Raj looked with his raised eyebrows as the vehicle came to a halt. Aakash’s father stepped out and asked the boys to jump in the vehicle.
Raj and Kiran told their parents that they were going to Aakash’s house and they may be a bit late in the evening. Grumpy looking Sabina was not at all happy with the decision of the parents and was about to throw a tantrum when Raj’s mother said, “It is their holidays Didi let them enjoy.”
“Wuff Wuff!” Bosky was standing near Kiran as if he also wanted to go.
“Ok guys take him too!” laughed Aakash’s father as he opened the rear door for the Alsatian.
When the group took off the five were taken by surprise. Aakash’s father told them that their group has already been registered with the Private Detectives and that they already had a project to start working on immediately.
Raj and Aakash gave a glance at the excited group as they could not believe that they were already on a move.
They pulled in front of the huge gate of Aakash’s house. The vehicle pulled down the porch and Aakash’s father gestured them to follow inside.
“Young Squad, I have some important news for you all,” Aakash’s father sounded like an admiral instructing his troop. “Today after noon a boy was kidnapped near the Down Town. You all know that the area of the Down Town is quiet remote and silent in the afternoon. It was at that time when the boy was kidnapped.”
“Any clues?” Raj tried to sound like a detective.
“Not really. Except for the tyre marks of the vehicle in which the kidnappers had fled with the boy.” Aakash’s father said shrugging his shoulders.
“Oh! Then it’s very simple! Just follow the car trail and we will reach the place where the boy is held up! I read about Hansel and Gretel and how they returned home in my school’s library book!” Kiran added excitedly in her squeaky voice.
“Please keep your mouth shut Kiran!” Raj shouted at his sister.
“Let her speak. In an investigation the first rule is that you ought to respect the ideas of every member the group. You never know when a remote idea may click and it may be of help to you,” Aakash’s father added as he taught the first rule to be a detective.
“Yes, to continue with, there is some more news for your group. All we know about the boy is that he had come here a few days ago with his school for a sight seeing and also to play interschool basket ball matches which will begin this Friday. Raj!Your school also takes part in the interschool matches? Doesn’t it?”
“Yes uncle every year our school also takes part and wins. But since the last two years it was the St. Joseph’s Boys which had been winning the match title and the trophy.” Raj and Ricky added together.
“Can this kidnapping be due to match rivalry daddy?” asked Aakash hopefully looking at his father who was busy talking out something from a bag lying near him.
“Cant say any thing now guys. This is your first assignment and I wish you all the success. Here are some Walky Talkies for the boys. Remember that you are on a mission to help a boy who is in trouble. Always work in group and pairs and never leave the girls alone. Trust and Faith are the two key factors which help you to solve a mystery. All of you will be keenly observed by the rouges without your knowledge and so it is very important to maintain your secrecy,” reminded Aakash’s father.
“Daddy every operation has a unique name. Can we also give some name to our operation?” interrupted Aakash.
“Operation Squadron!” retorted Suzy and all accepted at once.
By now it was already evening and the sun was setting behind the mountains. Taking leave from Aakash, they departed their way home promising to meet at the annex at 8pm that day after having their dinner so as to discuss their plan of action.
On their way back home Suzy and Ricky were taken aback when they saw the huge iron gate of ‘The Villa’ open. Outside the gate the sign board read, " HOUSE FOR SALE".
Curiosity made them push the gate which made a loud creaking noise…….
