Everyone turned to look and froze. They heard firing from security guards and in a fraction of second the Figure vanished. Rattan looked nervous and alerted. He took out his phone to inquire with the security. Someone had intruded but had not escaped the firing.

Khushi went out on the busy street in search of a telephone directory and a camera shop. She bought a big shooting camera and a mike... She looked for the required number stored in her mobile. She came back to her position to see a person trying to hop over the compound wall in vain. 

She tapped on his shoulder..."What are you doing ?" she asked raising her voice a little.
"shh...!" he said looking at her and her big camera and keeping a hand on his gun in his hip pocket.

"trying to get in?" she asked him. He nodded. "Reporter?" he hesitated but nodded keeping his hand on his hips trying to hide his gun. 

"Come with me! She said in a whisper. She had found an alliance. She thrust the camera in his hand. 

She dialed a number. The operator picked up the phone.
He dialed a number .. "Boss I am going in!"

"Connect me to Sir's office! I am calling from CM's office!" she ordered in a stern tone. The call was transferred. 

"Sir, I am calling from CM's office. He is on another line. He has asked you to finish off as early as possible and asked you to send the camera and crew in! Khushi by then had moved towards the barricades talking over the phone ignoring the security, with the cameraman close behind. Someone stopped her. She raised her hand indicating not to disturb her. 

"Yes Sir, she said in phone. I will do the needful sir, I will give your message Sir! Oh.. he is here, talk to him sir..! " she looked at the security guard raising her eyebrows. He forcibly stopped her. She thrust the phone in his hand and said, "Here, talk to the commissioner!"
"Talk to commissioner of...!" she said loudly. she had crossed her fingers. "Hey devi mayya... this should work.. please!" she looked at the security guard pressing the phone to his ear.
"Hello... the guard called out skeptically. " 

"This is police commissioner of Kanpur!" the guard heard the opening statement...He saluted instantly.. . 

She had a smile on her face. She snatched the phone before he could hear anything! "Yes Sir, I will go in and give your message to him...!" she already had disconnected.. but clutching the phone to her ear.

"Yes sir, I will take the cameraman with me!" she said in a dead phone. The security guard escorted her to the gates. 

The guard reported about this. The in charge dialed commissioner's office to get confirmation that Camera and Crew were allowed inside.

"Hold the camera properly... !" she hissed. He fumbled. He had a close look at her walking with her towards the Mansion through the gate officially. He was shocked. This was the same girl they were desperately looking for to kidnap and keep her at safe place and he was walking with her in a death trap. 

But there was no way back. He had to go with her, to know her plan, to protect her, to break into the Mansion....! 

She stopped dead... She saw another person at the door and heard gun fire from the security... She froze and looked aghast at the fake camera man. The man at the door had ducked but got shot in the leg and hid behind the pillar ofr Varandah. The cameraman was shocked. The injured person was his man. He did not know what to do.. to go for the help or to be with this lady!
She fidgeted for a fraction of second and hissed... "This is our chance...!" she almost ran towards the door keeping the mike ready... "start Shooting!" She ordered breaking into a run. It was difficult to keep pace with her. He ran after her breathless with excitement. 

"She was at the door... she barged into the hall talking in mike...!" 

"Just now we heard the gun fire... hope no one is injured!... This is the famous Thakur Mansion.. which has a legacy of hundreds of years... you can see the antique remains in this grand, big, rich hall...! Should we call this a hall? Or a palace within a palace?" she went on to everybody's shock. 

Arnav gaped at her. He grew panic... what the hell is she doing? And who is the man?" he thought. Rattan and other Thakurs were shocked to the core

"How did the media entered?" they were scared to the core... their end was nearing?
Krishna Kant looked aghast. But Sham was the first to come to his senses...
"Khushi?" he called out in suspicion stepping ahead. 

"Here is a person first to speak. He says "Inako Khushi hui! He is happy to see the shoot! Let us ask him who he is!"

"Hello....! What is your name sir? Sham? Ok...! Here is Mr. Sham the famous lawyer... who defends the cases of Thakurs... 

"We heard you are here to defend yet again..!" she went ahead to Sham's father! She gaped at the resemblance! Regaining her senses she went ahead...

"You must be Mr. Sham's father...! Look at the striking resemblance..." she spoke to camera... "Look at the similar ladyfinger nose... the poppy eyes... the beard... the scar...!" No.. No.. Only Sham has the scars.. not his father!" She went ahead. 

