Major H was his short name in RAW
he was the fastest in drawing the revolver in the western command before he joined RAW.
Within years fastness evolved into an illusion .
Either on top of the Eifel tower in Paris, the UNESCO in Vienna, Alpian peaks,or Houston's downtown, Tokyo's fish market at dawn, or at Mumbai's Leopold.
This time he drove the jeep into the desert of Jaisalmer and got on top of a swaying camel Al Pacino ( camels name) he sent off the camel man and swayed off into the white sands of emptiness.
He knew the BSF outpost 40 km away was empty as the border had moved away after the last Indo-Pak war.
He tied his camel tied a few km away in the shadows
Dusk in the desert was dark and cold
He walked briskly to the outpost in the knee-deep sand.
The shadowy silhouette of the outpost was pale in the feeble moonlight.
He started digging a hole deep enough to snuggle in when he should cover it with a strong iron board he had brought strewn with sand.
He then stood ramrod straight behind the wall
H waited silently without movement,
He was used to waiting for hours in all sorts of places.
He knew they would come both the terrorist leaders and without escorts
They needed to talk as changes were happening rapidly
He knew as he had his sources,
Suddenly in the dark, he could see two camels closing down and they both getting down huddling together on the sand
The most wanted two for India.
He leaned over the broken wall and sent two bullets flying in the dark which hit bulls eyes with a swoosh
They fell together.
He knew their men a few meters away too had seen it and would come,
He slipped into the hole he had dug with an air tunnel deep into the sands covered with an iron board he had brought.
He hoped they wouldn't find him ,went into an yogic trance while they rummaged on top frustratingly.
After hours they carried off thier leaders
He waited for more time nibbling at energy bar and sipping some water .
It was noon the next day
he listened for any sound .
Slowly he lifted board peeped out
Saw that they left one man to watch .
Silently H got back in waited for the dark ,
Just got out marched straight to the surprised guy and wrung his neck .
He walked to the camel and like any local swayed on it to his jeep
He took his mobile
Done mission accomplished
