Scene 26 - Bangalores Own Pirates Of The Caribbean!!!

PDSC and the CAT girls tiptoed into the living room of Merlin's house. They could hear some sounds emanating from the kitchen. Dinner was getting ready.

Harini: [sniffing around, excited]: Mmmmmmm, bisi bela hulli anna madthaidaaray ansuthe!!!!

Sheetal: [glaring] Heyyyy quiet!!!!!!

PDSC looked around figuring out what to do. His brow was creased, layers of flesh cascading in a wavelike pattern. He had his mouth firmly closed and then stretched it wide. Like attempting to smile. It helped him to release tension. He looked all around. The suspect was definitely in some closed room. Since he lived with his parents he would indulge in whatever he did in a clandestine manner. Any room with open doors was a waste of time.

Someone seemed to move from the kitchen. "Who is that?" They could hear a lady's voice and as they quickly took cover behind the curtains, they heard the lady speak to herself. "Aiyyoo Raama!! Ask him to get salt quickly and he goes out leaving the door open!!! In these days and times, it is such a risk" The CAT girls and PDSC watched the lady close and bolt the door, and then she looked towards a staircase that seemed to go to a lower level. The lady walked closer to the staircase and yelled. "Merlinnnnnnnnnn!!! Dont study so hard, come up soon, dinner is getting ready." She moved back towards the kitchen, speaking to herself. "You lock yourself up down there while inside the house, and your father leaves the front door open without a care!!!"

Sheetal smiled. So there was a basement here. She looked at PDSC and Harini. They exchanged nods and quietly tiptoed down to the basement. As they walked down, Harini pulled out her Magnum.

PDSC: [rolling his eyes and whispering aloud] Aiiyoo Raama!! Yenadhu?????

Harini: Gothilva??? [Dont you know?] Dirty Harrynalli Clint Eastwood used this gunnu!!!! [she smiled very happily].

Sheetal: [annoyed] Hey put it away for now.

PDSC: [laughing] yeah yeah, I have a different weapon to use.

As Sheetal pulled our her hairpin in preparedness to tackle a locked door, she noticed to her surprise that the door was not locked. There was very dim lighting, and they pushed the door silently. A huge area came into view, and they stood there in utter shock.

The basement was huge. Atleast about thirty feet long and about fifteen feet wide. They could see the back of Merlin. Seated at a long desk. And the wall in front of him had monitors. The monitors seemed to be focused into homes of people. They could see a living room, they could see several bedrooms, bathrooms. One of the screens displayed a couple watching TV. Another showed Chiranthan doing an imaginary dance with an imaginary girl in his arms. Yet another showed a bedroom, the focus being directly on the bed. Three screens that were focused on the bathrooms had no action. And they saw Musten with his back, busy typing away into a keyboard.

Merlin seemed to have some control unit that enabled him to zoom in closer. Merlin zoomed into the laptop monitor apparently trying to read what was being typed. The couple watching TV suddenly got up and embraced. Merlin seemed to react. He let go the screen covering Musten, and turned his attention to the screen showing the couple. The couple seemed to move into another room. Merlin flicked a few switches and they saw another room come into view. A bedroom. They saw the couple enter that room.

Sheetal: [agitatedly] Oh my gawddddddddddd!!! We have a voyeur here, a scene straight out of Sliver!!!!

PDSC: [he grinned] Hmmmm, yessss, this fellow is into making amateur porno flicks!!!

Harini: [crestfallen] Aiiyoo Raama! Is he not a terrorist then? [she looked at Sheetal] What do we do? Shall we just catch him and tell High Command he was a spying terrorist?

PDSC: [grinning wickedly] shhhhh, wait wait, let us watch some action! [gleefully] See what that couple are now doing?

Sheetal swung hitting PDSC on the back of his neck, making his pony tail swing.

Sheetal: PERVERT!!! Let's go get him.

PDSC scowled. He was a cop, a feared one who even the toughest rowdies wouldn't even look in the eye, and this girl had hit him!!

Sheetal: Come on!!! What are you thinking?

PDSC shook his head to clear himself. And they moved towards Merlin, who was zooming onto the couple. Reaching from behind, PDSC threw his arm around Merlin's neck grabbing him by total surprise. Harini moved in front, legs spread and holding the Magnum with both hands, and Sheetal looking on intently. A terrified Merlin looked at them, eyes rolling in fear.

Merlin: Aiiyoo Raama!!! What is this? You can take whatever you want please don't shoot me!

Sheetal: Shoot? You better tell us what you are upto here?

