Chapter 1
THE BEGINNINGS
2430 CE
Bangalore , India
Friday Sunset
Darkness had embraced the grounds. It was the beginning of the night, and their work had just begun. Every day was getting harder for them. It wasn’t like before anymore. There were days, when work was in abundance, and completing tasks was easy. But now, Vikas and all others like him were continuously on the run. The work had become tougher, and the eyes of the law had made the business a lot lesser than before. It was just the change of shifts that gave them some chance to sneak in, if at all they could.
“Once we are there, just take care of Visual Information Boxes”, Vikas spoke in whispers as he turned back slowly in darkness towards the huge guy behind him. His voice was muffled, and had hoarseness, even in a whisper. He continued, “There are many VIBs around there. These are the spy boxes with stealth. You won’t be able to see them, but, they record your movements all the time. They transmit visual signals to their security masters even in the dark so that they know what is happening there”
“Yes, but how do we get in?” Rudra wore a frustrated look on his face. A tall man with long hair, bouncing in locks down his neck, and strewn across his chest, Rudra inspired awe at the very first look. A frightening aura surrounded him. As he moved, every inch of his ripped muscles shone with strength in the grey moonlight. He moved ahead with caution. Commotion meant confusion and a chance for the enemies to become alerted. He wanted to take them unawares.
Security Gates: Around the same time
Tara approached the guards in an exceedingly sumptuous dress. The alert security guard tried not to get carried off into the lures of her flesh, but she was too hard to resist. He approached her and asked what she was up to at this odd hour, and that too alone!
The scornful security officer and his assistant watched the VIB signals far away in central Bangalore. “He is a dog. He doesn’t know is that papa is watching. If he lays her, it’s going to be the last night of his job.” The security officer told his assistant. While both shared a laugh at the prospect of another entertaining night, Tara had already taken care of this.
Just as Tara started speaking to the guard, Trishna used a really easy process to ‘hack’ the VIBs signals through her frequency matcher and give a false transmission to the security officers. As the security officers saw the guard speak to Tara and shoo her away, in reality, something else was going on at the security gates.
Tara told the guard that she was thirsty. She said that she had lost her way and it was really lonely! She was alone and frightened! The guard calmed her and asked her to sit as he got some water for her. As he returned and approached her with water, Tara smiled. He looked in her eyes. There was a brilliant shine there – almost frightening. As he looked at her again, he froze……..
Meanwhile, Vikas pacified the agitated Rudra. “Don’t worry about getting in Rudra. Tara and Trishna might have taken care of that. Both the sisters are the best the world has in their specializations - the first one at casting spells and the second one at illusions.” Vikas sounded like a triumphant king. “Your work is just to be aware of any changes that the enemy makes in their way of working and see that everything goes smoothly.”
By the time they reached the security gates Trishna and Tara had done their job. The illusion was made and stealth of their activities was complete and impermeable. The guards were taken care of.
As Vikas rose to the ground level with the last step, he could clearly see the illuminated board in front of him. His destination.
BANNERGHATTA CREMATORIUM
This project would get him 4.5 million rupees. It wasn’t a tough task, but the risk involved was a little high. The deal was always fixed on the need and urgency of the client. The higher the need, the higher the deal amount.
They had finished up all the preparations in the morning. It was marvelous work.

Vikas was a team leader; one of the last ones of his science. He was powerful, and knowledgeable. However, there was a time when he used to go to the school, and like all the other kids, he had a dream.He dreamt to be an aircraft designer and make new designs for the aircrafts. But all that was past, and here he was tonight; with one of his usual duties. His target today was Bangalore – the busiest of the global conurbations, and ,unarguably, the most secured and controlled.
“Once we are there, just take care of Visual Information Boxes”, Vikas spoke in whispers as he turned back slowly in darkness towards the huge guy behind him.
