Chapter 73 - Things not adding up....

" Kunal is dead", said Zeenat. " Four years ago members of your gang killed him. Or so we thought ", she said.

" My gang", said the Dragon.

She nodded weakly.

" I remembered one of the men", she said.

" Who", he asked.

" I don't know his name", she said.

" I don't believe you", said Sumeet.

" I am a dying woman sir. I have nothing but my child left. Kunal rests in Saint Peter's cemetery in his village. He lived there as a child. Father D'mello. You can ask him", she said.

" Take them all in custody " , he said to his deputys.

" Usman take the girl to Rambabu. She joins my household as a servant. The child shall remain with my wife".

" Any games with me", he threatened Zeenat. " And I kill the child first ".

All of them shivered in fear.

Jeet thought if Kunal is dead then who is the mastermind? Why that number of Kunal was used? Which man from Dragon's team used his name to betray him?

And he had no answers

Things didn't add up.

No answers. But he sure was determined to find them.

Next Morning

" Sam oh my God Sam", cried Chanchal as she hugged the child tightly.

" Someone is after him", he explained to her.

She saw her husband.

" They tried to kill him. He will be safe here".

They were back at Singhanias after completing the vacation.

Chanchal readily agreed.

" I offered her mother a job", he explained. "Keep the kid with you".

" Angel", sniffed Sammy.

" Oh my poor child ", said Chanchal as she took him to bath.

He saw Adhiraj with a questioning look on his face.

He signalled study as both father and son moved there.

An hour later

Jeet has relayed the entire story to Adhi.

" As per her Kunal never harmed anyone in our family but I don't know "...

" I hope you are verifying the facts", said Adhi.

" Certainly ", he replied. " Let's get a dna done with you first of the child. Manya is off to that Daman village to get dead man's dna. I am sorry ".

" Whatever is God's will", replied Adhi.

" I am leaving for Goa" said Jeet.

A mission was waiting there.

Meanwhile

" Rash you treat me like a child " , sulked Dev.

" She treats me the same", chuckled CPS.

Rash ignored them. She took Dev's BP then sugar test. Shaun has taught her using a small machine.

" Rash".. .

" Ssshhh old man. You don't care about your life at all. And that pest has no time. He is off to Goa of all the places to inaugrate a pool. Seriously ", she made a face.

" You could have joined him. He invited you after all", said CPS.

" And be face to face with that walking talking STD. No thanks. You know papa Diva slept with him. I suggested a full body check up for him", quipped Rash.

Viru was sponsoring the event.

Suddenly her cell rang

" Yes Chi Chi.. Oh really.. So he said it. No I appreciate. Does Jeet know? You didn't ask. Of course he will be. Poor kid. Okay I'll be there in an hour", she said.

" What was she saying ", asked CPS.

" Papa about that... "

And in next fifteen minutes she explained what happened at the vacation minus that the attack was on the little boy.

" Chi Chi was so upset about it. She stopped talking but Jeet helped. Now her husband got the kid home. She wants me there", she said.

" You go", said a worried Dev.

She was about to leave when she got a call from Jeet.

" Are you done with pool you grandpa? Bet the standard of bimbos has fallen more", she said sarcastically.

" Missing me sweetheart. Mafias not matching upto you overactive l*bido", said Jeet continuing the banter.

" Uhh I am done arguing with you pest. I am off to meet Chi Chi", she said.

" Chi Chi or that mafia husband of hers", he teased.

" Actually that kid Sam", she replied truthfully.

" He got the kid", Jeet was surprised.

" Yes grandpa. Unlike you who got comfortable with pool babes that fellow is actually working ", she said.

" You be careful. Don't be over zealous. There is something seriously wrong about that kid and I don't want you involved ", he said. " I am still investigating this". He seemed worried for her.

She mellowed down.

" I'll be careful I promise ", she replied.

" Love you Rash", he said.

" Love you too".

Goa

" Viru we need to be extra careful with this assignment. One slip and we will fail", said Jeet.

