"Mrs. Konar, your daughter will be absolutely fine. I can assure you that your daughter will be as good as daisy. Sophie has immense will power, she is very strong. Trust your genes." Dr. Nitish told his nurse Mrs. Konar. While holding the staring wheel with her sweaty hands Sophie's mother remembered the day when the senior Dr. Nitish saved her daughter. Her hands were sweating due to tension. They had to reach the "Mantra Junction Villa", at 7:00pm so that they can find Alex before 7:30 in "Maruti and Sons" new achievement. Leo who was imposing Dr. Nitish had a grim smile on his face the whole time while driving his car. Andrew asked, "Leo, where in the world are we heading to? We already changed our schedule right?" Leo laughed a little and replied, "Be patient my friend, you will know when we reach their. Let us don't talk about plans anymore. Some people are getting smarter and smarter everyday. I am sure SH case was a failure." Andrew checked his laptop and with disbelief he showed the utter failure of SH to him and said, "You are right…"
Shringar and Sanskar looked at the people going inside to attend the event with a pass. They waited and his phone rang. Dr. Janki sent a pass for Sanskar to enter since Shringar already has a forged pass given by Alex. Dr. Janki was originally invited for the event but due to prior works she did not come. After entering the event Shringar warned, "Be careful Sanskar. We are not used to these kind of stuffs. The terrorists might get us, or the police. Either way it is bad so we need to stay cautious." Sanskar understood and they started walking and looked everywhere to find Alex according to his description. He wears red jacket with black hood, wears snickers and have a sky blue bag. "At any rate most of the people here is wearing formal. According to Dr. Janki he is in his early 20s. Let us keep looking." Shringar said that and when she looked back she noticed Sanskar stopped following her and stood still in the corner. With fear he was picturing Elina's drawings into reality. The mysterious man aiming his gun towards him and holding Shringar tightly which looked painful. The mysterious man was about to shoot but Shringar patted his shoulder and bought him back from his nightmarish imagination. Looking at Sanskar's shocked face she could not help but ask, "What happened Sanskar? Are you alright? You are not behaving yourself today. Tell me what happened?" Sanskar said with hesitation, "I really don't want to tell you, but I know you won't leave it be and I don't want to lie to you as well. Elina made some drawings about a certain future. Their our secret mission group members were walking on the footpath discussing something. Suddenly a mysterious man showed up from a Porsche car and kidnapped you. We tried to stop it from happening and in that process I was being shot. I…. I…" He could not complete his statement so Shringar came close to him, held his hand and made him wear a red elastic wrist band, where the writing "Shrikar" was stitched on it with a unique golden thread. ""Shrikar" means good fortune, it is also known as another name for lord Vishnu. But I don't know why it is written on it. In fact I don't know anything about this band. Or at least I don't remember. I was wearing this band on that tragic day of my life. For some reason it gives me hope. I don't wear it anymore, but I keep it in my pocket all the time. I am giving it to you now as a good luck charm. Nothing bad can ever happen to you. And since you are with me then nothing bad can ever happen to me as well." Sanskar kept on looking at the stitched writing and said, "This unique golden stitch….. I know this. When I was younger…. Around five to six years old, I used to use this kind of golden stitch to practice stitching on left over clothes for some reason…." Shringar asked, "You don't remember?" Sanskar said, "My father's death was a huge tragedy for me. So, most of my memories from my birth till my father's death got deleted from my memories due to trauma. Unlike you, my case is more mental rather than physical. But thank you for this." Shringar said with astonishment, "Wow, you are saying it so casually…." Sanskar almost laughed by hearing Shringar talk in such informal fashion. But for some reason Sanskar found the band very much familiar. Unlike Shringar who always felt Sanskar's presence familiar, this was the first time that Sanskar felt this way. He started to question the reason for his subtle attraction towards her.
