Riya- Mr Rawte, you think I am hiding something right? Try to figure it out without these dirty tricks, using my best friend against me!? really!? oops ex best friend.
She glared at all of them before she stormed into her room and shut the door behind her with such force that it made all of them flinch. Shree ran behind crying vigorously and knocking on her door, but to no avail. He brought it upon himself.

He knocked profusely on Riya's door
Shree- Ri please...ek baar to meri baat sunle! Ri...Please!!!
His pleas only reached deaf ears. Riya was too caught up in her own dilemma, she knew she will have to reveal the truth she also knew she will not forgive Shree.

Next morning Riya found herself waking up at the edge of her bed. She remembered dosing off in that position while she faced the betrayal. She washed her face and got herself read and stepped out only to see Shree asleep outside her door.
Because she opened the door his head drooped slightly and in that instance she forgot everything and bent down to support his head. This woke him up and also woke a sense of hope in him that Riya forgave him.
Seeing the hope ignite in his eyes Riya stood up, turned a cold shoulder towards Shree and walked off.
Going down she called one of her servants, whispered something gave him the keys. In an hour the whole house was empty no servants in sight. Only Riya and the ETF team. All of them sat in the hall. No one said anything, aware of the tension between Riya and Shree and Arjun.
Riya- I have called all of you here, because you all think I am hiding something right?
Arjun nodded
Riya- Well you are right, and I think it is high time I tell you. Please follow me.
Riya stood up and walked ignoring the surprise and confusion on ETF members faces. She walked into her room as they tailed behind her. She pulled out a book from the shelf and it slid open revealing a secret room.
She stepped in and the ETF team followed. There was a round table with a couple of chairs and a big white board on one side and a big pin board on an other.
Riya- Please have a seat.
Once they were all settled down Riya continued.
Riya- To be very honest I did not want ETF on this case and you will no soon why. I do not question the capabilities of this team at all but there are other reasons. The attacks that have been conducted on me are organised by Aamir Shiekh, underworld name Sikander.
Arjun clenched his fist at the mention of Sikanders name.
Riya Pointed towards the pictures on the pin board.

Riya- This is Sikander. He is conducting attacks on me because he thinks that I have proof against him which I will present in court against him and his men. But this is what he thinks. The truth is I do have proof but not enough to prove him guilty. I needed a team who could help me. Preferably not ETF cause one of the members has personal problems with Sikander. In this case I need rational thinking and not a fit of rage. If only all of you agree to corporate with me will I continue to explain and provide more information.
The team exchanged glances unsure of their decision...
