Trigger warning: Mentions of rape, rape victims and a few abusive language
------------------
The day passed by quickly with Krithika giving medical prompts to Sathya regarding the kidnapping case. It was almost seven at night when Soumya rushed inside Sathya's cabin, heaving heavy breaths,
It was about the rape case that rounded around the city, a miscreant kidnapping twenty young girls from thier college trip and was nowhere to be found. They had finally got an information regarding his whereabouts and proceeded to find them..
Sathya stopped the car and parked it behind a massive Goods Lorry that stood in front of them in such a way that thier small car was impossible to spot when viewed from a distance. Aravind slowly got down followed by Sowmya and Guru, they stood outside surveying the place
It was almost twelve at night and the roads were absolutely deserted , no inhabitants where found. And they remembered that they were informed that this was the place where a lot of illegal activities took place.
Krithika slowly removed her seat belts and turned look at Sathya who was looking ahead at nothing in particular. She slowly touched his forearm, making him look at her,
"Wh- what happened DSP sir? " She looked at him intently with concern,
"Athu.. Rape cases make me uncomfortable" It was a bare whisper, that thundered like a raging tempest, Krithika sighed in understanding and slowly extended his water bottle to him.
Sathya wordlessly got the bottle from her and drank in large gulps, while he tried to calm his heart. He had to be strong and steady to protect his team but just the thought of what lies ahead made his stomach churn in the most uncomfortable way.
There were young girls, who were lying as corpses, ruined and dead. And the culprits who crushed those blooming flowers and tortured them like sadists. Sathya's heart shrunk again,
Those girls were angels who made thier way to heaven after experiencing hell.
"Sir , Ulla pogalama? " Aravind asked him from outside. Sathya and Krithika got out of the car and the team set foot inside the tall, battered building.
Sathya wordlessly lead them Inside as Aravind and Krithika walked beside him on either sides,Guru and Soumya held a rifle and a gun respectively from either sides just in case anyone attacks them.
Aravind perked up at a stale odour and covered his nose, the team did the same.
"Sir.. Anga paarunga Sir! " Guru alerted them seeing a leg stretched out of the hallway. Sathya gestured them to follow them and retrieved his gun. Krithika took careful steps forward, clutching her stethoscope,
"Si- sir.. Inga neraya ponam iruku sir...
Antha poruki ellarayum konnitan sir! " Aravind exclaimed seeing the dead bodies of those girls on the hallway. His eyes slowly tearing up.
Sathya took a deep breath and clutched Guru's hand, Soumya and Krithika moved forward to examine them.
Krithika's eyes flickered rapidly and said, "The blood clots are fresh.
Oru fifteen minutes ah dha wound irunthruku.. " She stood up examine the other one,
"Sir! Ivangluku heart beat innu faint ah iruku sir! " She called him and Sathya quickly knelt down beside the girl,
"Ma? Ma? Kekutha?
Inga paarunga? Ma? " He slowly patted her cheeks, they heard her breath momentarily and figured that she was trying to say something,
