Chapter 9 - "Next stop Rome!"

Our perished bodies were poured down into a dark, gutteral room with nasty, shrinking smells. I and Nate were tied down. We can do much of nothing as for now. I turned my chair facing Nate's.' You remember how we use to bitch about every lecturer in high school. We were both different gravy then!' I cried. 'What about now Ms Maddison, and you know one thing Rajveer betrayed us but if he was telling true things for your past, then also you would be my little horror'.'Hey you remembered what you use to call me, that "little horror" use to horrify me between our every chat.' And do you remember the girl from the eight grade I used to like and you told me if i sneeze out some soft drink out my fucking nose, i will surely impress her i can't believe i was dumb enough to buy that'. Both excitedly chuckled. 'Had been better if we were busy working in the office' i regretted. ' Told ya we had work to do, well Bob has already fired us for all the leaves we took. However he may not be the boss for too long as your boyfriend's sister will sink him!' . 'Chris is my ex you bitch!' i arguably said. 'Yeah whatever' he replied. 'Tell me one thing why didn't you like Chris McKenzie when i first showed him to you?'. 'It was just he didn't give me good vibes.' he exclaimed! 'And anything else you would like to add?' 'Okay you are my bestie and i had to atleast give my try to keep such people away from ya'. Impressive enough i never knew he wanted to be protective, ofc he was but he never showed any of it anytime i added 'And maybe because you were jealous of him getting me.' He answered to this with a grin 'Maybe!' Maybe was some sort of an answer but he doesn't seems to like me, does he?

Door slams open with a thud, taking me out of my deep thinking. The 4 roughly built man flung towards us. Asking us 'Where is the crown?' 'Why don't you have it now, it's all yours okay just let us go we will not tell anyone about you or such things happening to us' Nate begged. 'Yah acting smart ain't cut off your demands here, so stop fooling around and give us the crown kids whoever has it.' 'We don't have it, look at our dismantled bodies do you think we can even dare to hide the crown we didn't even want it'. I exclaimed. They horridly said 'Well so let us do it in the hard way.' They had some kind of stun gun with electricity in it . They jacked the pin in Nate first. He had nausea and was feeling like he had some 3 Rd degree concussion with instant vomitting. Now it was my turn i looked at Nate and Nate looked at me back with that dull and done with life like look. I closed my eyes prepared for the worst treatment ever. I could feel the air filled with those electric impulses, slowly growing towards me. But then the wall busts open. And some darts flew past by me and Nate. All the 4 men there were settled to death. The darts were filled with potassium cyanide that use to get injected as soon as a person gets jacked with it. We were just praying it was not FBI or some government agency as they were behind the crown too. But turns out it was Rajveer making his way through the destruction he commenced. We both were reluctant to know why Rajveer left us with these guys who nearly assassinated us.

After getting some hot masala tea to warm ourselves from the trauma. Rajveer intellectually elaborate what's our plan, and what are the current affairs we have to deal with.'Listen we are having a deadline for our picnic. Bob has been ordered to be killed by the end of the other month. The murder would be carefully planned to make it look like a suicide. McKenzies are doing this because they think Bob didn't want to marry Sylvie and that's why he sent us to take away the crown and count them a loss. The first month would be given to him to redeem himself if he could which he can't to atleast pay the loan'. Little did we processed he countinued ' And we are officially now on a mission. The name is "practical....b".' 'Yeah the name could be or not be practical but what's the name of the mission' asks Nate. Rajveer seriously glances at me and asks ' Should i kill him or you will take care of him?', i laughed and looked at Nate telling him that the mission's name is practica...b, mission practical b it is!' I have told Rajveer manier times to understand people and give them some time. You can make anyone understand you if you explain things properly and suitably, he never listens to me it seems. However i asked Rajveer about what the mission is about. He said that it's something to do with the letters of the word practical b. For example we are now in Budapest whose first alabhabet correlates with the letter b of the mission's name. As per this now we are heading towards the letter R. What can R be 'Ranchi in India, Richmond in California, Rialto maybe or is it Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, what is it?' i ask Rajveer. 'It's Rome darling!' i don't know why i am so ecstatic about this mission now but i excitedly repeated 'Next stop Rome!'
