Shriya tried to help

Abhi said to Naveen "So check all the CCTV photage of the campus, shopping malls where the girls visited in the past few weeks to a month or so.

Go in reverse, i mean start from today and check the dates backwards, see for any people whom you find suspicious, seemed familiar, or any other details or clues that you might think will be useful for us.

Naveen nodded and told "Abhi, why don't we connect this to the bigger screen. we might find something." he nodded.

Barun also brought the CCTV photage of the neighbouring stores and put them up. They three stayed up that entire night and watched the CCTV photage.

At almost mid night, Abhi found something weird. At the entrance of the mall there are only two Santa Claus and one of them carried a bag in his hands.

When he followed them they entered into a store that is just four stores away from the spa and they entered it and after nearly five minutes they came out but there are three members, i.e., three Santa Claus.

Then they checked the entire photage of the store there are many customers but suddenly a female customer went missing. She has been there for about fifteen minutes strolling leisurely through the racks of the clothes but the girl disappeared all of a sudden into a corner and she was not caught in any camera but there came an extra Santa all of a sudden. She must have used all the blind spots.

Barun said "She must be the person that we must search for and Abhi nodded "So there's a woman involved in this and there might be a chance there are others too".

Both looked at Naveen and he said staring at the woman on the screen "I will search for her". Barun nodded and informed Abhi "Bhai I will put someone to check the entire photage once again just to look for that girl and again another two members for any other clues."

They searched the photage and after a few minutes they were joined by other Santa claus at the entrance of the store and no one understood where they came from.

Barun said to Abhi "Though it's a waste of time to check the registration number plates of the vehicles we will still check them."

With that he patted the man and left from there. Naveen just hugged Abhi and the latter hugged him back and Brahmini who came there after meeting with Gouthami also stood by her man and patted him while Sony held Abhi's hands.

Barun took Sony to her house and Abhi asked Naveen and Brahmini to stay at the Mansion. He wanted her to take care of Gouthami and his mother.

He also asked them not to say anything to Preeti and to stop them from visiting here until Shriya was found. He didn't want the little girl to panic knowing her sister was missing.

Naveen said "I already told dad not to say anything to her and also dodge her questions if she asked about her sister saying we are having exams and busy with shopping and stuff" Abhi nodded his head and also said a quick thank you.

Shriya sat on the bed and tried to remember everything that happened. She was tried all day with shopping and stuff. They were so immersed that she didn't get to think of any other matters.

She didn't even go to the washroom the entire day and after lunch when Brahmini and Sony went she was busy talking on phone with her sister Preeti.

So as soon as they entered the spa she decided to go to a restroom. But they didn't get any VVIP rooms and they had to wait. When she saw her both friends enter the rooms, she walked into the washroom in the spa.

After she was done, she came out and saw a girl weeping silently standing in front of the mirror. She observed the girl for a few minutes, but she didn't want to involve herself in other's matters and Abhi advised her many times not to befriend strangers or talk to them.
