“Keep an eye on the boat,” said inspector Raghav.
“But Sir, I think they will use roadway,” said Arjun
“Roadway is too risky, difficult to escape, the waterway is easier. He is a trained underwater diver” there was scorn in Raghav’s voice.
“How do you know he is trained?”
“I do my homework”
“But Sandra is not trained.”
“He doesn’t care if she dies. He has many women in his life.”
“But I care”
“What do you mean?” Raghav turned towards Arjun in surprise.
“Sandra is my ex-wife. I cannot let her die”
“She left you for him?”
Arjun nodded.

Oh, not that stings! Poor guy.
Great twist to the story. The accomplice is a former lover/wife/relation. Not easy to accept when on the other side of the law, and certainly not in these circumstances.

She’s his ex-wife, and he still cares? Well that complicates things, doesn’t it? I wonder how it will all work out!

Dear Balaka,
I feel for him. Arjun is tenderhearted and cares more for Sandra than she deserves. Nicely done.
Shalom,

WoW fiction! I didn’t really expect this last bit thinking we are going for a nail-biting chase. I think that you should continue in a long story adding spice to it and why not set in Goia.
