Part 5: Danger unknown, Yet

Before digging deep into the story, lets see what has happened till now.
Part 1: Darkness, unseen or foreseen?
Part 2: Rush of emotions, untold
Part 3: The e-mail that coupled lives
Part 4: Commitment that betrayed

What? What exactly does "we have only 200 minutes mean"?

Get in the car, I'll tell you everything.

Wait, where are we going?

Hurry up Isha, get in! And listen very carefully to me, every thing I am gonna say and every place we are gonna go tonight would be of some consequence!

Don't freak me out Rahul, tell me what the hell has been going on?

Well, there are a lot of things, I don't really know where to start from. Ok, I'll try to make you understand!
Sameer, is in deep trouble.

Oh my god, Rahul, you are telling this for the 1000th time. I know this now. 

Let me complete. He is in trouble but what makes it worse is the fact that he is unaware of it.

What????

Yes. Now listen. His hacking instincts have done him in. I don't know whether to be happy about that he hacked that day or to be sad about it, perhaps I should be grateful, to God, but at the same time I don't really know whether to be actually grateful or not.

Fine, go on, may be at some point I would understand what actually is happening and has happened.

Ok, Sameer hacked into Rajiv's account one day, and read some confidential mails. The mails disclosed details about a deal that Rajiv is going to sell a major portion of their company to another party. Yes, and by selling the company, it means that he is only going to sell the land, and every one working currently at their  company would be left unemployed. And what was more important was the fact that Kenny, Shireen and Sameer would execute that deal, and, unknowingly!

What the.....!! 

But if Sameer knows about it, he should not go forward with the deal, cancel the project, or tell all the employees about Rajiv, I mean whatever could possibly be done, shall be done!

Exactly what Sameer thought. But then things aren't always as they appear to be. There are people in the office who are working for the "other party", and Sameer does not know who are they, and how many of them are there. And if Sameer goes forward with this project and signs the deal, then the blame for this would rest on shoulders of Sameer.

God!!! The least he can do is withdrawing himself from the deal.

Yes, that is the same course of action he is pursuing, he has dropped a mail to Rajiv that he can't work any further on the project.

Thank God!

Well, you spoke too soon. When Sameer hacked into Rajiv's account he left some loopholes, and Rajiv lead himself through them to find out that Sameer knows everything about the project. And Sameer does not know this fact. He is totally unaware that if he does not sign the deal before 3 a.m, the game could get dirty.

Damn, its 12.30 already!

But what if he does not sign. I mean, what can Rajiv do?

Rajiv might not do anything, someone else would.

Who?

I told you that whatever I am gonna say would have some consequence. 

What exactly?

The other party as I said.

What? Who is the other party, and what they are gonna do?

Karan.

What, Karan, Sameer's brother?

His step brother.`
