Sameer's POV
The day was finally here.The day to finish all this off
I got up to see what the other guys were up to
"Can't you wake up early at least for one big day?",Aarav asked giving me a sceptical look
I just yawned, ignoring his judging gaze.
"It's not like the world will end if I get a few minutes of sleep",I replied grabbing my breakfast
"Good morning guys!!!",chirped the girls in an excited tone
Too much excitement for a morning
"Aren't you guys ready yet?",Ishita asked giving a disbelieving look
"Nope.... We'll be ready in 5 anyways",Shiv replied brushing his teeth which Ishita scoffed loudly
"Wait a second—Why are you both up so early?",I asked wondering why they were all geared up
"Is 8 AM too early for my baby Sameer?",Aarav asked in a teasing tone
"Yes it is,mumma",I rolled my eyes at him as I turned at the girl raising my eyebrows at them
They stood they in awkward silence, looking at each other
Then it came down on me
"Wait....You don't think about tagging along with us,do you?",I asked with wide eyes
"Kind of....",Shreya replied sheepishly
"No",us guys said in union
"What?Why?We helped you guys and you can't cut us off like that", Ishita whined
"It's dangerous out there Ishu",Shiv tried to explain
"I can take care of myself,Shiv.You don't have to make decisions for me",she said prentending to be angry
"You know,last time someone said that they ended up.....",he replied making a face
"Gwen Stacy?Spiderman?",Ishita aksed placing her hands on her chin
"You've got me",Shiv exclaimed proceeding to do a high five
"That makes sense.But you are no Spiderman",she said ignoring his high five
"Look.... it's not that you can't protect yourself.But this is our mission.It's our job.And we should be the one to do this.I know you understand,Ishita",He replied looking at her fondly
She looked down and nodded
"Yeah..you are right",she said flashing a smile
I looked over Shreya and she still didn't seem convinced but she wasn't upset either
And I can't let that slide in easily
"Has anyone else is ready?",Veer asked standing in a perfect black suit
"You didn't tell me you were getting married today",Aarav joked making everyone burst into laughter
"You!!!!",he cursed
"I'm getting ready",Aarav said proceeding to get dressed

Veer's POV
These guys were never on time.Their 5 minutes seemed like eternity to me
"Okay let's move",Aarav said finally getting out of the house
Soon enough we began our plan
"It's time Veer",Shiv said as we stood across the big building
I nodded firmly as I walked over to the entrance, hoping I won't be recognised
I wasn't a fool to walk around showing my face just because I have a access card
I quite got into the disguise thing-mostly with a decent moustache, beard and a weird harido
"Just act casual--And don't talk to anyone unless they talk to you",Sameer adviced
And I just nodded like he could see me
I looked over the gate to find a good number of guards in the area around it
I could be wearing a disguise but it would be utterly foolish to show my face directly to the person who would have probably seen my face in the wanted list of their association
"Guys..?A distraction would help",I said blankly
"A distraction would cause an alarm and make them realise something is off",Aarav resorted
He's right
I sighed in frustration as I looked over the other side to find a bunch of men dressed up in a similar suit
"Don't worry, I've got this",I said as I jumped over the railing and waked over to the group
They seemed to be some kind of new recruits as they were busy discussing something within themselves
As we approached the cricle of guards,I could feel myself getting a bit nervous
The guard looked over the group and called his colleague.He seemed to whisper something in his ear as he nodded, motioning everyone to go
"First hurdle-clear",I informed the guys as I walked over to the scanner
I scanned around me to make sure no one was watching
As I placed the access card,the light shone in green, letting the way
"I'm in,guys",I informed again
"Great job!!!",Aarav exclaimed
"Now reach the 12th floor,where you need to find the secondary security control room",Shiv explained carefully
"There's a lift,right?",I asked sighing
"Why don't you call and ask your dream girl?",Aarav teased as I groaned for asking in the first place
As I got into the lift,I prayed nobody would hop in,as it would make things a little stressful for me
But to my luck,the entire lift ride was calm
The doors clicked open and I started walking towards control room talking to the boys
"I'm almost near it",I whispered when suddenly I heard a voice behind me
"Wait!!! Please hold the lift",the familiar voice yelled as I stood inches away from the elevator
My body involuntarily turned around on hearing the voice,maybe to confirm if my guesses were right
I stood frozen on seeing her and the reaction was mutual as she was trying hard to find the words to say
"You...!?",it came out barely audible
"Sara.....",I stammered not knowing what to say
We stood still for a few moments,while the worry about the elevator was long gone and forgotten
"What are you doing here?",she asked in a blank tone
"I'm...on....",I stopped realising she already knew what was going on
"You should leave.It's really dangerous . He's strengthening the security more since his Cheif financial officer is not responding to any of his calls.And I'm highly sure that it is due to one of your gang's doings ",she stated staring right through me
It seemed funny to me that she won't refer him as her Dad
And I was really impressed by her analysis and the amazing conclusion
"I know exactly what to do right now",I said moving towards her

