Chapter 7

Hredhaan Grover

When we got to the location, there was no one in that street. It looked much like a deserted street where any crime could have been easily done without anyone noticing it. That is the sole reason for the kidnappers to choose this place for their crimes.

There were only three unused buildings which looked mostly damaged on the outer side with dust and rust on it.

But other than that there were only trees everywhere with a road in the middle.

"Hred, is this the right place? Because I can see no one here." Asked one of my teammates from the backseat.

If only I know the exact answer to that question.

"Yes. This is the place according to the information given by the senior." I said, scanning every corner and also trying to listen for any kind of sound.

"But I don't think this is the right place….." He started again but I cut his sentence in the middle when I heard some noise.

"Shhh… Did you listen to that sound?" I asked while getting down from the car slowly by glancing here and there. I can hear some noises at the end of the street where it might be a dead end or only trees because I cannot see any road extending to that side.

Hmmm… Interesting. What a nice place to have a crime scene or some illegal activities. I thought with a hint of humor while smirking to myself.

Senior ordered us to stay low for today and watch the scene without intervining in between to know the depth of the situation and even the seriousness of the case. I have to agree with him on that to some extent because we need to analyse the situation before we jump in with a blindfold. But that doesn't mean that we cannot do some other things like rescuing someone if needed or any kind of distractions.

"Looks like this is going to be a long night for us. Common guys." I said slowly walking in the direction of the sound without making any noise while they were following me behind by being careful and holding the guns in their hands.

Once we reached the place, we divided into two groups and hid behind the two old buildings to get a clear view of the situation without getting noticed by them.

From here I can see that there is a clearing at the back of both the buildings where two gangs were fighting with each other and one person from each group was just standing there not fighting but just observing the scene.

I can even see the car at one side of the gang parked at some distance where the person stood beside it by folding his hands.

This is even more interesting in person than I thought.

I cannot identify any of their faces because of their masks and dresses. One gang wore total black from head to toe by covering their faces and the other wore light blue and green colour dress with a similar mask to them. It looks like they planned to not get discovered by the attire of their dress and masks. So it became difficult for us to identify which gang is the good one and which is the bad one here.

And by the looks of fighting we cannot say who the kidnappers are. We can hear some voices talking but it's not clear from this far. Only their shoutings and grunts can be heard clearly.

But then we heard some female noises which spiked our interest even more. I thought that they are only males fighting but looks like I am wrong again.

"Females? This is kind of getting even more interesting day by day" Mag commented from my back with a hint of excitement in his voice that I nodded my head grinning at him.

"Like this, we won't be able to know who the kidnappers are here" Said Falan with a look of frustration and confusion on his face.

"Yes. But there can always be other ways to find out. Go check if there are any cameras here. Or even any clues to go further." I ordered him while looking at the fighting scene in front of me.

"Done." He said and left the place to check for the cameras. Only if he uses his brain then it would be a lot of benefit for us.

"You know that even if there are cameras, we won't be able to find out any clue right?" Mag asked with a raised eyebrow while looking at me from behind.

"Ya I very well know that. But that idiot cannot use his brain sometimes to understand what I said. But I hope that we can find something that can be helpful for this case." I said looking in front of me where one gang was getting the upper hand in the fight which became interesting to watch now.

The person who was wearing the black dress was kneed in the stomach from the opposite person resulting in him falling down and clutching his stomach in pain which made the one standing at the far from the fight to come forward and fight for his friend.

This person is somewhat lean and was standing at the height of almost 5'8. But what made me curious was how he was gonna fight with that bulk looking guy without getting defeated.

But turns out that my conceptions are wrong again because the moment he went near that bulk guy, he didn't give the chance for him to attack but instead he targeted the left leg and hit it with his leg forcefully by getting down. And then immediately attacking his face by punching it with his left hand and giving a fist blow to his stomach in an instant.

It was already late when the bulk guy realised what had happened because the damage was done by making him fall down from the impact and curling on the ground with pain and grunts.

Good fighting technics there. He could be lean but he got some skills to attack. If he was in our department then he would definitely be one of the good fighters.