PDSC: Producing porn films what else???

Merlin: [choking] Aiiyooo noooo nooooo. I am not!!!!!

PDSC used his other hand to pull out some white looking objects from his pocket. He tightened his arm around Merlin's neck, making him open his mouth.

PDSC: Look at this!!! There are two sleeping tablets and two laxatives!!! If you dont tell me the truth, I am going to make you swallow all these!!

Merlin: [choking badly] uh huh [shakes his head]

PDSC loosens his hold and Merlin coughs.

Merlin: Aiiyoo!! No no, I am spearheading a campaign against procreation!!!

Sheetal: [glaring] What? Campaign against procreation!! Who the hell are you to do that? And you watch people like this??

Merlin: No no, once I know who are into procreation, we go to their houses and............

PDSC: Yenu, live show bere beka??? [What? You want to watch them live]
Merlin: Nooooo, we are fighting against population growth, thats all!!!!

PDSC: I don't believe you man!!! I think you are part of the match fixing gang. Aren't you and Sarkar working together???

Merlin: Sarkar?? The only Sarkar is know is Big B!! Love his films!!!

Harini: Aiiyoo Rama!! I am getting tired of holding this gun!!

Merlin: Give me the gun!! I will hold it for you!!

PDSC slams his elbow into Merlin's neck, making him yell in pain.

PDSC: Tell me what your involvement with the match fixing is!!!

Merlin: Aiyo, I don't know anything!! Please leave me!! Who are you people.

Sheetal: Hey PD, what is this match fixing thing you are talking of?

PDSC wonders whether he made a mistake. What if these girls took the entire credit for this operation? Anyway, they had not achieved anything yet.

PDSC: uh huh nothing nothing

Sheetal: Come on!! Tell us, it could be something serious man!!

PDSC: Arre nothing. It is not relating to any terrorist activity at all yaar. It is some match fixing for the next Cricket World Cup in the Caribbean.

Sheetal: Ohh!!!

Harini's phone rings.

Harini: Hello!

Chets: Hey, I got a lead for you girls. I got a call from a person in Dubai. She is scared to death. The Wood has given her orders to go the Caribbean! Something seems to be happening there! I have connected her with a guy in Germany for now. Hope she lands him into some serious trouble too!! [giggles]

Harini: Ok, thanks!! We will check it out.

As Harini disconnects the call, Sheetal arches her eyebrows!

Sheetal: Now this is getting interesting! You are talking of match fixing and The Wood is sending someone there.

PDSC: Hmmmm

Sheetal: I think there is some connection. Underworld and cricket connections.

PDSC looked crestfallen. Now this will surely go out of his hands. This girl was linking up match fixing to the underworld and will then tag it to terrorism.
At that point PDSC's cell phone rings. It was from the Police Station he was incharge of.

PDSC: Hello!!

Constable: Saar!! Namaskara!!!

PDSC: Namskara. Tell me

Constable: Saar, this new fellow in jail is shouting all the time saar!!

In the background the voice of JJ booms in again. "YENDHAAA SAAAR!!! LYYFE IMPRISHIONMENT!!!!"

PDSC: Hey, who is that? I don't recognise that voice

Constable: Saar, he was booked by Sarkar. I have put them with the Ayah Park rowdies.

PDSC: Oh, ok, are the Ayah Park rowdies behaving?

Constable: Yes saar!!

PDSC: OK ok, I will come there and deal with this fellow.

As PDSC disconnects the phone, Sheetal stares at him.

Sheetal: What was that? You were talking of Ayah Park rowdies???

PDSC: Yeah yeah, those fellows Ramesh and Vince.

Sheetal: Aiiyoo Raama!! They are our very good informers you fool!!! Let them out right now!!! Let them out right now, and let’s take them to the Caribbean to nab The Wood

PDSC: WHAT???? [looks in shock]. You want these drug addicts there? They wont even catch a crippled fly for you!!

Sheetal: [grinning] Set a thief to catch a thief!!!! Let them go there as the Pirates of the Caribbean!

PDSC: Aiyooo Raama!!!!

Sheetal: [turning to Harini] Ask High Command to order a Cessna Caravan 675 immediately. Lets go!!!

PDSC looked at Merlin, who is slumped in the chair. PDSC then laughed aloud and popped all the four tablets into his mouth.

Harini: Hey, didn't you say....

PDSC: hehehe that was just peppermintuuuuu!!!!

As they were about to move, they saw Musten turn. He faced the spy cam now. Getting up, he walked to the door and opened it. Standing in front of him was VikHash Dhishkiaoon
