Chapter 7

Dev ~

I came to a little far distance panting from the backyard, where still I can see it a bit tiny in my vision…

Why the hell are they investigating me? I closed my eyes and thought and thought about what to do next. And finally reached on an idea.

All the three were still standing near the door and were discussing something. I had never been angry with them. My violent nature is just for others and not my team. Sh*t what have I done? I thought about rubbing my hands on my face, feeling tense. Whatever it may be before they further investigate I'll succeed with my idea tomorrow before my boys wake up.

The car stood at a deserted place, a dried arid land, like no rain has fallen since decades on it.

"Sir, why have we come here?" Enquired Romil.

"I'll let you know my boy," said the Commissioner.

Instead of focusing on the case, he's brought me here, why? Romil's curiosity was on pique.

"Here. This is the land where I had my first encounter with Dev. Can you see the blood spilt over it? It's my blood. That ba**ard Dev shot on my arm here and he without getting a scratch on his body ran away from my clutches," Informed the Commissioner his teeth clenching.

Romil can see the blood spilt over the land, it has been dried and rusted by now, with the dust mixed with it. But there was lots of blood spilt. Not enough for one man to cause this.

"Is this all your blood, sir," asked Romil.

"No. I just got shot by him, my dear. But he killed many of our officers, it's theirs," he replied sadly.

"What! He killed our officers alone?" Romil furrowed, his eyeballs popped out.

"Yeah! He did it alone, we were fifteen a good amount and he was just alone, with two guns in his hands. He killed ten of us and five of us were injured. Some were shot in their legs. With some he fought with his fists." the commissioner said, in pain.

"What kind of a man is he? And how's it possible to kill so many of them just alone for him?" said Romil, shocked.

"He's not a man, he's a living monster, a threatening terror, that what Dev is," said the commissioner, nodding.

"Bless me Lord! Truly he's a demon with no mercy, no emotions at all," sighed Romil.

"Yes Romil, till now what you have known about him was just that he's a dangerous wanted criminal, but you didn't know what level of rogue he is. He's a beast with the human body. If we need to get hold of him we need to gather the entire police force for him alone. He's a fearless human hunter."

"So that's the reason, you were telling me not to look at both the cases together," Understood Romil.

"Hmm. First I want to catch this devil, cause killing him is not possible, he's too strong and swift. I want you to investigate this case and bring him to me alive. Do it for our dead officers Romil. The girl's case we can solve it any other time, anyways there's no one to look for her. She must be just wandering here and there as she got a chance to run away," said the commissioner Patting Romil's back.

"Yes sir I'll do my duty well and just focus on this one case for now and take revenge for our dead officers," said Romil giving a salute to the commissioner.

"Come here, my boy. I'll tell you some other important things related to this case, which will help you," he said, taking Romil to the side, putting a hand on his shoulder.

It was already dawn and Dev had woken up. The sun was giant today, its orange-yellow shimmer was making the forest look like an adventure land. With its rays sprinkled on the tall stood trees making the leaves look golden. The land was shining in ochre colour. Dev inside of his room was rubbing his eyes while giving out a huge stretch to his muscled body. He was ripped and it was clearly seen this time as he wore white sand.

There were numerous tattoos on his body despite the flying dove. One on his left arm which was a circular design, written in Sanskrit. The other one was visible when he took off the sando to replace it with another one, it was on his upper back that ran down towards his mid-back, an ancient sword. Revealing his front was his buffed chest and sizzling abs, that looked hotter than the global warming. On his right chest was another one, numerous bullets were scattered as one tattoo.

His hair was all messed up but was only adding to him being sexy. The green veins on his body were clearly seen which was the sign of an intense workout. He took out a grey sando which was hung up on an iron prostration from the flaky wall of his room. He wore a sky blue shirt on top and let it remain unbuttoned. He folded the sleeves up as usual till his elbow and put on his dog tagged locket in his neck.

He had a tiny cot-like looking bed in his room with a soft pillow and one duvet. A table set on the right of the bed had a little lamp and some photo frames along with his gun laid there. There were two windows made of wood with little of the algae climbing up on it making it look greenish wooden windows. He opened the windows and the door and rushed out to make his plan successful which he had thought of yesterday night.

He slightly, without making noise opened the doors of his gang members, to find out that they were still asleep and yet they were. Raghav and Mayank slept in one room while Suraj in another. There were a total of 6 rooms including the storeroom and the supper club where they had their party yesterday night.

He quickly ran towards the backyard and flung open the door unlocking it. Dev was smart, he kept the key of the storeroom under his pillow, whole night, knowing that his members might search for it to look inside what he's hiding.

~ Dev ~

When I entered inside, I saw her awake. Oh, God! She is awake. Thank god no members saw her or I should thank her for not screaming and making chaos.

"What huh? What are you looking at," I asked her as I found her staring at me.

I sat down near her, going near to her face, "Today is a new day for you, isn't it?" I asked to smirk.

"You will like what am I gonna do to you?" she continued staring at me blankly.

I grabbed her tied hands and pulled her towards my face, "You know what am I gonna do?" I gritted my teeth pressing my hands on her soft hands. She moaned a little.

I went nearer, towards her ear, brushing her hair back and whispered, " I am going to kill you."

She pushed me back, but that was in vain. She cried," No, No, No" trying to leave herself from my clutches.

I pressed my fingers on her cheeks holding her face tight, "Don't shout. Or I'll kill you right away."

A small tear oozed out from her pretty eye. I can not feel the pain she might be feeling cause I don't feel pain anyway. But I can tell for a fragile thing like her, she was getting hurt by me.

I taped her mouth and took her outside of the room. She was beating me, but it didn't hurt, her hands are feeling like feathers on my arms and chest. I take her to the lake and make her sit down, my gun pointing at her.

"What did you say yesterday? you will tell everyone about me, Right?. Go and tell me now. Go," I shouted.

"Why can't you go? Oh, I forgot I kidnapped you. And now I'm gonna kill you for once and all. You are causing me trouble. It's enough. I shouldn't have bought you here," I scared her.

She was trying to speak out something. "Only if you don't shout i'll hear your last wish Okay.", I warned. I un-taped her mouth.

"Please, I beg you, please don't kill me. It'll hurt me. I can't take it. Please. I will not tell anyone. I promise," She uttered.

"How can I trust you, you are a psycho, " I asked.

"Please trust me. I want my life, " she begged, crying.

"Fine I trust you, but I won't keep you here anymore. I'll leave you on the road stranded. But if I come to know that you have told someone about me I'll find and I'll kill you and that's my promise," I warned again.

She nodded. She was beautiful. I felt like touching her. To Look into her pretty eyes, but can't.

No Dev. You have no emotions. No feelings. You shouldn't care. She's risky anyhow. I told myself.

I grabbed her by her arm and pushed her into my car which I had parked yesterday. "Stay still!" I growled.

"Boss. Stop it right there."

I turned around in guilt.

My eyes widened. My members saw me. They saw me with her.

"Who's she?"They asked in unison, flabbergasted.
