Scene 16 – PDSC Cracks The Code

PDSC got back to Tuscan Verve. To finish another beer. He was excited. He had probably stumbled on something really big. Really big. He noticed a few folks from BBN having a discussion. About some mixer. Friday night. Free for the girls. He gulped the beer down, and thought of the images he had seen and what he had heard. Hair rising stuff. He plucked at his short pigtail and smiled.

The BBN and Tuscan Verve guys had come to some agreement. They were now shaking hands. He now had to plan the next move really carefully. Who can he trust? Trust not to take the limelight away from him? Nobody.

The moment he had seen Sarkar’s face on the video screen he had become alert. PDSC remembered him from his Ryze page and the posts. He mentioned he also played some cricket. Worked for the CID. Was he involved? Whom can you trust these days!! He seemed to be the connection for the next big cricket betting scheme covering the next World Cup! Aiyoo Raaamaa! It all made sense to PDSC now. The Australians were fully into it now. They wanted to win the WC at any cost. Like a jig-saw puzzle, the pieces fell into place now. The first move had been to plant Greg Chapps as coach. And he made sure Saurav Dada was thrown out of the team!! The next logical target was the nemesis of Aussies. Laxman. He recalled reading on the cricket forum that VVS had been the highest scorer of runs in the previous year, with the maximum hundreds. He was also thrown out. The Australian trainers and phsyio! Aiyo Rama!! No wonder Sachin was also unfit with his elbow first, and now shoulder! Aiyo Raaama!!! How diabolical! They also had another Aussie coaching Sri Lanka! No wonder India defeated SL so easily. The Ozzies were at work. And to think that Sarkar was the kingpin of the deals out of India. How did he get connected? Probably the connection of his state-mate Shib Sundar Das! He played a while for India!! That was it!!! PDSC smiled. He was able to thread together the various pieces. It was all so logical. Was the underworld involved too? Was there a Dubai or a Karachi connection? Can’t be ruled out.