" I never thought army could ne compromised ", said Virat.

" We are not sure it. If today that attack happens we are sure", said Jeet with a grim face.

" You are taking a risk", said Viru.

" We need something solid to approach the centre. This attack will provide us the proof we need. Plus make sure we get him alive", he said.

" One more thing if you think it is of some importance " , said Viru.

" Shoot", said Jeet.

" Goa is ruled by Rajvansh family underground your.. I mean Summet's mother's family ".

" And", he raised a brow.

" Adhiraj a. k. a your father was supposed to marry the elder daughter of the family but she ran away with a guy from red salute gang and the younger daughter married him."

" Red gang. That's interesting. What happened to her", he asked.

" No idea yet. But we can dig", he said.

" Do it", ordered Jeet.

Why did his dad hide this from him?

Rajvansh... Not adding up...

Suddenly they saw a few army men checking guests.

" You are on", said Viru.

Jeet moved in the line of fire.

" Action. Red alert", spoke Viru on his blue tooth.

" Hello there", Jeet bellowed to the state CM who was now in direct range of army people.

He welcomed Jeet heartily. He was a member of opposite party but an honest and simple man. Deepak respected him a lot though they were not friends.

" Mr. Palekar", said Jeet.

The army people saluted Jeet. He saluted back as army principles ran in his blood.

" A tight security ", he raised a brow.

" He is on hit list", said one of the bodyguard.

" You my friend are like him. You both anger wrong people ", chuckled Jeet.

Meanwhile

Viru's team was on high alert. Guru joined them from Mumbai. Jeet halted him there.

" We don't want to alert them. And plus you are needed here. Keep an eye on Rash", he had said.

Rashmi's mention sealed the deal for him. She was reckless knew Guru and for all his bravado Jeet was scared for her and of her.

A slow genuine smile came on Guru's face.

Meanwhile

" Rash Thank God you are here" said Chi Chi as she arrived.

Sam was sitting with her along with a girl of 19-20.

" Please explain her that she is safe here", said Chi Chi.

" Who is she", asked Rash

" Sam's mother ", replied Chanchal.

" Grace", said Rash as she examined the girl.

She was quite young to be a mother. Plus she looked innocent. Also very healthy.

" Mom I'll. Dioctor say she die", she remembered the child's words.

Something doesn't add up here...

Rash knew she will investigate and Jeet wouldn't like it. She sighed.

Meanwhile

" Five o'clock clock right", said Scarlett on her device. " About 10 steps from him".

Kitty moved fast. Sure she saw a man with gun. She was wearing a slinky bikini.

" Distraction on", she said and collided with him.

" Oh I am so sorry sir", she batted her eyes at him.

Viru and Jeet were alerted.

" No noise swift elimination", said Viru.

" Ohh ohh Kritika tried to correct his dress and he stared at her rack. This distraction was enough for her. Domhas reached her by now. She took out a drug injection and injected him. He slumped.

" Ahh these fellows", mumbled Dom for nearby people to hear. " They drink then pass out on girls. Sorry miss", he said to Kitty as he carried the man away

They retrieved his micropbone.

" Number four cover for me", came a voice on microphone. I am going for his head".

" Eagle he is going for the kill", said Dom.

They didn't know who...

" Sir I suggest move to a safe place" , said Eagle.

" Palekar let's have a look at the garden ", Jeet tried to steer him away.

" No I have a press meet", he replied.

" Press", Jeet whipered on his blue tooth.

Virat moved fast.

" Hey no page 3 here. I have suffered enough", he said. " OUT ALL OF YOU", he screamed at the media people.

" Sir we are here for CM", tried one of them.

" This is not a political rally but a private function. Out", said Virat. " SECURITY "..

" Palekar let's move", suggested Jeet. " This will get ugly.

Suddenly

" You need to die", said Palekar's head of security. " You traitor".

Vinod Palekar stood open mouthed in shock

Things didn't add up. ...

The man behind the gun was his best friend of 10 years.
