Well boys” he said “today is booking out day”. All senior boys who wish to book out may give their names to the house Prefect. But remember boys, to be back by six in the evening; it’s the dead line”. Robin Singh a student of Class X looked at the sky. It was bright and sunny. Oh! He thought what fun to cycle out for a long cross country ride. His thoughts were interrupted by a gentle tap on his shoulder. It was the Vice Principal, Mr. Gopal Singh.
“Hey Robin, what’s your plan? Going for a swing on your cycle?” he asked.
“Sir” Robin replied

The entire school knew that Robin was an ace long distance cyclist. Only at the last state level meet he had won the 10,000 meters race in record time. His sports master had high hopes of Robin making it big on the international scene.
Robin set out on his cycle a sleek Raleigh gifted to him after his last victory by the Raja of Dewas. He drove under a clear blue sky towards the nearby Military cantonment of MHOW or as the British called it the Military Headquarter of War. at breakneck speed as he tested the machine and his own endurance to the limit. He soon crossed the cantonment which was about twenty miles from his school. In a few moments Mhow was left behind. The road now became quite desolate with hardly a pedestrian and only the odd truck to keep him company. He headed forward and soon saw a small road winding away among the hills. He slowed down and turned into a side road. It was a lonely road lined all along with lush green trees. After a few minutes he decided to take a rest and parked his cycle under the shade of a large Banyan tree. Taking out his canteen from the small bag at the back of his cycle, he took a swish of the cold water and thought of the next state level meet. He meant to win it. Just then he was startled to see the flight of birds from a tree some distance away. Obviously the birds had been frightened. Intrigued he put the bottle back and looked in the direction of the flight of the birds. A moment later he heard a scream. It was a chilling sound that shattered the tranquility of the area. He looked in the direction of the sound. Just ahead was a small hill that hid the horizon from his eyes. The spirit of adventure fired him as he headed towards the small hill. He was sure the scream was that of a man, perhaps in dire danger. He quickly climbed the hill and taking shelter behind a clump of trees looked down. An eerie sight met his eyes. A brown colored jeep was parked and near it stood four men. It was apparent that one of the men was held firmly by two of the men while a third man stood in front. Robin noted that he wore dark glasses with curved dagger in his right hand.
Instinctively he hit the ground and looked on, fearful that he had stumbled at the scene of a gigantic crime. The man with dark glasses hissed “Karim Bhai, why do you want to die. Tell us where the opium is and I will let you go scot free.” The man called Karim whimpered “Patel sahib, spare me… I don’t have the opium.”
