The next morning, Arjun was getting ready for work when his phone rang. He walked back to his bed to answer it, seeing Vihaan's name on the screen. Assuming it was a work-related call, he answered, "Hey, Vihaan. What's up?"

"Where are you, Arjun? Come to the office now. We have a meeting in five minutes," Vihaan said curtly.

Arjun replied with a simple "Okay" and ended the call. He grabbed his office bag and car keys and headed out the door.

When he arrived at the office, he went straight to his cabin to drop off his bag before heading to the meeting room. Inside, he found Kashvi, Aditya, and Vihaan, along with other coworkers and Raunak Sir, the senior officer.

Raunak Sir's expression turned grave. "We've received intel that a bomb blast is being planned. Kashvi, this is the location we need to check." He handed her a paper with the details.

Kashvi nodded, her eyes scanning the information. "Got it, Sir. Aditya, you're in charge here. Arjun, you're with me."

Arjun followed Kashvi and the team to the checking point, where they began inspecting cars. Suddenly, an ambulance appeared on the scene.

Kashvi's eyes narrowed. "That's strange. There's a hospital just a kilometer back. If it was a real emergency, they would have stopped there."

As the ambulance approached, Kashvi signaled to Arjun. "Stop it."

Arjun stepped forward, hand raised. "Hold up, ambulance. Is there a patient inside?"

The driver's response came quickly. "No, sir. It's an emergency medical supply."

Arjun's eyes locked onto the driver. "I need to check. It's protocol."

The driver's tone turned urgent. "Sir, please. It's an emergency. We can't waste time."

Arjun's expression hardened. "I'll only take five minutes. Open the back door, or you'll be here all day."

They agreed and opened the back door. Arjun was about to open one of the boxes when the driver protested, "That's a sealed box, sir. We can't open it."

Arjun replied, "If it's sealed, then we have to open it to check." But the driver still refused.

Arjun's patience wore thin. "Shut up, or I'll slap you hard!" He opened the box himself, revealing an arsenal of guns. Kashvi's eyes widened. "Open another box."

Inside, they found grenades. The driver and his partner attempted to flee, but Arjun swiftly apprehended them. The police arrived, taking them into custody.

Kashvi praised Arjun. "Well done!" The team returned to the office, and Arjun headed home, exhausted. As he settled in for a nap, his phone rang again.
