Metro Trepidation

Chapter 5

"The situation is this. Are we ready to operate, sir?" Anirudh reported to Headquarters in Morse.

"Yes." He got the reply.

"Tomorrow is going to be a huge day for our country. This mission is a secretive and no one will ever know about it. If you get caught, die or anything, you never were a citiz-" Anirudh was interrupted by Raj.

"C'mon, stop it. Don't start again with boring stuff. We should eat before the food gets cold and the drinks go hot." Raj said, coolly. "And you, Om. Don't touch the drinks, the drinking age is 25!" He added. Om looked at him, a pout evident on his face.

"But you're not in India so have fun," Raj grinned, making everyone laugh. All of them were having a good time, not really worrying about their mission except Anirudh who was a bit anxious. After a few happy hours, everyone fell asleep and Anirudh was on the lookout.

"Don't think too much. You're smart, you will figure it out." He heard Veronica whisper from beside him. He gave her a small smile. "Now go to sleep, big day ahead".

Day 12

"I am in position." Arjun spoke on his walkie-talkie.

Anirudh subsequently communicated with the others about their positions.

--

"It's noon. They have to be here." Jagrit said, looking through the binoculars. He changed the frequency of the walkie-talkie to Arjun from all.

"Arjun, why is this ghillie suit so uncomfortable and dirty from inside?" Jagrit whined.

Arjun giggled, "You won't be so glad to know it. Will tell you during the travel to Tehran."

Few minutes later, two convoys, one with 6 cars and the other with 4 cars came from the border.

"They are in. I repeat they are in, identity confirmed." Jagrit repeated. Everyone hurriedly got into their positions.

"Jagrit take the short cut!" Anirudh commanded.

The intel was laid out perfectly before the mission. They had talked and discussed everything time and again to execute accurately.

"Asghar Naseer. LeT commander, the one who trained the attackers. Rafique. He was guiding the attacks, straight from Karachi headquarters. And Mirab Khan, one of the most powerful men in the Taliban."

"Our mission is to kill all of them, gather relevant information and do so in the quietest way possible."

The Owaisi residence was no longer a home, but a fortress.

The plan had different stages. Dr. Vivek and Om had been working since eleven days and being the perfect partners. Om installed a camera, a hearing device and an EMP, which can disable communication of all things within the perimeter. Dr. Vivek changed the model completely. He decreased the speed of the rotors to make the sound as less as possible. He had also connected the quad copter to laptop for better control.

In current time, Jagrit joined the other three back at home.

"You smell awful," Veronica held her breath.

He sighed, "Now I know why."

Everyone disguised themselves as militants covering their mouths with cloth masks. Anirudh went inside the house, guarding the lower floor and joining the other militants.

"Taking down the outer guards, over." Jagrit and Raj snapped the neck of the two guards outside the house, dumped their bodies and took their respective places.
