In a path: Mahindra Thar: 15th July Friday: 10:15: pm:

"Micky, we should have told them to get out of there. Now, when they know that we are kind of safe then what is the need to stay there. Instead, they should get back to our jeeps and go far away from that house."

Peter said. Micky who was continuously moving the walky-talky knob replied unobservantly,

"Peter, if they are capable to capture a goon then I am sure they are also capable to plan their next best step. Don't underestimate the girl power"

"Yeah right, you must be very proud of your little girlfriend."

Cody retorted while tickling Devid playfully who helplessly wriggled with a sound from his tied-up mouth,

“Booo.....oooo.”

“Cod...yyy, can you be serious for a while? You are supposed to keep an eye on him, not to make him your teddy bear.”

Peter begged. In return, got a ‘who cares’ look from Cody.

"But frankly speaking, even I feel proud of the girls. Especially for Nina. Kiddo made me astonished. My delicate, little sis knocked down a goon?"

Billy made a surprised face.

"Shhhhhh.......The device received some frequency."

Micky suddenly whispered. All held their breath.

"Hello.......forest guard surveillance. Hello.....who is there? Hello....!"

A metallic voice was heard.

"Hello......we are lost in the jungle. Need help...Some goons are casing us. Can you get us help from the police force............? We have a lot to tell them. Over........"

Micky said in one go. His eyes were blazing with disquiet. Where others were trying to quell their pounding heart.

"Hello..... this is the forest guard surveillance. Tell us your name and the location......"

The device again croaked.

"Hello.....I am Micky Morgan.... Mr Paul Morgan's son. Please contact commissioner Fredrick.... He knows me very well. We need the help of the police..... There is a racket of arms smugglers.....They are up to something very serious. We have a lot of information to give. But we don't know our exact location.... The compass is showing 78 degrees northwest. Over......"

Micky informed in a nervous tone.

"Okay. We are trying to find you out. But don't change your location. We are informing the police too. Wait for our next instruction. Over..........."

"Okay Sir, but please be fast. The goons can find us out at any moment. We don't have time. Over and Out.........."

Micky uttered for the last time and switched off the device. He turned to the others.

"Alex, stop the car. We have to get down. We can't go any further. Otherwise, the forest guards won't be able to locate our position."

Micky instructed hastily. Alex immediately stopped the engine and made the car stock still.

"But Dude, what about the other goons? They will reach here at any moment and it won't be difficult for them to guess the situation."

Alex sounded edgy.

"We will hide the car in the jungle. It will be perfect to mislead them."

Cody suggested.

"Yeah, this is the best option for now. Come, Peter, we have to clear the path for the entry. Otherwise, this car won’t be able to get into the forest. Come, open the dickey. There must be something to use."

Micky said and opened the door to get down but flinched and clutched his stomach immediately.

"Fuck....this pain. I won't spare that bastard."

He said with a gritted jaw. His abs contorted. Harry’s punch was indeed a vigorous one.

“Nobody of us will. Micky... you stay. I am going with Peter."

Billy said and jumped to get down. As Alex already switched off the headlights, the surroundings again became pitch-black.

"Take this. It will be easy to search."

Micky said and handed over a torch which he took out from the dashboard. The light pinged and flickered to life.

"Hurry up. We don't have much time."

Micky's voice cracked.

In the house: 15th July Friday: 10:15 pm:

"Girls, I think we should leave this place at once. If we get back to our jeeps then it will be easy to escape."

Alisha suggested.

"Yes, eventually we would but before that, we have to do something."

Nina said concernedly.

"What?"

Alisha and Maya asked simultaneously.

"There are still some arms in the room downstairs. Maybe their other consignment stock. We have to do something with them. These are illegal. But we don't know whether the police will ever be able to come here and find them out. Before that, why don't we do something with them that these won't be any better than a piece of metal only?"

All the other girls gazed at Nina for a while. Their eyes gleamed with anticipation.

"You mean we will damage these arms?"

Maya sounded partly sure. Nina bobbed in confirmation.

"But how? We hardly know anything about arms."

Alisha gushed.

"I have an idea."

Natalia said with a mischievous grin.

"There is a pit in the stable with dirty water, right?"

The others bobbed with wide eyes.

"Why don't we throw them into the pit? I heard that firearms got damaged temporarily in contact with water. Moreover, the goons won't guess the place."

There was silence for a second, but in the next moment, Natalia was engulfed in the bear hug of all three.

"Nuts......what a dramatic idea you have given. You really deserve better than that joker Cody."

Maya yelled in delight.

"Sorry, this name only suits on my Codfish's mouth. And I don't mind having this joker in my life."

Natalia said shyly.

"Ohoo.... Codfish's Nuts. Drama queen. Now stop giving these mega serial dialogues and let's execute your plan.

Maya teased her.

"Our plan"

Natalia corrected with a wink.

......................

In the stable: 15th July Friday: 10:30 pm:

"Phew.......! The chest was really heavy, guys. It took a toll on my back."

Maya huffed when bent backwards by placing the hands on her lower back.

"Yup, but at last we did it."

Alisha said with satisfaction while throwing the last pistol into the marshy pit and it disappeared with a ripple.

"All credits go to Nina and Natalia. You both have brains dude unlike the other members of Fusion 4."

Maya teased with a giggle. When Natalia rolled her eyes and countered,

"Oh really? That's why you are dating Billy? A brainless creature! Then I must say you are more brainless than him. Isn't it Nina?"

She demanded a reply but didn't get any word. The surrounding was still pitch-black. However, they got a torch from inside. Natalia roamed the light around but couldn't locate Nina anywhere.

"Nina......"

She again called. This time a bit louder. But again, the words echoed unanswered.

"Wh...e...re is Ni...n.......a"

Maya's shaky words stumbled in their ears.
