Chapter 4 - CHAPTER 4:(THE SECRET MISSION)

Mysterious Voice in Sakthivel's Head:

"We will meet again."

Sakthivel was shocked.

Suddenly, a car came speeding into the airport.

A mysterious man was driving the car. He was wearing a mask to hide his face.

The man stopped the car, opened the door, and took a bazooka (rocket launcher) from inside.

He aimed it at the soldiers.

BOOM!

The rocket struck the soldiers.

Sakthivel didn't move an inch.

He was completely focused on the mysterious man's eyes.

Something about those eyes felt strangely familiar to him.

Nagulan:

"Sakthivel! Come on!"

Sakthivel couldn't hear anyone's voice.

Nagulan:

"Sakthivel!"

Nagulan grabbed Sakthivel and forced him to move.

Both of them quickly entered the flight and escaped from the airport.

The remaining soldiers tried to shoot at them.

But the mysterious man picked up a machine gun and eliminated the remaining soldiers.

---

INSIDE THE FLIGHT

Everyone was exhausted after the escape.

Nagulan looked at Sakthivel.

Nagulan:

"Sakthivel, what happened to you? Did you hear me?"

Sakthivel didn't respond.

Suddenly, unfamiliar memories began appearing in his mind.

INSIDE SAKTHIVEL'S MIND

Mysterious Voice:

"This is not the statement."

Nagulan's voice could be heard faintly in the background.

Nagulan:

"Sakthivel?"

The mysterious voice continued.

Mysterious Voice:

"This is the promise."

Nagulan:

"Sakthivel, did you hear me?"

The voice became darker.

Mysterious Voice:

"I will kill every..."

Suddenly—

SLAP!

Nagulan slapped Sakthivel.

Sakthivel immediately returned to reality.

Nagulan:

"What happened to you?"

Sakthivel looked confused.

Sakthivel:

"I... I... I don't know."

He took a deep breath.

Sakthivel:

"For a fraction of a second, something happened to me. I saw some visuals in my mind, but they weren't mine."

He paused.

Sakthivel:

"It happened after I saw that man in the car."

Sagathevan looked at him.

Sagathevan:

"Do you know who he was?"

Sakthivel:

"How would I know?"

Nagulan placed his hand on Sakthivel's shoulder.

Nagulan:

"Okay, leave it for now. Everyone is safe, and we got the diamond. That's enough for us."

He smiled.

Nagulan:

"We'll discuss this later."

---

Everyone eventually fell asleep.

But Sakthivel remained awake, still thinking about the strange memories.

Manthagini noticed him.

Manthagini:

"Are you okay?"

Sakthivel:

"I think so."

He looked at her.

Sakthivel:

"Hey, I want to ask you something."

Manthagini:

"What?"

Sakthivel:

"When I first joined the team, everyone else kept their distance from me. But why did you approach me?"

Manthagini smiled.

Manthagini:

"I don't know. When I first saw you, I noticed a lot of anger in your eyes."

Sakthivel laughed.

Sakthivel:

"Haha! How did you know that? Are you an astrologer?"

Manthagini smiled.

Manthagini:

"No. I'm a psychiatrist."

She looked at him.

Manthagini:

"So I can understand human thoughts and emotions."

Sakthivel:

"Hmm... nice."

He yawned.

Sakthivel:

"Okay, I'm really tired. I want to sleep."

Manthagini:

"Okay. Have sweet dreams."

Sakthivel:

"Hmm. Good night."

---

THE DREAM

After Sakthivel fell asleep, he once again had the strange dream.

The mysterious voice echoed in his mind.

Mysterious Voice:

"We will meet again."

Sakthivel suddenly woke up.

He opened his eyes.

They had already reached India.

---

INDIA

The team arrived in India.

Everyone welcomed them with greetings.

The Prime Minister approached Sakthivel.

Prime Minister:

"Good job, Sakthivel. You saved an important part of Indian history."

The Special Crime Officer smiled.

Special Crime Officer:

"Super, Sakthivel! You really did a great job."

Sakthivel:

"Thank you, sir."

He paused.

Sakthivel:

"But I was searching for Abdul while we were in Germany. He wasn't there."

Special Crime Officer:

"Okay. We'll discuss that later."

Sakthivel:

"Okay, sir. I think the press is waiting for me, so I have to go."

---

PRESS CONFERENCE

Reporters surrounded Sakthivel.

Reporter:

"Sir, did you retrieve the diamond?"

Sakthivel:

"Yes, we retrieved it."

He looked at his team.

Sakthivel:

"And I couldn't have done anything without my team. They also did a great job."

He smiled.

Sakthivel:

"From now on, for every group operation, I will choose this team."

The team members smiled.

---

THE CELEBRATION

Later, Sakthivel and his team held a party to celebrate their success.

But Sakthivel was still thinking about the mysterious memories.

Nagulan noticed him.

Nagulan:

"Sakthivel, leave it for now. We'll discuss it later."

He smiled.

Nagulan:

"Right now, just enjoy."

Sakthivel smiled.

Sakthivel:

"Okay."

Everyone poured drinks into their glasses and prepared to make a toast.

