ACT 2

Scene 1(ISS Headquarters, London)

(Prince took a flight to London goes to ISS [International Secret Service]. On reaching there he met a young lady dressed in a formal uniform of the agency.)

Ashawari: Welcome Sir, do you have an appointment?

Prince: (shows her his badge) I work here lady.

Ashawari: (apologetically) I am sorry sir you see I have been

recruited last month only so l did not identify you in the first place.

Prince: It's okay but where is Amit my friend and the chairperson?

Ashawari: Sorry sir, but there is no man called Amit here and the chairperson is Kartik.

Prince: (gritting teeth) Kartik, when did he become the chairperson?

Ashawari: I don't know sir but when I was recruited last a month there was Kartik as chairperson.

Prince: Okay, take me to him.

Ashawari: just a moment sir, I'll inform him.

Prince: Okay (Ashawari goes inside the room and informs Kartik about Prince).

Kartik: (smiles) Ah... Prince my old friend, let him in.

Ashawari: Yes sir (She escorts Prince inside and then leaves).

Prince: (controlling anger) When did you become the chairperson.

Kartik: Only six months ago. This headquarter was attacked, Amit took some of his men with him to chase enemies away but he died in action, before leaving he told me "if I am not back in Three hours then you take the seat of the chairperson." As you can see for yourself there are more new agents than old whom you are familiar with. If you come across any old agent you may ask the truth from him/her if you don't trust me. I sent you a parcel did you get it?

Prince: Yes, but the parcel was sent by Amit not you.

Kartik: Of course it was made by Amit but I sent it to you. As I told you before this headquarters was attacked six months ago, Amit told me to give that parcel to you so that you may catch the culprit. But after the attack when the building somewhat destroyed I had to repair the damage and the money was given by the insurance company. After the repairs were done I sent the parcel to you.

Prince: Okay, look I am sorry you know about our rivalry of the past.

Kartik: Oh yeah how can I forget that rivalry. But now I need your help in catching this culprit. Allow me to show you his attack pattern (he starts the computer and the projector and then shows the world map having some stars on certain places). These stars indicate the places where our enemies attacked these places are either our headquarters or the homes of some agent of ISS. They attack every six months and it has all been since two years ago. You may now well understand where they will be attacking next.

Prince: I think I know where they will attack next.

Kartik: Then good luck Prince.

Act 2 Scene 2(Taj Hotel, Mumbai, India)

(The terrorists attack the Taj Hotel of Mumbai, India holding foreigners as captives demanding bargain of a person as ransom. The attack is led by Udai adopted the son of Saud.)

Udai: Capture all the foreigners don't let them escape. They are a pest on this Earth terminate them all (suddenly his phone rings) but father I am doing this as you told....ok I'll make the bargain. Adeeb brings a reporter here (Adeeb goes to bring a reporter and soon returns with him) (to the reporter) you will live telecast this message, got it or else you know what we are capable of. Start the camera (the reporter starts the camera). Listen, citizens of Mumbai we are looking for this man (he shows the picture of Ayush in front of the camera) if anyone has seen this man or will see him kindly hand him over to us and you may take back the hostages. (He sends the reporter away). (Saud enters the scene)

Saud: Son what were you going to do. If I hadn't warned you in time then you surely would have killed them all. We want Ayush alive at all costs only he has the formula and the blueprints of the Destructor. Without him, we can never be able to build that war machine. Got it

Udai: Alright father l got your point.

Saud: That's my boy.

Arish: But sahib you just changed the whole plan.

Saud: I know that you idiot I did that because at first, I thought that he is just a scientist but now I know that he is a secret agent of ISS. Udai you gave a perfect speech after my warning. Good, now I'll have to stop this anger of the public which is my responsibility as I am a politician too.

Udai: Good luck, father.

Act 2 Scene 3(Sagar International Airport, Mumbai.)

(Prince descends from the aeroplane where he finds his two assistants waiting for him.)

Prince: So what's the situation down here I mean other than telecast.

Fischer: Sir the situation is far worse than it looks. Sir do you know the politician Ahmed?

Prince: Oh yes, who doesn't know him. What's the matter with him?

