house of the Death

The person finally caught.

The person finally caught. 

It is nearly morning and Dhiraj has just left the dance bar.Mr.Jones was pretty much happy that his plan is working and he is happy to wrap Dhiraj in his trap. The sun is about to rise and the entire Jahar-Nama has started changing. The entire area has changed into a barren and deserted place. The  shops have started closing and people are going back to their homes. The place which is so illuminated with light at night and was like a fair is now changing into a dull and deserted place where hardly any people live and is like the place of the previous day. With the arrival of daylight, the entire Jahar-Nama area has changed and no one can recognize and realize what a place it turns in the darkness of night.

BothMr. Nirmal and Mr.Charles Joneshas completed their promise and work, and so goes back to their respective room and Jignesh is the last person to enter the hotel. He is so much pleased about the last night that he is still in his world of fantasy and dream. According to Jigneshhe has more pleasure the last night on his second visit to the brothel house than his first visit. So it takes a longer time for Jignesh to recover from his World of pleasure, fantasy, and dream and come back to the real world. Hence, like the previous, day Jignesh joins the meeting on Mr. Jones’s room late and both Mr. Nirmal and Mr. Jones is waiting for him. Finally, Jignesh enters the room and takes his seat on the chair. Thereupon Mr. Charles Jones announces the good news that the person has fallen in the trap and his name is Dhiraj. Mr. Jones also says that Dhiraj has not suspected me and he has no idea that he has fallen in our trap. So, the first phase of the plan is completed successfully and now it is time for the penultimate stage of the plan. We have to be very cautious at this stage and we can not afford any mistake as it may lead to the failure of the entire plan and may even cause our lives. Mr. Jones explains the second stage of the plan to his partners carefully and both Jignesh and Mr. Nirmal are listening to it with utter concentration. All three of them present inside the room knows that if everything goes well they will be able to catch him and know what he was doing that night in the Singhania house.

So, the night approaches and it is time that the trio of Mr. Charles Jones, Mr. Nirmal, and Jignesh bring forth their plans and work according to the advice given by Mr. Jones. So Mr. Jones move towards the dance bar in order to meet Dhiraj so that he can proceed with his plan further. When he reaches the bar he sees Dhiraj is sitting inside the bar on his usual table. Mr. Jones carefully examine the surroundings and see that if Dhiraj is alone or he is accompanied by his companions. Mr. Jones is relieved to find that he is alone in the bar and has no other members along with him. So, he goes inside the bar to talk with Dhiraj and proceed with his plan. When he goes inside he has a casual handshake and greeting with Dhiraj and they both have a casual talk at first. Then Mr. Jones asks Dhiraj about the consignment of drugs which he has promised to deliver by today. To which Dhiraj's face turns pale which is glowing like a moonlight so far. Mr. Jones realized something is wrong and he requested Dhiraj to tell him the truth and if he is able to gather the required number of the consignment or not? To which Dhiraj replied with a dull voice,

“I have tried my best to get the consignment ready for you by today. But I am sorry to say that I am unable to arrange it and get ready by today. I am sorry for not fulfilling your order and is myself feeling shame that I am unable to complete the promise which I have given to you.”

Mr. Jones’s face turns pale and he is realizing that the plan is on the verge of failure. He can see in front of his eyes the failure of the entire plan and all their efforts. He is not in the real world for a time being and then suddenly Mr. Jones heard the laughter of someone who is coming from the front where Dhiraj is sitting. He returns to the real world and sees Dhiraj is laughing. By seeing this Mr. Jones get furious with anger and are about to shout at him when Dhiraj replies,

“I am just making fun of you. I just want to see your reaction after hearing this. But you do not have to worry as once I make a promise I complete it at anycast. So you are right I have arranged the consignment and it will be delivered once I get my payment.”

After hearing this from Dhiraj Mr. Jones gets his conscious back. Then both of them laugh and have a good conversation among themselves. Now, it is time for the next part of the plan. His phone rings and it is Mr. Shetty (Jignesh) who is calling. Mr. Jones pick up the phone and starts speaking,

“Hello, Yes Mr. Shetty how are you. Yes, your drug consignment is ready. What you can not come to the dance bar. Okay, I will deliver the consignment to the address you send me.”

After the conversation, Mr. Jones requested Dhiraj to come with him to the desired location.  Dhiraj hesitates a bit at first because Mr. Jones is an unknown person to him and Dhiraj does not know him for more than a day.  But Mr. Jones keeps on requesting him with a mix of emotions as “if you do not come with me I will have to face a huge loss in my business. Do you want your friend to face such a loss in his business? I guess not.”

Dhiraj can not refuse Mr. Jones's proposal especially after he brought an emotional touch of friendship in his speech. It is nearly 11 o’clock at night when Mr. Charles Jones and Dhiraj come out of the dance bar and start proceeding towards the car which is already waiting outside the main entrance of Jahar-Nama. It is the part of Mr. Jones's plan as he has only rented the car and asked the driver to park it outside the entrance of the place. The driver is actually Mr. Jones's personal driver and he has also helped him with solving different cases earlier also. Mr. Jones has already explained to him the entire plan in detail and what he has to do in it and what will be his role? Subsequently, both Mr. Jones and Dhiraj enter into the car. Mr. Jones gives the driver a card in which the address of the area where they have to go is written. Mr. Jones performs this activity so that Dhiraj does not suspect him and realizes that he has fallen in a trap and tries to run from there which will be harmful to all the members of the team who are part of his plan.

