A week had passed since the intense battle at Zenith Mall. Maya Joshi convened another meeting with Game Yadav,Pinky Sharma, Irrfan Khan, Koro Das, and Afrin Ansari. As the group assembled, Maya addressed them with a tone of apologetic urgency.
Maya Joshi: "I'm sorry you all had to be called into another meeting. The Indian Hunter Association insisted I hold this discussion. This time, there won't be any missions. I've been asked to have a conversation with you."
Game Yadav: "Why should we talk to you? We're out there getting beaten, and now you're commanding us around inside the room. Why don't you come with us during the fight?"
Irrfan Khan: "I never get angry, but today I am. The Indian Hunter Association should have gathered information about Psycho, but they didn't. Oh, sorry, Maya Joshi, it was your responsibility. You should have researched him earlier, but you didn't. If we report this, you might lose your job."
Maya Joshi: "What was I supposed to do? I didn't know he was so strong. You all are supposedly the top five, yet you lost to him. Are you blaming me for your defeat? Oh, sorry, you're top five in name only. There are stronger hunters in the Indian Hunter Association."
Koro Das: "Fine, but why didn't you call those stronger hunters? Why did you call us? We could have died in that fight. Think about it—if we had died, what would you have done? You'd have given money to our families and moved on."
Maya Joshi: "You're right, it's my fault. But look at how badly you fought. Afrin Ansari was knocked down, which was understandable given her age. But Pinky Sharma did even worse. After that, everyone was knocked down, and no one's talking about it. Your first mistake was attacking him without trying to talk first. What do you think the news will say? India's top five lost to a random guy."
Pinky Sharma stepped in to defuse the situation.
Pinky Sharma. "Okay, it was your mistake, and it was our mistake too. It's over. Let's not argue anymore."
Maya Joshi: "This girl understands me. You guys don't."
Afrin Ansari: "What's done is done. We need to focus on moving forward."
Pinky Sharma: "This healing potion is very different."
Afrin Ansari: "How so?"
Koro Das: "A normal healing potion takes about 10 seconds to work, but this one heals us within one second."
Pinky Sharma: "And he gave me two healing potions and a letter saying, 'Sorry Pinky Sharma, I have hurt you too much. Here are two healing potions from me, and I'm a big fan.' I drank one and sent the other to the laboratory. I also got a piece of his hair from Zenith Mall and sent it for analysis. With this, we can figure out who he is."
Maya Joshi: "If I were a man, I'd marry you. You're incredibly smart."
Game Yadav: "Okay, so you got the healing potion, but why didn't I get one? Why didn't the psycho give it to me? What enmity does he have with me? This is about Pinky's fans."
Pinky Sharma: "Maybe he just didn't like you."
Game Yadav: "What's that supposed to mean? Why should he have a problem with me? We're all in this together."
Pinky Sharma: "It's just the way it is."
A heated exchange quickly escalated between Game Yadav and Pinky Sharma.
Game Yadav: "Why are you mocking me, Pinky? I'm not in the mood for jokes."
Pinky Sharma: "I'm not mocking you. I'm just saying what I think."
Game Yadav: "You're the one who's making light of the situation."
Pinky Sharma: "Maybe if you performed better, there wouldn't be anything to mock."
Game Yadav: "Last warning—stop mocking me."
Pinky Sharma: "Oh, come on. Grow a thicker skin."
Game Yadav: "Don't push me. I've had enough."
Pinky Sharma: "Maya Joshi, next time, give me the captaincy. Because no work can be done well by Game Yadav."
Game Rajput: "Are you serious? You think you can do a better job? Prove it."
Pinky Sharma: "Maybe I will."
Game Yadav: "Bring it on."
Maya Joshi: "Alright, enough. Both of you, stop this nonsense. We have more important things to discuss."
The argument between Pinky Sharma and Game Yadav simmered down as Maya Joshi stepped in to restore order. The meeting ended with unresolved tensions but a shared commitment to uncovering the identity of the mysterious Psycho. As the team prepared for their next moves, the air was thick with anticipation and unresolved conflict.
