FRIDAY THE 15TH (Complete✅)

Chapter - 19 " I can't live without her."

In the jungle: around Mahindra Thar: 15th July Friday: 10: 55pm:

Some silhouettes came forward from the dark bushes. The clicking sound of the revolver gave goosebumps to the young stars.

"Your plan was good but not enough for us you little kittens."

A hoarse voice hissed.

"Maddy...."

Manik muttered. A cold iron touch on his temple formed sweat beads on Manik's forehead. He tried to see the hand holding the revolver.

"One more over-smart move and your skull will blow like a watermelon. All of you, get back to the car. Now it's showtime. You already have killed enough time in this hide and seek game."

Maddy appalled out and lightly pushed Manik's temple with the tip of the barrel.

"But Maddy, Devid is not here. Should we search for him?"

One of the guys from their gang asked eagerly.

"No need. He took a wise decision to run away. Otherwise, he will have to face me. His stupidity brought us to this condition. Worthless.....he couldn't even handle a bunch of callow kittens."

Maddy gritted out and pushed Manik forward. Due to this Manik stumbled on some wild climber and fell flat on his face. Because of the moist soft soil, he didn't hurt much. Maddy bent down to lift him once again by grabbing his collar when something ricocheted against the nearest tree. Simultaneously a gunshot sound fragmented the silence of the surrounding.

"BEND DOW........N."

Manik alerted in a high pitch while immediately lay on the ground on his stomach. Due to darkness nothing was clearly visible but plenty of heavy boots marched forward making a circle around all of them. A strong searchlight skirted all over the area impatiently.

"I hope they finally found us."

Manik whispered.

"Don't move. You all are blockaded by the forest surveillance force. Drop the guns and surrender."

A metallic voice announced. Silence lingered for a couple of moments. Suddenly something tried to wriggle past the nearby bush. Immediately the searchlight flooded the spot. A Vulture gang member tried to raise his gun but at once was shot at his hand by one of the forest guards.

"Ahh....hhhh"

He screamed in pain and immediately collapsed down by holding his wounded hand.

"Don't try to escape. Otherwise, we have to shoot. Come out all with your hands up. I repeat, hands up and step forward."

The voice commanded again. The place was quite lit up till then. Gradually the goons and the Fab 5 and Fusion 4 members came out with a surrender position. Some uniformed force member marched forward and started searching everyone's body.

"Sir, we are students of S.P.A.C.E Academy. We called you to save us. These are the Vulture gang members. They were trying to smuggle illegal arms through us. All the arms are kept in the car. But one of the members Devid has fled."

Aryamaan stated one by one. One of the officers came forward and said,

"Devid has been captured already. In fact, he only gave us information about this place. Otherwise, it was being difficult to locate you all. We also informed the police. They are about to come. Who is Manik Malhotra? Mr Commissioner wanted to talk to him."

Dhruv, Aryamaan and the other members of FAB 5 and Fusion 4 looked around for Manik. They were expecting him to come forward.

"He must be here only. One more thing Sir, Nandini, one of our friends is still a hostage of the goons as some of them might be in their hideout."
