Cordially, Yours!

-Mumbai-

Fab 5 and Navya were traveling the been through the city lights in their jeep. The gushing winds and raging hearts had a mission at hand. 

"Cabir, Mukti! Koi batayega bhi, what your brilliant plan of action is?" Aliya questioned.

"Nothing much, Als! It's just that we would find Nandini's whereabouts just like we used to find Nyonika's contracts." Mukti said in a rather very obvious tone. 

"Wait a second! Hum itni raat ko- literally, 4AM! We are headed to college to sneak in."

"You're a genius, Dhruv!"Cabir applauded while steering the wheel. 

"No way are we doing this! Guys, it's not right!"Aliya freaked out. 

"Yeh right! It's not right- Nandini kehti agar woh yahan hoti. But, we don't have any other option seeing Murthy family has left no traces for us. Agar kuch bhi milega toh woh college mein hoga. One lead and we would all be at least on a path" Cabir explained. 

"Yeh, but Manglore?" Dhruv stammered. 

"Manglore gaya hi na Manik! I hope he would find her there but, a part of me says he wouldn't." Navya voiced her fears. Her apprehensions were truthful and they settled in everyone's heart. Navya had this feeling that there was much more to the story but, right now one thing was enough to worry before trying to understand what led them here.  

The jeep pulled up in Space and they got off cautiously. Cabir looked around to check for any security guard and when the coast was clear, he signaled the rest to tip toe towards the gate. With fear and hope in their hearts, the gate looked taller and more sophisticated than normal. Cabir and Navya started to climb the gate and had reached half-way up there when Mukti slightly pushed the gate open. She and others creeped through the opening while Cabir and Navya stared down in utter amazement.  

"What?" Mukti snapped at the two monkeys on the gate. "Ab tum dono bandar ho toh main kya karu? Neeche utro and make the move!" she ordered. Still hanging on the gate, they looked at eachother and then got off making a run to catch up with the others.

They sneaked in through the backdoor of the college which luckily was open and Mukti turned on her flashlights for some light. 

"Guys we need to split up!" Mukti said. "It would be much faster if some of us went to the Principal's office while others go to the Admission's to check on the files."

"Point hi! Muku, you have become smart in this. Acha asar ho raha hi mere!"Cabir patted hisown back. 

"No, you joker!"Mukti made a bad face and shifted their attention to the task at hand. "So, sicne me and Cabir have goen to the Principal's office, it would be better ki hum wahan gaye and techniqually, tum seedhe bache easily samajh jaoge ki Admission's ne filing kese ki hi."

Dhruv and Aliya narrrowed their eyes at Mukti's last statement but let it be as she continued, "Also, if any problem- Fab 5 SOS and everyone's mobiles are on viberate right?" 

After another checklist for the logistics, Mukti and Cabir made their way to the Principal's office while Dhuv and Aliya checked in the Main Admission's office and Navya went to the Calssical Music's office. Three groups, three offices with a sleuth of files and one goal- finding a trace for Murthy. It was going to be one heck of a night.

-Space College: Principal's Office-

They tip-toed into Principal's office and contemplated on how to get in. "Window?" Cabir suggested. After a huge deal of struggle with opening the window, Fab 5 had finally made it in.
