Chapter 16 – The Extraction Attempt
Late night.
Hospital se wapas aane ke baad Rishi finally apne clinic apartment me aaya.
Mind overloaded.
One truth baar-baar repeat ho raha tha—
"I was always part of this."
Host.
Childhood secret.
Mother's protection.
Sab kuch ab connect ho raha tha.
The Silence
City unusually quiet thi.
Rain bhi ruk chuki thi.
Rishi mirror ke saamne khada tha.
Usne apni reflection dekhi…
Aur ek second ke liye—
Uske neck ke paas faint Aurora symbol glow hua.
Phir normal.
Rishi whispered:
"It's starting…"
Outside the Building
Same moment.
Black van silently clinic ke bahar rukti hai.
No lights.
No sound.
Door khulta hai.
Four tactical figures bahar aate hain.
Face masks.
Precision movement.
Military-level.
The Team
Leader ne earpiece me slowly bola:
"Target confirmed. Host is inside."
Second voice reply:
"No damage. He must stay viable."
Rishi = target.
Alive.
Unharmed.
Needed.
First Sign
Andar clinic me—
Rishi ko achanak cold pulse feel hota hai.
Not ghost.
Not vision.
Real danger.
Uski instincts instantly alert ho gayi.
He whispered:
"Someone's here."
Break-In
Next second—
Window glass silently cut hota hai.
Ek dart andar fire hota hai.
Rishi quickly side step karta hai.
Dart wall me lagta hai.
Sedative.
Rishi ka heartbeat fast.
"Kidnapping…"
Chase
Rishi back door se nikalne ki koshish karta hai.
But corridor me already do masked figures khade the.
One of them calmly bola:
"Dr. Rishi."
Pause.
"Come with us."
Rishi cold tone me:
"No."
Fight
Ek attacker uski taraf rush karta hai.
Rishi doctor hai, fighter nahi…
But Season 3 ne usse change kar diya tha.
He dodged.
Nearby tray se metal stand uthaya.
Impact.
Ek attacker down.
But baaki teen still active.
The Pulse 👻
Suddenly—
Rishi ke head me sharp pulse aaya.
Aur ek strange instinct activated hui.
Usse un attackers ke next moves pehle se feel hone lage.
Left strike.
Back step.
Dart shot.
Sab predict.
Rishi shocked.
"Host reflex…"
Escape Window
Rishi emergency stairs ki taraf bhaaga.
Phone nikal kar Arjun ko call.
"Arjun— they're here!"
Arjun instantly:
"Stay inside. I'm coming."
Final Scene 😈
Rooftop.
Rishi finally top par pahunchta hai.
Wind strong.
But…
Wahan already ek helicopter hover kar raha tha.
Door open.
Inside ek masked woman baithi thi.
Cold voice:
"Prague awaits, Doctor."
Rishi freeze ho gaya.
Trap complete.
