15 Cautiousness
Part 15 Cautiousness
"Why should not we appeal for a shooting order?" Arnav asked.
Khushi and Aman were dumbfounded.
"Shooting order?" Aman asked.
"Why? Didn't you expect me to ask you to appeal for it?"
"I thought you would have a little soft corner for him," Aman said without hesitating.
"Soft Corner? He is a serial killer more than my brother. Will you show mercy to the poisonous snack that's about to bite your loved one?"
"I understand that..."
"No Aman, Aarav is more dangerous than I thought. His character is getting worse."
"Can't we treat him?"
"Do you think he was not subjected to the treatment? He was under treatment for more than a year. Yet, there was no use because he didn't cooperate. He didn't want to... that was why he escaped prison. We could have cured him if we had found his deficiency earlier but now, it's too late. He became a monster. The girls killed by him are the proof. If we want no more girl to die, he should die. we have no choice."
"I thought you would try to use his deficiency in his favor because he is a somewhat mentally disordered patient. So, he can't be punished. Law will favor him"
"That's why I want to get a shooting order before the department learns about his deficiency. He should not get a chance. He will use it to escape and continue spoiling girl's life..."
"Are you scared, ASR?"
"Yes, I'm scared... because he had seen Khushi. She would be occupying his mind now. He would be thinking about only her. He would try to connect dots because Khushi seeded doubt in his mind"
"Me? in what means?" Khushi questioned.
"What do you think? Do you think you confused him?"
Khushi nodded yes slightly.
"No, you have given him a hint... solid hint"
"What's that?"
"You said, you thought he was someone who you knew and he was in Scotland"
Khushi nodded yes.
"That means, the someone is ME... if he resembled me, that means, you identified him. We published my photo to find him. What does that mean?"
Khushi and Aman were horrified as they understood the complication.
"You identified the KILLER. So, leaving you is a risk for him"
Khushi nodded yes thoughtfully.
"And, more than that, the police rounded up the Sarojini Market area. So, it would not have given him good vibes. You would have come into his mind first because you daringly told him that he looked like me"
Khushi sighed. Aman looked at her nervously and said,
"Be careful, Khushi"
Khushi nodded.
"Words are not enough to protect her..." Said Arnav.
"What's the plan?" Aman asked directly.
Arnav walked to his room. Aman and Khushi spared a glance. Within a few minutes, Arnav came out. He gave some things to Khushi. She frowned to see the things he gave her. Pens, pendants, and bangle and bands...!
Khushi looked at him questioningly. Without minding about her look, he wore the bangle in her hand.
"Remove your chain"
Khushi removed her chain. Arnav added the pendent to her chain and gave it to her.
"Now, you can wear it"
Khushi wore it around her neck.
"Keep the pen in your pocket"
"Mind you tell me what's all this for?" Khushi asked.
Taking his mobile, Arnav did something in that. He turned the phone screen towards them. They raised their brows amazed as they saw Arnav was showing them the phone on the screen, lively.
"How it is possible?"
"It's not a pendant but a camera," Arnav said.
"Is it?" Khushi's hand automatically touched the pendant.
"Don't remove it. We will follow you wherever you go"
Khushi raised her hand and looked at the bangle.
"What about this?"
"It's a tracking device... We will be connected through these devices. We will watch the other two" Arnav gave a pendant, pen, and band to Aman also.
"ASR, why me? is not it enough if you are connected with Khushi?"
"We should be wise, Aman. He may attack one of us too... That's why we should be prepared"
"What about the pen?" Khushi asked.
Arnav took it from her and pointed at a flower vase. The next second the flower vase was broken into pieces. Khushi and Aman looked at the pen thunderstruck.
"This is a gun... we can finish anyone without making noise," Arnav said without any expression on his face.
Aman and Khushi looked at him horrified.
"Gun?"
Arnav nodded yes simply. Khushi looked at the pen gulping down.
"You can fire twelve times..." Arnav added.
"But, ASR, I have a gun... I'm an inspector..."
"If you get caught, they will snatch your phone and gun immediately but they won't mind the pen. So you can play with it"
Aman nodded yes.
"I saw these kinds of things only in James Bond movies..." Khushi said.
"Yeah, I too never thought I would see such things in real" Aman huffed.
Arnav was silent.
"By the way, ASR, you are a criminology professor. How do you get such things?"
"I brought them to show you," Arnav said coolly.
Aman pressed his lips.
"I know you guys would not have seen them. I know you would be excited if you saw them. That's why I brought them"
"But you didn't show them to us...?"
"I wanted to do it on the alumni function itself but I was in some other tension," he said, smiling at Khushi.
"After that, the serial killer tension" he sighed.
"Tension and you?" Aman asked.
"Am I not?"
Aman rolled his eyes.
"Why?"
"I have not seen something called tension in your face" Aman said.
"Just because I don't show it, it doesn't mean I'm not tensed"
"If you are tensed, the problem must more severe than I thought..." Aman said.
"Undoubtedly... don't be careless. You should not leave home without the devices..."
Aman and Khushi nodded ok.
"I and Khushi are going to meet Nani tomorrow," Arnav said.
"Is it?"
Khushi nodded yes.
"Ok, enjoy..." Aman smiled.
.......
Aarav was sitting in a house located in a middle-class area of Delhi. It was one of his partners in crime at Rakesh's house. When Rakesh was in jail, the area people thought he went to Saudi. He created such an image in that area, using his area friends. So that, he could freely roam around Delhi. That favored Aarav.
Rakesh saw Aarav thinking something deep.
"What are you thinking, buddy?"
"I'm thinking about the girl I met in the supermarket"
"Girl? Who is she? Is she our next prey?"
Aarav nodded clear-cut.
"Then, who is she?"
"She said I resembled someone who she knows"
"So?"
"I too know that someone"
"Who is he?"
"My brother..."
"Do you have a brother?"
"Mmm"
"Does he look like you?"
"Ditto... he is my twin"
"Is it?"
"Yes..."
"That means, she found your real face"
Aarav nodded yes.
"That means, we are in danger?"
"Kind of... but I'm not sure"
"Why?"
"I think she didn't know about the serial killer"
"How do you say?"
"There was no fear in her face. She scolded me thinking that I was my brother"
"Whaat? Did she scold you? For what?"
"I think they have a problem within them. She looked angry"
"Ok... but, how did she conclude you are not him?"
"That's what I don't know."
"Didn't you ask her?"
"I asked her but she didn't answer. At the same time, the police jeep came there. So, I silently left the place before the cops saw me"
"Thank God..."
"I want to search for her"
"But why?"
"I want to know how she is related to my brother"
"What do you do knowing that? It will lead us into trouble. We should leave Delhi before the police smell us"
"We will get caught if we try to leave Delhi because the police would have tightened all the check posts and the tollbooths. So, we should be hidden for a few days"
"Thank God, I thought you would go searching for the girl"
"I will surely go but not right away," Aarav said firmly.
