Chapter 49 - A hit was ordered on Malti

Next Morning

10A.M.

" The police are still investigating the shootout that killed top administration and government official Devas Raghuvanshi", a media channel reported.

" The chief minister is in talks with the top police and armed forces officials".

Jeet watched the news with a stoic face. The meeting was over. And he and Guru were waiting for their security. They were about to head to meet Mustafa.

" Was it necessary", asked Guru.

" Yeah we could have never brought him to justice and he was selling the strategic information ", replied Jeet.

" Deepak won't be happy", Guru referred to the prime minister.

Jeet sighed.

" He is not. He called me in the morning. But I got to take tough decisions. Deepak knows that the b*stard was submerged in selling country's top strategic information ".

" Yet he gets a state funeral like that of a hero", sneered Guru.

" Life", shrugged Jeet. " Guru get Viru on that Banerjee case. I want that man. He is been eluding us. One of Devas's link got him again".

Banerjee was a certified Naxal terrorist.

" Roger that", said Guru.

The security arrived promptly and the chief minister headed straight to the cental jail.

Kash's house

" Trust you to select the life threatening work when presented with options", said Chi Chi angrily to Rash.

" Its not life threatening ", argued Rash.

" Yeah a killer on loose and a vengeful mafia dolly ice creams for you", hissed Chi Chi.

" B*tch please have something to eat before you fall ill. Your hubby tells me you took off without breakfast", Kash admonished Chi Chi.

" WHAT", Rash got angry.

" I.I.y.you I need..to see y.you. H.hurry", Chanchal shrugged.

" Okay Kash I am cooking get me bread and cucumber. Butter and mayonaisse too. Rash washed her hands, wore an apron and after arranging all her ingredients started breakfast.

" I'll make juice", said Kash.

" Y.you b.both are n.not taking t.this seriously", said Chanchal.

" Look you fool. Sit there and eat", said Kash like an elder. " You go and marry a mafia. Didn't I tell you not to do it. Now we are taking care of you and full stop. Dangers fine we will tackle together".

" That's correct", said Rash.

Over the breakfast she let them know her findings.

" First hit was on Malti, second on dragon and third on you", said Rash.

" Rash I don't think all this was for an illegitimate affair", said Chi Chi sipping her juice.

" IT WAS FOR THE THRONE", said Rash.

" The throne of the underworld ".

Central Jail

" The chief minister is here to meet you on the government official shoot out", said the jailer. " Try to be respectful ".

" I reserve that decision", smiled the man. He had left crime world and was serving a life sentence.

BUT ONLY POLICE PERSONNEL RETIRES. ONCE A CRIMINAL ALWAYS A CRIMINAL.

Ranjeet and Guru entered the area surrounded by security. With a solemn face Jeet sat opposite the middle aged man.

" I want answers", he said in a dangerous voice. " And I want truth".

Mustafa looked around completely unfazed by him.

" The walls of prison have ears", he smiled deviously. " The big ones"...Then making a hand gesture he said..

" Sssshhhh"!!

" Security wait outside", commanded Jeet.

" Sir the protocols", said the head security.

" F*ck the protocols", roared Jeet. " I rose to a lieutenant colonel in the army. If I can't defend myself how the hell will I serve my country. Out now".

They saluted and left. It was a direct order from their senior.

After everyone left Jeet walked to Mustafa.

" I need you to start talking", he ordered

" I don't bow down to Government dogs", hissed Mustafa. Then smiling he bowed said,

" You put up a good show Dragon. Think you fooled me".

He started whistling.

Jeet chuckled.

" The show was not for you. And last I heard you wished to see me", he said.

" You became the chief minister", said Mustafa. " Heaven's save us now".

Guru chuckled.

" KUNAL SINGHANIA ", Jeet was serious now.

" A moron", said Mustafa. " The only saving grace the blood running in his veins".

" You knew", said Guru.

" Yeah your daddy did a DNA test. The whole underworld knew", said Mustafa. " Why else would they accept a bumbling fool like him"?

" So he killed his wife", asked Jeet.

Mustafa was silent for sometime then he spoke.

" A hit was ordered on Malti Singhania . Yes.".

" So Kunal was involved ", said Guru.

" Involved yes. In what way? Can't say", said Mustafa. "But the hit was not ordered by him. That hot blooded w*nch of his did it".

" Zeenat. You sure", said Jeet.

" Look at the situation dragon. A mistress. A wife that makes you the king. What would you choose"?

" What about the child", asked Jeet.

" If Kunal Singhania wanted it no w*nch was powerful enough to stop him".

" You said he is a moron", argued Jeet.

" The pattern doesn't add up", said Mustafa.

" The pattern", Guru raised a brow.

" Malti is dead. He is giving an heir to his father. He can easily dispose the w*nch and with an heir in his pocket he sits on that throne. Why did he run away?"

" Fearing me", said the dragon.

" You never cared for the girl", Mustafa brushed off. " Neither are you her brother. Hell you would not even care for someone you have a blood relation with. So what is this about dragon"?

" Sumeet's dead", Jeet confessed.

" A loss", Mustafa mourned. " I get you", he nodded. " I am in".

" Sheetal Kapoor", said Jeet.

Mustafa waved a hand.

" Low grade assasin ", he dismissed.

" I need the mastermind", said Jeet.

Mustafa nodded.

" Give me a few days. Find out the orphanage Kunal was in before your dad adopted him", he said.

Meanwhile

" Its Sheetal", said Chi Chi looking at the escape she made on her wedding day.

" She changed", noticed Kash. " And removed make up too".

Chanchal looked keenly at the screen. Rash let her. She wished to find out from her observations.

"Can you Zoom in", she said.

Rash immediately did.

" She carried a small bag with her. Its unbranded", said Chi Chi. " Unusual for her. It would hurt her vanity if she carried a non branded purse".

" Probably she forgot as dragon would be breathing fire on her", said Kash making a face at the disgusting purse. 😖

" She had time to change, remove make up and forgot purse. Hell not. This was deliberate ", said Chi Chi.

" Is the weapon inside this", speculated Kash.

Rash shook her head. " Shape doesn't match. Hey she never got that weapon out. Dragon locked the place. The weapon is still inside Revathi house. Bingo Chi Chi".

" Wait for Bingo Rash. This purse is hand stitched. That too in hurry. Now my b*tch of a sister couldn't use a needle to save her life. Someone did this for her and her is the reason. Zoom on it", she said.

As Rash zoomed all three of them watched with stunned faces.

Stiched in the purse were..

Diamonds from a collection as rare as uranium and worth millions.

" You can have you Bingo", said Chi Chi. "This was her payment for shooting the dragon".
