Mrs Taneja was in the living room watching a television programme. She saw Nikki and said, ‘Hello, dear.’ Then looking at her face she seemed shocked, ‘Why, you look haggard! What is the matter?’ ‘I took a road trip with my friend. It was very exhausting.’ Mrs Taneja frowned looking a little disbelieving. ‘It is almost dinner time. Why don’t you freshen up and join us for the meal.’ ‘Aunty, can I have dinner in my room? I am very tired and want to sleep early,’ said Nikki. ‘No problem. I will ask Savitri to take your dinner to your room.’ ‘Thanks Aunty,’ said Nikki. Nikki took a shower and changed. Trembling, she sat down on the bed and started thinking about the nightmarish experience she had been through in the last two days. She was lucky, for the Tanejas thought she was with friends! Not only had the last couple of days been an emotionally traumatic experience, she had also lost all the evidence: Asha Sayal’s letter, her bank statement, Jyoti’s photograph, Feroz’s pencil sketch and even the contact details given by Inspector Rajan.
