PART 14

''Those men there are the drug dealers.You've got to go to them under the pretext of buying drugs...I won't be far and cover you.As soon as they give you drugs,we'll nab them red-handed.''ASR conclude,nodding inconspicously towards the hulking figures of three troll-like men.

''What if they escape?I mean,we're outnumbered.''Khushi said eying the men appraisingly.

''No,they won't!I've posted officials of local police in civil dress.They don't have a prayer to escape!''he replied calmly.

''Now off you go and I don't want any mistakes!''

Khushi nodded determinedly and set off,making her way between the dancing crowd.Just as she was about to reach the men,someone patted on her shoulder.She turned around to see her friend Natasha standing in front of her with a surprised smile.

''My my from which direction dis the Sun rise today?Khushi kumari gupta is in a night club!Got time away from your beloved S.T.F did you?''She asked.

Khushi blanched,hoping fiercely that the men hadn't heard.

ASR stared at her frustrated.Khushi was wasting his precious time,talking to that girl.

''What the!This girl is having her cozy,little chit-chat,abandoning the mission!''

He saw one of the men whisper something in other's ear and he walked off nodding.ASR smelled the danger immediately and started towards khushi.

Suddenly the lights went off,enveloping the entire place in dark.Everyone stated fidgeting,calling for the management.ASR was stopped as several bodies closed together,buzzing like angry bees.

Few moments later lights flickered on and brought with it a nasty blow for ASR.

The men had vanished in thin air and so had khushi......

Khushi was dragged,gagged and smothered towards the gloomy insides of the club premise.She struggled hard but was  no match to the men's biceps.

The goons pulled her into a small,dingy room and threw her on a broken chair.

''You S.T.F. officers have a very bad habit of poking around here and there missy!''One of the men leered.

''Let me go!''Khushi said sternly.

''Of course we will...but not so soon.''the man whispered again grabbing khushi by her chin and bending towards her.

He took out a syringe from his jacket pocket.

''Do you know what it is?..It is Marijuana,the most potent of drugs!But of course you must be knowing that,after all you're a S.T.F. officer,shrewd and intelligent.Then you must also be knowing what its over dose does to the taker........It kills!''He sneered.

''Ralph!''he said.

To her horror,khushi felt her arm pricked and the effect was instantaneous.She felt light headed as stupor settled over her.The room seemed to revolve and took a sort of surreal impression for her.Drugs had a more debilitating effect on her nervous system as she had never been subjected to it before.

The men laughed manically and reached out once again to inject her.

The door banged open......
