Chapter 33 - A New Experience

"I'll told ya, Give me some respect? Tenzin, I am gonna settle thing with you some other time till then run, run as far as you can" This unexpected encounter etched an indelible mark upon him, leaving nothing but a void in its wake.

Feeling ignored and insulted he is truly serious in mood now and his anger can make him out of control sometimes which can cause serious trouble for the people and other things. And so does he do

"Aahhhhh! Tenzinnnnnnnn!

A sudden blow of energy flux fused from his body, it's was so strong that it's intensity bened the space around him, this high intensity flux burst out whatever comes in its way. The intensity of this act can be compared by the status of surround, which turned into a total hell.

The dagger, tainted with blood, gradually retracted into his hand through a vein's slit positioned at the centre of his palm. With a deliberate closing of his eyes, he dissipated into thin air, imprinting the ground beneath with the force of his departure, resulting in minor, spreading fissures.

Meanwhile, Rudra found himself captured in Tenzin's clutches, while an entirely new presence took hold of Arun.

Mere moments later…

Law enforcement vehicles from the state department arrived on the scene. Three cars, brimming with officers, were promptly deployed to locate Arun and Rudra at any cost.

Though engaged in patrol, their presence seemed devoid of comprehension regarding the true nature of the situation at hand. Perhaps it was mere coincidence that they stumbled upon this secluded bypass road. This route primarily catered to the infrequent passage of transportation vehicles, responsible for ferrying essential supplies into the city.

Considerably distant from Devnagar City, settle between the urban expanse and a neighboring town, Nitin and Amit found themselves seated in their vehicle, en route to the unfolding scene. True to form, Nitin remained engrossed in a phone conversation, orchestrating the actions of his assisting officers with precise directives.

In a decisive move, Nitin's hand grasped the radio, his voice cutting through the air, "Halt the vehicle!" His command reverberated, prompting an immediate cessation of movement as each car in the convoy came to a standstill.

Without hesitation, the officers jumped out from their respective vehicles, forming a unified presence on the road. Nitin, accompanied by Amit, positioned himself at the forefront, while the remaining officers, their firearms drawn, assumed vigilant stances.

"On your guards, Officer!" Nitin looks like little bit astonished and quite furious as he saw the scene unfolding in front of him

"What in the fucking world going on here!" His eyes are stretched and focused, whereas his mind are racing with dozens of thoughts and trying to figure out, what actually happened here.

Amit didn't seems as much attentive as Nitin, he simply following Nitin while maintaining his distance from him, he hadn't took his gun at his hand yet meanwhile all of them are ready to shoot at any moment.

"Maybe an earthquake, happen!" Amit suggesting while looking all around the area, because it's simply different from the surrounding

"Nah! This is isn't earthquake, it's a group work, can't handle by single person" Nitin hardly able to contemplate the situation because he had never seen this situation before in his life.

To be clearer, both cars left by those, one of them are found on above a long tree lying over there and the other one completely shattered clearing a clear path on their left side, with almost three individual trees are totally torn apart by the unimaginable force it experienced here.

The leaves are of these trees are fallen down, almost totally and the branches are strongly impacted by the force.

"There's blood, sir!" One of the associate called out, all of them suddenly runs toward it while Amit slowly walking following them, cause he was busy looking at the car which was situated above this long tree, maybe he's been wondering how is this even possible.

Everyone surround the area covered by blood, Nitin's been enquiring it. He ordered to collect the blood samples and collect all the evidences that can be found here.

"Amit? Amit?" Nitin calling Amit several times but Amit's mind's somewhere else as he was close enough to listen Nitin's voice however he's hadn't listened Nitin calling him, so does one of the officer closer to him gained his attention.

Amit quickly goes to Nitin, he didn't seem quite uneasy here. Something is off but he remained silent doesn't enquire anything much, he followed Nitin's order and involved in collecting the Evidences, meanwhile Nitin's gaze fall upon that Car which have been meticulously holding up there at such a height and it's so hard for Nitin to believe how it can even possible but he wanted that on the ground.

And it's not that easy, because he wants to take it out safely so he won't miss anything which might become necessary in the future for investigation.

"What would we do with that sir?"

"Is there's a way we can put it down safely?"

"It's hard sir! Judging from the height, it's way out of our league to put it down without a crane or something like that"

Every person present was fixated on the car above, an extraordinary spectacle that captured their collective attention in a novel way.

After about half an hour, they formed a horizontal line, collectively contemplating the next steps. Nitin insisted on safely bringing the car to the ground, minimizing any potential harm. In contrast, others were eager to swiftly resolve the situation, seeing it as an impending headache they wished to dispel promptly.

"I have a plan, sir," came a voice amidst the group.

Nitin's curiosity piqued, he asked, "And what's your plan?"

"We should think about bringing down the tree."

"So, let me get this straight, you're suggesting we chop down the tree?"

"Yes, sir."

Nitin's frustration was clear, and he snapped, "Are you deaf? Do you think that idea hasn't already crossed my mind?"

"Sir, even with the crane, it's unlikely we can safely lower the car to the ground without causing more damage."

For Nitin's requirement, weather is still quite favourable. Even though it didn't seem like it's going to be in favour for so long, the car had been situated in a very critical situation. All they need a little push or a gust of air to put it down.

They should have brought a crane, a machine designed with a hoist rope, wire ropes or chains, and sheaves. Cranes are used to lift, lower, and move materials horizontally. Nitin understood this and arranged for a crane. However, he was also aware that it was only a matter of time before the wind picked up speed, rendering their efforts futile.

And the fear of Nitin turned into reality in just a next few minutes where weather patterns are again begins to change drastically. The area had been covered safely and the sign board everywhere to warn any upcoming vehicle in this way.

Where everyone is make themselves away from that tree, and few officers were sent to examine the surrounding. Their anticipation was to found a dead body nearby as they meticulously searching everywhere.

Amit leading them where Nitin is standing there looking at the blood scene trying to figure what exactly happened here.

And suddenly something fall upon his gaze as he turned his head toward that tree where Rudra was sitting there, He make himself walked in that direction. As he walked down a thought drives in his mind, only to figure out that might this blood here could be of Arun. He wasn't sure but he had this hunch where he'd been considering all the possibilities.

The traces of blood on the tree acted as prompts, stirring his uncertain thoughts. He felt an emerging menace in his surroundings, one that was poised to disrupt his current state of affairs. The weight of responsibilities he bore was already tenuous, and this impending shift threatened to make matters worse the delicate balance he maintained.

He gazed his eyes downward, where he saw leaves falling down but it's something different. The leaves are totally burned out, something direly heat had burned these leaves.

The heat still radiated from the leaves, noticeable even now. When he looked at the spot where the impact had been the strongest, he couldn't make sense of the strange energy at play. It was something he couldn't quite grasp, even as someone who relied on science and evidence. He knew he shouldn't rush to conclusions, especially with the tough situation in his city. If this news spread in the media, it could damage his reputation.

The public and the department authorities harbor a certain level of discontent towards him. As a recent new arrival to this city, his appointment here wasn't something he actively pursued.

Each day, he finds himself yearning for a transfer, hoping to depart from this location by any available means. However, the harsh truth remains that his aspirations for a fresh start are consistently thwarted by the realities he faces.

*Look back Nitin!*

A sudden chill coursed through his entire body as a voice seemed to emerge within his mind, attempting to establish contact.
