" What do you mean ki woh nahi mil rahi?", Armaan's agitated voice resounded in his cabin.

Aakarsh replied in a dejected voice,
" I don't understand what is going on Armaan. In fact I don't even know kya ho raha hai?
The team checked the courts once and they didn't see her and then because of a sudden strike the lawyers started leaving so they couldn't talk to them to find out anything much.
Since then there have been no checks.
The team members that were appointed have been quitting without justifications.
I tried assigning others but they quit too.
Every judgement, every detail on Google about her is gone. Every time we type her name in the screen goes blank.
Sab hack ho raha hai with her name but whoever is hacking is doing nothing to harm the devices. And it's not just one computer, it is every single computer in my company, my personal laptop is doing the same thing, I tried your laptop you and it is also the same.
It's just to stall the investigation and to stop us from finding her."

Armaan, who was scared and very confused asked, " How is this happening and Why? Can you even find a way around it?"

Aakarsh replied, " I don't understand how yet, Armaan but someone is hampering the investigation. It's almost like they don't want us to find her."

Armaan immediately asked, "Kaun? Can it be Kaveri Poddar?"

Aakarsh shook his head before replying, " I initially thought the same thing so I checked her bank statements first. She hasn't paid anyone who could do this.
There is  nothing suspicious there.
Nothing.
And honestly the way they are losing money, I don't think they have the time to do this.
It's someone else.
Koi hai aisa who would want to keep you away?"

Armaan stood up with such force that his chair flew back. He started walking front and back, his hand rubbing his face as he tried to think of someone who could do this. His anxiety very high at the thought of not finding her.

When nothing came up, he said, " Koi nahi hai that I know of. I can't think of one name who would want to do that."

Aakarsh asked, " Koi toh hoga? Someone who she mentioned to you, think Armaan."

Armaan nervously shouted, " Koi nahi hai. I don't understand, how and why? This shouldn't be happening. We were so close. This was my chance at finding her and now it's gone? How? There is no one who would do this aakarsh, no one."

Aakarsh replied, " Okay, then here is what we'll do. I'll send another team to Delhi to figure this out and get in touch with some of my colleagues. If this started when we were going to be looking in Delhi then she has to be there, right? We'll try to find her again."
