It was raining heavily in the morning hours, while a police jeep stopped at the underpopulated secluded area away from the dilapidated highway.

The DCP, Mr. Aman Bedi got out of the jeep with his rain jacket on, as he rushed to the spot. He saw a man dead on the ground with face facing the ground.

"Damn!!!" He clutched his temples, as he looked towards his side at Aditya, who was looking at the body through his wet hair strands over his eyes, clutching the pistol in his hands.

"Aditya!!"

He didn't give any response, while the DCP looked at the other police officers there.

"How did this happen??" He looked at Ravi Saxena, the Inspector of Police, "Ravi, how did you all let this happen? It was a controlled location right?? And didn't you check the area clearance before the operation?"

He turned at the other officers, "What did you all come here for?? Stand and sight-see the location?? ACP Hooda is new to Mumbai, and he came here especially for this operation. I wanted you officers to assist him and how did you let this happen??"

"Sir, we were damn sure, there would be no one at this location. We usually conduct all our encounters here only. I have no idea why did this man come to this place first of all. This place even has a barrier. And to our bad luck, he was wearing exactly the same colored shirt as Christopher. Before we could act, it was late...and..."

The DCP shouted, "You are giving explanations like school kids!! You had to be alert, not blame your luck for this! Idiots!! Well, now what's the status of Christopher??"

"Sir, he couldn't run far. Our officers caught him."

"Good." He looked at the body on the ground, "Is his death confirmed?"

"I killed him!" Aditya said, while the DCP looked at him with a pensive look.

"In one shot itself?" The DCP asked in a low tone, while Ravi answered, "It was a head shot, Sir."

The DCP closed his eyes with an irritated look, while he turned at his other officers, "Enquire about this guy's details. Why did he come here and such...I need it immediately!"

He turned at Aditya and patted his shoulder, "Aditya, you need not panic. It's not your fault. We will handle this. You first relax and get back to your quarters. Leave the place now."

Aditya failed to leave, as he looked at the DCP, "I killed him. Killed a commoner!"

"Aditya..." The DCP took him away from that spot, "Fine Aditya. But, we have to now see what we can do. Just give us some time. You please leave now. We will handle this."

The DCP called one of the constables from there, "Take ACP Hooda to his quarters. Go!"

Aditya was taken reluctantly from that location in the jeep, while his eyes were still at the dead guy.

The DCP turned back and walked forward looking at the body.

He looked around and spotted a car far away outside the barbed wire barrier.

"Ravi!!" He called out to the Inspector and he came to him.

"Check that car. What is it doing there??"

"Yes Sir." Ravi left the place, and came back to the DCP after some minutes.

"Sir, that is this guy's car. There is his ID card and some bags in it."

"Okayy..." The DCP looked at the body and that car, while he surveyed the area around them.

He looked at Ravi as he said, "Destroy the body!"
