Chapter 277 - If I am not wrong, that is Alisha!

"Were you able to track his activities when he was still in the army? Were there any discrepancies?" Abishek asked out of the blue.

Pritham subconsciously first looked at Shreya for confirmation before answering, "No… except for some extended sick leaves, that guy did not even have a parking ticket. And from his financial status, I doubt he will be one of your people!!"

"No, he is not one of our… at least, not until I was handling things, he was not. And I really doubt, Naren would have reached out to this guy… especially given he was abroad this whole time out of the army."

"Then, how do you look like you are interested in this guy suddenly," Pritham asked.

"I am not interested in him… I am more interested in his time of retirement and his periods of sick leave… they almost directly correspond with Girish's assassination and that of Shreya's parents' murder." Abishek said going through the information in front of him more seriously.

Before any of them could react, Abishek opened his mouth and asked another question, "You said you guys found a maid on the scene of the crime on the island… do you have a photo?"

Pritham came back to his senses and operated on his tablet before projecting the photo on the screen behind Shreya…

Abishek's eyes frowned and stared at it intently for a while before shaking his head and asked again, "You have more material on her…? Any information will do?"

Pritham slides the information he has on the screen which was really not much to his utter frustration.

"We do not have anything on her… at least, not anything solid. She was born and brought up abroad… and suddenly seem to have shown up on the island." Pritham elaborated along with the slide.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#!_51672637000179065">#!_51672637000179065</a> for visiting.

"Do you know her? After all, the person she wanted was you? Or is she a hired gun as well?" Shreya asked looking at Abishek. After all, the list of people who wanted Abishek's life is a long one. It would take a really long time to rule out one by one.

Abhishek did not answer Shreya but instead asked another question, "You have more photos of her? Or will I be able to meet her?"

Everyone looked at Shreya for permission. Abishek met her eyes straight. Shreya gave a very slight nod.

Pritham cast a video on the screen. It was the CCTV footage of a club. It was retrieved from the night when Susmitha and the maid were seen together.

Abishek's eyes instantly flickered towards the screen unblinking. On the screen, the maid did something peculiar when she was about to get up by rubbing her knuckles against the bridge of her nose and Abishek instantly went ridged.

"It's really her…" He murmured shell shocked. He went dazed instantly as his mind went haywire.

"Who is she?" Shreya asked sitting up. Something in her told her that she is not going to like the answer coming out of Abishek at the moment.

Abishek came back to his senses as he heard Shreya and his whole body stiffened instantly as he tried to look up at her.

"If I am not wrong, that is Alisha!!" Abishek murmured in a whisper.

Shreya's jaw tightened instantly, "What did you just say?" She asked with blazing eyes.

"It should be Alisha… she probably went under a knife… plastic surgery of some sort. Her face can be changed but her mannerism cannot change…"

There was a suffocating silence for two full minutes before everyone reacted after letting the information sink in.

"I thought you said she had long died!! How did she come alive all of sudden??" Shreya asked. Her voice seethed with anger…

Abishek slightly shivered. But years of experience helped him to keep his voice straight as he explained.

"I thought so too… I mean as far as my information goes, her plane crashed in the Pacific years ago… right after your parents' death… But a few weeks before that, one of her safe houses was robbed… only she knew of that place apart from me. Back then I had doubts' maybe this was all planned by her to completely disappear. But then, I have never been able to find her anywhere… I made an extensive search. But never found any traces of foul play or escape. So, I never thought about it again… Until I saw this… I never thought she might have had a partner in all these years." Abishek explained looking over the information in front of him.

Alisha…

She was Karthick's wife and one of the people's worked for the syndicate. She was top of her game… extremely skilled.

Unlike most of the people there, she was one person who was not trained by the army. Instead, she came from the other side of the spectrum. She was trained by a criminal organization from when she was a kid.

And one fine day, that kid grew up and accepted a job from the rival organization and killed each and every last person in her own organization and walked away over the bloody bodies without remorse.

When Abishek first came to know of this, he was very reluctant to hire her. But Girish's assassination was a risk they couldn't take without appropriate people. And Alisha was perfect for it…

They had never really used her before that case even though they knew about her.

But Karthik found out about her and her job at the last moment and rushed to Girish's place to stop her but it was already too late…

Alisha was already done with her job when Kathick came to the scene of the crime and Alisha was spotted by Karthick while she was fleeing from the scene.

"You are telling me the person directly responsible for my parents' death is still alive and breathing?" Shreya asked gritting her teeth.

Abishek hung his head down and nodded his head.

The room went utterly silent all over again. Nobody even dared to breathe loudly.
