Next day,
The clock was showing 9:00 and I had to go out for a deal.
This time I left Kriti with Aira and left for Cassino in my car with Deva. The night was dark and it did not take me long to reach the casino. The casino was divided into two parts, the first one was downstairs, it was for partying and the upper floor constituted some resting rooms and other rooms for private discussion, agreements were usually concluded here, whether it was about drugs or any other illegal thing and because many people used to come and go here and parties tend to happen no one could suspect us here.
When I reached there, the disco lights were on and a party was going on in the club. There were a lot of people. They were dancing drunk, I was in the middle of them all not even touching a drop of alcohol and right now the only thing that concerned me was the deal.
I passed through them and went upstairs, second room to the left was room number 302. I entered it and sat on the luxurious sofa inside.There were already some people there and seeing me they all stood up and started greeting me.The person leading the other group from front was "Sanyal", the one whol manages this Casino, a man feared by many but not me, he would be one of my underdogs once this deal was signed. I waved my hand, indicating Sanyal to sit and he offered me the documents, taking the documents from his hands, I started studying them all carefully.
While this was happening, I started hearing noises below. I don't know why it felt like someone was saying '...police police?' I did not raise my head my eyes fixed on the paper but signaled Deva to check it out.
He obeyed me, After a while he came inside and hurriedly whispered a few things in my ear, I was shocked to hear him and my eyes widened visibly,
While all this was going on, Sanyal must have also come to know what was going on outside and he too was panicking. I glared at him and asked, "you fucker, what kind of a place is this? Weren't you bragging about this place being secure and above all under complete control then what does this mean, You turned out to be of no use. Pray to God that nothing goes wrong today because If it does, you will be as good as dead".
He bowed, hurriedly explained, "Master please forgive me. I don't know how these people came in. I will do something about it, There must be one of their men amongst us, otherwise none of this would have happened".
I was infuriated "Shut that thing now and don't waste your time with this useless explanation and handle the situation below, no one should knows about this."
I told him and hurriedly started calming down myself, my brain was working at inhuman speed.
From Deva's words one thing was clear, 'If they were informed about this deal, then they would have headed straight to us, to the second floor why waste their time and exposing themselves this early isn't something an experienced officer would ever do, then that means...'
'Raid, they are here to raid this place, to confiscate things like drugs' My head snapped at the sudden thought and turning to the man before me, "There are no rats, hide these documents....no burn them we can make a fresh copy later, they are not here for us and Deva hide yourself, don't come out untill I ask you to ".
They were confused by my sudden command but complied and left, Deva in particular wasn't willing to leave me here but my gaze didn't allow him to retort and he too backed away.
I left the room, intending to buy them some time and entering the room which was right next to the stairs, taking a bottle from the cabinet and a coke can, the wine bottle had high content of alcohol but not paying it any attention, I emptied a considerable amount of coke before adding wine to it, I immediately gulped down a few sips like some thirsty animal, 'Now, if someone finds me here, they will only think of me as some rich kid having fun and won't pry into it'.
I gained resistance to poison thanks to my family's training, but alcohol wasn't something I had experience with, not in this life at the least so, my head was foggy and my vision turned blurry, the only reason I could retain some clarity was due to my past life experiences, making myself look as natural as possible I leaned back lazily, my gaze directed at the ceiling as if lost in thought, my hand was holding an almost emptied coke can albeit lightly as if barely in sense.
A few minutes passed and footsteps could be heard from the corridor.
'Bang' the closed door was kicked open and from it entered two to three individuals. They called him out, but he chose not to respond and remained immobile, a few moments passed a with another bang the door was closed swiftly, but he didn't break his act because he could still hear someone's foot steps reaching him.
A hand reached him, grabbing him by his shoulders and making him look straight.
"What are you doing here?"
The voice belonged to a female and he knew it's owner without even seeing the owner.
'Witira' I thought and a few words escaped my slippery tongue, "Were you following me?
