Agent Of DEATH

Episode 11

Victoria Memorial, Calcutta

"This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Look at all those birds near the statue of Queen Victoria. The monument looks like it is placed in front of a sunset like background. And the sky, filled with vibrant shades of the colour red" a man was looking at the Victoria Memorial. He then looked at his pocket watch. The sun almost left and the moon was showing itself. It was getting dark and he was losing his patience. "Rajan said they will be here in a week. Unprofessional RagMen. I shouldn't have trusted Rajan in this issue." He looked at his watch again and was about to leave when someone shouted from behind. "Mr.Bose, please hold on" Mallanna shouted, running towards Bose. He was accompanied by Drona. They we're carrying four huge bags filled with money. "Rajan asked us to give you these bags. It's an honour to meet you Sir." said Mallanna. "Why do you need the money Sir? Are you going to buy weapons to revolt against the Britishers?" asked a tensed Drona as he feared they would get caught with the money as Calcutta was filled with British soldiers and Police. "Shut up Drona!! Sorry Bose Sir. He is new in our group. Just out of curiosity, what are you going to do with the money Sir?" Mallanna asked hesitantly. "Oh nothing. I just need few resources which need a lot of money. That's why I am collecting illegal British money from the Britishers in order to save this country." Bose replied. "Can you two take these bags and put it in my car?" asked Bose. Drona and Mallanna took those bags to a car that was parked nearby and put those bags in the trunk. "Thank you very much." said Bose. He immediately took a revolver and started shooting. Mallanna and Drona didn't expect this. They started running. Bose didn't stop shooting. He shot all the 5 bullets and 2 of them hit Mallanna, in his leg and chest and 1 bullet his Drona in his arm. Mallanna asked Drona to leave and not to return. Bose then came to Mallanna. Mallanna asked Bose angrily, "Why did you shoot us? We thought you were a noble man.." Bose gave a quirky smile. "You have to sacrifice few scapegoats in order to achieve the bigger objective. It was nice meeting you. Hope you had a good time" said Bose. He then used some extra bullets and shot Mallanna in his chest and head, and headed towards the car and left.

Bhaskar and Krishna were waiting for the Chief and Drona near the Pontoon bridge. They were looking at the boats and steamers that were passing below the bridge. They were also looking at all the traffic that was increasing near the bridge. "So many Bullock carts. Now that's something to talk about" said Bhaskar. "Yeah.. and did you see all those British officials there? Looks like they are going to build another bridge here" Krishna replied. "Drona and the Chief are taking so much time to come. I barely ate anything since we reached Calcutta. Let's go have a drink before they come" Bhaskar said and then he started looking for a place to have something. He finds a sweet shop, where they were serving hot Rasagullas and Mishti Doi. Just when he was about to cross the road, a man runs into him. They both fall down. Krishna then comes to help them and picks them up. Standing there was Drona, soaked in blood, looking very scared. Krishna and Bhaskar immediately took him to a doctor's clinic and gave him the required first aid. "Drona! Where is the Chief? Who shot you?" asked Krishna. Drona asked for some water. Bhaskar gave him a tumbler and asked whether he needed more. Drona closed his eyes to recall everything and then starts to speak, taking a deep breath. "Bose is not the person we think. He is responsible for the death of the Chief..." said Drona. "Subhash Chandra Bose killed Mallanna!!!" shouted Bhaskar and Krishna in unison. They then remembered the Chief and their journey together with him. Krishna then goes and picks his sword. "Kalakatta Kaali Devi meedha aana..!!
Bezawada Kanaka Durgamma meedha aana..!! I will take revenge on Bose for killing our Chief" Krishna puts his hand on the sword and makes a cut on his palm. Bhaskar and Drona also did the same. The warm blood on their hands and all the anger in their eyes, looked like they were going to kill Subhash Chandra Bose....