On the other side Leo and Andrew caught up in a traffic jam, without wasting time Leo turned the car towards his left and ran the car through an alleyway. Andrew asked, "You are trying to stay calm but something tells me that you are excited about tonight's event. At any rate, do you think keeping FZ as it is and sending KS their will help us any way?" Leo started grinning and said, "KS is a senior of mine in this field. No need to worry, Law send her their in his right mind only. Our plan was till the point of keeping FZ, but for a different job all together. If she does her job right, then we will be able to know who dared to put such immensely tough GPS tracker with audio in my mobile." Both Shringar and Sanskar searched through all corners to find Alex. Shringar started to tell the names of the people whom she could recognize here, "Mr. Biplav Sahani, a huge business tycoon who is also tonight's host as well. Mr. Rahul Shetty, a musician. Miss. Fiza Nishabti, a renowned painter who is also famous for her dystopic art. Miss. Kriti Swift a British-Indian actress. Miss. Rita Malhotra a famous advocate. Honestly, very big celebrities are here tonight." Suddenly her eyes fell on a red jacket man. It was none other than Alex himself. They approached him and Alex was amazed to see Shringar actually showing up their. Sanskar asked, "Mr. Turner, you should not be here. Come with us, we should let the police handle the rest. Also, when will Chief Varnika show up?" Shringar told them that the time was 7:30 pm when she's suppose to show up, and without any second thought they noticed Chief Varnika entering with five police officers behind her. Shringar said, "I never actually expected her to be here after hearing the about the amount of risk the situation holds." Alex said, "I met her during the time when I was in Farakka region. I know how much of a risk taker she is. But I am here for her, instead I am here to these terrorists so that I can protect the Police Officer who saved me." Both Shringar and Sanskar tried to stop him but suddenly a gun shot was heard. It was shot to kill Chief Varnika who was about to give a speech as the Chief guest. But the other police officers saved her and the person was being caught. Shringar found the whole situation a bit absurd. Sanskar said, "See that Mr. Turner, the police already caught the man, we should not interfere anymore. Also Shringar, Chief Varnika may not know us personally but she definitely saw our pictures for the case. If she recognizes us then she will ask tons of questions. Let us leave." Alex agreed and they started moving towards the exit but then Shringar stopped them and said, "Don't you think this situation is way too perfect?" Both Alex and Sanskar looked intently at Shringar and she continued, "This man seemed nervous unlike the SH attack I heard about from Officer Prakash. As this man was not actually prepared for it. Also his gun…. As if it is all made to distract the police." Chief Varnika held the man who tried to kill her and said, "Who asked you to be here? Someone threatened you isn't it" Everyone in the hall got shocked to hear that. One of the police officer asked, "Ma'am how did you…?" Chief Varnika smiled and said, "It was simple, this man is nervous unlike other terrorist members from VeilTus who have been working like this without ever being caught. This man did not use any silencer for his gun as if the terrorists wanted to distract us from something." Shringar whispered, "As expected from the Police Chief." Suddenly the lights of the room started to flicker. Then someone started shooting bullets and killing people. Shringar and Sanskar were near the door that is why they were not affected by it. Shringar said, "Sanskar and Alex we have to leave now!" She noticed that Alex is not here anymore. "Alex? Alex, where are you? Oi, ALEX!? WHERE ARE YOU? ANSWER ME! ALEX!!"
The light stopped flickering and the view of the room was completely different from before. Three to four guests were lying dead, eight guests were injured and the rest were scared. The most horrifying thing was two demonic looking people standing together. They were not guns it was their hands which was shooting bullets. Chief Varnika screamed, "WHO ARE YOU TWO!? AND WHAT DO YOU WANT!?" Shringar said with utmost shock, "Synthesized-demons" Sanskar asked, "What!?" Shringar added, "Perhaps they are the Synthesized- demons Officer Prakash was talking about… but we have to leave now." Sanskar agreed since Alex went missing. [[ "Alex you do not have to worry, just complete your education and cooperation with us till the case ends. We will put an end to the whole black hacking agency. I won't arrest you, lead a good life if possible. Cause if I get you again next time, then I won't show mercy." Officer Prakash softly said to Alex. Alex's eyes got numb and he said, "Officer Prakash, after my mother's death and my father's missing report…. I never felt this warmth. I almost forgot how it feels to have someone kind and gentle around. Thank you. But, will we meet again?" Officer Prakash smiled nd side, "No, unless you commit a crime again. But if we meet like that again then I will be very disappointed." Tears rolled down Alex's eyes, seeing that Officer Prakash took out his handkerchief and wiped his tears. Alex said with a smile and tears in eyes, "Thank you. I will never forget. I will never forget your kindness. Only this much moment we spent together and I will never forget it."]] "This memory never feels old, always gives comfort. And these terrorists are trying to eliminate Officer Prakash!? I won't let that happen." Alex thought to himself. He could hear his name being called many times. Suddenly he opened his eyes and found himself lying in a mysterious room. Their was this unique instrument in his ears, it is too small to be noticed but he always wears it. It has high Bluetooth range with his mobile phone. It was Shringar's voice. Shringar got his mobile which she found on the floor after him being kidnapped. She called in his phone and picked it, but he could hear her voice due to the Bluetooth connected to with his range. "What happened to me?" Alex asked and Shringar answered, "That is what we want to ask. Where are you? What happened?"
