The apartment is near about empty thanks to CORONA version 2021. Hardly anyone stays here. The corona continuation has changed the lives of everyone including people who use illegal means to earn money. Swatilekha stayed on the 3rd floor of Venus splenta apartment in Mumbai, vila parle. Everyone has left the place except a nerdy guy who stays locked in his room doing IT stuff. God damn IT guys doing work from home. All they understand is the technical world, stuff, and the latest technology. In the last 1 month, Swatilekha has seen this guy maybe a couple of times that too with a laptop in his hand. Decent unknown guy with an unsmart, monkey-like smile. Swatilekha is thinking about last night's heist she did. The assignment came to her via email. All she had to do is steal a secret pen drive that contains the financial data of Reven Inc an analytics MNC basically a startup company. Rival MNC gave her the contract. The work was done easily. The Vice President was out of town and his wife, a newly married young sweet girl was all alone. Swatilekha went to the flat. There were hardly any neighbors. Swatilekha introduced herself as a salesgirl selling perfumes. The victim was too innocent and defenseless. Swatilekha put chloroformed handkerchief and then tied her hands and legs together. The pen drive was lying on the table. It was a cakewalk for her. The tied victim was like, “ mmmmmmmm “ but her mouth was tied and hands tied behind her back. All she can do is struggle helplessly and watch. 15 lakhs credited into Swatilekha account on Bank of Mauritius.

 

Although the workflow is so less for her this kind of easy money for a freelance criminal is getting her rich. All she is doing is relaxing and talking to her parents who stay in Chennai. Her parents do not know what she exactly does. They know that she is an MNC corporate employee who is working in Mumbai. Her parents are so proud of their daughter’s achievements. Swatilekha has created a fake virtual world for her parents so that they believe in it. It is done with perfection. Initially, she used to bag packing stuff while she was in her college days, transporting drug packets, smuggling drugs from Mumbai to Nasik, Nasik to Mumbai. Her 1st contract came to her when a 3 rd year BTech student, nerdy fellow who has filed a legal draft on a gaming company. That nerdy boy was having a very strong case. The company gave the contract to kill the boy to Swatilekha. Not a very tough case but it was her 1st contract killing. The boy came to a multiplex to watch a movie. Swatilekha was following the target. When he entered the washroom she silently went inside dressed as a cleaning staff girl. She had an injection in her hand, a drug dose which she plunged on his neck. He becomes semi-conscious. Swatilekha tied his hands and choked him to death. Then she untied his hands and put drugs in his mouth. A simple case of drug overdose and suicide. Poor victim but this was the debut of Swatilekha as a contract killer. Maybe now she has millions in her account.

 

There was a sudden knock on the door. Swatilekha opened the door. A courier boy handed over a box to her and left. Swatilekha was surprised. On top of the box, something is written, “THE LAST GIFT”. Swatilekha opened the box. A small BLUETOOTH DEVICE, a pen drive and a letter with something written in it. Swatilekha was a bit amused and opened the letter.

“Hi dear, you do not know me. But I know who you are exactly. Your innocent face hides the demon inside you. Today things will get exposed. The pen drive has some videos in it. Please play them. You will love them. Love ya. “ Swatilekha got a bit nervous. She quickly played the videos. It was shocking. The 1st one is a clip when she did an ATM heist by withdrawing 50 lakhs from an ATM vault. Before the action, she deactivated all the CC TV footage around but this one is shot from a close circuit camera hidden. It has a clear visual of Swatilekha's face. Swatilekha got an email alert. It was a message from an unknown sender.

 

 

// “ I hope by this time you have known that it is no prank and I do have all evidence rather all database, thesis of all crimes, murders you have done. 2 months back you poisoned a lawyer in the courtroom canteen. Let me send you the video footage. I was thinking if I release this footage on social media how it will be dear. “ //  Swatilekha panicked and opened the attached video clipping. It was indeed no joke. Swatilekha took a contract to kill a lawyer. All she did is put a heart attack instigating poison in the cold drink of the lawyer he was about to have. Rest was just the headline. A perfect, clean murder that looked like a heart attack. Swatilekha replied on the mail, “what is that you want”

 

The reply came from another end, “well thank you for replying I already got what I want. I have access to your Bank account in Mauritius. Let me send you a screenshot. A screenshot came from the other end which literally made Swatilekha fell on her knees. The bank account is 0 someone has totally cleaned her bank account. Now she has nothing. All she earned so much in her career through illegal activities are drained. There came a reply from another end.

 

// “Hi dear so you like my gift. Now let’s play a game. Since the game has started let's proceed further. Open your Facebook account go live and tell on life that you are an evil person, a harmful girl who harms people and you are absolutely pissed off with your life. You have 4 minutes to do it and if I do not see you live the videos will be sent to your parents, o gosh their one and only daughter is a murderer, a criminal. Your dad will be able to take the sudden shock. He might die of chest pain. “//

 

Swatilekha had no option but to listen to the instruction. She opened Facebook live, “Hi everyone, I am sorry I had harmed people who are innocent, I am an evil girl and I am so pissed off with my life. May Be I do not deserve to live at all.” She ended the live. Another message blinked on the laptop. The email came,

 

// “well done your 2 min live has created so much stir. I am so happy you did follow my instructions so well. Bravo. “//

 

 

“What do you want idiot. Stop ruining my life, my parents. “

 

// “yes that’s funny like you ruined the lives of so many innocents who are your victims. People whom you killed they too have families. Have you ever thought about what will happen to them? You will realize it very soon. Your last task is up now. See the bottle of perfume send to you inside the parcel box. It is indeed pure aroma, sweet fragrance, the smell of hell, gracious amoral. I want you to smell it for 30 secs. Trust me you will fly. Make a video of the same and email me back. I do not see this done the video evidence is all going live keeping Mumbai police in the loop. CHAO “//

 

Swatilekha took her mobile camera and did exactly as told to her and after 30 secs her head started feeling very heavy. Swatilekha understood it is chloroform mixed with some perfume. She lost control over her body and fell to the ground. In her dizzy vision, she can feel a shadowy figure entering her room. She understood she felt the door unlocked while collecting the box. The face was unclear but familiar. It was the same nerdy boy who lives in the next apartment. He gave an evil smile and continues, “Look at you poor assassin girl, an expert in clean murder now waiting to die helplessly. You have killed so many people, good innocent people. Now your turn is to meet your maker. You see the injection in my hand is the black mamba venom, one dose of it will slowly paralyze your body, contract all your muscles and then finally heartbeats will slow down and stop. “ The nerdy-looking boy slowly came near her and slowly but firmly held both her hands using his things to secure them. Then he did plunge the syringe. “See death is so beautiful.” Swatilekha can see death coming to pick her up. All she can murmur as her last words is “why? Swatilekha's heart stopped and she died. The boy just looked at her eyes and uttered, “You should not have killed by Brother, Soham Roy he was a topper of his BTech batch my dad’s favorite son, my best elder brother. That day both of us went to the multiplex to watch a movie. He topped again that year and we were so happy. He just went for a toilet and never came back. But I rushed to find out and I saw your nearby brother’s dead body. I knew you did kill my brother. I had no evidence and I started tracking you online. For each and every crime you did I hacked your contact, communication channels and got your details of each and every movement your next crime, and even your bank account details by hacking your email. Your action ruined my family, now your family your parents will suffer.

He took Swatilekha's mobile and uploaded the videos on social media. 


Justice served finally.
