"Pavan, just wanted to inform you that my daughter - Moana, would be coming around with my lunchbox in the next 30 mins so just guide her and let me know" " said Sandeep to the watchmen. "Sure Sir, ill let you know" Sandeep returns inside the bank. "Wonder what my little angel must be doing at home, she'll be going school soon. It's like a dream come true finally. After all, the smile of a daughter is a secret purpose of every Fath... " "Trrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..." Pavan is speaking to himself but at the same time the bank's security alarm went off and Pavan grabbed his gun and rushed inside to see the bank getting robbed.

The Burglar was using his firm voice and talking to the staff, "FILL THIS BAG UP NOW !" pointing the gun at one of them. Pawan tries to get near him but is caught off guard by the crew who were just 4 - 5 teens with guns and is shocked to do anything against them as they were just children. The robbers were about to leave but a customer tries to sneak a gun from one of the children but fails and trips the kid and himself accidentally. Another kid wearing black T-shirt with electric guitar print and black shorts panics and reaches for his gun to shoot the customer. Pawan notices everything and runs to save the customer and "BANG!!!"

Alvin wakes up in shock and sits on his bed with his right hand on his heart where the bullet was shot "Damn!... That felt real"; He notices the Alarm going off on his mobile, picks it up and he notices the message popping

'TREASURE HUNT DAY - Don't Sleep Again'

"Letsss gooo... gotta get ready its time to wake up my inner Indiana Jones!";

10:57 AM - Outside College

"Bro... Where is this guy?" Alvin checks his watch "Its almost 11 now and we are supposed to report by 11:15 "
Lily suggests Saahan"Why don't you try Raj's cell and check where he's at"
"Yes lemme try his cell" Saahan acknowledges and continues "On a normal day he'll be the first one here but when its required he is Barry Allen(The Flash) and definitely not his alter ego, nope he just disconnected my call, must be close my guess"
"Ahh... there he is" Alvin pointing at Raj who is sprinting from behind Lily and Saahan,"Now our Four Squad's complete".
Raj joins the group exhausted with the running "Sorry.... (coughs)... Sorry guys... I missed my previous train, but we still on time i think so, right " with a grinning face. Alvin nods his head. "I need some water, you guys have no idea how fast i ran, it was..."
Lily interrupts Raj "We can definitely discuss that later, for now lets reach the registration desk, We got only 7 mins left". Everyone rushes inside towards the registration desk, Saahan registers the team for the event

"And... we are registered for the Treasure hunt !" Saahan announces to the team "The event will start in 15 mins so we freshen up and report in the hall where we will get our first clue"
"Yeah i should wash my face, I'm already sweating even before the treasure hunt starts. Alvin... you coming?";Alvin responds "Yeah wait ill join you and we'll meet you two in the hall in five, I'll make sure Raj makes it there in 5". Lily and Saahan both smile and agree and start moving towards the hall.

In the washroom,"Raj... you excited for the hunt or are you just in the team because of Lily?" Alvin smiles at Raj teasing him,"You know my answer" Raj blushing " By the way dont speaking of treasure i know it's easy for you Alvin and we will win because of you but dont just directly answer and spoil fun for Saahan and Lily" Alvin responds with a beaming face "Yes don't worry I'll definitely wait for you guys to figure it out first, chill""But can we go to the hall now ?". Raj agrees and they both rush towards the hall.

Its 11:30 and everyone has assembled in the hall for the announcement of the first clue, The event manager comes on the stage and introduces his team along with some rules like 'There are only 5 sets of clues so 3-4 teams might have the same clue' and 'The last clue will be same for everyone' and welcomes all us, wishing us good luck then calling us teamwise to handover our first clues, Saahan goes and collects it for us and our first clue goes.