Sakthivel, Manthagini, Devi, Nagulan & Sagathevan:

"Cheers!"

Suddenly—

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Bullets came from nowhere and shattered the glasses in their hands.

Everyone immediately ducked.

Devi:

"What was that?"

More bullets were fired from all directions.

The team quickly realized that they were surrounded.

They pretended to be dead.

The shooters entered the room and checked their bodies.

But when they examined them, they found no bullet wounds.

Suddenly—

Sakthivel:

"EVERYONE, CHARGE!"

The entire team immediately attacked the shooters and knocked them out.

But then—

More shooters surrounded them.

Suddenly, another mysterious man entered the room.

He quickly took down every remaining shooter.

Sakthivel looked at him.

Sakthivel:

"Who are you?"

The man looked at them.

Shiva:

"There's no time for that. Follow me."

Shiva led them out of the building and took them to the Special Crime Officer's house.

---

SPECIAL CRIME OFFICER'S HOUSE

Sakthivel looked around in confusion.

Sakthivel:

"Why did you bring us here?"

Shiva turned toward the Special Crime Officer.

Shiva:

"Sir, I've brought them."

Shiva

Gender: Male | Age: 26

The Special Crime Officer smiled.

Special Crime Officer (Elanguvan):

"Excellent, Shiva."

Elanguvan

Gender: Male | Age: 65 | Occupation: Special Crime Officer, CBI

Sakthivel became suspicious.

Sakthivel:

"Sir, what's going on here? Who were those people who tried to kill us? And who is he?"

Elanguvan looked at Sakthivel.

Elanguvan:

"Sakthivel, this is Shiva."

He paused.

Elanguvan:

"My secret agent."

Sakthivel looked at Shiva suspiciously.

Sakthivel:

"Your secret agent? When did you appoint him?"

Elanguvan:

"He was appointed at the same time you were assigned to this mission—for your protection."

Elanguvan became serious.

Elanguvan:

"Okay, let's leave that aside for now."

He looked at the entire team.

Elanguvan:

"You have a much bigger problem."

Everyone listened carefully.

Elanguvan:

"The chairman of Farming Gold Industries tried to have you killed because you stole the diamond from his facility."

He continued.

Elanguvan:

"He could come after you at any time."

Elanguvan took out a file.

Elanguvan:

"And according to secret intelligence, the diamond is going to be stolen within three days."

Everyone was shocked.

Elanguvan:

"You have to protect that diamond."

He looked at Shiva.

Elanguvan:

"Shiva will lead you."

Elanguvan turned toward the team.

Elanguvan:

"Now you can go."

Shiva stepped forward.

Shiva:

"Everyone, listen carefully. Come to my office tomorrow morning at exactly 10 o'clock."

He handed them his office address.

Shiva:

"Here is my office address."

The team members took the address and left for their homes.

Sakthivel looked back at Shiva.

Sakthivel:

"There's something strange about that guy."

He narrowed his eyes.

Sakthivel:

"I have to figure him out."

---

THE NEXT MORNING

The next morning, everyone gathered at Shiva's office.

As they approached the building, they heard loud music coming from inside.

Devi looked confused.

Devi:

"Why is there so much noise coming from his office?"

They opened the door.

Everyone froze in shock.

Shiva was dancing energetically to "Naa Ready" from the movie Leo, starring Thalapathy Vijay.

Shiva continued dancing.

Shiva:

"Thalapathy is always Thalapathy!"

Sagathevan cleared his throat.

Sagathevan:

"Ahhh... excuse me."

Shiva suddenly stopped dancing.

Shiva:

"Oh, shit! When did you guys get here?"

Devi looked at him.

Devi:

"We came during the lyric about bringing it in a big pot and cheering."

Shiva looked embarrassed.

Shiva:

"Sorry, guys. I didn't realize you had arrived."

SHIVA'S THOUGHTS

"This is so embarrassing."

Shiva quickly recovered.

Shiva:

"Okay, everyone, sit down."

Sakthivel immediately got to the point.

Sakthivel:

"Leave that aside. What's our plan to protect the diamond?"

Shiva looked at him casually.

Shiva:

"Plan?"

He shrugged.

Shiva:

"No, there is no plan."

Everyone stared at him.

Shiva:

"Just stand near the diamond and protect it."

Sakthivel became furious.

Sakthivel:

"Hey! Do you think you're a genius?"

He stepped toward Shiva.

Sakthivel:

"Don't play games with me, or you'll face the consequences."

Shiva remained calm.

Shiva:

"Hey, relax, buddy."

He smiled.

Shiva:

"Why are you getting so angry over such a silly thing?"

Shiva stood up.

Shiva:

"I'll take care of it."

He pointed toward the door.

Shiva:

"Now, all of you can leave."

Sakthivel became irritated.

Sakthivel:

"Shit. Do whatever you want. I don't care."

Nagulan approached Sakthivel.

Nagulan:

"Hey, why are you so frustrated?"

Sakthivel looked back at Shiva.

Sakthivel:

"He's got too much attitude."

He walked toward the door.

Sakthivel:

"Let's see what he's going to do."

The entire team left Shiva's office.

Shiva watched them leave with a mysterious smile on his face.
