Chapter 10 - Chapter 9- Crime or Sin?

"Not all crimes or criminals are evil. But all the sinners are. That is why they are called sinners. We can not absolutely judge a criminal as an evil human. But we can do that to a sinner. Crime and sin are both different yet similar deeds." Shringar was thinking all these while looking at her classroom window. She did not care about her classmates nor did they care about her. But Gaurav and Lalit were concerned about Shringar even though they were not exactly her friends. Gaurav and Lalit approached her. She looked at them and Gaurav started, "Something happened to me last night. Something similar to what happened to Elina." Lalit asked, "Why didn't you tell this to me during the first period? I had a feeling that you are worried about something." Gaurav said, "It is a very strange thing… so I want to tell both of you about it properly. Last night I watched a movie where their was a scene in which the characters went to Hawaii. I also wanted to go their. After watching the movie I closed my eyes due to tiredness and suddenly I teleported to Hawaii….". "What!?" Both Shringar and Lalit almost screamed. Gaurav hushed them and continued, "I was really scared and I could not grasp what happened…. Then I started to think that I want to go back home. But I could not, until I thought of my house's architecture. When I figured my bedroom I teleported back to my room instantly." Even this morning I teleported to  school. I still can not believe that I have that kind of power…." Lalit did not take it seriously. Gaurav said, "Fine, look I can show you that I have teleportation ability." Gaurav took Shringar to the isolated part of the school playground during the games period. He asked Lalit to stand in front of the boys washroom. The plan was for Gaurav to teleport from the school playground to the boys washroom. Shringar was very much interested to see Gaurav do that. He started remembering the architecture of the washroom and within a few seconds he vanished in front of her eyes. Suddenly he appeared in front of Lalit and smiled. Lalit got shocked and started, "My God! That was amazing Gaurav. I can not believe this. For real."

On the other side Dorothy was taking notes during her class in college and suddenly she started to feel dizzy. She kept her head on the table and closed her eyes.

{Raghuvendra Sinha's wife gotten ready to go to her son's school for PTM. Calling bell rang and she went to open the door. Suddenly a man wearing ultra violet colored dress bought out a knife and killed her. Then neighbors came to check on her because of her screams. They called the police. Police called Raghuvendra Sinha. He went nuts and after a few days, a VeilTus member came up to him and manipulated him to be the part of VeilTus.}

Tears came down from Dorothy's eyes and her professor kept on calling her name, "Dorothy. Dorothy? Dorothy get up?" Dorothy opened her eyes and got up. Her professor asked, "Are you okay?" Dorothy apologized. The professor went back and continued teaching. She opened her phone and found Elina's messages. Couple of drawings made by Elina during her sleep. The drawings said a story or rather the future.

{Dorothy and all other members of their "Secret Mission Group Chat" were walking on the pavement discussing something. A huge Raven (Corvus corax) was on the lamp post staring intently at them. A black cat with a huge scar above the right eye passed through them. Suddenly a man from a car came out and knocked Shringar to take her away. While doing so Sanskar came in middle and that man shot him with his revolver while wearing a grim smile on his face.}

Dorothy was horrified to see these series of drawings depicting such a gruesome premonition. But Elina did not send it to their group chat because she did not want to worry others. Elina texted her.

[Premonitions are just probabilities. We can change them if we try. One of my drawings from two days ago depicted about my neighbor getting roses as gift on her birthday but she has allergy of rose, due to which she had to go to the hospital. But since I drew it in my sketchbook so I could change that future. I exchanged that gift to Lilies and the guests also apologized for such mistakes.]

Dorothy felt a bit relieved to see that, but still those images were really horrible. Elina sent another message to Dorothy.

[Sanskar and Shringar did notice yesterday that I was down. So Sanskar kept pestering me about it and I showed him these drawings. Though he asked me not to tell anyone. So that Shringar does not get to know about it. Also he asked me especially to keep this from Gaurav and Lalit because they are Shringar's classmates and they might spill it under our noes.]

Dorothy sent a voice message stating, "You should not have tell Sanskar as well.  His grievous injury was depicted in your drawings. Even though it is just a possibility, it still has the chance of getting real. The worst thing is that we do not even know when or where this event will take place."

