ACT 3

Scene 1(Terrorist hideout, South Africa)

(It's been a week since Udai ordered to capture Ayush but the terrorists gone for looking for him are held as captives in Sakshi's house unknown to other terrorists)

Udai: Where the hell did they go? The whole troop is gone

missing.

Arish: Sahib what is the matter? Why you are so furious?

Udai: You are really an idiotic fellow don't you know my troops aren't back yet and there is no news from them also.

Arish: Sahib shall I say something?

Udai: Only say if it makes sense else don't say anything.

Arish: It's related to your men whom you sent to find Ayush.

Udai: Really, if I find you lying then I'll slice you into half.

Arish: And if I don't.

Udai: Then you'll be promoted.

Arish: Sahib you said your men were missing from one week, according to our tracking system they all were seen in Mumbai Sector twelve. The house belongs to some person called Prince, he is a businessman. They all are missing from that location.

Udai: I'll send a few of my men to that location and will go there myself to check the authenticity of your words. (He orders his men to group themselves with arms.)

ACT 3 Scene 2(Sakshi's House)

(Sakshi was crestfallen after seeing the destruction caused by the terrorist and her father hasn't returned yet. Avanya tries to console her.)

Avanya: Don't give up hope. The terrorists who attacked us are held captive in the basement. There is no need to worry.

Sakshi: I know that Avanya but more will be coming to find them and my dad isn't home. Anyway just give them enough food to sustain themselves. And also mix some sleeping pills in it so that they create havoc.

Avanya: Okay but why are you so generous towards them. They are terrorists, killing innocent people. Let them suffer and die.

Sakshi: I know they are bad people but we are not. This act of ours makes us different from them. A good person is selfless and helps the bad person if he is in need while on the other hand, a bad person is selfish who wants to fulfil his/her desires first. Those people kill innocents in the name of religion to show their dominance over other innocent people. But we do not want to kill them just for revenge.

Avanya: Okay Sakshi I got your point.

Sakshi: (calls her father) Hello dad, some terrorists attacked our house. But thanks to our defences they are being held captive in the basement

Prince: (on the phone) what terrorist attacked our house? What for?

Sakshi: They were looking for Ayush but I told them he was not there and I don't know him. But they forced me to speak so l started our defence mechanism.

Prince: Good job, but beware there will be more coming. I am coming home by taking the next flight.

Sakshi: Come as soon as possible dad the house has become a mess.

Act 3 Scene 3(Ayush's Residence)

(Ayush was tired after working all day and tried to have a nap to give rest to his body. As soon as he tried to sleep he heard gunshots in the nearby lane. He slowly peeked through the window blinds. And what he saw was a nightmare for him. He saw that the houses in the neighbourhood were burned, men and children were being butchered, and women were dragged to isolated places. Screams and shouts were heard in the whole neighbourhood. He took out his sniper rifle from his cupboard shot three terrorists down but one target missed and he saw Ayush shooting).

Ayush: Oh crap, looks like he had seen me better prepare myself. (the gate was blasted) oh god, they are here.

Udai: (shouts) Ayush we know you are somewhere here. (He divides his men to search him). Don't be shy kid, come out and surrender yourself and we promise not to hurt you but if you force us to do so then we will hurt you badly and then we will take you to our master. Either way, you are going to him. The choice is yours either you surrender and get to our master unhurt or force us to hurt you and then take you to our master.

(Ayush silently escapes from the back door taking every possible thing that may benefit the terrorists. Unfortunately, he left back the photograph of his and Sakshi in the school canteen. One of the terrorists finds that photograph and takes it to his captain.)

Terrorist: Sir we cannot find Ayush but we found this photograph of his with a girl near his bed.

Udai: Very well, take your men to locate this girl's house find her. If you find her lying terminate her and if you get enough information then also terminate her.

Act 3 Scene 4(Prince's House)

(The group of terrorists broke into Prince's house and held captive his daughter. After minutes or so Prince returns and seeing his daughter held captive pulls out his gun and aims at the terrorist who held Sakshi captive.)

Prince: Leave my daughter alone, you scoundrel.

Captain Terrorist: Look what do we have here? A father who is a spy agent is here to rescue his daughter. (He laughs) Put your gun down, we will send her to you once we are finished with her. Your defence mechanism is good. Very few people have this rare technology but we had to shut it down or else it would have taken our lives which is very dear to us.

Prince: You know this type of defence can only be shut down who know this technology. You know well about these defences, tell me who you are.

Captain Terrorist:(unmasks himself) Now do you recognize me?

Prince: (Shocked) No it cannot be. You were Amit's left hand. Then why have you dishonoured him and your position?

Captain Terrorist: You little fool, you are inexperienced to know this. I had got into the same situation as this. It's always been like this. When you will come to our age, you too will join us, my friend. (Every terrorist unmasks himself).

