Part 15 Cautiousness

"Why should not we appeal for a shooting order?" Arnav asked.

Khushi and Aman were dumbfounded.

"Shooting order?" Aman asked.

"Why? Didn't you expect me to ask you to appeal for it?"

"I thought you would have a little soft corner for him," Aman said without hesitating.

"Soft Corner? He is a serial killer more than my brother. Will you show mercy to the poisonous snack that's about to bite your loved one?"

"I understand that..."

"No Aman, Aarav is more dangerous than I thought. His character is getting worse."

"Can't we treat him?"

"Do you think he was not subjected to the treatment? He was under treatment for more than a year. Yet, there was no use because he didn't cooperate. He didn't want to... that was why he escaped prison. We could have cured him if we had found his deficiency earlier but now, it's too late. He became a monster. The girls killed by him are the proof. If we want no more girl to die, he should die. we have no choice."

"I thought you would try to use his deficiency in his favor because he is a somewhat mentally disordered patient. So, he can't be punished. Law will favor him"

"That's why I want to get a shooting order before the department learns about his deficiency. He should not get a chance. He will use it to escape and continue spoiling girl's life..."

"Are you scared, ASR?"

"Yes, I'm scared... because he had seen Khushi. She would be occupying his mind now. He would be thinking about only her. He would try to connect dots because Khushi seeded doubt in his mind"

"Me? in what means?" Khushi questioned.

"What do you think? Do you think you confused him?"

Khushi nodded yes slightly.

"No, you have given him a hint... solid hint"

"What's that?"

"You said, you thought he was someone who you knew and he was in Scotland"

Khushi nodded yes.

"That means, the someone is ME... if he resembled me, that means, you identified him. We published my photo to find him. What does that mean?"

Khushi and Aman were horrified as they understood the complication.

"You identified the KILLER. So, leaving you is a risk for him"

Khushi nodded yes thoughtfully.

"And, more than that, the police rounded up the Sarojini Market area. So, it would not have given him good vibes. You would have come into his mind first because you daringly told him that he looked like me"

Khushi sighed. Aman looked at her nervously and said,

"Be careful, Khushi"

Khushi nodded.

"Words are not enough to protect her..." Said Arnav.

"What's the plan?" Aman asked directly.

Arnav walked to his room. Aman and Khushi spared a glance. Within a few minutes, Arnav came out. He gave some things to Khushi. She frowned to see the things he gave her. Pens, pendants, and bangle and bands...!

Khushi looked at him questioningly. Without minding about her look, he wore the bangle in her hand.

"Remove your chain"
