"What happened?" asked Vishal stopping beside a car stalled on the road. 

"I don't know, it just died," replied Aman.

"I can give you a lift up to Nadiad if you want me to. I am not sure you will find anything this late in the night. You can come back in the morning with the mechanic"

Aman picked up his bag, locked the car, and got into Vishal's car.

"Hi, I am Aman."

" I am Vishal."

"Thanks, you are a godsend. My mobile had also died. I didn't know what I would have done if you would have not come".

"It is not a big deal. Anybody would have helped you."

"What do you do Vishal?" asked Aman

"I own a restaurant in Nadiad," replied Vishal

"I own a small finance company in Baroda," Aman continued the conversation when Vishal didn't speak.

"I know," replied Vishal 

Aman was confused to hear that and failed to notice that the car was no longer on the highway, but had taken a turn off-road.

"How do you know me," asked Aman.

Vishal didn't reply and kept on driving.

"HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?" shouted Aman

Aman finally realised they were not on the highway. "Where are you taking me? Stop the car".

Vishal finally stopped the car in an isolated spot.

"Get out of the car".

Aman was too scared and did as he was told. It was when he saw the dug-up empty grave, did he realise what was going to happen to him.

"Please, please don't do this. I have a wife and a 3-year-old child. I don't even know you. Why are you doing this to me," pleaded Aman

"Yes, you do. Remember Tania!" said Vishal before shooting Aman in the head.
