[VIPUL ON A PHONE CALL]
Vipul: Did you find anything? Mishra said that they have received the file from him.
Storyteller: Your plan has worked, We have their location and you won't believe what I found.
Vipul: What?
S: That someone who has the data is trading it, He is going to sell the data to someone. And they are going to meet today, I will message you once I know the details of the meet. How is Samidha?
Vipul: She is fine, she lost some blood but now she is fine. Doctors are taking care and my sister is here so she will take care of her. So when are you abducting me?

[PHONE HANGS UP]
3 HOURS LATER
Vipul gets a call from Storyteller.
Vipul: Did you get any details?
Storyteller: I will send you location and be there sharp at 21:00 hrs. At the same time, I will escort Mishra's family to safe location.
V: What's the plan?
S: You will have to look for person in black suit, that is the guy selling the data. You have to eliminate him before he meets anyone. Or another plan is he meets the buyer and trades the data, you will have to follow the seller to eliminate him, and one my friend will eliminate the buyer. So data will be safe.
V: Plan B is better but eliminate means you mean to catch or..?
S: You can't catch them, but you can kill.
V: No, I can't do this, We can get help from intelligence or police. What if I get caught in this?
S: You won't, trust me. I will handle everything later. But now you have to do this. It's our only chance.
V: If I am doing everything, Why do you even call yourself Storyteller?
S: I am saving Mishra's Family. And you also. Don't worry. You will come to know tomorrow that why I call myself Storyteller. All the best.
V: Go to hell.

[SPLASHING WATER ON VIPUL'S FACE]
Vipul: Don't kill me, don't shoot me please.
Storyteller: Relax! I am storyteller, have some water first
V: How are you here? And where is he?
S: Who? What happened? Just tell me in detail.
V: As per plan, I went there and I found the man in suit. He exchanged briefcase with someone. And I kept following him. It looked like a movie scene, until he called my name. He called me and told me to sit in his car. I kept my I mean your pistol in front pocket of my suit. He brought me here. We climbed the stairs. He didn't force me anywhere. And then I was surprised to see A. K. Rao, ex-Joint Cipher Bureau officer. He was behind all this. He tried to convince me to get into his side. He wanted me to decrypt some data for him. I don't know where he found it from. I was waiting for your message that Mishra's family is safe, As the phone vibrated I knew it was you. Because I had carried only the phone you had given to me. I denied to co-operate him. He told me, it won't change anything, there will be still bad things happening in this country. Only I will be losing a chance to be rich. He was dealing sensitive data, selling our country's secrets for money. In few days, he would be operating from abroad. He was leaving. I was filled with anger, people like him don't deserve any dignity.
S: Did you shoot him?
V: I didnt know what to do? But it was for the security of this city and country. I couldn't hesitate, my hands were trembling and it was the first time I held a weapon in my hand. I cannot allow anyone ruin thousands of lives in my city in front of my eyes. I held the pistol firm in both my hands. He tried to escape, but I didnt delay. I pulled the trigger. First time in my life, I felt the jerk on my hands, of the shot that killed him. That jerk and sound had shook my body but now my body was firm with responsibility to protect my country.
S: Don't worry, I am sedating you with a chemical, you will be asleep for few hours.
V: Some one hit me after I shot him, May be that man in suit. I don't know who he was. Did you secure data and what about Mishra's family?
S: Don't worry, I have sorted everything. You will be home soon. And everything will be normal, trust me.
