SHRINU

ABHIYA

Shrinu dropped his phone and started to talk to him
SHRINU
(To himself) everything i see is not real . Manu was not real is abhiya real , is Aditya real . Do i actually have this healing power , or am i just crazy now .
Abhiya got really worried for shrinu . She took a day off and went to meet shrinu. She reached to his house . She opened the door seeing shrinu writting names on the wall . Shrinu was writting name of people he knew .
ABHIYA

68.
SHRINU
Hmmm. I think so
ABHIYA
Tell me what happened
Shrinu told the whole story .
ABHIYA (CONT'D)
Are you sure about this . Maybe it had some serious affect on your brains . But i need to conduct some test to confirm it . Otherwise i can't say anything. Till then you can do some digging on this case .
5 days later...
Shrinu went to the landlord to ask if there was a kid living in his floor named Manu . But he found nothing.
Shrinu was now trying to find about manu by other means . Shrinu went to the police office to get more information on the matter .
Shrinu was doing research on the kidnapping cases around the city . He found something interesting,he went to talk to the senior officer incharge .
SHRINU
Sir , i did some digging on the kidnapping cases . I found tha...
SENIOR OFFICER
I think you don't understand what i say to you . Don't waste your time in that matter .
SHRINU
But sir more than 600 kids are missing of the same age . How is that not suspicious
SENIOR OFFICER
(With an aggressive look ) Listen Shrinu i understand you are new and energetic but don't try to know the answer of something that will not let you sleep at night.
SHRINU
What do you mean sir . We should stop the people doing wrong . That is our job right??
69.
SENIOR OFFICER
The world is not black and white Shrinu . I wish it was , i really wish . But it isn't, no one is entirely correct and no one is entirely wrong . One day you will face the same dilemma in life where no option will be the correct answer but you will need to choose one of them .
SHRINU
Sorry sir , but i don't agree with you .
SENIOR OFFICER
I know that , but soon you will agree with me . Now leave .
Shrinu leaves ..
After 3 hours...
The Senior officer is smoking outside. He then see shrinu outside. He calls shrinu ...
SENIOR OFFICER (CONT'D)
Shrinu come here
SHRINU
Yes sir.
SENIOR OFFICER
I know what you are feeling about the cases . But we never find any evidence against anyone , it's like the kids sieze to exist aftet their kidnapping .
SHRINU
Is there no ransom call?
SENIOR OFFICER
Sometimes yes , sometimes no . There is a pattern to all this but Digging deep is of no use . For now stay away from all that and do what you are told to do .
SHRINU
Ok sir
