Chapter 79

Solemn air prevailed in the room. There was pin-drop silence. Shreya sat on the head of the table as always. But her usual easy-going face was absent today. Instead today, her face seemed tense and extremely stressed. There was a palpable tension in the air that was almost suffocating.

Everyone around just sat there giving her the time to think and digest. The whole gang was present. Akash, Harshad, Pritham, Adam, and Zeenath sat around her. Anand and John were out of the country for business. They have all said and given their own opinions and suggestions and it was now time for Shreya to decide. But there was frustration in every one of them.

Even Pritham who always had a happy-go-lucky attitude looked very infuriated.

They had been trying to get evidence on the heads of the syndicate for 5 months now with no luck. They had many people working for the syndicate got arrested over the period but none of them was able to give anything useful in interrogation.
