A hospital in Madras.
Rahman and Sitaram reached Madras the next day and were immediately taken to the nearby hospital. The hospital was filled with patients and doctors were trying their best to control them. "Devudaa! All these people..What would be the reason Rahman?" Sitaram asked watching at the crowd in the hospital. "I think they are conducting a free medical camp... But first we need to find a Doctor who can help with our injuries" Rahman replied. He then left Sitaram near the reception next to the staircase and went to call a doctor. Sitaram kept thinking about the events that happened in the train. Surprisingly, Rahman returned with a doctor and took Sitaram into the special ward room for treatment. On seeing Sitaram thinking, Rahman asked "Are you thinking about that girl who helped you in the train?" Rahman was laughing slyly. Sitaram didn't listen to him as he was lost in his own world. He was brought back to the reality by the doctor, who opened up the wound and removed the bullet from his leg. "Aaaahhhh!!!" Sitaram was shouting in pain. Meanwhile a nurse came and checked Rahman's injuries and gave first aid to him. They were then shifted to the general ward where they were given a bed. The Doctor instructed Rahman and Sitaram to stay here for a week under observation. That night Sitaram kept thinking about the train incident and couldn't sleep properly. Guess something pulled his attention in the train.
Colonel Stinson reached Madras from Mettur, and reported at the Island Grounds office of the British Raj. He then found out that the train reached Central, 3 days ago through Mr.Rajan who worked at the office. Stinson then left to Central with Rajan and a few soldiers, and enquired the station master about the men who accompanied the tax money from Palnadu. "How many men were there?" Asked Stinson. "Janaab. Do aadmi the. Un daakuon ne unko zakhm kardiya tha. Isliye unko hospital leke gaye." replied the station master. "Oh please.. someone please translate this shit. Why do they give them the job of station master when they can't even speak proper English, eh? Mr.Rajan please translate it." said Colonel Stinson. Mr.Rajan went to the station master and asked everything. He then replied to Stinson, "Sir, he says there were two people who escorted the money. They left to the nearby hospital as they were injured by the Bandits, when they attacked to loot the money." Stinson gave a ridiculed look to Rajan, "TWO MEN!! Two men were sent to guard the amount collected from the whole province? That's ridiculous. Rajan, ask him the name of the hospital and let's leave immediately."
Rahman was still wondering what Sitaram was thinking. "Are you still thinking about Anamika? Looks like she stole your heart.." "Well she stole my heart for sure. But I have been wondering, why only 2 of us were sent to guard this huge amount of money without any guards? And also why only us? I think there is some kind of conspiracy behind this.." replied Sitaram.
