Segment 5

Presently.

Kesha shut the lid of the laptop, angrily. "Not even a glimpse of the man's face."

"It seems like Maria liked him. Anyone she's told you about?"

"No. We never talked about our love life like that. Not the names at least."

"Okay. So who do you think it could be? Shall we start interrogating friends and family tomorrow?"

"Yes. Someone should know about this mystery man." Kesha looked at his picture again. Would Ames know?

"Salaam, Saiyyadbhai." Ames raised her hand to wish a middle aged man as they sat on the couch.

"Batao Ami beta, kaise aana hua?"

"Mujhe aapse kisi ke baare mein puchhna hai."

"Puchho. Tumhe pata hai na, har jawab ki keemat?"

"Ji." Ames put forth a suitcase of cash. "Quinton koun hai aur kahan hai?"

"Mujhe tumhara ye seedhi baat karna bahot pasand hai. Quinton is known for his discreet yet torturous murder methods. Uska asli naam koi nahi jaanta, chehra bhi kisine nahi dekha. Lekin ek shakhs hai jo uske baare mein thoda jyada jaanta hai."

"Uska handler?"

"Keh sakti ho." Saiyyad scribbled a name and number on a piece of paper. "Suna hai wo wapas aaya hai."

"Kab se?"

"Ek mahina hua hai."

"Shukriya." Ames put a wad of cash on the table and left with her suitcase.

Couldn't think of stuff 😆 somebody continue please:)

Haven't read the latest segment/s. Will read and see if i can come up with something.

Segment # 6

"So? What's going on at work? Isn't it time you were promoted?"

Kesha's dad always wound up talking about work during their once-a-month scheduled Saturday dinners. Work was safe. Though he hadn't totally approved of her choice of career, at least it was a respectable one. Nothing as shocking as her coming out.

Kesha shook her head, toying idly with her fork as her mom rose up with a bright smile, trying to play peacemaker as always.

"More raita?"

Kesha shook her head again, rising up with her plate.

"I'm done."

She went to the kitchen & rinsed her plate out at the sink, then wiping her hands looked down desperately at her phone. Come on, save me!

Maria had usually been her saviour during these intolerable dinners with her family. She would always call with a fake 'emergency' to rescue Kesha from the ordeal of sitting through her father's judgmental pronouncements on why her life was going exactly nowhere and why she should be more like her perfect older brother with his perfect wife, perfect kids, perfect house and perfect job. Even his location was perfect: USA. Kesha was thankful she didn't have to see him beyond their occasional Facetime chats. Not that she didn't love her brother, but his mere presence had now become a trigger thanks to her dad.

Now with Maria laid up in the hospital, she had no one to save her. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the fact that she had no friends outside of Maria. And no social life.

Her phone rang. Raghav! She could kiss him!

"Tell me you want me at the station!" she whispered.

"I want you at the station."

"How did you know? That I needed rescuing?" She lowered her voice so her parents wouldn't hear.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Are you in trouble?"

She sighed. "Yes. No. What is it?"

"It's about Maria's case. There's a woman here who says she will only speak to you."

"Have you told her I'm off the case?"

She fought down a wave of frustration. Her boss, Kulkarni, had assigned Raghav as Chief Investigating Officer for Maria's case and pulled her out completely stating conflict of interest. She had ranted and raved but no dice. She was still working on Jonny's case though.

"I did, but she insists. And I want you here too. This could be the breakthrough we're looking for."

She didn't need to be asked again. Mumbling her usual practiced excuses to her parents, she rushed out, reaching the station in less than 10 minutes. Ames was sitting at Raghav's desk.

Telling herself to calm down, she addressed the other woman in a cool tone.

"You know something? About who assaulted Maria?"

Ames merely looked at Raghav, eyebrows raised as if asking Do we need him?

"He's okay. He's good people."

Kesha sat across from Ames as Raghav sat himself on his usual spot on the desk. Heaven knew why the man had any chairs in his office.

"I know Maria was seeing someone. I also know he's married."

Kesha's mouth fell open.

"Maria??!! Seeing a married man? Are you sure?"

Ames nodded.

"How do you know? Have you met him? What's his name?"

Kesha was all business now, grabbing a pad and pen.

"I don't know anything about him except he's married. A few months ago, Maria & I were at a party. There was dancing and booze and general hooking up, you know? Maria disappeared for a while and I thought she was off for a good time. But I heard her in one of the rooms having an argument with a guy. She was yelling...you'll never leave her, will you? I couldn't hear what the guy said, but I saw him leave by the back door. Didn't get a good look at him."

She shrugged.

"I found her crying. I told her in my no-bulls**t voice that she needed to stop this. That he was a piece of sh*t. He was cheating on his wife which meant he'd never be faithful to her either. Any guy who made her feel like this wasn't worth it. She didn't listen."

Ames paused and took a long breath. "After that, we didn't speak for a while. Then, a few days later, she called & apologized. We made up promising we wouldn't talk about him again. I have no idea if she was still seeing him."

Raghav pulled up the CCTV footage on his laptop, flipping it around to Ames.

"Do you think this could be him?"

"Looks like the right build and height. But can't tell for sure."

"We need to find this guy. I'm sure he is responsible for Maria's condition," Kesha said, grimly.

There was silence and then,

"Let's do it. Let's nail the ba**ard."

-------------------------------

Tried to bring up Shibz's segment that mentioned a party and what Ames did there (that M's lover was talking about) & what might have possibly gone down.

Also brought in an opening for A and K to work together.

Just to clarify - did you mean to imply the drink the guy gave her might have had something? There was a thud from inside (which I took to mean Maria hitting the floor). In that case, we still need to retcon the blunt force trauma or why it was needed when she was already knocked out.

That would also explain the smile that Freddie saw on her face when he discovered her, she had no idea this was coming.

My thought was that the blunt force thingy was deliberate. An attempt to throw the police off from tying it to Thysian (Or Quinton's MO) of using the untraceable drug (which was done here too via the drink). And it could be Quinton using this MO so the suspicion could get thrown on Thysian. Whether the man (M's lover) is Quinton himself or someone planted by Q remains open.

Just my two cents.
