"Why would they need a mechanic to kidnap.. even if it is not the whole crew, why did they need these particular people?" Shreya wondered out loud.

"Maybe they were not part of Naren's crew. Maybe they are doing something else.." Zeenath pitched in.

"No.. This is Naren. I can feel it in my gut. I just don't know what he is planning!! A mechanic??" Shreya mumbled under her breath.

One mechanic? 5 Thieves? NO matter how much she thought about it, it did not make sense until she heard a pop sound from the hood of her car followed by smoke.

Zeenath slammed on the brakes shocked. But the car never stopped. It did not even screech as it rushed forward as if Zeenath never ever pressed on the brakes.

"Shreya, they must have planted something in the car. The brakes are not working anymore.. they should have blown up the brake cylinder! We are trapped!" Zeenath exclaimed panicked as she maneuvered the car from toppling over.

Well, that explains the mechanic..

But Shreya never even got to finish the thought as a big truck suddenly popped in front of them on the narrow road. It was driving straight at them without showing any signs of deviating with their horns blaring and headlights flashing.

Zeenath couldn't even open her eyes because of the sudden bright light that flashed right at her eyes. Even when they can see the truck riding right at them, they cannot avoid it since they were now driving over a hill road. If they drove the car off the road, they will fall down at least 50 feet. So, that was obviously out of option.

"Zee, drive straight at him!! The car will stop!!" Shreya instructed.

But just as her voice stopped, Zeenath turned the wheels 45 degrees and the car swirled with it. And the truck smashed straight towards the driver seat doors. Shreya never even got the time to protest as the impact of the crash pushed her body with the flow.

This car actually has a top-notch security system. The glasses are not just bulletproof, but they were as tough as if can get.

They were a type of polycarbonate that was designed not to break but to deform on impact. The same goes for the body of the car. That was the main reason why Shreya had asked Zeenath to drive straight. Because even when they might not be able to get out of it scot-free, the chances of both of them surviving the crash were also very good.

But Zeenath had to be Zeenath and turned the car just before impact taking most of the damage to her side. But then, even when the truck had hit her side with the maximum impact, they were not crushed. And of course, the car does not just have airbags just from the front but also on the sides.

But at the speed the car had hit the truck, it actually toppled upside down.. Shreya hit her head on impact. And everything went black for a second.

She did not know if she was conscious or not.. all she can hear was a buzzing sound for full two minutes before she shook her head and looked around to make sense of things.

"Zee.. ZEE. Wake up!!! Hey, do you hear me?" Shreya asked hysterically shaking her. Like her, Zeenath had also hit her head but it just looked so much worse. And on top of it, her whole left side of the body was injured and crushed. She was bleeding all over.

Shreya's hands started shaking as her mind started to panic.

"Zee, wake up.. please... Just wake up!!" Shreya called out frantically as her mind stopped working altogether. After so many times of calling out, Zeenath actually let out a groan.

"Hey, can you hear me?? Can you open your eyes?? Hey, hey.. here look at me!" Shreya beckoned.

But all that came to a standstill when she heard cars driving towards them.

First things first, she needed help. So, she did not think about it before pressing her panic button.

When she presses this, help will be there around her in a manner to half an hour even when it was unanticipated. This one not only alerts her team on the ground but also sends an alert to all the people in her network within the 2-mile radius of her location. And just as the shopkeeper in the middle of nowhere, every person on her network is equipped with the necessary tool like some very basic weapons and cars and stuff. But it does not stop there. It also mobilizes an elite team of persons that have been specially trained to react to emergencies. They were equipped with helicopters and top-notch weapons.

Shreya does not use their services on normal days since they were so very skilled that it is insulting to come forward and do the day-to-day. This team is also very diverse and far spread. She usually outsources them. They accept any national emergency assignments freelance. But they listen to her first. And very few people even know that she commands such a team.

But they were mostly concentrated on cities. Things may take a little bit longer when the location is remote.

"Hey, baby. You hang in there for a second okay. Help is going to be here in no time. I will just take care of these jerks in the meantime.." Shreya said to Zeenath rubbing on her bloody cheeks. She then reached out for the guns from the dashboard.

She had two.. She released her seat belts and the next second she fell down to the roof with a thud crashing on her shoulders.

Pain shot up instantly as she cursed under her breath, "F.u.c.k!!!"
