Daksh was typing something over his phone with his eyebrows knitted in a frown.

"What do you mean?" My thoughts came out in a trembling voice.

Daksh looked back at me as he spoke, "I suspect that it was intentionally done and not an accident."

My blood ran cold upon hearing his words. Intentionally? But who would want to kill me and why?

I looked over at Viaan who had a frown and a distinct look like he was rampaging through a thousand thoughts in his head.

My eyes found my now crushed iPhone flashing static screen. The display was ruined, that was for sure.

And at once two phones went off. Making Daksh and Viaan end up looking at their phones.

"Here," Viaan handed the phone with a familiar number flashing over the screen.

Mom calling...

Hesitantly I received the call while Daksh talked over his phone a few feet away from me.

"Hello, mom?" I breathed out trying to compose myself as much as possible.

"Rynah? What happened? What was that noise and why weren't you answering? Did something happen? Tell me what happened, dear," She was anxious I could tell but I didn't want to make her any more anxious so I resorted to replying, "I accidentally dropped my phone, mom. That's it. It stopped working after that."

"You are such a stupid girl! That was a brand new phone and you do that? You took away ten years of our lives due to worry! I thought that something bad happened over there!" She was full on yelling on the other side.

"Mom, mom... I need to go. I will talk to you later. Viaan needs his phone." I didn't wait for her to reply and ended the call. I didn't feel bad about her scolding me because I knew that she didn't know what had exactly happened.

Daksh turned to us, placing the phone back into his pocket as he hurriedly informed while rushing towards the car, "Vikrant has him. We need to get there now."

"Prakash, take madam back home and help her settle down," Viaan ordered the drivers while rushing towards the car where Daksh had already climbed into the driver seat.

"Rynah, go with them and we will be back soon," before I could say anything he hopped into the passenger seat before the car raced down the road.

I was left sitting in the middle of the road, flabbergasted, surrounded by the drivers.

"Madam, shall we?" An old driver with pepper and salt hair and wrinkles on his face asked, whom I assumed to be Prakash.

Looking one last time towards the way where the brothers had disappeared, I got up and dusted away the invisible dust from my clothes before nodding in reply.

Looks like I would soon be learning what was going on out there...

36. CHATTEESPART II

“There'snothing to worry about, Rynah. They are the Raivardhans!" That was what I had been trying to explain to myself. But who was I kidding? I was dying out of anxiety here. None of them had returned nor answered the calls!

On the other hand, what I didn't know at that time was that Vikrant had raced after the lorry, zigzagging across the road to confuse and induce fear in the lorry's driver. He took his own time while overtaking the other vehicles on the road and indirectly manipulating the driver to take a less congested road. Just what Vikrant had been expecting.

Just as the GPS in the car indicated clear traffic ahead, Vikrant changed the gears and pushed down the acceleration as he raced to overtake the lorry. But not before sending his coordinates to his brothers and his other men. The driver was palpitating in fear, especially when he registered the sunroof of the car sliding open. Vikrant drove the car about a hundred meters away from the approaching truck and skidded it to a stop before he was out of the sunroof to standing on the car roof. He quickly grabbed his gun from the holster on the back of his belt and pointed it out at the lone driver in the lorry.

The panic swept into the veins of the driver at the sight of the black shiny metal in Vikrant's hand. His foot pressed against the acceleration with the intention to ram into the car, ending the matter once and for all. But Vikrant had other plans.

When he didn't see any signs of the driver stopping the lorry, Vikrant aimed for the right shoulder of the driver, beside his heart and pulled the trigger. The pain and the shock coursed through the driver and before he understood what was happening, he had pulled the air brakes and allowed the lorry to slow down just to come to a stop a few inches from Vikrant's car.

Vikrant hopped down from the car roof and climbed the lorry to pull out the notorious driver who was now screaming and crying out in pain. Soon after that, a few more cars came to a screeching halt behind the lorry. One of them contained Daksh and Viaan while the rest of them had their private men in suits.

The Raivardhans had made sure to secure the road on either side to avoid any audience to witness the scene.

Without wasting another moment, Vikrant pulled the driver into the nearest SUV with tinted glasses while two of their men drove the car and the truck away. Within ten minutes of stopping the truck, they cleared the scene and left for one of their warehouses where they could investigate the driver thoroughly, without any interruption.
