AT THE STATION, 2:00 PM

Agni was discussing with selvam about another case, whereas Gowtham was going through the report of Rohan's and Khatija's.

In a while, three boys entered the station hesitantly. They all were in their mid 20s, Gowtham looked up to see the boys and called them to his table as he knew those guys were Rohan's friends and he was the one who called them for investigation.

Gowtham: "Neenga mattum ah vandhirukinga?" He asked signaling them to sit down. Those guys nodded their head mumbling "Yes, sir" and sat on the chair opposite to him. He then , went inside and informed Agni about their arrival.

Both Agni and Gowtham came to Gowtham's table, Agni leaned his back on the table facing the boys and asked Gowtham to sit. The boys felt intimidated by Gowtham and Agni.

Boy 1: "Sir, Avan murder kum engalukum oru samandhamum ila" he said nervously, earning a silent stare from Agni.

Gowtham: "Una naanga onnumey kekaley da...nee en ivvlo padhatta padra?" He asked casually turning the recorder on, as it was an investigation procedure.

The boy gulped hard wiping his sweaty palms on his pant.

Gowtham: "moonu perum unga peru ena nu sollunga?"

The boys introduced themselves as Preetam, Ranjith and Julian.

Agni: "Night club la irundhu yapo kelambuninga?" He asked crossing his arms across his chest.

Ranjith: "Oru...1 AM irukun,sir" he said looking at Agni, who cocked an Eyebrow at him.

Agni: "Rohan?"

Ranjith: "Avan.....exact time therila sir but avan enga kita kelamburenu sollala" he said thoughtfully processing the other day's event.

Agni: "Seri sollala...Avan thaniya engayo ponaney adhu yapo?" He asked in a very calm tone.

Ranjith maintained his silence as he was trying to recollect. But Julian interrupted his thoughts,

Julian: "sir, I'm not sure but it might be around 40-45 mins before we left"

Agni: "Hmmm...." He slowly nodded his head, thinking. "Ena sollitu, avan thaniya ponan?"

Julian: "Adhu...avanoda wallet car la vachadha sonnan...adha eduka porenu sonnan"

Agni: "Romba nerama...avan varala? Apo avan kaanom nu thedalaya? Avan ilana anaiku yaaru Bill pay pana?" He bombarded them with questions.

Julian: "To be Frank, Nanga perusa thedala sir, because he does this often sollikama engayaachum poiruvan...aprm paatha mrng Endha ponnu kudayaachum irupan-" he was interrupted by Preetam, who nudged his arm slightly which was noticed by Gowtham and Agni.

Gowtham: "Inga irundhu olunga ponum nu unaku aasa ilaya?" He stared at him, making him to silently lower his head. "Periya uthamana pathi poiya sollitan avan... oorukey therinja unmaiya thana sollran...aprm ena? Silent ah okkaru" he threatened preetam and signaled Julian to continue.

Julian: "Adhan sir, mrng engayaachum irupan. So, apdithan irukum nu nenachu perusa thedala...but veliya poi paatha avan Car ellam angaye than irundhadhu...Club full ah thedi paathom ...ila...aprm than avan phone car ku keela irukuradha notice panom...aprm ah Uncle ku phone pani sonnom." He answered genuinely, Earning a hum from Agni.
