Crossing The Devils Path

chap 1: clueless

Richa's pov:
I felt uncomfortable though the thing I was asleep on was soft and fluffy. But one thing was sure I was in a place I wasnt familiar with. I know this because I have a tendency to feel out of place in new places or surroundings.
I didn't know why but I felt tired and sleepy. For some reason I couldnt open my eyes. They felt heavy but my brain was at work. All I could I think was escaping from that creepy man...and everything else seemed blank I couldn't remember a thing.
I fought through my drowsiness and opened my eyes but shut them almost instantly when a strong light met my eyes . It was morning, which meant that all night I had been here. But was it only for one night or had it been days since I was brought here? How long had I been here and why? I felt so confused and dizzy at the same time.

I slowly opened my eyes and took in my surroundings. I was in a large room ,sleeping on a king size bed and covered with a blanket. There was a dressing table in front of the bed but it dint seem like a women's because it didn't have any makeup or a seat to sit in front of. Everything about the room; grey walls , posh furniture and lush carpets said that I was in some hotshots house. Oh and not only hotshot , whoever this person was it had to be a guy . I got up and looked around the room . Across the bed , on a textured wall was a photo frame. I decided to take a look and went closer . It had a picture of two men , one old and one young. The younger man's features where tough and rough, well built muscles but not too bulky , brown hair and blue eyes . He had a clean shaved jaw and no a soft smile on his face. I was about to turn away when I noticed something falling on the ground.
I bent to pick it up and saw it was my id card and my purse. It was messed up as if someone had gone through my stuff.
I picked up everything and sat down on the bed trying to think what exactly had happened.

Two days earlier. ...
(Richa giving her presentation in the board meeting)
"Sir as I was saying according to my figures and graphs this project on prostitution in india would be a great help to society and its our responsibility as a citizen to take such steps."

Mr Patel: " yes richa a very impressive presentation I must say. When are you going to conduct this string operation?"

Richa:" tonight sir "

Mr Patel: "well then all the best and I am sure you will come up with a breaking news like always"

Richa thanked her boss and left the office a little early to make preparations . Once she was ready she left for the place where her string operation was going to take place. She looked at the mirror once last time and found a girl rather cheap looking woman looking back at her. She couldn't recognise herself but she knew this was going to be much more difficult than she had anticipated. She took her keys and drove to her destination. She stoppd a few lanes away and walked the other way.

She found the back exit of the bar and dialed a number. After a few seconds a girl in red sari with heavy makeup came out. Her name was sunita and she was the one who had approached richa and asked for her help. She took Richa's hand and led her to the dance floor.

Richa was in character and started dancing like the others. In no time the bar had become full of people . Men approached her but she denied them . After a while the owner of the bar came to her , pulled her arm and took her inside a small dull looking room.

He told her to stand there and went and sat there on a chair across a tall serious looking man. He was staring at her as if she was a piece of meat that could be ravished the moment he would be alone with her.

Seeing that look Richa felt her bofy tensing . She wanted the punch the life out of that man because she hated to be stared at especially that way. She was a black belt in karate but also knew self control , she knew that to put these people behind bars it was necessary to be calm nland play along.

The bar owner was selling her to th man busy ogling her and that to right in front of her. If richa wanted she could have stopped the deal there but she wanted all of them to be caught. There were two spy cameras one fixed in her sari near the waist and the other in her bag.

Once the deal was done the tall man paid the bar owner and walked towards richa. She smiled and asked the man for a minute and came out of the room. She immediately dialled the police number and her camera mans number . They both were on their way now , inside the club. She turned to go back to the room when she saw the man standing right behind her . She tried to pretend everything was ok but inside she was scared as hell. The project she worked so hard for, she wouldn't let it get spoiled when she was this close.

The man grabbed richas neck and trapped her betwern himself and the wall. The look in his eyes said he knew everything . She kicked him hard in the balls and he screamed in pain. Hearing his scream the bar owner came out but Richa was already on the run. The bar owner summoned his goons and in less than minutes there were a bunch of men hunting her down.

She was running as fast as her legs would take but she felt dizzy . Then she realised that the bar owner had given her a drink while she was waiting in her room and she was so thirsty that she didn't even think about the fact that he might have drugged her.

She saw a bend in the road and took a turn. She ran for a while and that was all she could remember ...