"If my instincts are right then I think that there might be something important in that car for him to not move from his place and guard it." I said to Mag while rubbing my jaw with my hand and thinking of the possibility of finding some clue. So I thought of going to the car and see it for myself if we can get any clues.

"Even I am thinking of the same thing. I think we need to look into the car while they are fighting with each other." Mag suggested exactly the same which was running in my brain at the moment. So I nodded my head in agreement.

"Yes. I will go and check if we can get anything in our hands and if I need some help then I will just wave my hand from there so that you can get the hint. Ok?" I asked looking at him to which he nodded in understanding.

So I slowly made a move to the front of the pillar without making any noise to get a better view inside the car from this place.

I cannot see anything inside the car from this far so I glanced behind me to see that they are watching me intently. I also looked at them who are still indulged seriously in the fighting, so I took another few steps and got behind one tree which was somewhat near to the car. From here I can see that someone was sleeping inside the car so without getting noticed I reached the car and glanced inside to see that the children were sleeping unconscious. I immediately got inside without making any noise.

My guess was right and they were four girls lying at the back side of the car unconscious. Looks like they have given some drugs for them to fall asleep. I cannot move all the girls alone safely outside of this scene and I need the help of my teammates.

I waved to my them to get near the car and they obliged without making any noise.

When they reached the car, I opened it slowly and handed over the children to them while I stayed back and searched inside the car to get some kind of clue while they were getting the children out of this scene carefully.

I searched the whole car but I found nothing except for the bag of black dresses which they wore now. Then I glanced at the brand name and it clicked that I had seen it somewhere. So without wasting anytime I picked one of the dresses and got out of the car without making any noise and got back to our car.

I saw that my team had made the children lie on the back seat gently and were talking about something when I reached the car.

I opened the back door of my car and deposited that dress in it and closed it.

"Avinash and Ravi, take the girls to the hospital and check if everything is alright with them." I ordered with a commanding tone while looking at the streets to find any kind of clue.

At the same time Falan came running in our direction while holding some tapes in his hands.

"Hred. I have got some video footage of the scenes." He said taking deep breaths to make his breath normal from all the running.

"They pretty much deleted every footage of this crime but I think we can find something in it because when I was asking questions to some of them, they said that one person would come every month to that old building and just sit there not doing anything." He said looking at us with a serious face that he got our entire attention at the mention of some guy.

"After asking more people I got to know that he used to meet someone here for a minute who used to come and give something to him without saying anything and then goes away like nothing happened in between them. Both of them left in different ways." He said with a somewhat normal voice of his and looking at us while waiting for the further instructions.

"Good. I think we can get a lead here. Just take them to our office and call for some sketcher who can draw the face of the person described. Take help of Priya. She knows the sketchers" I explained to him about his next step and he nodded his head in agreement before leaving with the team.

"Mag, let's go. We need to know who the kidnappers are here" I said walking back in the direction we came a few moments ago without waiting for him because I know that he will follow me anyway.

"Ya. But the black dress gang were pretty badass in fighting them off." Mag commented while joining with me.

"I agree. And especially that lean looking person who was watching the scene from far before attacking that bulk guy." I said with a hint of amusement in my tone.

When we got there, we saw that the black gang were in upper hand and the other gang were fighting weakly against them. So we moved closer to them behind one tree to get a better view of them and also to hear their conversation.

"This is not over. You might have won the fight for today but it won't happen again." Said one of the guys from the blue dress gang while looking at the lean guy. I think that he is the leader of the gang.

"Will see about that." Said the female voice with a lot of sarcasm in her voice. That lean guy was originally a lady but not the guy.

"I am leaving you alive only because you need to give the message to your boss" She said while holding the sword against his neck and gave a slight nod of her head and then in an instant we saw that the rest of the gang sliced the necks of the blue gang without blinking an eye.

Holyshit…

What the fuck??? Female?? That lean person was not male but female??.

And that too the leader of that black gang?? And murdering other people without any remorse in them? Who are the kidnappers and who are the killers here?

We thought that it was just a mere case of kidnapping… But it's a lot more than that...

What is all this happening here?
