Chapter 1: The Dead Files [ hindi ]

New Delhi ke behad secure aur zameen se kai feet neeche bane core command center ke andar keval projector ki neeli roshni tair rahi thi. Us thandi hawa mein RAW Chief ke saamne screen par paanch profiles khulti hain, jin par bade-bade aksharon mein laal rang se 'DECLARED DEAD' ka stamp laga hua tha. Chief ne apni gambheer aur bhaari aawaaz mein saamne baithe officers se kaha ki hamein ek aisi team ki zaroorat hai jo is desh ke samvidhan (constitution) aur kaagzon ke liye kabhi paida hi nahi hui, kyunki agar ye pakde gaye toh desh inka naam tak nahi lega aur agar ye maare gaye toh inhe kafan bhi naseeb nahi hoga. Isi sannaate ko cheerte hue us bunker ka bhaari darwaza khulta hai jahan sabse pehle kadam rakhta hai Agent Ansh, jiske chehre par ek faoladi chamak thi aur uske theek bagal mein uska wafadar Belgian Malinois kutta 'Police' poori mustaidi se khada tha, jiske kaan khade the aur aankhein andhere ko bhaanp rahi تھیں. Ansh ke peeche ek-ek karke uske baaki bhai bhi bunker ki roshni mein aate hain, jinmein sniper Neem apni rifle ko kandhe par taange hue thi, heavy guns ka shaukeen Castro apni vishalkay riot shield ko zameen par tikata hai, chess master Horib apne hothon mein cigar dabaye muskura raha tha aur Flip apni kalai par bandhe high-tech keyboard par ungliyan chala raha था. Wahan Castro apni bhaari aawaaz mein hanste hue kehta hai ki Chief, marne ka dar use dikhao jiske paas khone ke liye zindagi ho, hum toh pehle se hi mare hue log hain! Aur isi ke saath 'Dead Men' team ka yeh pehla safar shuru hota hai jo desh ke un gaddaron ko mitaane ke liye tha jinhe kanoon chhoo bhi nahi sakta tha. Chief ne table par ek secret black file rakhi jis par 'Void Network' likha hua tha, aur Ansh ne bina ek pal ganwaye us file ko uthaya kyunki woh jaanta تھا ki is mission ke shuru hone ka matlab hai ki ab wapasi ka koi raasta nahi bacha tha. 'Police' ne dheere se apni poonch hilakar Ansh ke haath ko chhua, maano woh apne commander ko assure kar raha ho ki is maut ke safar mein woh uske saath aakhiri saans tak khada rahega. Bunker ki lights dheere-dheere maddham hone lagin aur screen par Mumbai ke us veeran dockyard ka map ubhar aaya jahan unka pehla target apni maut ka intezar kar raha tha. Ansh ne apne bhaiyon ki taraf dekha, sabki aankhon mein ek hi maqsad tha aur woh tha desh ke dushmanon ka bina kisi saboot ke poori tarah se namonishan mita dena. We sab jaante the ki aaj ke baad we kabhi aam insaano ki taraah dhoop mein nahi chal payenge, unka koi ghar nahi hoga aur na hi koi pehchan hogi, lekin unke liye unka desh aur unki aapsi dosti hi unka sabse bada mazhab ban chuki thi. Bunker ka darwaza phir se band hua aur 'Dead Men' ki pehli qataar andhere mein vileen ho gayi.
