Next morning, Arjun woke up as his phone rang. “Hello?”
“Sir, there has been a murder at the Moonlight Shadow Club.” Shree informed.
“Coming.”
Arjun opened the curtain, checking over Deeya soundly asleep. Arjun went around the bed to wake her up.
“Deeya!” He shook her hand and realised that it felt warmer. He touched her forehead, it was burning. He reached out for the nearest drawer, finding a thermometer.
101. He sighed and looked at the watch. 5 am. He calls his mother.
“Aai. Deeyu is a bit feverish. Please come here.”
“I'm on my way.”
Arjun fidgeted around a little, not wanting to leave. He sat beside her. “Deeyu, bachha, I have to go, but don't you worry. Aai will be here soon. Please take care of yourself.”

15 minutes later Arjun was at the crime scene. A man in his late 20s was lying on the floor.
“Victim : Mr. Yash Rajput. Age 28 years. Aaj subah closing ke time par cleaning staff ko inki body mili.” Riya looked up from her tablet.
“Body ko autopsy le liye lab bhejo.” Arjun ordered, looking around as his team was busy with the basic tasks.
Riya picks up a bracelet from the floor and places it in the evidence bag. “Arjun sir, ye dekhiye.” She hands over the bracelet. He immediately recognises it. “Keep it safe.”
“Sir, ye Mr. Adarsh Nagar hai. The manager.” Shree looks at the middle aged man beside him.
“How soon can I get the CCTV footage?”
“Right away sir.”
“I need a list of all your staff on duty last night and a list of guests. Kal kuch hua tha? Anything that needed intervention from the security staff?”
“Nahi sir, kuch bhi nahi.”
Arjun inspected the crime scene carefully, looking for marks of struggle, there was none. He found a broken martini glass with lipstick marks and bagged it for evidence.
“Sir, Deeya nahi aayi abhi tak? I tried calling her, but she didn't answer.” Shree said.
Arjun nodded. “Chotu, iss area mein apne informers ko active karo aur puchho ki yahan drugs koun supply karta hai.”
“Yes sir.”

Later, in the conference room, Riya and Shree set up the whiteboard, filling in the details.
“Waise 8 baj rahe hai aur ye Deeya madam abhi tak nahi aayi?” Riya asked.
“Tujhe kyu fikar ho rahi hai?”
“Fikar nahi, bas aise hi puchha.” Riya looked around, there was no one. “Pata hai, kal usne mujhe kaha ki Arjun sir ki shadi ho chuki hai. And that I should stay away from him.”
“Wait, seriously? Arjun sir aur married? Humne toh aisa kabhi kuch nahi suna.”
“Wahi toh. Mujhe bhi kuch samajh nahi aa raha.”
“Chal usko aane de phir dekhte hai.”
“Kiske aane ka wait kar rahe ho?” Arjun raised his brows.
“Deeya ka.” Shree said.
“Kyu, uske bina tumhara kaam ruka hai kya?” He looked at the whiteboard. “Victim ki family se contact hua?”
