" The identity of those victims are still a mystery and every clue, be it his cloths or any accessories thats important. But, I found a lot of pictures that our photographer took but, the pictures were not uploaded in the case file that was in the database. And, the rumour is that the order is from the chief. "

" Apparently, the photographer of our media took photos but no photos were uploaded. As per the instructions of our editor in chief. Don't you find that suspicious but then again he is half mad and half of the time don't know what he does. Crackhead. "

" Leave it, he is not our matter to see.but, where is our teammates?" Shlok sneer and said with disgust,
" Navin said that monster in human face gave permission to work with the new interns only as he thinks that this case is a waste of time. And, he don't want his qualified reporters to waste their time. "
" Okay but when are they coming."
"They will be here shortly after the break time. That monster face ordered that they will have to first submit their designated work then will assist us on this case."
Shlok is clearly pissed off at chief.
"Shlok, do you have their identity details, it will be helpful to know them beforehand, Right."

"Ohh, yes. They are total 3 people. Two doys and one girl. Navin send me their details in this file." Shlok spoke giving Arjun the file. Arjun saw that First boy Arav is an technical expert, he is recently graduated from Ethical University, which is a private university sparsely a prestigious and established University to study journalism. Secondly , the girl has a good educational background also graduated from a highly qualified and professional University which is a shocker for him as the other candidate was not from that satisfactory university. But, she is specialist in criminal psychology. The third guy, Dhruv never studied journalism, he just had a three months of local journalism course and training.
After the break, there is a knock on the door. Getting the permission, a girl enter the room. Arjun was busy going through the files Mr. Gupta had sended. When, for some time he didn't hear anyone speaking, he look up from file.
"Good Afternoon, sir. Myself Aahi. I was assigned to assist you in the Wild animal case, sir."
"Yes, I remember. I hope you will work sincerely in this case."
"I will try my best, sir."
"Okay, then lets get to work. There are some victims picture in this envelope with the date of their death. Also, take this file, this their details. So, sort them out according to the date. Make another copy of these pictures. Attaching one copy in the file with the dates of death accordingly. Give the other copy to me. Clear? . "Arjun instructed her.

" Crystal. "
" Then, start your work.Also, where are the others?"
"Not sure, sir. Didn't meet them."
"Okay, then. You start your work, I will find the others."
Arjun exit the door and went towards the cafeteria.
On this side, Aahi was already in her daydream. When she entered the room, she was mesmerised by Arjun. The way he was focused on the file, with glass and that messy hair just had her heart. When he looked up from the file, her heart skipped a bit. She was nervous but still started speaking.

" I never had to go in front of the Chief. You know, why?". As the two spectators shook their head in negative he started again, "Because, I never give him any chance to scold me about something. My work is always perfect. You can say, my colleagues used to call me sheer. My work used to be translucent, there was no fault in my work."
"Used to - are you not perfect with your work now, sir?"

Retaliatory anger raise in Shloks veins. He scoff at disbelief and lashes out at Dhruv.
"Nowadays kids be like they know everything." scoffing again, "I was giving you a million dollar advice in free. But, these generation is ominous."
Arjun saw the whole event and was laughing on Shloks misery.
"I think we should head to the investigation room now, Shlok. We have alot to do?"
"But, sir that girl is still not here."
"She already started her work, you don't need to worry. Also, oil your own wheels, Mr. Dhruv. Who is here and who is not, its not your responsibility to watch."
"Sorry, sir."
Shlok scuff again and said ---"I told you Arjun, today generation is all wasted. Don't know how to talk to people."
"Really. And, you know how to communicate with people. Why don't you go and take a signature from chief in this file. You were called sheer in the time of our internship remember."
It was unexpected for Shlok and he was a little embarrassed about it. But, still played the act with Arjun in front of his juniors.

" Of course,why not. But, not now- we alot of work to complete. "

" Sir, all the other copy of those photos."
"Thanks. How far are you and Dhruv? Did you categorised all the victims pictures with their death date and their details."
"Half left sir,will be done in few days."
On the otherhand Arjun and Shlok was preparing the board for the case. The victims photo with their detail that has been collected till now from the database and police stations are written in small chits and was attached, to get a clear vision of the victim.

They are all working together and the board was set, the collected informations were categorised. Though, it took some day and alot of patients for Shlok and Arjun specially but all the hard work paid off.

The once storeroom is now covered in different information about the victims.