On the other hand Alex was following Dr. Nitish through GPS with audio. He could hear the car did not stop at the hospital he works at, instead it passed it. After twenty minutes the GPS broke. "Perhaps his mobile has the sort of system to break GPS connections. But my GPS has three layers and thankfully only the first one broke. Nothing serious." Alex thought to himself. Dr. Nitish reached "Motor Garage", it was a heavy vehicles repairing area. "But why is Dr. Nitish going inside of a place for heavy vehicles with his little car?"  He could hear an old lady talking to Dr. Nitish. "Law has been waiting for you to attend today's meeting Leo." Said the lady. Dr. Nitish said, "Minakshi Devi, I heard that you have been doing rituals? Do you think such activities suit the commander of VeilTus?" "Commander of VeilTus!?" Alex uttered in disbelief. Minakshi Devi laughed and said, "These rituals are creating my connection to the devil and the devil is destroying all hurdles on the way to reach the multiverse to get access to "Swara" of all parallel universes Leo." "WHAT!? WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT!" Alex could not grasp what he just heard. Dr. Nitish reached the meeting room and a mechanical voice asked, "What news do you have for us Leo? I thought you would come here to work in the lab as usual." Dr. Nitish said, "Yes Law, I will work today as well. But first I would like to inform you about a threat lurking behind our back and for that reason I asked for the permission to use our other card last night, which you agreed to." Law said, "I heard about it and I have already executed the action of our other card. Soon you will witness the results from it. You could have just informed it to me earlier, instead of arranging a meeting." Dr. Nitish said, "No we need immediate action and for that we need to make plans now only." Minakshi Devi asked, "Tell us about the threat." Dr. Nitish took a deep breath and said, "Officer Prakash from the task force is the threat and we need to eliminate him." Alex's eyes widened, "Officer Prakash…" Alex kept listening to Dr. Nitish and started to hack out VeilTus. Minakshi Devi said, "SH is on his first main job in India. FZ will be sent for the task force Chief Varnika at around 7:30pm at the location. So who should we send for Officer Prakash?" Dr. Nitish said, "Maybe Andrew. He is a good hitman from our team." Law said, "Fine Leo, I will arrange it." Minakshi Devi went to call Andrew. Alex read some things from his research and sent it to the task force's hacking department.

Hacker Aditya found the mail and it was cryptic. Hawa helped Aditya to find the way to get access to the anonymous file. Alex sent a voice message to Shringar stating, "Dude, I found out about an immediate threat. At the "Mantra Junction Villa", a party is held for "Maruti and Sons" new achievement. For that purpose Chief Varnika from the task force is invited as their chief guest at 7:30pm. Some FZ from VeilTus will cause some sort of trouble for the people their especially Chief Varnika. I sent some crucial documents of VeilTus's this month's plan list and the layout of their ultimate goal to the task force. I am going to be present in that party with a fake pass. I will be sending it to you too. If you wanna join then don't hesitate. But at your risk, I am sending it to you since you took the risk to contact a criminal hacker like me then you must have the guts to join me as well. I will be their to see if I can do something to help their. This FZ person seemed kinda fav of VeilTus, must be a pro at killing. That is why I will go. There is another problem that will occur today, but I am sure police will manage that one. As per I know Chief Varnika's character, after knowing about her life's threat she will get interested and go to the danger point to face it." Andrew entered the meeting between Dr. Nitish and Law. He asked, "Who is with you in this ritual Minakshi Devi?" She said, "Well, Damodar is. He is a sorcerer." Andrew smiled and suddenly the device he was holding started emitting red light. Dr. Nitish asked, "Isn't this one of my creations?" Andrew nodded, "There is an outside interference here. Someone is probably listening to our conversations." In tension Alex stopped all his devices. On the other hand Aditya and Hawa was able to finally open the mail. The mail had a huge symbol written on it. "Turner".  Aditya was in rage due to the amount of brain cells they had to use to decode the mail. "This sender "Turner" must be a hacker himself….. Could be smarter than us. Not good." Aditya thought to himself. Hawa said, "Sir look, this is an overview of VeilTus's plan and this is a list for this month's works which the members of VeilTus has to do. We should inform this to Officer Prakash." Aditya stopped Hawa and said, "We are not sure if we should trust the sender or not." Hawa said, "The police will judge that, our work was to decode it as hackers." Aditya could not reiterate that. Officer Prakash was called. He came with Officer Rani, Asst. Inspector Chanakya and Puja. Officer Prakash asked, "Do we know the source of this mail?" Hawa said, "Sorry sir, but it way too difficult for us to find out who sent it. It took us two and half hours to decode the codes to open the mail in the first place. The only thing we know is that it is sent by some "Turner". Officer Prakash uttered slowly, "Turner…?" Officer Rani spoke, "Fine, then do one thing, find the sender and then we will know if we should trust it or not. Can you do that?" Hawa said, "Ma'am it is possible but just the two of us can not find this person by ourselves. We need more hackers for it." Officer Rani asked, "How many?" Aditya said, "At least three more hackers." Asst. Insp. Puja said, "Then let us immediately bring three hackers from other hacking departments." Officer Rani shouted, "SHUT IT IDIOT! Do you have any idea how much time it will take to do all the arrangements quick?" Asst. Insp. Chanakya asked, "Then what should we do ma'am?" "What else? We have to call them and wait for them to come." Officer Rani casually said. Officer Prakash who was intently looking at the list of works for the month by VeilTus members spoke up, "We can not wait for that long. One of the works are meant to happen in under an hour. We even have to contact Chief Varnika to.." "Would you keep your freaking mouth shut Officer Prakash?" Officer Rani got furious. She continued, "What if we get involve in it and actually something else happens in another place? Why would you always contact Chief Varnika? Is she your mother?" Officer Prakash said, "Listen Officer Rani, we do not have time for this argument. Since we have this clue now, we should not waste time. I am not saying their isn't any possibility of this being a distraction. But we still have to check and we all does not have to go for this. We should split the work into two." Officer Rani sighed and agreed with the idea.

