Chapter 5 – Broken System
Night.
Rishi apartment me baitha tha.
Dr. Mehra ki baat uske mind me repeat ho rahi thi.
"Your mother's death was not an accident."
Uske haath automatically fist ban gaye.
Agar yeh planned tha…
Toh killer sirf Khanna nahi tha.
System tha.
Arjun's Suspension
Police headquarters.
Inspector Arjun ko officially bulaya gaya.
Conference room me teen senior officers baithe the.
Serious faces.
Ek file table par slide ki gayi.
"Inspector Arjun," senior officer bola,
"you disobeyed transfer orders."
Arjun silent raha.
"You continued investigation on a closed case."
Pause.
"Therefore… you are suspended from duty."
Room silent ho gaya.
Arjun ne bas ek line boli—
"So corruption wins?"
Senior officer ne cold tone me kaha—
"This is not corruption."
Pause.
"This is power."
Secret Contact
Same night.
Rishi ka phone vibrate hua.
Unknown number.
He answered.
"Don't talk. Just listen."
Voice low thi.
Dr. Mehra.
Rishi immediately alert ho gaya.
"Why are you helping me?" Rishi asked.
Silence for two seconds.
"Because twenty years ago… I stayed silent."
Rishi's breathing slowed.
Mehra continued—
"Your mother discovered something."
"What?"
"Organ trafficking."
Rishi froze.
"She was going to expose it."
Room suddenly heavy ho gaya.
"And then?" Rishi whispered.
Mehra's voice almost regretful ho gayi.
"Then the board decided she was a problem."
Rishi's heart pounded.
"Board… ya Singhania?"
Mehra didn't answer.
Silence hi answer tha.
Hidden File
Mehra bola:
"Hospital basement me ek old archive room hai."
"Locked."
"Wahan ek surgery logbook hai."
"Year: 2006."
"Your mother's final operation."
Rishi immediately khada ho gaya.
"Why didn't you tell this before?"
Mehra sighed.
"Because Singhania controls everything."
Pause.
"And because people who dig too deep…"
"…disappear."
New Alliance
Call cut hone ke baad Rishi ne Arjun ko message bheja.
"Basement archive. Tomorrow night."
Reply instantly aaya.
"Suspended ho chuka hoon."
Pause.
Second message:
"Which means I'm free."
Rishi slightly smiled.
Game ab officially illegal ho chuka tha.
Final Scene – Danger Rising
Glass tower office.
Singhania window ke paas khada tha.
Security head report de raha tha.
"Inspector Arjun suspended."
"Good," Singhania calmly bola.
"Doctor Rishi?"
"Still investigating."
Singhania slowly turned.
Eyes cold.
"Curious minds die young."
Pause.
"Prepare phase three."
Security head hesitated.
"You mean… removal?"
Singhania simply nodded.
