Chapter 71 - Zeenat.. we have her

" Sir I enquired in her village. She is not there. She went there though. There was a child.. Ummm a boy" , said Bhiku.

Zeeshaan was with his informer again.

" A boy", he asked. " When was this and how old is this news"?

" Four years. The boy was a newborn ", he said.

" This complicates things", mused Zeeshaan. " Anything on Kunal Singhania?

"Though Mr. Singhania adopted him from Ramneeklal orphanage he lived in a charity church for a few years. It is in a village called Darani. Daman", replied Bhiku.

" Did he go there"?

" No", was the informer's answer. " People knew him there though".

" Hmmm keep digging. Now take this photograph", Zeeshaan pulled out a cctv footage of a four year old.

" His name is Sam. He lives with his mother Grace in a hotel quarter. There is something fishy about.. Not maybe him but definitely his mother".

" Bhiku asked,

" What do you want me to find sir"?

" Anything about Grace. Her entire background. Here is a photograph", replied Zeeshaan.

" She looks pretty young to be a mother", mused Bhiku.

Zeeshaan nodded.

" Hmm that's what is fishy. Find out", he said

" Okay".

He left.

Meanwhile

Dragon and Manya were looking at the cctv footage of the attack.

" Yes that theatre lad is right", said Manya.

" Madam is about a feet away They were here for the boy", he said.

" But he is a nobody. That is what irks me", said Dragon. " Did he witness something he shouldn't "?

" The background is fishy".

Dragon turned. It was Zeeshaan.

" Qureshi", he waved.

" Dragon ", Zeeshu saluted.

" What's fishy", asked Dragon.

" The mother for sure", he said. " Looks 18. And I don't know this kid here reminds me of someone ".

" Who"?

" Nope can't put my finger on it", said Zeeshaan.

" Okay".

Then Zeeshaan told him about Kunal, Zeenat and the boy.

" Damn" , said Sumeet. " So we have an heir". " And that is why he attacked my wife and child".

His eyes hardened.

" A CHILD FOR A CHILD", he said and smiled dangerously.

" Hold this news from my father. I will kill the child. Singhania will only have a child of my blood".

He looked like satan himself.

Though they disagreed Zeeshaan Or Manya had no nerve to stop him or disobey him.

At the Resort

" Sammy didn't come today", said Chanchal sadly.

" The boy was probably shaken", said Rash.

They decided to carry on with the vacation.

Kash was quiet. Dragon called him. Zeeshaan had told him what Kash overheard.

" Don't let my wife know. I assure of the child's safety but she should be out of danger".

" It's better if he rests", he said to them.

" Kids are resilient. He will come out of it."

Both the girls agreed.

He thought they forgot about him but Chanchal thought of meeting him somehow later. She will ask her husband she thought.

Later

Shaun arrived for a checkup of Chanchal. Dragon has ordered it.

" For safety I shall take the vitals of all three of you", he said.

They all agreed.

" I must thank you Kash for saving these two", he said.

" Yeah I literally froze", said Rash. " Chi Chi guess they still are targeting you".

Both the men kept their mouth shut about it. If the girls find that Sam was the target Chi Chi will panic and Rash will be the blood hound in finding the reason and worse the goons behind it.

Silence is golden

Meanwhile

Jeet was still busy finding the mysteries of Sumeet's diary.

" Mangal Bhavan", he mused. " Is it some kind of a lodging or hotel"?

" Found none", said Guru. " The number is Kunal's you say. Could he have stayed there for some reason or other?

" No idea", said Jeet. " Dad recognised this number. What about others"?

" Not phone numbers ", he replied.

Suddenly he took a call..

" Eagle is here", he said.

A swift knock at the door followed.

" Get in", commanded Jeet.

Viru came in.

" You called me", he said.

" Sit down and take a look", said Jeet giving him Sumeet's diary.

Viru looked at it for sometime.

" Hmmm", he said. " Numbers.. Puzzle "

" For sure", relieed Jeet. " But not this name".

" FALCON ", Eagle said stunned by the name.

" Sumeet appointed him", said Guru looking at Viru.

" Yeah"..

" He found something. He told father he wished to talk to him. This is the reason he could be.. "Jeet's voice turned heavy.

" Not could be CM but for sure", Viru's voice was hard.

" You sure", asked Guru.

" Falcon a. k. a. Rahul Kulkarni. Hand selected by Sumeet sir. I trained him. He went undercover for his last mission. He was killed in that mission" said Viru.

" What was that mission ", Jeet's voice was now devoid of any emotions.

" Some high level documents in military were compromised. An attack occurred and our people died", replied Eagle.

" Panther was given the responsibility of eliminating infiltrants and Falcon was searching the people behind leakage", said Eagle.

" Whom did he report to", asked Jeet.

" Sumeet sir", replied Eagle.

" Get me the numbers of files that were compromised. Guru now we are on the right track", said Jeet. " He found something and someone got scared enough to look him as a threat".

Meanwhile

" She frequents the church a lot and the hospital too", said Bhiku to Zeeshaan.

" And", he raised a brow.

" I got her records", he said. " Terminal cancer. Just months to live".

" She looks too young and I don't know maybe a bit healthy to die", said Zeeshaan.

" I saw her at a dargah the other day", said Bhiku.

" Which one", he asked.

" The one close to that big masjid. The child was with her. And she talked to the caretaker there. You can talk to him if you want", said Bhiku.

Next day

Both of them followed Grace to the dargah. The boy was with her. After they left Bhiku cornered the caretaker.

" I am Dragon's man. If you want to live answer my questions correctly ", Zeeshaan said.

" I have kids sir. I will answer them all", he said the man trembling in fear

" That girl who was just here", asked Zeeshaan as Bhiku showed her photograph

" That is Muskan from my village ", said the man.

" Muskan", Zeeshaan raised a brow. " And the boy"?

" Her nephew ", he said. " Sameer".

Zeeshaan was in a dee thought.

" Which village are you from", he asked.

" Dhule".

A small smile crept on Zeeshaan's face.

" Bhiku I need some information by night. Be discreet. Go to Dhule now and..... "

After Zeeshaan gave him instructions he went in for the kill.

Night time

Dragon was having an emergency meeting with his lieutenants. Zeeshaan requested it

And a smiling Zeeshaan was last to arrive

One look at his face and Dragon realisef

" You have news".

" Zeenat" , smirked Zeeshaan. " We have her. "
