[OLD TEXTILE FACTORY]

[The clock was approaching 6:30 pm as the sun began to set, painting the sky with hues of orange and purple. As he approached the old factory, he slowed down. Then parked his bike a safe distance away while surveying the area. The factory was surrounded by overgrown weeds and dilapidated fences. It looked totally abandoned. He proceeded on foot, moving swiftly and silently through the shadows.]

[He decided to jump over the wall to enter as the entrance was not safe for him. After entering by a long jump he rolled down behind an old, broken water tank as he wanted to check the area.]

[After thoroughly watching the outside of the Main Factory]

Veera: (whispers) No Rats. Great!!

[INSIDE THE FACTORY]

[The factory was vast and eerily quiet. Veera slipped inside through a broken window, his movements as silent as a ghost.]

[Veera moved through the maze of machinery and debris, his senses heightened while he was stepping up by stairs. He reached a control room that overlooked the main floor. From this vantage point, he could see several men patrolling, heavily armed.]

[As he was hiding behind a pipe chamber, Veera assessed the situation quickly, noted the positions of the guards and the layout of the area. He needed to act fast. His jaw clenched in determination.]

[He took out his phone and sent a quick message to Officer Dhruv, sharing the coordinates and the number of hostiles.]

[Veera made his way down from the control room, moving with the agility and stealth of a predator. He picked up a metal rod from the ground, tossing it strategically to create a distraction. The clang echoed through the factory, drawing the attention of several guards.]

Control Room Guard 1: (frowning) What was that?

Control Room Leading Guard: (motioning) Check it out. The rest of you, stay on the cameras.

[As the guards split up, Veera used the opportunity to strike. He incapacitated the 1st guard silently by mouth, as the guard fell apart, and took his Ak-47 and a sharp knife from his chest pocket. He moved quickly, taking out two more guards before the others could realize what was happening.]

[Then his eyes went at the center of the floor, a large container with the Scorpion symbol was being loaded onto a truck.]

[Meanwhile, the Guard Leader found Veera.]

Control Room Leading Guard: (shouting) Intruder! Take him down!

[A firefight ensued, the sounds of gunshots and shouts filling the factory. Veera moved quickly like a shadow, dodging the bullet, taking cover and returning fire with deadly accuracy.
Peeking over the top, he saw 3 guards hiding behind a forklift.]

Veera: (muttering to himself) Time to even the odds.

[He pulled out a flashbang from the 1st incapacitated Guard. With a quick motion, he pulled the pin and threw it at those 3. The grenade exploded with a bright flash and loud bang, leaving the guards disappointed.]

[Veera seized the moment. He jumped out from behind the crates, firing his AK-47. He took them down with precise shots.]

[Moving forward, Veera kept his eyes open for more enemies. The factory floor was filled with debris and machinery, offering both cover and hiding spots. As he turned a corner, he saw another group of guards near the loading dock, trying to use the trucks as shields.]

[Veera decided to switch tactics. He took out a sharp knife he had taken earlier, knowing it would be quieter and more efficient in close battle. He moved like a ghost, his footsteps barely a whisper on the concrete floor. He approached the 1st guard from behind, his knife flashing in the dim light as he slit the man's throat, lowering him silently to the ground.]

[Veera continued his stealthy approach, taking out each guard one by one with swift, precise strikes. Blood slicked his knife, but his grip remained steady.]

[Suddenly gunfire erupted from his left. Veera dove to the ground, rolling behind a rusted machine. He tried to fire back but when he pressed the trigger he realised that there were no bullets left in it.]

[He saw a heavy wrench nearby and threw it at the shooter, he was knocked aside. He charged, tackling the guard to the ground. They struggled, but he overpowered the guard, smashing his head until he lay still.]

[Breathing heavily, Veera stood up, wiping sweat and blood from his brow and looked around. Most of the guards were down Or running away. Suddenly he felt a pain so he turned his forearm upside and noticed a deep cut by knife. As it was bleeding, Veera took out his handkerchief and tied it as a bandage. He pressed it hard against the wound to stop the bleeding. He closed his eyes and tried to bear the pain. Then he saw the truck again.]

[OUTSIDE THE FACTORY]

[Police sirens could be heard in the distance, signaling the arrival of backup.]

[INSIDE]

[He approached the truck, checking the container. It was filled with crates, each marked with the Scorpion symbol.]

Veera: (into the communicator) Dhruv, shipment secured. Get your team in here to handle the rest.

Dhruv: (relieved) We're moving in now Veera.

[As the police vehicles pulled up to the factory, Dhruv and the cops of nearby police station rushed in, securing the area and arresting the remaining guards. Dhruv approached Veera, who was standing by the truck.]

Dhruv: (grinning) You never disappoint, Veera. (Noticing his bandage) O my God! You're hurt. Let me take you to the hospital.

Veera: (nodding) No. No. It's ok. I'll have my aid. You just check the leftover dock, if there's anything else.

[Veera started walking towards the exit while Dhruv from behind]

Dhruv: (serious) But listen to me Raghavan!!!!

[He didn't turn back.]

Veera: (smiling) Bye Dhruv!! Have a great day.

Dhruv: (screaming) Just a STRANGE GUY!!

[OUTSIDE THE FACTORY]

[As the police began cataloging the shipment and securing the scene, Veera took one last look at the factory, a sense of satisfaction washing over him. The mission was far from over. He headed back to his bike, ready to ride his Hanway Scrambler with a hope of a new phase.]
