Chapter 34: The Blast

~~~~~

By the time Pawan's friends reached the police station in which Prithvi was kept, he already made his escape. They thought it to be good thing as Pawan mentioned that they would have to do their work without Prithvi get an inkling that his plans are being thwarted by none other than his own son. Prithvi will be positively enraged to see the results of his plan being dissolved like not more than ice melted by hot water. It would serve the old man right for plotting mass murder. This is one of the places for them to reach in the area as the man who is mastermind of this entire scheme planned blasts all across this area. How they wanted to kill the devil with their bare hands for such inhumane behavior! But they have to stop themselves from getting their hands around the neck of the slimy snake named Prithvi Mehra.

From the looks of the situation around them, it seems the side kicks of Prithvi Mehra are getting ready to blast the police station. That is just not going to happen on their watch! They got hold of the criminals and stopped the blast a further informed the same to Pawan. Then they asked for the next location.

Pawan cannot get involved in this matter physically because reason one: he was wrecked listening to the true personality of the man whom he had idolized from childhood. They have heard the story over and over again how the man had saved his mother and him from poverty. That bubble broke when he got to know the truth. Reason two: Chief Minister Arjun Mehra needs his closest friend and confidante near him during these dire situations. Sure, a person will need their spouse to calm their nerves in such situations but the presence of best friend is another part of calmness altogether. Only so, they didn't ask any further questions as to why Pawan is not present in the mission and is doing only background work.

After settling the men of Prithvi Mehra in the same jail that kept their boss earlier they moved on to the next location of the area after getting instructions from Pawan. But what they found was a ruse! There are no bombs planted in the place except for a tranquil neighborhood and seems people are getting their good night's sleep. Seems like the snake's belly is not completely black, after all. He did get some tricks up his sleeve.

Informing the same to Pawan from their location, they got a series of exclamations from all the members present in the room, wherever they all are.

After disconnecting the call, they all waited for any suspicious activity for another couple of hours and made their way back. The effect of the ruse finally grating their nerves, they cursed Prithvi Mehra, slimiest bastard ever present on the planet at the moment.

Later that night after receiving the call from Pawan's friends, all are in a state of shock caused by the false information provided to them by Chandra Mishra. They all knew that they should not have trusted the man but they did not expect this backstabbing. Or was it backstabbing by Prithvi Mehra to Chandra?

They were not sure anymore.

All they can do right now is to wait out the night to carry itself to dawn and see what the new day brings for them. Till then, the patrols for all the areas will be continued to ensure that there are no further bomb blasts anywhere in the city.

Radhika is not happy to see everyone in the tensed state. Even her nerves are giving up, but all of them need their rest and nothing will come out of this if they take themselves to their early graves. So, she with the help of Hitesh, cajoled all the others to get some rest. When they didn't budge from their seats, they both threatened them to administer them all with sleeping pills, even if that took to close their noses so that they can swallow the pills got them moving. They did not want Radhika to carry on the threat as they knew that she takes her promises very seriously. They all moved to their rooms in the farm house, their present stay, to get their sleep and also hoping in their hearts that they will not receive any bad news before they woke.
