Chapter 7

Brahma received a telegram. It was one which had him shocked. Chandru had joined hands with the police. He knew Chandru wouldn't have done it without some provocation.

Brahma: There definitely must have been someone in our gang who must have tried to play with his life. This has provoked him and he has joined there. Now, there is no time left. If we try to wait with him, he will leak all our secrets out there. So its better we strike first.

Ganesh: Yes pa. Should I set someone to kill Chandru uncle?

Brahma: Send Karthik. Also ask Lakshmi Narayana to go along with him. Lakshmi's skills can help.

Ganesh: Yes pa, I'll carry the orders out at once.

Brahma just gave a thought on the course of things. He was heading to a collision somewhere. There wasn't time even to talk about reservation. He needed to immediately solve the problems within the ARA. Ever since Chandru left, the group of members, who were his loyalists, had been very dissatisfied. He needed to do something about all this. This was taking him to very dangerous domains.

At around this juncture, he recieved a call. It said Chandru was dead. It also said the police were actively searching for Brahma, in relation to Chandru's murder.

Brahma rushed to the Dindivanam Tea Estate, his most secret hideout, and went into the room he generally took in the estate. As he entered, a double shock awaited him.
He saw his son Karthik killed, stabbed on the chest. His doubts immediately went towards the police, and now doubted if they were in the estate as well. As he was hugging his son's body and wailing, he saw Ganesh's head lying on the bed in the room. It sent him into a fit of shock. The face was lying, without the body. It took him by a rage. But, on whom would he show the seething rage. He did not know what to do, his heir apparent was dead, both his sons were, his most trusted friend of once too was dead. What would he do now? As he was pondering over these questions, he heard a whistle from the back...
