The Protector

Chap#14 "Starting of a friendship"

He took a few minutes...to grieve...he was frustrated...frustrated that all his efforts went in vain...frustrated that he was not able to fulfill his promise...frustrated that "she got shot"...but within a few seconds all that grief turned into extreme rage...within a fraction of a second he rose up and repeatedly fired in the direction of the bushes...he wasn't even taking aim...anger was not good in his field...it lead to mistakes too...but fuck all the rules...he was angry....and he needed revenge...he ran towards the bushes...the guy had started the car and was going on the road in full speed...sid aimed at his car's tire...it got burst...the car lost its balance....it turned to one side...the man inside was injured but not dead...he came out of the car and started limping and tried to escape....sid could have just shot him...but he wanted that bastard to suffer...so he ran towards him ...he kicked him in his leg and he fell on the ground...now he was dragging himself in backwards direction away from sid...

"Sidhart bhai rehm karo mere pe..." he pleaded.
"rehm karun...tujh pe?" he shouted through gritted teeth.
Sid kicked him ....:"abe haram ke pile...us masoom per goli chalate hue tujhe zra rehm nahi aya...aor tu mujhe aek khoni pe rehm krne bol raha ha?"

He sat near him and held his hair in his hand...right now he was not his normal self there was not an ounce of compassion left in him ....his face of deviod of all the emotions that were there on it a few moments back...of loss ...he had shut down all the pain  ..right now his eyes were cold and his face blank ....:
"us ne kiya bigara tha tera....bol"
He shouted at the top of his voice... his voice cracked...at the end.
The man trembled with fear....he had never seen him this mad.

Sid punched his jaw...one times...two times...three times...untill he became unconscious...

He then closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths...it seemed as if he was trying hard to control himself from killing him ...and it took all the self-control he had to refrain from finishing him off....he then took out his phone to call his colleague.

"Han Rajeev...ye tere area m fuel station ke pass aek bnda chor raha hn...just take him for interrogation...Rustam ka bnda ha...uske narcotics ke bht se ade isko pta hn...just take him man" It was true that Sid had killed a lot of bad guys in his career but never did he try to take justice in his own hands...he always fired in defence...and right now too although he was extremely angry...he took the rational decision to spare his life...the man was important for his mission ....if they succeeded in making him talk ...he could become an important witness... giving them Rustam and then he will slowly take everything from the man who took away his friend and now... suddenly he remembered her....

He ran back towards sana...he delicately lifted her up to examine the wounds...she was bleeding...her whole shirt was soaked...but if he had not gone after that guy first...he would have informed others and sid would have never been able to take her to a hospital in time....

In his field he had examined so many wounds...pulled out so many bullets from the bodies of fellow officers without hesitating for a second but for the first time his hands were shaking....his heart beating fast...he prayed the bullet is not in area of her spine...otherwise she would be paralyzed for life...or her heart in which case she might die...why did she effect him so much...why did he feel so helpless in her case...why was she taking over his mind...why was the thought of losing her killing him....he had no clue ...he just knew he would not be able to handle it if she got hurt.

With his heart beating fast he  turned her slowly and examined the wound...and the next moment he let out a breath he didn't know he was holding....there was no bullet...the bullet just went scraping her back...tearing her skin and probably muscle but it didn't penetrate her body...may be when he rotated her just moments before the shot was fired...he was able to move her away from the bullets trajectory and it just pierced her skin...uski ruki hui sans wapis aa gai...so she just fainted from the fear of getting shot...and because of pain..that happened most of the times...sid immediately lifted her up in his arms and put her in the back seat of his car....he opened the back truck of the car...as most of the gangsters kept a first aid kit in their car as they usually got injured a lot...as expected there was a first aid box in the trunk...now he had to find a safe place to spend the night.
