After one month
At a secret place
Author's p.o.v
" How can you guys just leave? We have to destroy Ibrahim Khalid. How can you forget about his deeds? Mahesh asked his fellow friends who are looking very worried.
Vansh said getting irritated," Enough of all this. We have to accept the fact that we can't win against Ibrahim Khalid until Raakshas is alive. It's been one month since Raakshas's man has already caught Nitin. I am sure they are doing their best to open Nitin's mouth. If Nitin opens his mouth then we all will be dead for sure."
Mahesh replied angrily," We are not afraid of death. We are the special agents of the Indian government. We can't leave our mission like that."
" We were special agents. We were suspended by the government a long time ago. Our mission of exposing Ibrahim Khalid is over now. We can't win against him," Ashok said having a frustrated expression.
This time Mahesh replied throwing a glass on the floor," How can you all behave like cowards? Did you just forget how thousands of innocent people died in the bomb blast along with our family members? We have to save our country from criminals like Ibrahim Khalid and Raakshas."
" It was our fault also that those thousands of people died as well as our family members. The government ordered us to gather proof against Ibrahim Khalid secretly. But, we failed to do our mission secretly. Ibrahim Khalid came to know about everything and to threaten the government he did all those bomb blastings. So, we failed to do our duty properly," Pratap snapped at Mahesh.
Shakti supported Pratap and said," Enough of completing missions. We again tried to stand against Ibrahim Khalid by spreading a journal about Ibrahim Khalid's involvement in those bomb blasting. And what was the outcome? We again failed and Nitin is caught by Raakshas's man. Moreover, we have taken our revenge from him by raping his daughters. We saw our family members sufferings and he also saw his daughters sufferings. It's equal now. It's over."
" Guys, don't leave like that. It's not over yet. We vowed that we will destroy Ibrahim Khalid and we..........Mahesh tried to say something but Vansh cut his sentence in the middle.
He said holding Mahesh's collar," Don't remind us about vows. We are not special agents anymore. This government doesn't value us not this country's people. So, just stop your patriotic lectures. We want to remain alive. We don't want to be killed by Raakshas's torture. I am sure Nitin is seeing hell by now. Before Nitin opens his mouth and takes our name we are going to hide from here."
Other members also supported Vansh. They all left the area leaving behind a frustrated and alone Mahesh.
Mahesh is now yelling and cursing everyone. He can't believe his friends have left him alone because of Raakshas's fear. He is throwing everything here and there to vent his whole frustration.
He said fisting his palm," I will not stop until I destroy that Ibrahim Khalid and his loyal dog Raakshas. They are like cancer for our country."
At Raakshas's torture cell
"I am asking you for the last time what's your real name? What's your identity and why did you write that journal?" Raakshas asked Nitin who is half dead.
It's been one month since Raakshas has caught Nitin. Raakshas came to know about that computer's location from where that journal was published. Using this computer's IP address and by the help of some brilliant technologist, Raakshas caught Nitin. He is inquiring Nitin for one month but Nitin isn't opening his mouth. Even after tolerating too much torture, he is silent. Raakshas is still unaware of Nitin's name and real identity.
Nitin is hearing Raakshas but didn't utter any words. He is behaving like a mute which is making Raakshas lose his sanity.
Raakshas took a finger cutter and cut Nitin's left hand's pinky finger. Nitin let out an ear-piercing scream and blood started oozing out from his finger.
Raakshas asked him again," Tell me everything quickly. Otherwise, I will cut your hand next time."
" Kill me, burn me, cut my every limb. But, I will never open my mouth in front of a criminal like you," Nitin said with great difficulty.
Raakshas get irritated by hearing the same answer from Nitin. He started beating Nitin like a mad man. Nitin is crying in pain but didn't say anything about his real identity.
Suddenly, someone said entering into the torture cell," We don't have to torture him anymore to open his mouth. He is going to have some company."
Hearing the voice, Raakshas turned his head and found that Vedant is standing with some files in his hands. Vedant is smirking at Nitin where Nitin is looking at Vedant with his confused and horrified expression.
" What do you mean? Raakshas asked Vedant confusingly.
Vedant came forward and said to Nitin," Your game is over, Mr Nitin Yadav."
This time Nitin gulped down his saliva because of fear and nervousness. He is understanding that Vedant might have found something. He is shocked that Vedant knew his real name.
" Will you tell me what's happening? Raakshas asked Vedant being impatient.
Vedant replied fixing his gaze on Nitin," This bastard's name is Nitin Yadav and he was a secret agent of the Indian government."
Raakshas asked knitting his brows," Was? What do you mean? From where you found out this information?"
" As he wasn't opening his mouth so you wanted me to search his house where he was living. I have searched the whole area where this bastard was living. I found a secret room at that place and you won't believe what I have found further," Vedant replied with amusement.
Raakshas replied smirking," Tell me what you have found further. I knew that. This bastard is obviously hiding something."
Vedant gave Raakshas the files and told him to read the files properly.
Raakshas took the files and opened them with curiosity. After reading the files Raakshas's eyes became wide like saucers.
Raakshas uttered with too much shock," I can't believe it."
" Yeah. I was also shocked by seeing all these files. Manish's twin brother is a secret special agent of the Indian government and this Nitin Yadav is also involved with Manish's twin brother," Vedant replied and punched on Nitin's face aggressively.
Nitin is groaning in pain but didn't understand about this twin brother fact. But, his condition is so bad that he couldn't ask them anything.
Raakshas looked at Vedant and said having a crooked smile," It's time to catch our special agents."
Raakshas emphasised the words, special agents sarcastically.
