Chapter 9

  Mama ji was sitting next to Amit. He was glad that he had reached Amit in time and also that he had asked for official help in the matter which had an inquiry going in the related matter since two years. Even though nothing substantial ever came up but it was made sure the people involved in the inquiry that there is some very deep conspiracy going on. The extent of it and the danger it posed had not been unearthed but something was going on. This was a disadvantage of involving asking for help from the government. If there is something they do not understand they see it as danger for themselves. He knew that people involved in this case were far from dangerous but Amit had done something which had angered the usually calm elephant. And he knew once an elephant is stirred up it takes a lot of effort to pacify him. And this is what happened in this case.

  Amit became involved in this case when he had an accident and was saved by one of them. But when he went to of their places which even mama ji has not be fortunate of see he did something which he would have been better off by not doing. The actual events were unknown to him but the amount of pressure being put up by them on Amit has made it clear that they want this matter to be dead and buried for ever. And this is exactly what he is ought to stop. He has to stop anything from happening to Amit. He is too precious for his family. He cannot allow anything too happen to him. But since last month he had been told by various sources that the danger level around Amit is increasing and it would be better that Amit stops his treatment and investigation. He had tried different things to stop Amit from doing what he was doing but he was stubborn and had unknowingly invited danger to himself. Now is the time coming when his resources and tack would be tested more than ever and he would be very sorry if was found wanted. But he knew that the possibility of him be found wanted is very much. He knew them. He knew they had never failed all the centuries they been in existence. And he prayed that they would see sense in not harming Amit and leave in peace because he knew that they will never be able to win by force. They were mightier than all the forces of world combined. They were the only valid force on earth. They were keeper of the ancient knowledge and owner of real power. They were the ones world once knew and dreaded. Now they are after someone he cared for and he knew he would never be able to keep them from taking him.