Arnav actually chuckled in that distressful situation...! She was wrecking havoc....!
"What do you do Sir?" she asked him... "Please look into the camera and speak..." she suggested...! Sham came ahead to grab her... but the camera man shielded her..! 

"Not like this..! Like This! She turned his face with her hand facing the camera... Sham took a step backward...!

"No Mr. Sham, come ahead! Let the people see your bright face...!" she said and stepping forward .. looked into the camera..

"He is a famous lawyer... Look at his bright eyes... you can see conman's traits.. you can see cunningness.. you can see shrewdness... you can see his reputation in his eyes...!
"What is this scar.. Mr. Sham?" she actually touched his scar with a disgust. Sham gaped at the scene.. she had not given any one any chance... She was talking nonstop loudly and with an accent... Not knowing what she was talking.

She had seen Arnav, her heart jumped with joy. But she couldn't face him. That would be turning back on the enemy. She couldn't afford it. Arnav had clutched the rocking chair. The lady on the rocking chair was staring at the scene. Khushi was perfectly mimicking a scandal hungry swoopy reporter...! 

"What is she doing? What does she want to do?" Arnav couldn't think of anything.
Looking at the camera.. everyone had become suddenly cautious trying to safeguard their own image. Rattan brought a smile on his face forcibly. 

"Face the camera please!! This is a live shoot!" she brought Rattan forward...!
"How do you feel after the Janata Darbar, Sir? When will you hold the next one?" she asked him politely. Arnav gaped at her spark. Rattan was rendered speechless. He could just bring a fake smile on his face. 

"Please look at the camera sir, Like this... your side profile is good!" she was just making fun of everyone, taking advantage of the situation. Arnav had a spark in his eyes... he was looking at his dear wife's drama with his lopsided smile. She was best at it... She had barged in as tornado which was shattering the entire empire of Thakurs!! 

"Oh! Rattan Sir... !" she interrupted his movements.. she held his hand and brought him towards Arnav...

"Sir, this seems to be the eldest of your family! Please introduce her to our viewers, sir! " She asked her assistant to focus on the two.

"Sir, will you please move aside?" she pushed Arnav aside with typical reporter's arrogance. He stepped back. Sham came forward... he was brandishing his gun, when Khushi turned her back on them. She turned suddenly...

"gun?.. Camera.. Focus on the gun first... Mr. Sham Zaa wants to show us his gun! Is this a licensed gun sir? She asked hm. He suddenly put the gun away. She again turned and took out her mirror posing to touch up her makeup. 

"Continue with your introduction, Rattan Sir...!" she said gesturing towards the grandmother.
"Umm... She is our grandmother..!" said Rattan weakly.

"Grandmother... who was locked up for several years...!" she screamed shrilly and tried to get up. Arnav ran forward to stop her...! Khushi winked at her husband. He chuckled... She was keeping an eye on her back from the mirror.

The cameraman.. was moving around frantically following Khushi's instructions... he saw movement at the far end of the Hall... he knew his men had entered the Mansion...!He smiled. He was enjoying being Khushi's assistant...She was a cyclone!! He loved being part of the raid...! The gang war was at the door. He needed to keep the couple safe...! He knew what to do when his men entered....! The overconfident sham and his gang was oblivious to the situation...!

**** ****** ******

Someone came running out of the control room...! Commissioner hurriedly went into the meeting room. The conversation was relayed .. he was shocked. He did not notice Balwindar Singh had entered the meeting room anxiously...

He heard the voices... "Khushi...!" he screamed. Commissioner looked at him...
"This is Khushi, Arnav Singh Raizada's wife! She is in there!" he got panic. 

"I have to go! They both are in danger!" he lost his mind...
"Wait...! We have the entire battalion out there.. any time we can raid!" he said trying to stop papaji.

"I don't know that.. my daughter is in danger and I am going to rescue her!" he said dashing out of Commissioner's office. 

"Oh my! What a couple!" the commissioner was dumbstruck.
He dialed Arnav's number in panic. "Hello... our men are ready to strike. Move yourself to a safe place and hide from firing!" said the commissioner.

"No need! Not now!" came an answer! Arnav had to safeguard his wife first... She was in grave danger.. Sham and his Father were closing in.. Sham had his hand in his pocket... anytime he would start firing...! Arnav knew they were in a fix!!