Aarav's POV
"Shit!!!-He's off",Shiv cursed adjusting his ear piece
"Is it a communication issue?", Sameer asked confused
"Seems like he cut the communication with us.And I don't know where this's gonna lead...",Shiv said tensed as as he placed his hands on his head
What?He won't just abandon us
"Did you try reconnecting?",Sameer countered
"Yes,he just declined",Shiv said looking him dead in the eye
"No,there must be a mistake",I said not wanting to believe what's happening
"Me too...But we gotta do something soon.This place will be crowded with guard within a matter of time",Sameer replied strenly
"Let's get to the North Gate....",Shiv said turning to walk away
"And then.......?",I asked raising my eyebrows
"Then we'll wait for his signal",he replied
"Or....?",I asked knowing well that Mr.Kapoor doesn't do anything without a plan B
"Or we'll figure out a way in",he replied sighing as I grinned at him

Shiv's POV
"I don't think I see any chances of us walking through this damn gate",Sameer said squinting his eyes
Well,yeah
The gate was too tall to climb,too rough to break and one wrong move could make all the alarm go off
"It can be opened only from the inside",I said observing the gate
"Or?....",Aarav aksed making a face
"There's no 'or' this time",I said shrugging
He was pretty shocked at my response
"Well..... Let's just say,Varma knows his financial officer is missing.And he knows he's in charge of the North Gate too.So what are the chances that he immediately send security to this place and we'll all get cuffed?",he asked in a single breath
"You think I don't know that?",I asked turning a bit irritated
"Then are you just gonna let that happen?",He aksed his muscles tensing up
"What else am I supposed to do,huh?I never thought he would stood up us!!!I didn't even have a Plan B",I confessed yelling at him
But instead of being angry,he just gave me an understanding look
"So say let's figure this out together?",he asked meekly
"Yea--",I said smiling but was intrupted by Sameer's voice
"Not to break the bromance but I think they're coming this was",he said in a semi-panic tone pointing at the radar on his wristwatch
"F*ck",Aarav mumbled, walking around rapidly
"Wait!!!......Do you hear that?",Sameer aksed extending his hands motioning us to be quiet
"Yeah....I could hear him swearing",I said rolling my eyes
"Not that..",he said pointing to our ear piece
"Err.....hello?Guys?",the voice echoed in our ears
"Can you hear me?",he asked as his voice glitched
I turned around being confused.Then I saw the gate open
"Guys????......",he shouted
"I guess it's open.So c'mon in",he said as he didn't receive any response from us
"Yeah....okay",Aarav said as he gave me a glance
We safely entered before any trouble and began walking towards the block's entrance
"Veer?Is everything ok?",Sameer asked finally
"Yeah....Sorry for not informing earlier.It turns out that the security room was sensitive to these communication device.... That's why I couldn't get to you guys early",he said apologetically and I could feel a little smile creeping on my face
"That's all right mate.We were just a little worried not knowing what to do without your signal",Sameer replied with a nod
"So...Stay exactly where you are, we'll meet you there",Aarav spoke
"Done",Veer said enthusiastically
______________________________________
"There you are!!",Sameer shouted looking at Veer
"Finally you guys came...Do you know how long I've been waiting here?",he asked in a dramatic tone
"Do you know how long we waited in panic?", Aarav said rolling his eyes
"Chill bro"
"We thought you.....",I stopped myself from saying that
I felt ashamed that I doubted his sincerity
".......... Abandoned you?",he replied with a hysterical smile
I now looked at him with a tiny bit of guilt
"It's alright,you know.If I was in your place,I would have thought the exact same thing ",he said flashing a smile as I returned him one
"Okay.... coming back to the mission",Sameer said clearing his throat
"We need two pieces of the key to the locker",he said looking at us nervously
"It's definitely in this place.Most likely in the floors closer to the locker"
"So let's split into two teams and find one of the pair."
"So me and Aarav will search here.And you both off to the 10th floor",I replied grasping the plan
"And....."
"Remember the key could be anything",he stated in a serious tone as we didn't exactly know what we were looking for
We nodded understandingly at each other as we went off our own way
