Palace among Mountains

 

I think, the title of this chapter describes the place clearly. If you have been there then you’d realize how beautiful yet calm that place is. It’s basically for everyone. For young enthusiasts, there is a trekking expedition. For people who like to spend time alone there are a lot of other things but for now the place is a crime scene for Rajveer Shikhawat which could also give him important evidences.

I went there to get the slang and it was Samar who had seen me. I told him it’s nothing but he wanted to see. He saw that and threatened to tell the principal about it. I was also scared because I knew that any more complaints to the principal could lead me in trouble. I threatened him that if he did so then I’d kill him.

This was the dream seen by Vivaan at the same time but in Delhi. At the same time Rajveer was at Dharamshala and was going place to place in search of the location of a rave party. This rave thing was by his gut feeling. He had already known that the students had come here last year. And he also knew that these boys were involved in all kinds of illegal stuff.

For obvious reasons a drug dealing in a rave party was somewhere in Rajveer’s mind so he decided to track a location of a rave in Dharamshala. These rave parties are very private. No one apart from the ones who are going to be present there are aware of the actual location. This is because the police are always on track of such parties as they involve drugs. The location of such parties is not disclosed till a few hours are left for the party to begin.

Rajveer had a few contacts in Dharamshala so he met some of them and directly found the location of a rave that was happening that night in some outer parts of the city.

Now, these rave parties don’t need any description. But without one, they seem like nothing big. Neon lights all over, masked people wearing neon bracelets and chains. Deep House Music to take over your senses. And drugs of course, to make you groove more even with the worst of the music. Here, you can find all kinds of drugs, be it ecstasy, GHB, meth, coke and what not. Pricing tells what works better for you.

Rajveer had got entry to one such party. It also had a loud music. A very loud one. There were people tripping over drugs everywhere. Rajveer saw two policemen also present but he thought not to focus on them but to find the dealer there. Soon, he found him. All guarded with two bodyguards, he was a man of good physique with toned muscles. And soon, he was quite familiar with the drug dealer. He asked whether he remembered one such party organized on the 31st Dec.

He gave the entire account to Rajveer. That night the only thing everyone remembers fondly was the rift between Samar and Vivaan in which Vivaan threatens to kill him.

“But it didn’t really seem like he would kill him really because he had just said to stop him from doing something which he was going to do in the near future”, the dealer said.
