Chapter 3 - † God save the world

"Gatorin is a drug that is currently on hype. Recently we came to know about it. But it's been circulating in the world for a while now. At least a year ago, it was released. And it's only sold to Mafia families. This particular drug can alter one's DNA and make him a superhuman."

..a second silence...

"I know it's difficult for you guys to accept it. But it's true. We are really entering a superhuman era. We don't know the culprit. We don't know anything about this drug. Except that it exist. And it is been a while that criminals are consuming it."

"The real question is Are just the criminals are consuming it? Or those who are consuming it are the criminals??"

"What do you mean chief?" Another voice sounded. This new voice belongs to Rohit Das. The captain of 2nd division in police force.

And till now who was lecturing was the chief of kalkata police force.

" Nothing! Don't mind me. Cause it's just a speculation. So from now on the whole kalkata police force will work on this case. And mind my words, the whole world is involved in this.." The chief said and stopped for a second.

" Moving on to the details... Well the first criminal got caught smuggling this drug was in Japan. Then in Russia, USA, Bangladesh, Chinna , Pakistan, Dubai and about a week ago in Mumbai. But.. there is one difference. Except in Japan, Russia, and USA, no one got captured in another country. But.." he stopped and look at others in the presentation room.

"But what sir?" Team leader Minaxi Mishra from team 1 asked.

"But the description of the superhuman doing is matching... For the case of Mumbai... Well it's a raped and killing case...of a...." He stopped. People can saw hesitation on his face. Even in that dark room they can feel that he is ashamed, guilty or sad for saying this..

But the chief continued, "This happened to a 11 year old child. That bustard mother fucker.. sorry for my language. But that psycho did that with the child and killed her by cutting open her stomach. Hah..! Siggghhhh!" The old chief stopped. He took a huge sigh. He looked down for some seconds..

Everyone in the room do the same. Everyone is angry. But they couldn't do anything. After all they are serving law. They are not the law.

The chief continued, " Yesterday a lady of 23 was raped near sector 5. But there is a twist. Two people did it. And we don't have any further information. But we are sure one superhuman with illusion ability did it. Cause the victim said that she saw her bf doing it with her and they were in a hotel room. With a bit further investigation the bf said.. well team leader of team 3. Take it from here.."

Everyone look at Munish sah of team 3. He stand up and said, " The boyfriend said that he was in his friend's house all night. We ask his friend and he agreed. We also checked nearby CCTV footage. And it's same as described. That boy goes in that area at evening 8 and come out of there in dawn 6. And that's only way to come. Still we check other roots and we got nothing. We also checked cctv nearby area of the rape in sector 5. Except one blurred footage we got nothing. And truthfully we wouldn't have known if it's not for a newspaper man contacting us in the first morning. He was circulating news papers while he saw her in the alleyway naked. He thought it was a rape and murder case. But after we came, we come to know that she was just.."

" Well at first we thought that it's simply that she overslept. But we wanted to capture the bf cause he leave her at that state in the middle of the road. But as we investigate..."

Everything is silent in the room now. Everyone was thinking..

If Munish didn't investigate rightly and let go of it, they would not have got this.

The police chief said, " So! We suspect that superhuman is in our city. And we know nothing about them. How many? How much? If they did something before like this? Or not? We know absolutely nothing. On top of that that girl was the daughter of a minister..." He stopped.

Everyone immediately understand what he meant.

" So guys! Let's do it. For now investigate a link between every case you find suspicious in one year. Ok?" The chief said.

" Yes sir! " Everyone shouted standing up.

After everyone goes away from there, the chief looked at the presentation. The photos were still.

"WHO? How? When? Where?" He asked himself.

On the other hand, sealdah station;

A boy named priyans was coming from Lakshmikantapur. He was coming here to do a job. The job was simple. He needs to work in a calendar shop. It's new year. Calendars will be printing in a huge number now.

He was instructed to spend the night that day.

He already did one day yesterday. His daily income 400 rupees.

Words were that he needs to do 3 days. Total 1200 rupees. But then they said yesterday night that he will need to spend tonight and work. So his total income will be 1422 rupees.

So he agreed. His plan is to work there tonight. And he will wake up early tomorrow get it done till 5 and run away to home.

And as planned he worked till 10. But the work didn't end. So when others goes to eat, he worked till 10:58.

Then he goes to eat. Till then others returned. First he goes to bathroom in a public toilet. There was a small Shiva's temple nearby. He prayed for good luck and going early home tomorrow. Then he goes to eat. But in the middle of his walk, he collided with a man. The man ignored him and walk away.

When he looked down....
