THE PHONE CALL
Author: Richard Manokaran J.
The phone buzzed……….I attended the call and put the call on speaker mode, the voice from the other end said “How did you get our number? My friend gave it to me” I replied “Your friend who is he?” he asked “He is your customer Ashwin from Saibaba colony” I said “Yes. What do you want?” he asked “A girl of my choice” I replied “We will get to you shortly” he said and hung up the phone “He is going to put up a search to know if I am cop” I said “They won’t be able to trace you like that, we have done everything as planned” Saravanan said “Ashwin is truly their customer we got him yesterday, they won’t know that he is with us now” Shiva said “Your ID of your number is fake” Saravanan added “They’ll call us shortly, all we have to do is to wait” I said.
The phone buzzed again in an hour…The image of him with tears flashed up; I attended the call, “When?” he asked. It wasn’t the same voice that I heard an hour ago, but I was sure that it was them. “Tonight” I replied, “Tonight?” He signed “Any problem?” I asked “No problem. How many?” he asked “One of my choice” I replied “High or low?” he asked, I wasn’t prepared for that question. Her looks, I was sure that’ll be high class.“High” I replied “Are you gonna be alone or with few more men” he asked “Alone” I replied in a tone of fury, “Twenty thousand rupees for 2hours” he said “How do I get whom I wish for?” I asked “You’ll receive the images in whatsapp, don’t share it to others and get into trouble” he said “I won’t” I replied “Resend the image of the girl that you want” he said and hung up the phone “Whatsapp?” I asked “I can’t believe it runs in the society so easily” Shiva said.
I installed whatsapp in my mobile. After few minutes my whatsapp buzzed. Images of girls smiling, exposing cleavage and short skirts flowed into my mobile. I could see 20 images in total; the girl whom I was searching was on the 7th image. Saravanan pointed her out. “What about the others?” Saravanan asked wasn’t able to answer that question. “We have to be focused” I replied that was the only reply that I could have possibly said. I re-sent the image of the girl as instructed and waited for them to call back. They called me back in few minutes.
“Address? Time?” he asked
“72, Renuka nagar, Saravanampatty” I said
“That’s a lonely place, don’t try something stupid” he said “What time?” he added
“At 10” I replied
The phone hung up.
We had prepared our self well for the night.
It was indeed a lonely place. The house was alone in the place, more like farm house. Only one way that connects the house to the road. Two hectares of trees surrounded the place. It’ll give us cover. After the two hectares in the north we had a road connecting the place. There will be a car waiting for us with men. They might spy the place for unusual movement for which we were prepared well. We will make them believe that the place is safe.
The wait began…………
Patience…………and to stay calm was the only thing we could do,
The sun went down from monitoring and so the darkness started to cover the world. Three girls go missing for every two days in this state and only 25% of the cases are registered. Politicians and police are well paid to stay out from the business. Boys cheat their girlfriends and bring them into this; some are stuck because of the videos. It’s a network, a big one.
It was about time.
My phone buzzed again. I was instructed to come out and pick the girl up. A 20 meter walks to the main gate. A car was waiting, a black XYLO. A man was standing near the gate. “Was it you?” he asked “Yes” I replied “Is this your farm house or something?” he asked “Yes I leisure here” I replied “Pretty lonely” he said “What do you do?” He asked “Am working in AKATTA, as an designer” I replied “Twenty thousand” he asked, I paid him. “Two hours” he said and knocked on to the rear left window.
The door opened. There she was the one we were searching for, in tight t-shirt and jeans. I could see some wounds in her forehead and hand. She might have rebelled I guessed.“Two hour” he said and patted my shoulders. I gave him a smile and held her hand and took her with me into the house. Saravanan and Shiva were waiting for me inside the house. I opened the door and went inside. Before I could say anything she put her hand around me and started kissing. I pushed her away; Saravanan and Shiva came into the room. “They said only one” she said “We are here to rescue you” I said for a moment she didn’t understand anything, and then she broke into tears.
“Six months” she said as she cried “We will get you out of here” I said and
continued “Its him your dad, he didn’t give up on you”
“We should be leaving” Shiva said
“They’ll come for us” she said
“You are with us, you’ll be safe. Now let’s get you out of here” I said
“There is a guy spying over the place in east” Saravanan said
“Just one? ” I asked
“Yes” Shiva replied
“Let’s get going” I said
We went to the back door after finalising that none spied us at the back door. The trees around the house gave us a cover. We reached the north gate as planned without getting spotted. My men were waiting in the car as planned earlier. I called them out. They said that the road was clear to get going. There was none to spy north gate as we expected. I asked her to get into the car with my men and asked Saravanan to escort them. I signalled them to start off and waited until they went out of my sight.
As I started back to the house I called my team to surround the place. They positioned themselves. The black XYLO was nowhere to be found. They might have left I thought. “Guess we should wait” I said to Shiva as we entered the house through the back door. It took just an hour before the front door received hard slams; my men informed that a guy from black XYLO came in. I went up to the door and opened it up.
“Its late already” he said and continued “Where is she?”
“She is getting dressed up” I said smiling
“What did u say your name was?” he asked
“Gautham………..Gautham IPS” I replied.
