Qamil and his Subordinates

 

The day was finally over for both Rajveer and Arun. And it had already begun for someone else, somewhere else.

Irfaan Qamil, the infamous man, is in his residence, an undisclosed location is talking to his men. He is sure of his next step, but doesn’t really seem convinced. A drop of sweat is still on his forehead. This change of place is cumbersome. And at the same time, is necessary also. But he doesn’t like it. And he is frustrated also, because of this.

“Your honor, I would only like to say that the police investigations are not questionable and they are very clearly proving that Irfaan Qamil, here, is worthy of the crime the court is accusing him of and there are no two ways about it”, said Rajveer, five years back which eventually led to Qamil being arrested and given an imprisonment of seven years. Following which, he did spend two years but got out of it with ease. Was that actually easy?

No. it wasn’t.

Rajveer had been on his track since then. He had been following him wherever he has been shifting and has been taking him to court and putting him back in jail really soon. But after two or three proceedings, he was also unable to do much as Irfaan had been playing his mind in these courts. Changing papers, faking documentation showing him as completing the period of imprisonment and threatening the judges had been easy for him.

Now, in Vivaan’s case also, since Rajveer has got to know his involvement, he doesn’t want to miss a chance to prove him guilty.

“But if we kill him, then there will be another problem and this one would be a bigger one, sir. The media would be after us, the courts will unite, and people can also organize marches against us! Which could be devastating!” said a boy who has been with Qamil since long. He seems to be scared and at the same time is wise when he prevents Qamil from doing any such thing.

“Sir, the change of places is only temporary, and it is for good only. If we stop at one place, then it will be easy for Rajveer to have an eye on us”, said another.

The experienced one spoke up then, “I don’t know what he can do or what he cannot. I only know that if we stop moving then I can get a sigh of relief in one place at least. And are we falling short of men to guard the place where I live? No right? So from today the order for you all is to find a place which almost no one is aware of and shift to there as soon as you ready for it.”

They nodded yes then. And then started looking for a better place. Irfaan wiped his forehead and went asleep.

Next morning was clear, with the weather also and with his further plan.

He came downstairs to see four boys waiting to see him. And they don’t need identification.

Everything was clear. The four boys and Irfaan were there to discuss further steps. How they would shape the case, how and what will be the further accusations that they were going to put on Vivaan in future dates.

“You just don’t worry, Albert and I have decided on every step and how we’ll go about the accusations. You all just need to mould yourself the way we want you to and you will not be in trouble anymore”. It’s hot outside and humid as well.

After the meeting, the four best ones are walking out as quickly as possible and then, get into Irfaan’s car and the car takes speed and leaves the locality.

Someone, from a close observation, is talking over the phone. He is actually whispering.

“Sir, you were right, Irfaan is making some plans with the four boys” said a man standing not so far from Irfaan’s hiding place. He was one of Rajveer’s “detectives”.

Rajveer had him following Qamil since long. And he has always been a good choice. This time too, he was good until now.

“Okay, you be out really son now, else he might sense you there” was the reply.

A gunshot was heard few seconds later. The dead body was taken away and was hidden somewhere deep.

Qamil was the one who took the shot. He took the wireless from the dead and after tuning it, said, “I think now you wouldn’t ever try to have an eye on me right?”

Rajveer was shocked. He was sweating faster for the next two seconds and became normal soon. He wanted to but didn’t speak anything in reply. He was very much aware of what Irfaan would do next. Irfaan on the other hand, thought that the actual plan died with the detective and proceeded unaware of Rajveer’ knowledge to meet someone with an ability.

“Listen, Vivaan. I know I seem to be going against you in the court. But that’s a part of our plan as you know” Irfaan said.

“I know but you are completely on their side and this gives me a bad feeling about you”. He looked worried and scared.

“All I can say to you is trust me. Let me tell you all further accusations that they will be putting on you, so that you can tell A.K. and be on the upper edge in the next date”.

Vivaan was now sure. He was sure about this one thing. This thing, which he has been having a doubt about since very long. But now it seems clearer. With a clearer perspective. That on his side is no one except his father and A.K. Sharma. Irfaan is definitely on the other side, he thinks to himself.

This time, Rajveer was smart. He knew something, really important. And thanks to the now dead detective associated with Rajveer, who told him so. He knew that Irfaan will never take the risk to kill Rajveer or any of his associates in his presence. So Rajveer used his brain and went to the location where he was with Vivaan and caught him red-handed. Since he had two of his men and one was having a camera to seem like a journalist, Irfaan couldn’t do much to get away and was arrested at that very moment.

There was something more awaiting in the next hearing.
