Amukta : what happened dev ? 

Dev : Vasudev sir received a courier today. There's a letter and human hand without skin on the palm.

Amukta : that's disturbing. What's there in the letter ?

Dev : it's from that smuggler who calls himself as "Jara". He just wrote his name.

Amukta : are you going to hunt him down ? 

Dev : yes ! That's the reason for my transfer.

Amukta : by the way congratulations ! 

Dev : why ?

Amukta : it's your 10th transfer.

Dev chuckled but suddenly he opened his eyes widely by looking at the road and shouted at amukta.

Dev : ammu ! Look at the road .

Amukta saw a truck from the opposite direction coming towards them. That truck is coming in the wrong route. They escaped the truck narrowly. It seems to be a planned one. Dev observed that there is no number plate for that truck but his eagle like eyes observed the VIN number which is sticked on the truck. He sent it to inspector Vinod and told him to send it to nearby police station. He is raging with anger.

Amukta : Dev calm down. Don't get angry !

Dev : How can i stay calm ammu. Even you are there in the car. What if something happens to you ?

Amukta : nothing happens to me. No one can harm me when i am beside you.

Dev gave a small smile.

Dev : you are unbelievable. You know how to melt me. 

Dev got a call from Vinod after some time.

Vinod : hello sir !

Dev : hello vinod ! Did they catch him ?

Vinod : yes sir ! There is nothing to worry sir. He is drunk. Once he gets back to his senses we will deal with him. We are taking him to the station. 

Dev : seize the vehicle first ! It doesn't have any number plate. What's in the truck ?

Vinod : cotton sir ! 

Dev : check it thoroughly. If you find anything then tell me and also inform your new DCP about that tomorrow.

Vinod : ok sir !

Amukta : I am really proud of you ?

Dev : why darling ?

Amukta : from tomorrow you are not the DCP of this area and you are doing your duty even today evening. I am proud of you DCP sir.

Dev : don't praise me much doctor madam. You are nothing less than me.

Amukta was about to say something else.

Dev :  Concentrate on the road ammu.

Amukta : I am multitasking.

After driving for one and half hour they reached their destination. He is assigned to semi-rural area where most of the region is covered with tribes. That place is around 35 kilometres away from district headquarters. Dev is asleep after talking with vinod. He had no sleep in the past one week because of a murder case. He finally managed to get the guilty punished. Amukta removed the seat belt and kissed his forehead. He opened his eyes slowly.

Dev : did we reach ? 

Amukta : yes ! This house is pretty indeed.

Dev : I know right. After all it's my ammu's selection.
