The Plan Is On: Valor of Veera

Checkpoints

Veera: Check everything very carefully Parth.

[He nodded with attention.]

[The team split, each agent moved with precision. Veera entered the hotel's main lobby, which was adorned with chandeliers and marble flooring. He went to the receptionist.]

The Receptionist: Hello Sir. How can I help you?

Veera: Please send the owner and the Head of Security of this hotel at the surveillance room.

The Receptionist: Sure Sir. I'm informing them. And..... The security room at the 4th floor left side.

Veera: Thank You.

[As she smiled, Veera went to the elevator.]

[In the CCTV surveillance room, Veera met them. They shook their hands one by one.]

Person 1: (extended his hand) Hiii! This is Nill Oberoi, owner of 'Hotel Oberoi'.

Veera: (shaking hands) Hello. Myself Veera Raghavan.

Person 2: (extended his hand) Hello Sir. I'm Pratap Singh.

Veera: Hii, (shaking hands) and please don't call me Sir. (Smiling) We're belong to the same category.

Pratap: Definitely (smiling). Ummmm...... Mr. Raghavan we've been briefed about the importance of tomorrow's meeting. How can we assist?

Veera: I need access to your surveillance room and a detailed overview of your security protocols.

Pratap: Follow me, please.

[They walked through the lavish corridors to the surveillance room, where dozens of monitors displayed live feeds from every corner of the hotel. Technicians monitored the screens closely, ensuring no detail was missed.]

Veera: (studying the monitors) How many cameras do you have in total?

Pratap: We have 162 cameras, covering all public and restricted areas also. They're monitored 24/7, and we have backup power in case of any outages.

Veera: (nodding) Good. Any blind spots?

Pratap: None that we're aware of, but you're welcome to review the coverage.

Veera: I'll do that. Also, what about your emergency response plan?

Pratap: We have a team of 20 security personnel on-site, trained in both offensive and defensive tactics.

Veera: Excellent. I'll need a list of your security personnel, their Aadhaar details and their shifts for the next 48 hours.

Pratap: Sure Raghavan.

[Then he approached Nill Oberoi.]

Veera: Umm...... Mr. Oberoi, is there any kind of outsiders; I.... I mean to say any tourists who had booked rooms?

Nill: Actually, this is our peak season so.... Yeah, there are many.

Veera: Did you checked all of their information?

Nill: (nodded)Yes Veera.

Veera: Great! Now I've to talk with your Event Co-ordinator.

Nill: Receptionist will help you.

[Veera nodded and left the room.]

[Meanwhile, Parth was in the lobby, discreetly checking the structural integrity of the entrances and ensuring the metal detectors were functioning properly. He approached the reception desk and engaged in a brief conversation with the staff.]

Parth: (casually) Morning. Just checking, are these metal detectors operational and calibrated?

Receptionist: Yes, sir. They were serviced last week.

Parth: Great. Keep an eye out for any unusual activity and report it to security immediately.

[In the parking garage, Raghav inspected the area thoroughly, checking for any potential hiding spots or blind spots in the camera coverage. He used a handheld scanner to detect any unauthorized electronic devices.]

Raghav: (into his earpiece) All clear in the parking area. No anomalies detected.

[On the guest floors, Nisha walked through the hallways, ensuring that all staff access points were secure and that no unauthorized personnel were present. She approached a housekeeping cart and spoke with the staff member.]

Nisha: (politely) Morning. Could you please show me your ID?

Housekeeper: (nervously) Sure, here it is.

Nisha: (smiling) Thank you. Please be vigilant and report any suspicious activity.

[AT THE RECEPTION]

The Receptionist: Sir, (to Veera) do you need any kind of help?

Veera: (sighs) Ahhh.... Yeah. Help me to call your Event Co-ordinator.

The Receptionist: Sure Sir. Please wait there.

[Meanwhile, someone came and handed a paper to Veera.]

Veera: (to the person) Thank You!

[This time Veera took a picture of that paper and called someone.]

[In voice call.]

Veera: Hey Junior!

Person: Hello Sir (in a exiting tone). What hap?

Veera: How many times did I told you not to call me Sir?

Person: Great! Then why did you call me JUNIOR?

Veera: Okay okay (smirking). It's my fault. Tell me Arjun. Ummm...... Are you free?

Arjun: Anytime for you Veer Bhaiya (smiling).

['Bhaiya'(Hindi) ='Brother'(English), 'Anna'(Tamil) and 'Dada'/'Dadabhai'(Bengali)]

Veera: That's my boy. (Sigh) Anyway, I've sent you 20 people's ID Proof. Kindly check for me.

Arjun: No problem Veer Bhaiya.

Veera: Ok, I'll call you later.

[As soon as he cut the call, he heard a female voice from his back.]

Person: Excuse me!

[Veera turned back and stopped for a second.]

Veera: YOUU!! (little screamed)

[After completing their respective checks, the team regrouped in the hotel's conference room.]

Parth: (to Raghav and Nisha) Ok then. Let's go to Veera.

[They both nodded.]

[AT THE RECEPTION]

Veera: Cinderella!!!

The Girl: Uhhh... I came here for the Se.... Security General.

Veera: And Yeah! I'm that imposter.

The Girl: You? ..... I mean YOU!

Veera: What is wrong in it? Huh!

The Girl: Anyway, tell me why did you call me?

Veera: At first show me your ID proof.

The Girl: WHAT!! Bu... But why?

Veera: For security purpose, mam.

The Girl: No, I'll not.

Veera: Then I know the further steps. (In a taunting tome)

[Without replying to him, she extended her ID card to him.]

Veera: (looking at the card) Sitara Upadhyay (murmuring). (Giving back to her) Nice name.

[She took it.]

Sitara: Only for the name!

Veera: Umm yes. I thought you're not ready to tell your name. So I decided to see it by (whispering close to her) MY EYES.

============================

Clap for Veera's behavior.

What will be the next?
