In a path: Mahindra Thar: 15th July Friday: 10:15: pm:

"Manik, we should have told them to get out of there. Now when they know that we are kind of safe then what is the need to stay there. Instead, they should get back to our jeeps and go far away from that house."

Dhruv said. Manik who was continuously moving the walky-talky knob replied unobservantly,

"Dhruv, if they are capable to capture a goon then I am sure they are also capable to plan their next best step. Don't underestimate the girl power"

"Yeah right, you must be very proud of your little girlfriend."

Cabir retorted while tickling Devid playfully who helplessly wriggled with a sound from his tied up mouth,

"Booo.....oooo."

"Cabi...rrrr, can you be serious for a while? You are supposed to keep an eye on him, not to make him your teddy bear."

Dhruv begged. In return got a 'who cares' look from Cabir.

"But frankly speaking, even I feel proud of the girls. Especially for Nandu. Kiddo made me astonished. My delicate, little sis knocked down a goon?"

Abhimanyu made a surprised face.

"Shhhhhh.......The device received some frequency."

Manik suddenly whispered. All held their breath.

"Hello.......forest guard surveillance. Hello.....who is there? Hello...."

A metallic voice was heard.

"Hello......we are lost in the jungle. Need help...Some goons are casing us. Can you get us help from the police force............? We have a lot to tell them. Over........"

Manik said in one go. His eyes were blazing with disquiet. Where others were trying to quell their pounding heart.

"Hello..... this is the forest guard surveillance. Tell us your name and the location......"

The device again croaked.

"Hello.....I am Manik Malhotra.... Mr Shrikant Malhotra's son. Please contact commissioner Gokhale.... He knows me very well. We need the help of the police..... There is a racket of arms smugglers.....They are up to something very serious. We have a lot of information to give. But we don't know our exact location.... The compass is showing 78° northwest. Over......"

Manik informed in a nervous tone.

"Okay. We are trying to find you out. But don't change your location. We are informing the police too. Wait for our next instruction. Over..........."

"Okay Sir, but please be fast. The goons can find us out at any moment. We don't have time. Over and Out.........."

Manik uttered for the last time and switched off the device. He turned to the others.

"Aryamaan, stop the car. We have to get down. We can't go any further. Otherwise, the forest guards won't be able to locate our position."

Manik instructed hastily. Aryamaan immediately stopped the engine and made the car stock still.

"But Dude, what about the other goons? They will reach here at any moment and it won't be difficult for them to guess the situation."

Aryamaan sounded edgy.

"We will hide the car in the jungle. It will be perfect to mislead them."

Cabir suggested.
