"I spy you!" -19

She could not open her mouth to scream since his hand was on her mouth. She struggled a little and bit his hand as much as she could. The man removed his hand for a moment. She said, “Hey, leave me! Why are you holding me?”

The man gave a gasp and said, “Oh God, Older sister! Why did you not tell me it was you?”

Vasupradha recognized the voice and said, “Durjaya! It’s you! How could I tell you that it was me when you had shut my mouth?” she struck a pose putting her left hand on her left side of the hip and showing the right hand thumb finger up.

“Wow, what a pose! If some producer makes a movie on a lady spy, you are the right choice!” he mocked.

“Let us come to the work part please, if you have finished your bantering” she said in a serious tone.

He said in an equally serious tone, “The next door activities have not started. I am waiting. Since you have come let us wait together”

Both of them settled near the window in the dark.

Vasupradha suddenly remembered and asked, “When will be I going to check about the fake ID woman’s son’s kidnapper? What will happen to the woman with the fake ID?” 

“Oh, the woman would be undergoing some enquiries. As far as the kidnapper’s case, one of our colleagues who is on the field would go” he said.

“Who?” she asked as if she knew everyone. It was just an idle curiosity.

“The best man in the business. Pushpahaasa” said Durjaya.

That was the first time she came across the name of Pushpahaasa!

The name sounded interesting she thought and opened her mouth to ask some more questions, when Durjaya said, “Sh!”

Vasupradha saw a few shadows almost floating into the next house. She felt goose bumps on her arms. It was just like in the movies except for the background music!

“Where is your gun?” asked Vasupradha.

“Hey, wait for a moment! What do you think? Some James Bond movie? My job is to report what is happening after checking for about 2 days. The field team along with the local police would take the necessary action to apprehend them”

“Oh” she said, trifle disappointed.

The next day she did not come to this house. She was asked to learn the Morse code.

“Why should we learn this? What is the advantage?” she asked.
