Chap 1: The new ACP
The story begins about 1 and 1/2 years after the end of season 1. The sikkas were well settled in their respective fields now, and Deshmukh was as busy with his cases. He was in touch with the sikkey, only Mohit had lost contact with him from the past year. He sometimes wondered why Mohit never tried to contact him, but his nature did not allow him to find that out, he preferred to appear emotion less. The others were in his regular contact, but in the depth of his heart Deshmukh was afraid that Mohit had again been drawn into the web of alcoholism by the whims of his posh society. He had tried Mohit's address but Mohit was out of Mumbai for past 1 year. The others were still as attatched to him, they would invite him to their parties knowing fully well he would refuse. He never missed one game of Dilnaz, though Dil would never know that. He knew when Hameer or Uttara were out of country, he kept himself informed of their whereabouts, so that all thoses people they had hunted in the past dont ever come near harming them. Ayush worked with the police in cracking numerous cyber crimes so Deshmukh generally met him quite often, and to tell the truth his non-stop chatter was something Deshmukh openly scolded him for, but secretly he loved it. Recently Dilnaaz had also started working with the cops as the ammunition expert. But he didnt know if Mohit was in contact with them also.
Today was a busy day at the police station. A new ACP was arriving today, commissioner had asked Deshmukh to escort him from the Airport. The rumors had that he was a really rough young man. "Ek aur aa gaya mereko pakane" Deshmukh thought "Pata nahi yeh saala kitna bara chor hoga" He was hurrying with his official files, he shouldnt be late at least. As he was about to leave for the airport, when suddenly his phone ringed. He picked up the phone to hear Hameer's panicked voice from other side "Sir jaldi ajaiye" he huffed "Main aur Uttara..." "Hameer santi se bata kya hua" Deshmukh asked "Kaha hai tumlog?" "Sir wo main aur Uttara ek admi ko kuch dinon se dekh rahe thhe pub main, humein shak thha ki wo drug dealer hai isiliye hum uska pichha karte huye paradise hotel aaye" Hameer said "Hum abhi wahi hai" "Saala tum logon ko maine kitni baar mana kiya hai par nahi mera baat kaha sunte ho kabhi" Deshmukh said "Thrill chahiye tum logon ko humesha, Khotey ho khotey hi rahoge, wahi ruko main aata hun" The new ACP completely out of his mind, he rushed his car to paradise hotel. But as soon as he entered a waiter walked upto him "Inspector Deshmukh?" he asked, Deshmukh nodded in response "this way sir" he led him to room no. 312. Deshmukh now was a little angry, as he knew most probably the five had again planned a prank for him, four he corrected himself, Mohit wont be there. But he still entered the room, it was always possible that the dealer had caught them and now wanted him. He had his gun at ready as he kicked the door open. As he kicked the door open, and entered the room, it was pitch dark. Suddenly a two lights went on, one focussed on him and the other on a birthday cake. It was in shape of a coin, with a hole in between, like a Khota sikka. He shaked his head in a fed up manner, he might forget his birthday but these kids never will. And as predicted the four of them, came out of the shadows singing happy birthday. "Saala tumolog mera time khoti karne ke alava aur kuchh kyun nahi karte" he said angrily "Tum logon ko bhi toh kaam hai, pan nahi mere dimag kharab nahi karke tum logon ka khana kaha hazam hota hai." "Sir aap fursat se daant lagaiye," Hameer said "par pehle cake kaatiye pls" "Main jaa raha hun" Deshmukh "Mujhe apne naye ACP ko welcome karna hai, cake tum log hi khao" He rushed out in anger and started his car, towards the airport. "Inki vajah se muhe sunna parega ab" he thought, but still he wondered why did they call him in a hotel so far from the city,they had wished him b'days in past but generally in some smaller hotel, what was special today. Seeing Deshmukh's car leave, Dilnaz said "Yeh kya, sir ne toh cake kaata hi nai.." her voice complaining. "Toh kya hua Dil" Hameer said "Sir ka asli gift toh pahunch gaya hoga. " "Aur use dekhtey hi unke hosh urr jaayenge" Ayush said. And they smiled, a sinister smile of success. And they left in a car.
Deshmukh reached airport but as he stood their with the plaque reading "welcome the new ACP" his phone ringed again. This time it was Patil "Sir jaldi aiye" he said in a strained voice "Naye ACP sir pahunch gaye hain, wo kahte hai aap unhe lene hi nahi aaye." Deshmukh again sped towards the police station, as he entered he saw the atmosphere of the room was quite. The effect of the new ACP he thought. "Sir" Patil said "Unhone aapko bulaya hai" Patil said pointing towards the cabin. Deshmukh walked upto the room, with a murderous glance at the gleeful face of Kadam. The kids were so in trouble he thought but first he needed to deal with the new ACP.
