PART 3

Damn you Arnav!You should really learn how to keep your temper in check!

ASR was berating himself,khushi's tearful eyes flashing before him.Howsoever hard he tried,he couldn't push her off his mind.

                                                                                The sudden shrill ring of the phone broke his reverie.

''Hello!''he answered the phone and the news on the other end was enough to kick the ACP in him,snapping everything in perspective.

''Are you sure?You very well know the consequences of messing with ASR!''he growled.

''Good!''he added after a pause and snapped the phone shut,smirking smugly.He was on a hunt.....

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

''Oh god its so dark here.Please let this be over soon!''Khushi was incessantly mumbling prayers which obviously got on ASR's nerves.

''Can't you keep your mouth shut for a single second?''he whispered furiously.

There were hidden behind thick bushes,facing a ruined building.E arlier that morning ASR had received information from one of his spies that a huge consignment of drugs was going to change hands on that very spot and accordingly he had laid down the trap to catch the wrong-doers.Every S.T.F officer was now positioned in the surrounding area and inadverently khushi and ASR had ended up hiding at the same place.That guaranteed clash of the titans!

''If you were just as afraid of darkness as I am you wouldn't be saying this.''she said petulantly, her childish rebuke brought a faint smile on ASR's face-something which he hadn't done for years.But immediately he pulled on his antagonistic mask,grateful that it was dark.

''There is no place of fear in a S.T.F. officer's life Ms.gupta.The sooner you understand this the better!''he whispered curtly,turning his back on her.

Khushi gaped at him.The man was impossible!

''Well you have to have a bit of human in you to feel emotions which you apparently lack.''she snapped.

''You....''But ASR's irate reply was drowned in the revving of an engine as a truck rolled to stop in the deserted clearing in front of them.

Their prey has arrived......