Alex slowly got up and realized the situation he was in at the moment was not in his favor at all. He was being kidnapped during the light flickering moment. He explained his situation to Shringar and with that they all realized that their greatest fear came true. Alex said, "My unauthorized intervention was noticed by the organization and the SH's failure made them change their schedules. At any rate there are more than one terrorists and they had the plan to attack chief Varnika to distract them from the current investigation and also to kidnap me to cancel any further intervention. It can be FZ. At the moment the kidnapper is not here, I am already alone. But they could have just kill me." Shringar explained, "You are a very intelligent hacker. They might need you in their organization." Alex informed that the door of the room is locked and has a huge glass window which is locked as well. There was a female uniform of a janitor on huge dry cleaning box, which shows that the kidnapper used them for kidnapping. Their was even a laptop on the table on the corner. It could only be opened with a password. Alex started, "Life can get dynamic sometimes. I was such a fool. The only thing I needed to do was to leave the matter to the police. Coming here did not solve a single thing. Instead only increased trouble. But they said that they would eliminate Officer Prakash. He saved me…. He is the reason why I am still continuing my studies. I found compassion in his words for me, which I never experienced before, he is like a guardian to me. I could not help myself. My fear and anger got the best of me." Mrs. Konar replied through Shringar's phone, "You were being immature. Dr. Janki told us that you are in your early 20s, which shows that you are a young adult. Sometimes people of your age does such stupidities. But you did it in good will, that is certainly appreciable." Alex told them everything which he heard from Dr. Nitish's mobile. From his real name, to the trials of getting access to muiltiverses. This shocked them and Shringar said, "These people are way more dangerous than I initially anticipated, we can discuss more about it later. First we need to get you out of their Alex." Alex interrupted, "Don't you get it? I will be killed after a few minutes. We will never meet again. This might be our last conversation Shringar so let us just talk until the kidnappers get back." Hearing those hopeless words Shringar and others got upset and Alex got up and walked towards the laptop. He tried pressing a few buttons of the laptop. Shringar could hear the sound of the keyboard and asked out of curiosity, "You are not locked up?" Alex said, "No. Even I am not sure why… But escaping this room is near impossible, so maybe that is why they are not being serious much." Shringar smiled and said, "Do not get your hopes down Alex. This is not the end yet. We will win this inevitable hide-and-seek game which the VeilTus members created for us. We will get you out of their, safe and sound." Alex's eyes widened. He had never heard such a determined tone in someone's voice before in his life. Both Sanskar and Mrs. Konar were also excited after hearing her words in such manner.
"Very well." Alex said with a faint smile on his face. He continued, "At any rate, I need to open this mini laptop for information. It requires a password to open up. I might be able to keep my "Spy-Informer" in it." Mrs. Konar asked, "What is this "Spy-Informer" thing?" "It is a device of mine which works as a spy and gets in any electronic devices, then it turns into an informer who looks like a part of the device but is a betrayer in disguise. If I get to plant it in this mini Laptop then I will be updated about the data in it every now and then." Alex explained. Shringar asked, "Is their any clue to open the laptop?" Alex said, "Yes, it says "Unique Brain" as a clue to open it." Sanskar said, "Is that all? This is such a small clue…" Alex said, "I tried to put some scientists name in it. Einstein, Newton, Marie Curie, but none of them works." Sanskar said, "The clue is not sufficient. Also, it did not specifically ask for any person's name. It can be a species." Alex typed, "Human". It showed error. Then he typed "Homo sapiens" which ended up with an error again. Shringar said after a long thought, "I think I know the answer." Everyone asked for it and she answered, "Boltzmann Brain."
