Part 1: Darkness: unseen, or foreseen?

It was going to be critical, he knew it. He felt like taking the risk. For some reason, he, for the first time was listening to his heart than his mind. 4 hours was the time span he had to do it in.

Flashback

Sameer works in a large multinational company. The company is basically a software company, and owing to his avid interest in software, and hacking particularly, he loved working there. One night, it got a bit too late for him to depart as his home was far away from the office. So, Sameer decided to stay back till morning in the office, and leave in the morning. He was done with the assignment he was provided with.

Over the years, Sameer learnt a lot about hacking, and its advantages, and was too keen to practically witness his learning. He got started with his stuff. 

His eagerness, and excitement grew in direct proportion to the darkness of the night. He did not realize when his willingness was turning evil.

Back to the present

4 hours were counting down on him. He was tensed, he knew Sameer wasn't wrong intentionally, or he still isn't, for that matter. But the matter had become far too severe and critical now. Tensed like he never had been, he thought of calling Isha, one whom he used to fall back to always.

He took out his cellphone, dialled Isha's number. He disconnected, perhaps, before it could even connect. He was panicking. He dialled again.

"Hey Isha!!"

"Where have you been, idiot, I have been trying your number for long now, you don't bother to call back?", Isha said, unaware of all the happenings.

Rahul paused for a while. Isha, being too close a friend sensed the silence.

"Rahul, what happened?"

"It's serious. It really is."