It takes them about one and a half hours to reach the final destination where the penultimate stage of the plan has to be performed. It is a factory which is located in an interior area in a rural place. The place is batten and deserted and one can hardly see the trace of any human life there. This rose Dhiraj's suspicion and he asked why he has brought him to such a barren and deserted factory, to which Mr. Jones replies,

“Mr. Shetty is a well-known and reputed personally in society. No one knows about his illegal activities and that he is a drug dealer. If people come to know about all this, his reputation in the society will hamper. So he has chosen this barren and deserted factory so that no one comes to know about his illegal activities and he can continue with his business.”

After hearing this from Mr. Jones Dhiraj looks quite satisfied. He can not even think that he has been trapped and on the other hand, his desire to earn money for him to go inside the factory. Hence, Mr. Jones and Dhiraj enter the abandoned factory. As soon as they enter the factory the driver slowly locked the entrance so that no one can come out of there until he gets signaled by Mr. Charles Jones.

It looks like a warehouse that is not in use for a longer period of time. Dhiraj goes and stands in the middle of the warehouse to have a look at the surrounding. The area is covered in dust and there is nothing special there that confirms that it is in the use as a storehouse for drugs. There are no curtains or boxes present inside the factory. There are only a few broken machines present inside the factory. Dhiraj gets a bit confused and when he is thinking about the place he sees two men coming towards him. They have just entered the area from a nearby room which is the only room separated in the entire factory. The factory is too old which can be guessed from its old pillars and design. Dhiraj has just completed examining the entire area when he sees the two-person Mr. Nirmal and Jignesh has come too close to him. Dhiraj sees a pistol in Mr. Nirmal's hand and when he is about to take out his pistol he feels someone push him from the back and pin him down. Before he can do anything he feels his hands are tied and his legs are also tied, Someone is searching his pocket and taking out his cell phone and pistol, keeping them out in a broken table which is far from his reach. Now Dhiraj realizes that he is in great trouble and the urge for earning extra money has brought him here. He can do nothing about it now and it is too late for him to act. He also understood that the entire thing which is happening from last night is a trap for catching him and no consignment is to be delivered here.

When Dhiraj is thinking about all this he heard a voice coming from his front. He looks up and in a dim light which is the only light glowing in the entire area he sees the face of Mr. Jones and three other people speaking among themselves. Mr. Jones looks at him and began speaking,

“You (Dhiraj) has understood until now that the entire thing is a drama which is a planned to trap you and bring you here into this factory. There is no consignment to be delivered here and no Mr. Shetty will come here. Now you have two options left: either to cooperate with us or to die in this place without food and water. Which one to choose is entirely your choice.”

Mr. Charles Jones asked his first question to Dhiraj, “What are you doing in the Singhania house at Megh Gang a few weeks back?”

But Dhiraj does not utter a single word. So, Mr. Jones signal Mr. Nirmal to fire a bullet. Hence Mr. Nirmal says while reloading his pistol,

“Will you answer or I will shoot you and you will die at once.”

Dhiraj does not utter a single word and hence thereafter, Mr. Nirmal fired a bullet from his gun which goes passed Dhiraj touching his hat. Dhiraj is quite startled by this move and so Mr. Jones repeats his question again. Dhiraj in a horrified voice replied,

“I have gone to Megh Gang to get back my payments of drugs which are being pending for a few months.”

Mr. Jones now asked his second question to Dhiraj,

“To whom you owe the money? What is his name?”

Dhiraj again does not utter a single word and keep himself numb. He has understood that none of them will kill him without knowing the answer. So, it is best to stay quiet and not answering the question asked by Mr. Jones. This irritated Mr. Jones to a great extent and he speaks,

“So, I see. You have decided to not answer my question. And you think this strategy will help you. I can see you are still wearing the hat which is the last gift from your father and which is his last memory. I know you love it more than your life. So Jignesh takes his hat. And now if you do not reply I will, unfortunately, have to burn it.”

Subsequently, Jignesh takes the hat from Dhiraj's head and is about to burn it by using his lighter. When Dhiraj replies “stop! I will answer all of your questions. I request you not to destroy the hat. I can not bear it.”

So, Mr. Charles Jones again repeats his question.

“To whom you have gone to collect your payment? What is his name?”

To this question Dhiraj replies,

“I do not know his name. But he is a servant in Mr. Singhania's house. He is an old man and he is in his sixties. He is working in the Singhania house for quite a long time. He is one of my old customers and is taking drugs from me for more than seven years or so. I do not know anything more about the individual as in our business we do not enquire much about our clients.”

Mr. Charles Jones has got his answer so he points to Mr. Nirmal with his hand. Mr. Nirmal take out a while color handkerchief from his pocket and passed it to Mr. Charles Jones. He added a little bit of chloroform to it and make his movement toward Dhiraj. He bent down to him and speaks,

“Thanks for answering my questions. It is very kind of you to answer my question. Now it is time for you to sleep. You will wake up after two-three hours when we will be gone far from here.”

So, he put the handkerchief with chloroform near his nose so that he goes to sleep and they can go from there. Then, Mr. Jones untie his hands and legs so that he can get out of there after Dhiraj gets his conscious back. He left all the belonging of Dhiraj on the broken table including his hat, cell phone, and pistol. Then he messages his driver to open the factory gate which he has locked on Mr. Jones’s advice. Now they all leave the place and go back to Megh Gang.
