Back at the ETF office Rathore finally lifts his head up. He gets up making a pen roll down in the process he bends to pick it up when the gold chain on his neck hangs out. He looks at it and suddenly his face lights up.

He found it, he found a way he can find them he rushes to the ETF conference room and barges in as all heads turn towards him.

**************************************************************

Rathore- Shree agar main tumhe ek chip doon kya tum exactly aisi chip ki location trace kar sakoge

Shree nods his head as Rathore removes his locket and hands it to Shree. Shree passes a confused expression to Chotu and the looks back at Rathore.

Rathore- I will explain everything later for now, at the back of the locket is a micro chip. Uski exact copy Riya ke bracelet main hai. Location trace karne par hum Riya ko dhoond sakte hai. And hopefully Rawte is with her. 

Shree nods and gets to work while on the other hand in the dark room Riya is seated next to Arjun her palm resting on his. Oh this girl makes him so weak. He fights back tears as he speaks

Arjun- I know I can tell you everything Riya, but this will be a story for another time. For now can we talk about something else?

Riya nods understanding the turmoil within him as she lifts her palm of his. Her hand feel heavy and her head dizzy. She rests against the wall as she thinks. After some silence

Riya- Sir

Arjun-hmm

Arjun turns to look at her. 

Riya- Rathore sir aur aap ke beech kya hua tha?

Arjun eyes widen in shock

Arjun- He told you?

Riya weakly nods. 

Before Arjun could say anything else the door bursts open. Rathore and the team run in as the duos eyes light up. Shree help Riya up and engulfs her into a gentle comforting hug as Chotu wraps his arms around the two. 

Rathore and the girls smile seeing them while Arjun stands with the team. They all leave from there and on the way back Rathore explains everything to Arjun and Riya who are nothing but proud of their teammates. 

After reaching Shree applies proper medication to Riya's wound and then all of them ar dispersed as the all worked through the night and were dead tired.