Prince: (shocked again) No it cannot be you all worked for ISS. That's the reason why I don't get to see any of the old members of the agency. You all worked with the terrorists telling them our ways of attack and counter-attack to it.

Captain Terrorist: (chuckles) Yes, that's true. Now step aside. We promise not to hurt your daughter until and unless she cooperates.

Prince: If you think you can just go away and take my daughter, then let me tell you that you are thinking wrong.

Sakshi: Leave me alone.

Captain Terrorist: (grimly) don't act smart girl or the consequences would be terrible even your father will not be able to save you.

(A shot was fired at the hands of the captain which made him bleed. Several shots were fired on the other terrorists which killed them instantly leaving captain terrorist alone)

Captain Terrorist: (terrified) who's there?

(A voice was heard of a man upstairs near a window.)

Ayush: Somebody told me that you were looking for me. Here I am.

Captain Terrorist: You son of a b>>>>h. (Sakshi bit him on his hands and escapes from his clutches) Hey, that's not fair.

Ayush: Now tell me why you were searching for me?

Captain Terrorist: It's none of your business.

Ayush: Of course it is. If it's not my business then you would not look for me in the whole world killing innocents.

Captain Terrorist: You dumb don't you know what power lies in that robot you made.

Ayush: (scratching head) A robot hmm...I built, repaired and destroyed many. Which one are you talking about can you please describe?

Captain Terrorist:* (hitting his head with his hand) the robot is a small Destructive machine when commanded can take a human-size form and can destroy the target or defend a person.

Ayush: Oh that, I destroyed it only last week I know that you might be coming for me to get that robot so I destroyed it. It's beyond repair now and if by any means you can repair it which I think is impossible then also you need certain locks to unlock. Unlocking one will get you to unlock other if you set it right which impossible for a person to do who does not know that robot so give up hope that you will get the robot. And if we talk about its blueprints then it's inside my head not on any paper

Captain Terrorist: You are kidding right. As I heard that robot cannot be destroyed.

Ayush: Who built that robot, me, who knows its weakness and strengths, me. I know that robot inside out more than any other living being on this earth.

(Udai enters the scene with a disguise and catches hold of Ayush)

Udai: Not so soon brother, we have some talk to do. Everyone get hold of them. (the whole terrorist group surrounds the three people.) you alright?

Captain Terrorist: Yes sir they probably got me if you haven't got here in time.

(Avanya is watching the whole scene stealthily, hiding in the shadows. She took out the Robot which Ayush gave her and commands it to attack the terrorists.)

Avanya: Leave them alone you wretched fools.

Udai: Look what do we have here a little girl coming to save her family? Facing an entire group of terrorist all alone.

Avanya: By the way you are wrong. (She shifts aside and the robot comes to face the terrorist who starts shooting at the terrorists)

Udai: (to his group) cover me, let's leave. Retreating is a better strategy than to face imminent death. (Then they leave in hurry).

Prince: Well done Avanya but where did you get that robot from?

Ayush: I gave her sir.

Prince: You, how can you get this type of weapon?

Ayush: Sir I created it. It's only a prototype that you see not the original robot which is far more dangerous than this. That robot is at ISS headquarters, London is unfinished right now.

Prince: (shocked) ISS you said, how do you know about it? (To himself) Today is rather a shocking day.

Ayush: So it seems our father didn't tell you our secret. Well, we are children of Kartik who is the chairperson of ISS headquarters London and we both are undercover agents like you.

Prince: Undercover agents but it is a rule that no new person shall be recruited below the age of twenty-five and you are twenty-two and your sister somewhat twenty.

Ayush: Let me clarify your doubts, sir. There have amendments being done in everything even in rules. New rules have been made from the last six months. Everything is changed after that attack on the headquarter six months ago. That's why you were seeing new faces when you visited my father.

Sakshi: If everyone is a spy agent then can I also become a spy agent likes you all.

(The three agents in unison "No")

Ayush: We are not harsh on you Sakshi but certain things

are not under our control.

Act 3 Scene 5(Sakshi's Classroom)

(Sakshi is very excited to be back in her college. But when she enters her classroom she is shocked to see the decoration done for her birthday. Every student wishes her and Mr Rajesh gives her a gift)

Sakshi: (accepts the gift) Thank you, friends and sir. I nearly forgot about my birthday. (Ayush smiles at this statement of her)

Ayush: Brought any gift for me?

Sakshi: Oh yes (she kisses him on his cheek) here it is.

Ayush: Well that was.....

Sakshi: (cutting him) Lovely, amazing, fantastic.

Ayush: Nothing from what you said. I was going to that it was sweet of you.

Mr Rajesh: (interrupting) now now if all the gifts, return gifts and wishing have been given then let's focus on studies.

Ayush: (pleading) Oh sir please give us an excuse for a day.

Mr Rajesh: No more excuses you have already wasted more than half of my period.
