The Path Less Travelled.

Match me in strategy?

A/N : *Sigh* I will never be a great writer like G.R.R Martin. Why can't I kill charecters with the ease that he does?
*sighs again*
Huda lives, coz I am a softy🙁🤕. Huh!

.........

Raj : "What the hell is going on Chauhan saab?
Kya aap mujhe bataneka kasht karenge dammit, ke why is Huda lying there instead of me?
How did you get this stay order?"

His voice, when he spoke about the stay order, betrayed anger, rather than relief.
Abhi wondered why.

They had rushed Huda to the hospital, just in time, and the bullet, which had hit his arm, was removed. He was out of danger, though still unconscious.
They had just received this news from the doctor, and as soon as that happened, Raj had grabbed Abhi's arm, excusing himself from the others, and had dragged him to a corner away from the others.

Abhi : "Raj...Hame kuch samajh nai aaraha.
Obviously, you had doctored some proofs against yourself. Kyu?
Especially, when...aapke paas sab ke khilaaf proofs the.
Nobody would have been spared anyways.
Why incriminate yourself ?"

Raj (frustratedly running his hand through his hair) :
"Chauhan saab, it was important!
And you guys...u guys have messed it up dammit."

"Tell me, who did this??
(He grabbed his collar) Tell me!!"

"It was me sir."

Raj turned, to see Naina standing there, a defiant look on her tired face.
Raj noticed streaks of dried tears on her face.
Tears she had been shedding for him, when she came to that spot.

He jerked away those thoughts.

Raj : "Lt Singh, I hope you are happy now! You have spoiled my one chance to bring the most dangerous criminals to book.
Thanks a lot! "
He finished sarcastically, his heart screaming at how unjust he was being to her.

He turned to Abhi.

Raj : "Look, where are those documents? Submit them. Please Chauhan saab. You have to trust me.
I.."

He was interrupted by footsteps approaching.

They all turned to see some officers comming towards them.

O1 : "Captain Shikhawat, we have orders to take you back into custody, until the jury reviews the entire documentation provided."

Naina turned paler.

Naina : "But...But why?? Why do you need to take him back ?
Look, this.."

The officer cut her.
"Look Lt, this is the rule.
Hame yahi orders hai. "

Saying this, he handcuffed Raj, and started taking him away.

Raj :" Chauhan saab, Naina..please..please listen to me."

He turned to the officer, desperately.
"Just a minute officer, please!"

He let him be.

(In a low voice, to Abhi and Naina)
"Look, do it, or else I will. Dont think I dont have backup of it.
I will just tell the officers where to find them."

Abhi : "Raj...Raj kyu kar rahe hai aap aisa?"

Raj : "Just...do it."

The officers took him away.

........

The others had come rushing, when they saw Raj with the officers.

Naina and Abhi told them, of Raj's threat.

Naina : "Sir aisa kyu kar rahe hai?
Abhimanyu sir, Rajveer Sir se baat karni hogi..please.
Kya koi tareeka hai?
We need to talk to him."

Abhi : "Ham dekhte hai."
