can handle that, David. Your team will handle the situation outside. I will arrange for another NSG team to look after President Ajaysingh's security here. We need to keep changing his bunker every three hours,'' Col Pathak responded.
As soon as the meeting concluded, Ajaysingh Chauhan came up to David and whispered in his ears. ''I will maintain a contact with you throughout. We are not just going to act like puppets following someone's irrational orders.'' He paused.
''Find the bastard who started a fire in my house and bring him to me.''
Chapter 20
David and his team set out in the direction of 28 ° 31′ 27.68″ N, 77° 11′ 6.89″ E - a place which their navigation system described as the 'Qutub Minar Complex'. David had made sure the President was totally secure and being monitored every second by his colleagues at the headquarters. Although, a strange thing had struck him when he was leaving the president's bunker.
''You have any idea why we are heading towards the Qutub Minar?'' Raghav asked, shifting to make himself comfortable in his seat.
''I am as confused as you are. I don't understand what kind of game is this lunatic playing. As soon as we have that hacker, we are going for alternate plans to take over the Wheeler Island facility. Until then, we have no option but to stick to what he has asked us to do. He might be monitoring us,'' replied David doing a quick check of his ammunition. He made a mental note to ask for additional ammunition and medical supplies from the HQ after reaching the location given by their mysterious caller.
''Do we have enough backup in case of any emergency, David?'' Raghav was not stressed, but this was the first time he was working with David.
''Yeah! That truck following us is carrying 20 NSG commandos with sophisticated weapons. I have also asked the local police near the Qutub Complex to seal off a 1 km perimeter. Besides, you can always count on my team riding in that vehicle ahead of us,'' David reassured with a playful punch on Raghav's arm.
It was almost 10.00 pm as they cruised through the quiet and serene streets of Southern Delhi. As they neared the oldest stone tower in the history of the capital, the magnificent Minar came into view, shining in the moonlight. Most of the tourists missed the beauty of this monument during the night time. Involuntarily neglecting the passing scenery, David's mind wandered back to the thing that had caught his eye when he was leaving the bunker. He had seen Ajaysingh slip a hand inside his pocket and quickly slide his mobile out. Typing a text hurriedly, the President had put the cell phone back in his pocket.
What was the mysterious look on the President's face back at the Rashtrapati Bhawan when he had heard the tape- that look of fleeting recognition? Doubts buffered in David's mind as their destination approached. He looked away from the darkly opaque world beyond the windscreen where the wipers fought a useless battle with the oncoming droplets of mild rain. David did have a strong reason for doubting Ajaysingh Chauhan. It was an incident known only to a few people like David that had occurred 16 years ago.
A cracking voice from the radio cleared the cloud of doubts in David's mind.
''The local police just reported in, Sir. There is certainly something dangerous going on at the Qutub complex.''

''Salam-Vale-Kum, Bhaijaan''
''Valeikum-As-Salam,'' came Muhammed's terse reply. On the other end of the satellite phone was Abbaz.
Abbaz had secured the entire Wheeler island perimeter and although he had only 4 men at his disposal, they were highly capable and extremely trained. ''What's the situation in the capital?'' asked Abbaz.
''So far so good. They have made their move and are heading towards the Qutub Minar. I am sure they must be working on how to recapture the Wheeler Island facility. But as long as they don't know the exact number of terrorists on the island, they won't make a move. They know
