Sora... and HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT IT?" his voice raised in frustration.
Before Sora could reply, a convoy of 8 to 10 trucks suddenly swarmed the entire street, enveloping Adi and Sora in confusion as they tried to make sense of this sudden intrusion in broad daylight.
From one of the trucks, the backside opened, revealing a tall woman clad in a striking red and white suit, sporting blue glasses. Her presence exuded an air of imminent danger as she approached them.
"Which one of you is Sora?" She spoke with the authority of a queen addressing her loyal subjects, her deep voice laced with a touch of sweetness.
Sora reluctantly raised his hand and replied, "I am Sora. What the hell do you want from me? I don't want to join your circus!"
She chuckled, her amusement evident. "Bold of you to assume you're a clown," she retorted, swiftly pulling a pistol from her suit and pointing it directly at Sora.
Meanwhile, at the Raga's home, Raga and Aari were deep in discussion about their next steps.
"Can't you work as a double agent to gather more information from the gang?" Aari suggested, hope flickering in his eyes.
Raga, engrossed in her phone while checking messages, replied, "I can, Aari, but I'm afraid there's not enough time now. Things are moving so fast."
Aari asked, concern evident, "Why? What's suddenly gone wrong?"
Raga sighed, her worry showing. "I had someone inside their gang feeding me information, but he just texted me. His cover has been blown, and I believe they'll soon discover that I'm betraying them as well. Please, Aari, we have to reach Principal Davis as soon as possible. He's the only one who can help us!"
"Principal? How is he going to help?" Aari questioned, perplexed by the mention of the principal's involvement.
Raga, feeling the urgency of the situation, replied, "We don't have time, Aari. I'll explain everything later. For now, let's just get moving."
Raga swiftly packed some essentials into her bag, including her diary.
"Alright, fine. I'll try to call Adi," Aari agreed.
Both of them left their home and sprinted towards the school. A sense of unease lingered as Aari tried to reach Adi on his phone.
"He's not picking up," Aari reported.