Officer Prakash and Asst. Insp. Chanakya will go and look for the first supposed incident which will take place under an our. Officer Rani and Asst. Insp. Puja will help the hackers and make arrangements for the increment of vigilance around the city by informing the incident to Dep. Supt. Rathod. Puja did not want to work with Officer Rani anymore. She turned frustrated due to her dominating nature. Andrew took Dr. Nitish's phone and checked it thoroughly. They could not find anything in it. But Andrew knew someone might have bugged the phone earlier, but was too smart to get away without being found. Dr. Nitish said, "I have an idea. Andrew today you will come with me."  Officer Prakash an Asst. Insp. Chanakya started driving to reach the famous Children's Park where SH will spread the hypnosis gas. So that all the children in the park gets hypnotized. When they reached the park they still got fifteen minutes left. The children were playing and their parents were talking normally. Some shopkeepers noticed the police and got a bit anxious. The park seemed peaceful. They reached the security management room of the park and informed the security about the incident. They were allowed to check the surveillance. Asst. Insp. Chanakya exclaimed, "SIR!? LOOK AT CAMERA 3 AND 6!". Officer Prakash nodded and calmly said, "Even in camera no.1 and 2 as well." Some people dressed like sweepers kept some sort of containers in different locations of the whole park." Officer Prakash sighed and said, "We can not possibly ask all the people to leave the park immediately. It will cause chaos. Instead we should silently remove all those suspicious containers as we already know the locations. Since it is nearly impossible for only the two of us to manage it, so you must call the task force to send backups immediately." Asst. Insp. Chanakya went to call the task force where Dep. Supt. Rathod who got aware of the issue through Officer Rani picked the phone. On the other side Chief Varnika who was reviewing the case got an email from hacker Hawa. While checking it she asked Rathod in the call about the sender. Dep. Supt. Rathod explained, "We got five hackers in total to crack down the sender's location. They are working for it. Chief, have you noticed the fact that you are a target? You will be executed tonight. We have to ask you to not go as a chief guest today." Chief Varnika asked about the Children's Park's situation. Rathod said, "It is under control now."

On the other hand Alex took out his gun and started preparing for tonight. He thought to himself, "I have to do this, no matter what."

Most of the containers were taken out from the park. Both Officer Prakash and Asst. Insp. Chanakya were assisting other police from the task force. When Officer Prakash went up to the roof if the huge water tank with others, a gun shot fired towards him from above. Fortunately it did get missed. Officer Prakash looked above and saw a bald man with the gun in a helicopter not much far in distance from him. That man said, "I am SH. Others told me that you police might have our information. So I was prepared for the moment. But I guess you were not prepared for this dear Prakash." Officer Prakash looked at SH carefully, and in disbelief he realized who SH is. "SHAURYA!? IS THAT YOU…..!?".
