Zero Degree Love (Completed )

chapter 43

    Sukla listened intently, his entire attention on the speaker phone. ..He had recognised vikram 's voice when he had called shravan and, he didn't had  to listen too long to realise that shravan was right about vikram. ..

  There had been a flurry of actions  after that, while he was staying on the call, trying not to miss anything in the conversation. ..

Sukla had called up the home minister who wasn't aware of this tragedy. ..He patched the call through to him, so that he could hear the call by himself. ..now, the call was being recorded too. ..

   A team of commandos had been immediately despatched to vikram s palace with instructions, to secure the building to ensure that none of the evidences were destroyed. ..

  Sukla couldn't stop at his realm, and he knew that he had a responsibility to get shravan out of this mess. ..

 
For a note, he was oblivion to Sumo's captivity at vikram s palace along with shravan. ..

  As the conversation progressed between shravan and vikram, the realisation struck sukla that the situation was more complex and deeper than he imagined. ..He immediately pulled his  keys and strode to the jeep. ..

-----------------------------------------------------

    Ranjith jumped inside the  study, through the short window through  which shravan had sneaked in. ..He crawled along with the wall to the corridor. .then, he quietly descended down to the basement remembering ramnath s map. ..He barged inside the conference hall that was almost painted with darkness. ..

  Ranjith couldn't locate shravan as there were no one in the hall. ..exactly, Ranjith lost his connectivity with shravan at this location. ... He wasn't returned either to corridor  or to the study which was at ground floor. ..

  Ranjith felt his nerves on,  when sumo was caught as captive. ..He wasn't waiting for sukla s orders. ..He just took him to the game. ..

    Ranjith stood at the conference hall without deciding anything. He wasn't aware of the next room and it's below level secret vault. ..

    He dropped the idea of going upstairs, as he heard voices heading down the stairs. ..Needless to say, the voice was vikram s and Ranjith easily recognised the same. ..

  He greeted his good luck and closely watched the voices. ..vikram stood at the adjacent locked door and looked around cautiously. ..Ranjith stuck to the wall like a lizard. ..vikram dismissed his guards at the entrance before entering into the room. ..

       It didn't take much time for Ranjith to knockout the two guards who weren't expected a sudden attack. ..

  Ranjith jumped over the guards and took the door s backdrop to mask himself. ..

  Vikram looked annoyed. ..He restlessly waited for something. ..Ranjith had an intuition that he's going to meet Shravan and suman ... .in a glint of hope,he stood at the place immobile, disturbed by the pin drop ,awkward silence. ..

    Vikram operated something on the wall, and the floor below his feet separated to the way down. ..

  
   'My god. ..a secret basement. ..!!!'

Astonishingly Ranjith looked at vikram without a wink. ..He waited until vikram go down ...as he started to descend, the floor began to close. ..

    Ranjith waited uneasily until the floor closed three fourth. ..He unnecessarily didn't want to grab vikram s attention. ..

  'Come on. ..come on. ..'

  At a point, Ranjith flung to the gap between the floor and landed inside the secret vault. ..at a wink, he hid  himself behind a pillar. ..
