KNIGHTS: The legendary fight between mind and manipulation (episode-2).

Next day,

Harsha- Success point consultancy, how may we help you?
Tina- How about quitting the job you have, as a start?
Harsha- Not now sweetheart. I have a whole farm to handle.
Tina- You are the in-charge?
Harsha - yes.
Tina- I thought you were a receptionist.
Harsha - 7 months ago.
Tina- Nice to know your skills increased ridiculously. Call me when you get home. It's about knights.
Harsha - Not interested in childhood's play T.
Tina- Not even with sunny being involved?
Harsha- 8 o clock. I shall call. Bye.
8:11 pm,
Harsha - Ok start talking.
Tina- 3 words, Sunny, 200 crores, 28 crores each.
Harsha- where are you guys?
Tina- Bangalore.
Harsha- Tomorrow, receive me.
Tina- Done!
Next day.
Harsha- You enjoy guys checking you out.
Tina- Compliment or insult?
Harsha- A bit of both.
Tina- Welcome H, let’s meet the others.

About an hour later....
Harsha - Whose apartment is this? Kind of small but well maintained.
Tina- Any guesses?
Harsha- Sunny?
Tina- Correct as usual. And here we are.
Harsha- After 6 years, we are here. All of us. Even the stinky hulk.
Gaurav- Yup, stink then too.
Sunny- Coffee?
Harsha- Not here for coffee, love!
Sunny- I insist.
Tina- Ok Sherlock! Stop insisting. The gang is here, what now?
Sunny- We have two jobs. The 1st one to fund the 2nd one.
Kush- Complicated guy.
Gaurav- Says the head scratcher.
Sunny-Enough! One thing must be cleared to all of you, behind every great fortune; there is a risk, a crime and a mystery. We may die doing this job. But if done, we can have different names and lives.
Harsha- What's the plan?
Sunny- Rajiv Khandelwal? Anyone?
Ibis- One of the top smugglers of our nation. Money laundry king, and other illegal things. Does everything in Delhi. But no one knows where he lives. Yes, then?
Sunny- We rob him.
Gaurav- Say what?
Kush- With all combination and permutations combined......
Nancy- Not now buddy. Calculations are not needed for funeral.
Tina- Are you insane?
Harsha- What's the plan?
Gaurav- Hey! Miss peanut brain. You out of your mind?
Sunny- You guys trust me?
Nancy- More than anything mate, but this is suicide.
Sunny- His son is in a college of Delhi. We use him to get to him. For the next 3 months, we do exactly what I say, no questions asked. I shall bring us through, no worries.
Harsha- I quit my job and brought some findings, I had a hunch, something big is coming.
Sunny- Not big. Gigantic. You guys in?
Knights- We are with you even to the gates of hell.

NEXT DAY…
Sunny- Morning everyone.
Ibis – What time is it?
Nancy – 7 am. Most people here don’t get up that early you know.
Sunny- They do now. Freshen up, everyone. We got a lot of things to do.

After an hour.
Sunny -Everyone’s here? I guess so.
Gaurav – It's half passed 8. You better have something important to discuss.
Sunny – For the 1st project, we choose someone who is a money laundry king but on a smaller basis.
Gaurav- I have a suggestion.
Sunny – Go ahead.
Gaurav – Sunil Tiwari. A merchant by fact but runs an almost next to legal, money laundry farm for the businessmen on a small scale.
Sunny – It is perfect.
Harsha- How to rob him?
Sunny- Harsha. You are up. Take a job in his farm and get close to him as much as possible.
We squeeze out every bit of information and then we rob him blindfolded.


We started following Sunil like a shadow with all his informations passed by Harsha. We took small jobs to blend in and avoid any doubts. While we were white collar fellows in the daytime, the night showed the real KNIGHTS.
I started making plans and Gaurav made the backup plans making sure we have a support if something goes wrong. Ibis was training us at shooting and martial arts incase we run into any face-to-face combat. 
Problems arrived occasionally but with Nancy, there is no problem that doesn't have a loophole. And Kush, always providing logic and statistics to the plan with all the online research needed. And Tina came up with a list of thing we need to take away his money.

After 6 months of intense planning with Harsha leaking informations and building up a personal relation to him. Finally, the day came when we proceed with our plans.

6 months later…
Harsha- Today he is going to make a deal of 7 crores. Since it is illegal; it's all cash. He will make the deal at the old abandoned biscuit factory.
Tina- What’s the plan.
Sunny- We take the position on the roof with guns. We shoot him and his associates and take the money. I already talked to someone who can provide us with 2 flats in Delhi on rent. We shift there immediately.
Tina- But we have no bullets and besides killing a money-laundry king will make a big fuss. What happened to 'keep a low profile'?
Ibis- With all due respect, the guns we have are accurate but are tranquilizer guns, not real guns. We cannot kill them.
Gaurav – Unless we don’t want to. Tina is right. Killing them would make a big fuss so we use horse tranqs. Put them to sleep, take their money run away and finally, they can’t do much since it was illegal money not to mention about the authorities not getting involved since they are alive. What’s the probability K?
Kush- 99% chances of success.
Gaurav- Any loopholes?
Nancy- None that I can think off.
Sunny- Grab you communicators and let’s go. And kush. No smoking! We don’t leave any clues behind. Ibis, Nancy, Gaurav. Get ready. Tina and Harsha shall board a flight to Delhi and we shall meet at the apartment at 10 am 3 days from now.

I handed them the apartment's address and went to the location.

Tina- Ok. Let’s go H.

1:30 am at the factory.

Gaurav- Here they come.
Sunny- The meeting is 20 mins from now. Check your positions, everyone.
Ibis- On the rooftop, with gun. Loaded.
Kush- Behind the third rail, approximate distance 100 meters.
Gaurav. Factory bars, behind the glass with binoculars. Check.
Sunny- Gaurav, what’s their status?
Gaurav- 3 bodyguards and the king is inside. How to get him out?
Sunny- He is a chain smoker, wait for it. He will come out eventually.

After 7 minutes…

Gaurav- There he is. Is everyone ready?
Kush- Ready.
Ibis- Ready.
Nancy- Loaded and ready.
Sunny- Call targets.
Ibis- One with the waistcoat.
Nancy- 'Long hairs' is mine.
Sunny. I take the third one. On my mark! Ibis take the king with your 2nd shot.
Ibis- 2nd shot, king! Got it.
Sunny- 1, 2, 3, go.

We fired 3 shots and took the 3 guards down and then Ibis shot Sunil and he was down as well.
Sunny- Kush, You are up. Take the bags and the darts and meet us at the rendezvous point.
We took the bags and moved towards an alley where we had parked our car. We drive us through to our flat. We divided the money into equal parts and went to 5 different destinations. I went to Kolkata and deposited as much money as possible to our accounts and directed everyone else to do the same. Kush and Gaurav went to Guwahati. Ibis and Nancy went to Delhi directly by flights.