Dev: Sir, everything is related to him. This politician Ahmed is an assumed name taken by Saud who is head of the terrorist group which recently attacked our Headquarter of London six months ago. Our special agents tried to find more about him but in vain. We are sure that those attacks were done by him but due to lack of proofs, we are unable to take any action.

Prince: You are kidding, right?

Dev: Sir we are not kidding but are damn serious.

Fischer: Sir he is also known for evading police and secret agents like us. Every time we try to capture him we are fooled. He lures us into his trap. We think we got him every time but are fooled instead of getting him we get one of the men disguised as Saud.

Prince: Then let's not get fooled this time.

Act 2 Scene 4(Sakshi's House)

(The party was on its full swing. Everyone was laughing, dancing, playing games.)

Sakshi: Are you all enjoying? (The crowd shouted yes) I

cannot hear it (the crowd shouted louder) that's the spirit.

Ayush: Sakshi an important work for me has come I need to

go. I hope you'll understand.

Sakshi: You are kidding, right? What work is so important that you have to leave my party halfway?

Ayush: Its highly secret Sakshi, sorry I cannot tell you about it.

Sakshi: (disappointed) Oh yeah, go attend your work then. (Ayush hurriedly leaves). Everyone listen, I hope you all enjoyed the party. Please be free to have dinner before you leave. (Suddenly door explodes and from entrance came men with guns)

Terrorist 1: No one shall move. (He shows the picture of Ayush) has anyone of you seen this man.

Sakshi: (sensing danger she stood her ground) No sir, probably you are at the wrong location.

Terrorist 2: Don't play with us girl or else you and your friends die.

Sakshi: (shocked) Sir, you came intruding in our house by exploding the gates, threatening to kill us and all this for finding one man who isn't here. What made you think that the person you are searching for is or was here?

Terrorist 3: This girl talks too much, should we kill her?

Terrorist 1: No, I think she is witty. Using force everywhere isn't good. (He talks to his group aside) keep an eye on her I think her hiding something (turning towards the students) Alright we leave.

Sakshi: And who will pay for the gates?

Terrorist 1: How much?

Sakshi: Fifteen hundred American dollars.

Terrorist 1: The price is too high.

Sakshi: Who told you to blast the door?

Terrorist 1: Don't push your luck too far girl else consequences would be terrible.

Sakshi: Like hell (she presses a secret button and which made the floor tremble and opened it up. The terrorists fell into that hole and were caged by metal bars which made them imprisoned with high tech laser guns pointing at them every time.) Party is over friends go back to your houses. (Every person was terrified and rushed out immediately) (To herself) Need to inform dad. (She calls him) Damn it, not reachable (she sends a voice message to her father).

Act 2 Scene 5(Ayush's Residence)

(Ayush reaches home but as soon as he reaches home he gets a message about the attack on Sakshi's house)

Ayush: Oh dear it's all because of me. They are tracking me; most probably they want my war robot prototype. Our father told me how destructive it can become if it falls in the wrong hands.

Avanya: Brother are you safe? I heard that there was a terrorist attack on my mistress and your girlfriend's house.

Ayush: Yes Avanya, I was there before the attack but not during the time of the attack. You are doing a great job of keeping an eye on Sakshi by acting as her maid. She is not suspecting a thing which is good for us? Our father Kartik thinks that she needs to be protected because her father Prince is also an ISS agent. She lives alone when her father is out for secret work. The house is totally under automatic defences system with high tech weapons on each floor. There is little possibility of the attacks like this again yet I want you to stay close with her especially when she is out of the house. You know why I am saying this; she might be attacked if she is left alone for a while.

Avanya: Okay brother I can handle one or two easily but

what if there is a horde of them?

Ayush: Then use this (he gives her a small robot). This is a war robot press the button on the backside of the neck and command either to attack or defend. It can follow any one order. If you choose to attack then it will charge towards the enemies and destroy them all but will not be able to defend you on the other hand if choose to defend then no enemy can come near you at least for twenty feet.

Avanya: Oh wow a personal defence robot. Thanks.

Ayush: Mention not but one thing more it runs on battery so you'll have to charge it before using it.

Avanya: Got it.

Ayush: Alright Avanya I have some work to do. Will you excuse me?

Avanya: Go ahead, brother.

(Ayush goes into his room to see the footage of the attack on Sakshi's house. But the search was futile as every time he tried to look on the terrorist the image became blurred.)
