Arrest

Anya

The girl Mia was clearly in distress and it only triggered the anger inside her. Such cases affected her a lot. They increased her nightmares and she felt like beating the shit out of the assholes who tried to sexually assault anyone.

Bloody motherfuckers! She totally hated the rapists and people who attempted rape. According to her they were the scum of this planet, lowest of the low!!

Once Mia’s medical report was in, they arrested Sushant. The guy was pissed off. Apparently the guy’s dad had some very strong political connections. Bloody rich assholes!!

She needed Mia to come in for some questioning. She called the number given on Mia’s file but the phone was switched off. She called Anand (Andy).

“Hi!” Said Andy.

“Hey! Is this Mr Anand Gore?”

“Yes!”

“PSI Anya here. We have caught the culprit.”

“Wow! That was quick. I thought our cops were slow.”

“Excuse me?”

“Sorry, I was kidding,” his tone changed. Sounded serious. “What next?”

She dropped the matter. What was the use arguing about it? She knew what the stereotype was and frankly her own fraternity was responsible for this belief.

In her mind, her goal was clear. Crime was her only enemy.

“I tried calling Mia but her phone was switched off. We have arrested Sushant. Please be available for any further questioning.”

“She is suffering from a nervous breakdown. Her phone is switched off. Can we avoid getting her for the questioning right now?”

“Sorry. I will need to follow the procedure.” Again feeling sad for the girl but being a cop meant working without letting your feelings interfere. “Since you were the one who got her to file the FIR (First Information Report), you can accompany her. I know this can be difficult for a person suffering from trauma but it needs to be done.”

“Ok ba..,” said Andy and disconnected before completing the sentence.

“Strange guy!” She kept her phone aside and continued her work.

There were a few cases that needed her attention and she had no interest in wasting her thoughts and energy on unimportant subjects.

Yet, the boy’s face kept resurfacing in her head at weirdest of the moments. She felt a connection with him but couldn’t understand why. Her instincts had helped her survive many tricky situations before and also helped her to solve a few cases.

She might need to call the guy again. There was something in him that kept him in her constant musings. Especially his eyes.

She heard someone knock at her cabin door. “Yes?”

“Madam, we need you to accompany the squad. Might have to arrest a woman.”

“Sure. Let’s go.” She picked up her service glock and joined her coworkers in the old creaky government issued jeep.

Andy

His phone rang showing an unknown landline number. On attending the call, the voice of the sexy cop felt like music to his ears. He pictured her in her cabin with her bountiful ass perched on her desk. The distracting image played havoc with his hormones. With immeasurable control he spoke to her without making a fool of himself.

“Ok ba…” Fuck! He disconnected before he completed his sentence calling her babes.

He would need to be extra careful. He wanted to see the real person behind the strict impenetrable mask of this sexy cop girl.

“Andy!” It was Mia’s mom calling from downstairs. With Mia suffering and her dad out of India for work, he had moved into her house for a few months to help out. He continued his college from there. It was anyways like his second family.

Mia and Andy had become friends in their junior college. They were best friends who understood each other. It was March of 2011. His term was about to end and he was overwhelmed by the amount of studies with one submission after another lined up. By March 2012 his college would be done. He was looking forward to completing his studies and getting rid of these barrage of submissions.

“Are you planning to come downstairs? The lunch is ready.” Mia’s mom called out again.

“Coming!” He shouted back and joined her and Mia at the dining cum coffee table which was placed between the kitchen and the living room.

Mia’s eyes looked sunken and spleen as if she had a disturbed sleep. She had barely eaten anything when she pushed her plate and got up. “I need to leave for college.” Mia said with stress clearly visible on her face.

“Babes, did you sleep?” Andy asked, concerned.

“A little. I will be fine. Need to go to college today. Have important practicals.” She said but looked clearly like she would be anywhere else but college.

“You won’t have to face him. PSI Anya had called. He is arrested.”

She looked relieved. “Thanks Andy. Best news that I have heard recently.”

“The bastard should rot in jail!” Said Mia’s mom and got up. She went into the kitchen to prepare coffee for everyone.

“I will get ready.”

“I will drop you,” said Andy and got ready himself.
