ACP Pradyuman was seeing off his guests and colleagues.

"Ragini se milke achchha laga sir"...Tarika said with a smile.

Shreya: Jee sir...Bahut pyaari hai wo.

ACP Pradyuman smiled after hearing them.

"Agli baar kab milwaoge us se?"...Dr. Salunkhe asked after hugging him.

"Are agli baar kya, abhi mil lo us se"...He answered with a smile.

"Jee uncle...Main abhi bulata hoon use"...Nakul said while smiling.

"Are nahin beta...Abhi bahut raat ho gayi hai, shayad so gayi hogi wo"...Dr. Salunkhe said after parting from ACP Pradyuman.

Nakul smiled and nodded. After sometime, Dr. Salunkhe left for his house and after him Abhijeet and Tarika; Daya and Shreya; Pankaj, Nikhil and Freddy too left for their respective homes.

Nakul smiled and went into Ragini's room.

"Ragini"...He called while knocking on the door.

He didn't get any reply.

"Ragini"...He once again called her.

When he again got no reply he entered into the room. He became surprised and worried when he didn't find her.

"Kahan chali gayi?"...He whispered in worriedness.

Meanwhile ACP Pradyuman also came there. He looked around the room and then at him. He noticed his worried face.

"Kya hua beta?...Aur Ragini kahan hai?"...He asked after tapping his shoulder.

Nakul: Pata nahin papa Ragini kahan chali gayi...Wo yahan nahin hai.

ACP Pradyuman: Yahan nahin hai matlab...Beta tum poore ghar mein dekho, yahin kahin hogi.

Nakul nodded and checked the whole house. After that, he came back to ACP Pradyuman.

"Papa maine poore ghar mein dekh liya lekin Ragini kahin nahin hai"...He said in sheer worriedness.

"Aisa kaise ho sakta hai, aaj tak Ragini bina bataye ghar se bahar nahin gayi"...ACP Pradyuman murmured after sitting on a nearby couch. He kept his hands on his forehead.

"Papa aap tension mat lijiye, main bahar dekhta hoon"...Nakul said while gently rubbing his back.

"Main bhi chalta hoon"...ACP Pradyuman said.

Nakul nodded. They both went outside the house.

At the other side, Ragini was standing on the roadside outside the Mahalakshmi Mandir and was looking around in nervousness. A man was looking at her while hiding behind a tree.

"Boss wo aa gayi"...He said over his phone.

Boss: To wahan khade khade kya dekh raha hai, use lekar aa mere paas.

"Boss aap kya karne wale hain?...Kya aap sach mein jaante hain uske pati ho?"...The man asked while looking at Ragini.

"Sun tu apne kaam se kaam rakh...Agle paanch minute mein mujhe wo ladki mere paas chahiye...Samjha"...The boss yelled in anger.

"Ok boss...Main abhi lekar aata hoon use"...The man replied fearfully.

"Good"...The boss said and hung up.

The man also kept his phone and started moving close to Ragini.

At the other side, ACP Pradyuman and Nakul were desperately searching for Ragini. They were standing outside the house. At the same time, ACP Pradyuman received a call. He looked at the caller ID which was showing an unknown number.
