Jayne was motionless . She was so petrified that she wasn't talking or even crying . "Jayne! Jayne! Let's leave . The longer we stay here, it'll be more disturbing . You won't be able to take it any longer . I'll make you sit in the Jeep and go check with Nuru okay . " Ronnie was about to carry her back into the Jeep when she wasn't responding . The horrific scenes unfolding before them was too much to handle .
Just then she wailed out her tears . "Brother Nuru! I want to see him . I won't go until I see him . Please even I want to come with you Ronnie don't say no . " She cried and pleaded to him .
"But it's very unsafe to go there now . Plus with so many casualties around, you won't be able to manage this . Remember even you are hurt and haven't recovered fully . Fully aware of the danger lurking around us, I can't put your life at stake by taking you there . " Ronnie calmly explained .
Jayne was hesitant . She didn't want to give up .
Just then a policeman came towards them and asked . "Sir and Ma'am why are you waiting here? We need to clear this area . Please leave . "
Jayne immediately responded . "Sir, my brother's winter wear shop there was harmed in this blast . Can you please let us check on my brother and his wife?" she pleaded and cried before him .
"Sorry Ma'am . Around six to eight shops there have been fully burnt and so have the inmates . It'll take time for us to get inside and recover their bodies . Please leave your contact details with us . We'll contact you once we are done with the rescue operations . " The policeman told the procedure dutifully .
"We fully understand sir . We'll cooperate with you . " Ronnie said to the policeman .
Jayne was hesitant to leave the area . Ronnie dragged her from there . Jayne was constantly remembering the last scene where Da Nuru and his wife were standing outside the shop and waving goodbyes to them . Thinking of which her crying became even more .
"Ronnie I owe them a lot . They've saved my life . I've to make sure that they are safe . How can I leave them all alone at such a critical moment? As of now, they're my only family . The only ones I know right now . Without even them, what would I do Ronnie?" Jayne was still crying .
Ronnie heaved out a long sigh and said, "Jayne I understand what you are feeling right now . But at such circumstances, standard operating procedures have to be followed . Okay how about this? let's go back to the Army headquarters and ask the General to let us extend our stay here until we find about Nuru . I'll inform my Assistant to flow back here . Will that be okay?"
"That's better . I'll agree with your plan . Let's go to the Army headquarters and talk to the General about this . I'm sure General will have a way out to help us . " Jayne replied with hopes written all over her face .
The one who was the most relieved was the subordinate, 'Finally they agreed to leave from here . It was my responsibility to protect them . If something happened to them, General would've cut me into pieces for sure . Thank heavens!' He sighed inwardly .
"Sir and Ma'am please get in . We'll drive back then . " The subordinate immediately offered .
Unwillingly, Jayne was about to step inside the jeep when she suddenly heard a voice from behind them .
