The moment Major Bhargav stepped into the room, Naina’s heart skipped a beat. She knew they had crossed a dangerous line by taking those documents, and now they were trapped. Bhargav’s smirk was enough to send chills down her spine.

“Did you really think you could get away with this?” Bhargav’s voice was calm, but the underlying threat was unmistakable. His eyes flickered toward the folder in Naina’s hand. “I must admit, I’m impressed. But you’ve made a fatal mistake.”

Naina held the folder tightly against her chest, trying to steady her breath. “We’re not afraid of you, Bhargav,” she said, her voice firm. She looked around at her friends, who were silently prepared to act if necessary. “You won’t get away with this. We have everything we need to expose you and Lala.”

“Do you think anyone will believe you?” Bhargav laughed, stepping closer. “You have no idea who you’re dealing with. Lala Gehlot has powerful allies, and so do I. You’re just a bunch of cadets. You won’t survive long enough to make it to the Brigadier.”

Naina felt a surge of anger, but she didn’t let it show. “We’re not backing down,” she declared, her resolve unshaken. “We’ll take this straight to the Brigadier, and you’ll be exposed for what you are. The truth is bigger than you.”

Bhargav’s face darkened. “You think Brigadier Chandok will stand by you? You’re naïve. He’s in my pocket, just like everyone else who matters around here.” He took another step forward, his eyes gleaming with menace. “You won’t win this fight. No one can.”

Before anyone could react, Yudi grabbed Naina’s arm, pulling her back. “We need to move, Naina. We’re surrounded. We don’t have much time.”

“Yudi’s right,” said Aalekh, his voice steady. “We’ll get the evidence to the Brigadier, but we need to stay one step ahead of Bhargav and Lala.”

Naina nodded, her mind racing. They had no choice but to leave before things escalated further. “We’ll go now,” she whispered. “We’ll meet the Brigadier, and we’ll make him listen.”

But just as they turned to leave, Major Bhargav lunged forward, his hand grabbing Yudi’s arm. “You won’t get away that easily,” he growled, pulling out a gun from his waistband. “Not without a fight.”

The tension in the room spiked. For a moment, Naina was paralyzed, unsure of how to act. She could feel the danger closing in on them, but she wasn’t about to let Bhargav stop them. She glanced at Rajveer, who had been silently observing the entire situation from the corner of the room.

In an instant, Rajveer moved toward Bhargav, disarming him with the precision of a trained officer. “Let them go, Bhargav,” Rajveer ordered, his voice cold. “This fight isn’t with them. You and I have unfinished business.”

For a moment, Bhargav hesitated, clearly taken aback by Rajveer’s sudden intervention. But he recovered quickly, his gaze narrowing. “You’ve chosen the wrong side, Rajveer. You can’t protect them forever.”

Rajveer didn’t flinch. “I’ve made my choice,” he said, his voice unwavering. “And I’ll do whatever it takes to stop you and Lala.”

With Bhargav momentarily subdued, Naina and her friends made a run for it, dashing through the dark corridors of KMA. They couldn’t afford to waste a second. The longer they stayed, the greater the risk of being caught. The evidence was their key to ending this nightmare, but they had to act fast.

As they reached the exit, Naina’s phone buzzed. She glanced at the screen and saw an unknown number flashing. It was a call from Captain Abhimanyu Rai Chauhan, a former ally of Rajveer and Naveen. Naina quickly answered.

“Naina,” Abhimanyu’s voice crackled through the phone. “I heard about what’s happening. You need to be careful. Bhargav and Lala are moving fast, and they know you have the evidence. They won’t let you walk out of KMA without a fight.”

Naina’s heart raced. “I know, Abhimanyu. We’ve already been confronted, but we have to make it to Brigadier Chandok. He’s the only one who can help us now.”

Abhimanyu’s voice was urgent. “Don’t go to him yet. It’s a trap. Bhargav and Lala have eyes everywhere. They’re watching his every move. You need to go to the one place they won’t expect: the military archives. I have a contact there who can help you get everything into the right hands.”

Naina’s eyes widened. The archives. It was the one place KMA couldn’t afford to lose control over, and it held records of every operation, every covert mission, and every piece of incriminating evidence. “Are you sure?” she asked, her voice filled with doubt.

“Trust me,” Abhimanyu said. “I’ll help you get the evidence where it needs to go. But you need to be quick, and you need to stay out of their reach.”

Naina looked at her friends. They didn’t have much time. “Alright, we’ll go to the archives,” she said, determination flooding her. “We can do this.”

As they headed toward the archives, Naina couldn’t shake the feeling that they were being watched. Every step felt like it could be their last, but she pushed the fear aside. They had the truth on their side. They just had to make it through.

But as they neared the archives, they were intercepted once more—this time by Captain Gunraj Singh Randhawa, a trusted ally of both Rajveer and Naveen. Gunraj’s face was grim as he stepped out of the shadows.

“I’ve been waiting for you,” Gunraj said, his voice low. “There’s no time to explain, but you’re walking right into a trap. Bhargav and Lala are ready for you. They know everything. The Brigadier... he’s one of them.”

The bombshell hit Naina like a ton of bricks. “What? You mean Brigadier Chandok?”

Gunraj nodded solemnly. “Yes. You need to act fast. There’s no time to lose. You’ve got the evidence, but now you need to expose them all. We’ll help you get it to the right people, but you need to be prepared. This fight won’t be over until Lala and Bhargav are behind bars.”

Naina’s grip tightened on the folder, determination surging through her once more. “Then we’ll make sure it’s over. For Naveen. For Rajveer. For everyone who’s been wronged.”

With Gunraj leading them to a secure exit, Naina knew they were at the precipice of something bigger than any of them had imagined. The truth was out, but the battle was far from over. This was only the beginning of their fight for justice.
