"Then what happened after that. Is that driver saying the truth? " Jake says as he takes a seat just beside Dayal.
"We can't jump to any conclusion" Dayal says,lifting he's empty coffee mug and taking a sip. More like sucking its edge.
That's when he realized there was nothing in it and he looked at Mon who was standing near him, who was looking back at him. She was now used to his obliviousness and making his coffee.
Mon was about to leave the room to her usual job but not before Sid stopped her.
"Bring me one as well" He says followed by Sam and Jake in unison "me too".Monica walks out of the room letting the door close by itself with a loud sound.
"Mr.Carl must have known something that they didn't want him to know! " Loy interrupts.
"What do you mean? " Dayal asks, stunned by his sudden statement.
"I.. I mean he went against the politician. By the way he's already back. "
"Right."
Dayal knew how much he had been waiting to see that culprit in the bars. All these years he had tried his best to give justice to his daughter. They are not just culprits but monsters rather. This time he won't let them go.
As if Jake can almost read the helpless fathers mind he rubbed his hand on his back. That was enough to make him understand that they all cared about his mission even if they don't know the whole story.
The opens with a small crack revealing Mon who was struggling to enter the room with her hands tied up along with the hot coffee mugs.
Sid immediately ran to help her with the mugs but only by taking his one.
"Sid! " She says just to receive a shoulder shrug from him.
"So what are we doing next? " Loy asks.
"Let's have a chat with that driver" Dayal says, taking a sip of coffee. "It's good" He complements Mon.
The rest of the time went on discussing plans added with several times of coffee sips. In the afternoon Jake brought the driver for questioning.
He was left alone in the empty questioning room with a light just falling straight on the one and only table to wait. There was a huge glass partition that allowed the people to see through the other side but not to the people present in that room.
Sid entered and locked the door from inside. He allowed the driver to sit on the side that faced the glass partition. The rest of the team was on the opposite side waiting to hear the driver. Sid Turner the recorder on.
"Why did you call me again? " That was the first that the driver came up with.
" Because you are suspicious! "Sid answered.
" I.. I told you. I did nothing. I was not…."
"Okay.Stop already" He interrupts before he could finish his words.
"I didn't. "
'Get to the point. '
'Don't make it too lengthy.'
'Why are you chatting with him? '
The voices shouted at him, almost making him jump out of shock. He was asked to wear that earpiece for instructions from another room.
Sighs "let's get straight to the point! Who told you to do this? " He asks as he finally takes a seat on the opposite side of the table to face the driver.
"No… no one told me to do anything. "
"Then who did it? "
"Huh.. I don't know"
'Ask him about kunal'
"Well why didn't you tell the person who called for the emergency that he made a mistake? "
"I didn't see him in the hospital. Actually I never saw him! "
"Then you should have informed it at the reception. They are quite helpful. That girl, what was her name… "
'Rita'
"Rita "
"Who's that? "
"The girl who introduced us to you! "
"Oh"
'Stop chatting, will you? ' the so called instructions continues.
"Anyways, do you remember the state of that bungalow? "
"The bungalow was….was in a… in a good state" He somehow managed to make up something.
'Ask him if he saw a person all dress in Black'
'With a cap'
'And a mask on his face'
" Okay so did you…" Sid was just about to ask his next question but he gets interrupted. Again.
' wait was he wearing a mask' Sam asks.
'I guess' Mon says.
'Of course he was. ' Jake says.
'Can't you remember this simple detail. We saw the video recently!! 'Dayal shouts.
This time he was so pissed off by these interruptions that his earpiece flew to hit the glass division with a click sound. That was easy to grab their attention because now they were all gazing at the screen and hearing the recorder attentively.
"No. I mean the condition. Did you see that there was a upside down name plate hanging unattractively from the wall" He says.
"Aah.. Yes!"
"No.Your there was nothing like that. " He knew that a person who would probably visit a place will at least remember some details of it. If not he's answer should have been ' I don't remember that '. Simple.
"Then, the whole house is painted in white. Isn't it? " He was telling the truth this time but was sure what his answer would be.
"No! "
Obviously. This has done something or maybe he has been forced to do so.
"You can leave now. But remember we're not finished yet! "