As he entered the room he saw that the new ACP was seating with his back to the door. "Aiye inspector Deshmukh" he said "Subah apko aisa kya kaam aaya ki ap apne naye ACP ko welcome tak karne nahi aaye" his voice was horse. "Wo sir main ek zaruri kaam.." Deshmukh started only to be interrupted by the ACP. "Paradise hotel mein aapko kya zaruri kaam thha?" he asked "Yaa raison ki party thhi" "Aapko paradise hotel ke bare mein kaise paata" Deshmukh asked "I am a police officer, Inspector" ACP said "I have to stay informed, khair aapka track record itna achcha hai ki main yeh nahi maanta ki aap waha koi ghush khane gaye honge, waise inspector Kadam ki yahi rai thhi." "Saala Kadam" Deshmukh muttured "Sir asal main ek lead mili thhi par wo galat nikli" he said aloud "Khair aapko ek maafi nama toh dena hi hoga" ACP said "baithiye, abhi likh ke muhe dijiye." Feeling like a school student, he sat down and took a pen and paper. He felt really angry on the kids and also somewhat on the new ACP. He wrote down the apology letter, making it short and proffesional. Once the sound of rubbing of his pen stopped, "Hogaya?" the ACP asked, "main adress batata hun, pls adress the letter." "Jee, Sir" Deshmukh said his voice totally irritated. "Likhiye, To the , ACP of mumbai police" ACP said, Deshmukh kept on writing, "ACP..." "Sir aapka koi naam bhi hai?" Deshmukh asked irritated with the drama, who did he think he was, his voice sounded so horse yet familiar. He was still sitting with his back to Deshmukh not even gracing him with a look. "Haan" he said "likhiye, ACP MOHIT KISHANCHANDANI..." the horse voice also became normal with the last words, and Deshmukh stood up startled, hearing the name and recognising the voice. "Kya?" he said. The chair flipped around, to reveal that intense handsome face of Mohit, "Rock and roll" he said, with that swaggy one sided green, and suddenly the other four also came out of the adjacent room with a grin plastered on their faces and stood beside Mohit. "Yeh kya mazak hai mohit?" he said really angry now "Aur itna dinon se tuh kaha thha" "Mazak nahi hai sir" Mohit said standing up and grinning ear to ear, he was wearing a brabd new police uniform without the cap and stars "Yeh dekhiye" He handed him his badge. It had his photo, and clearly read ACP Mohit Kishanchandani. "Aur sir aap puchh rahe thhe na Mohit kaha thha" Hameer said "Wo Delhi mein thha" "IPS ki training kar raha thha sir" Uttara said. "And he passed top of his batch" Ayush said. "Aur phir direct posting to Mumbai, wo bhi aapke area mein." Dilnaz said pride was evident in all their voices. The last of their Khotey sikkey gang had aced the exam of life. Deshmukh looked at the 5, his heart was swelling with pride, it felt as though it would burst with happiness. For the first time he wished that he could show his emotions better. But the 5 did not need him to speak, they read it in those tough eyes, they knew their Desi Sir cared for them, more than anyone had ever done. "Yaha aa" he called Mohit. All the five walked round the table to him, Mohit stood in front of him. "Tere stars aur topi kaha hai" Deshmukh asked, all of his anger was now gone but roughness and suspicion were his habit. "Sir wo" Mohit looked a little embarassed now "wo main chahta thha ki...I wanted that...maine stars aur topi isiliye nahi pahni cuz I wanted you to put them on me, because you are my role model, varna police main aata hi nahi. So if you will, agar aap chaahe toh" He produced the star and the cap. Deshmukh took them, he put the star on Mohit's shoulder, and made him wear the cap. It was a moment to behold. Mohit who knew his parents did not care for what he was, nor would they like a police officer's son. But he could see that he had made Deshmukh proud. Deshmukh who never had children as he did never marry, but he could not help feeling like a proud father today looking at the HIS khotey sikkey. "Par itne dinon tu koi contact mein nahi thha" Deshmukh said "Aur tumlog, jaante the yeh kaha hai, phir bhi achha natak kiya" "Sir inhe maine hi mana kiya tha" Mohit said "Pehli bar iss vardhi mein aapko suprise dena chahta thha. Aur jab mujhe pata chala ki meri posting yaha hine waali hai toh maine jaan bujhke aapni joining ek month delay karvayi taaki aapke birthday ke din aa saku. And iss natak kiya taaki aap ko suprise kar saku. So how did you like the birthday gift sir?" Mohit asked pointing to himself. "Bohot achcha" Deshmukh said, looking at him from top to bottom. "Aur waise SIR yeh aapka maafi nama" Deshmukh said handing the letter to Mohit. "Sir aap bhi" Mohit said "Aise hi Patil aatey hi pichhe par gaya" "Maine kya kiya sir" Patil said chosing that moment to enter "Ab naye ACP hai..." "Paatil kya yaar tum bhi" Mohit said. All started laughing. "Waise sir" Hameer said "Ab toh Dil, Aayush and Mohit tino ap hi ke saath kaam karte hain, ab mujhe aur Uttara ko bhi bula hi lijiye. Pls sir" "Thhik hai" Deshmukh said "Waise bhi main mana karunga toh bhi tum log kaha sunoge, dekhta hun agle case mein. Waise mujhe ACP sahb se baat karni paregi. Kyun sir hum karein inhe include" He said turning to Mohit "Sir pls sir" Mohit said pleading "Achcha accha thhik hai" He said hitting Mohit on the side of his head. "Sir ab toh cake kaatenge na" Dil asked, as Aayush brought the cake from other room. Deshmukh blew the candles and cut the cake, they did not sing as that would get Kadam suspicious and they did not want him here. "Waise sir" Hameer said "I am serious about getting back. Pls sir." "Arey thhik hai bola na main, zyasti pareshan mat kar." he said "Next case mein dekhta hun, koi case toh aaye tab toh solve karoge" "Matlab friends, hum fir honge heroes." Aayush said. "Aa" Mohit said "Tuh thha bhi nahi, aur hoga bhi nahi" All laughed. And so it began again, the Khotey Sikkey back in action...
