Vivek (holding a baby, shouts, coming out from behind the bin): Stay away from her, you
monster or I swear to God you are going to wish you had never entered my country!

Terrorist 2(Pointing his gun at Vivek): Not today you retired fool! Now you see, on a normal
military front you could have put up a fight with us, but here, you are just a sad little grandpa
against whom we have this adorable leverage.
Terrorist 1(smirks): Well said, you see Major, we are not scared of getting caught, we are just
here to send a message to your beloved minister that if he doesn’t release Qasib, we have
many more parks to attack. And what better to send a message than the chopped head of the
legendary retired Major Vikram Singh.

Avika (scared and crying, breaks down): Who are these men grandpa? What do they want
from us?

Terrorist 1: Well little girl, we just want our boss, and for that we need to kill your grandpa,
so start running now and we will kill you and your dog as well.

Avika (shouts angrily): You can’t! The police will be here soon and you will be in jail! My
grandpa will put you in jail.

Terrorist 2(laughs): That’s so sweet dear! You think your old and retired grandpa will be able
to fight us? Clearly Major, you have created a legendary image! Anyway, so as I was saying,
no my dear, the police will not be reaching here on time because, well guess what, we have
our brothers attacking more places right now, one of them being the minister’s rally!

We all know which site will be the priority for evacuation.

Vivek: You monsters! Let her go and I promise I will go with you peacefully. Harm one hair
on her head and I will tear you from limb to limb.

Avika: Grandpa no! You are no- (gunshot as terrorist 1 shoots Vivek in the knee) No!
Grandpa (sobs), are you okay, are you okay grandpa?

Terrorist 1: Relax, it’s just a bullet in his knee, I wanted to go for his head but we need to
create a scene if we want Qasib out. So well here you-

-----Roger bites terrorist 1 in his leg so hard that he tears off a piece of flesh. Terrorist 1 falls
to the ground with blood all over him and his gun on the ground, crying in pain----

Terrorist 2(points his gun towards Roger): You filthy anima- (gunshot, terrorist 2 is hit with a
bullet in his heart) Aah (voice breaking down) wait, how did this-

Vivek (holding terrorist 1’s fallen gun at terrorist 2): Nobody hurts my family or my country
and lives!

Avika: Grandpa watch out!

-------- Terrorist 1, injured on the ground, takes an aim at Vivek and shoots the gun. Roger
takes a huge leap and comes in between the bullet and Vivek-------

Avika (cries in pain, runs to Roger): No! Roger, Grandpa, he is bleeding so much, Roger open
your eyes, please Roger please!
