(All of the players sat in the room next to where Neha was hooked up and everyone had the same question in mind that is it really true that someone among us killed Neha to which everyone’s answer was “I don’t know”)
(Nilesh got furious and banged the wall with his hand just because he thought being the players of such a game in real life is a total bullshit. He wanted to get out of that building but as the rule of the game said that first the players need to find out who is the lion.
Sanket closed the flap of Neha’s cell phone and at the same moment his long sleeve slipped through and he saw a barcode in his hand and the same way a barcode was seen in Nilesh’s hand too while Kay was asked if he has a barcode too to which he replied that he has one in his stomach)"
“Pradhanya’s on her neck, Janhavi has one in her chest and Neha had a barcode on her right leg, two barcodes were already used to unlock the door and those codes only unlock the door they’re first used on..so in other words we have three more chances, we can’t use Neha’s barcode at the moment so we have the ability to open three more locked doors in this building, if using those 3 keys we are able to find the lion then we win the game and if the lion eats all of us, the game is over..” -said Sanket.
(Nilesh got annoyed by the continuous babbling by Sanket)"
“Didn’t you do it! ..You are the only one I don’t know in this group..” –said Nilesh.
“Calm down you are jumping to conclusions” –said Kay.
(Sanket was laying down to the wall while Nilesh came towards him and banged his leg with a powerful force in the wall just beside Sanket’s face)"
“..and your eyes…..Those eyeballs, I’ll rip them off I can’t stand it when people look through me” –said Nilesh.
“Your explanation is highly unreasonable ..because when Kay left the room , did all the girls remain in that room?” –said Sanket.
“Yes” –said Kay.
“All three of them were still there, there was only one occupied bathroom stall and whoever hit Kay was hiding there” –said Sanket.
“Sanket..what are you trying to say?” –said Nilesh.
“Oh nothing my dear friend..far from what I have heard till now..it sounds like you attacked him in the bathroom” –said Sanket.
(Everyone found Sanket’s words logical but didn’t speak anything. Nilesh got incensed and grabbed Sanket’s collar)"
“Bastard..i’ll kill you!” –said Nilesh.
“LEMME GO! YOU GUYS AGREE WITH ME RIGHT? YOU SUSPECT HIM TOO!!.....!!” –said Sanket.
“LOOK AT WHAT HE IS SAYING! ACCUSING ONE OF US BEING THE LION, SAYING ONE OF US IS A MURDERER,HE IS JUST TRYING TO KILL ME NEXT!!” –said Nilesh.
(Pradhanya couldn’t bare this situation and slapped Nilesh.
Nilesh was amazed, calling Pradhanya a bitch and then stepping forward to hit her)"
“i have got nothing against hitting the girls” –said Nilesh.
(Kay intercepted in to protect Pradhanya and accidentally Nilesh punched Kay directly in the face, the blow was so hard that Kay fell to his knees."
After few moments, Kay was back to his senses and thought that all the players should go and check the lower floor through which they’ll be able to find the lion. Everyone agreed to Kay’s idea but Janhavi rebelled against his idea because she thought being alone will be more safe as, if there is a lion among the players and is capable of killing someone then its better to lock ourselves up in the room and stay safe, to which Sanket replied)"
“If you wants to be alone then you will be the next deer who is gonna be hunted down by the lion because if we stay together then it would be probably difficult for the lion to hunt one of us while being together and that being alone in such a situation is nothing more than a suicide.” –said Sanket.
(The group marched forward to the lower floor)"
“Nilesh gimme the flash light” –said Sanket.
“EH?! Why do I have to give it to you?!” –said Nilesh his eyes was pooped out.
(After few moment, Kay started to bleed..The punch he got from Nilesh was so hard that Kay realized its pain later and hence blood spread to the floor and went down to the sewage and he became unconscious)"
After sometime
(Kay was lying flat on the floor and he became conscious, as he saw upwards and found a staircase and a large lobby with lights being turned on. Sanket told Kay that just because we couldn’t leave you alone there so we moved you with us and that they have found the fuse box for the electricity and has turned on the power of the whole building.
Janhavi came towards Kay and gave him a glass of water from the sink of restroom.
Kay asked about Nilesh but Sanket replied that he has locked himself up in a room which we haven’t unlocked yet. The reason he got locked up because he went ahead of the group and hence it was Nilesh’s fault that he ended up being there and the door was already open)
While Kay was unconscious, the other players had investigated the whole floor.
Janhavi explained the entire investigation:-
She told that when they reached the lower floor, the only door opened was the one in which Nilesh is locked right now to which Kay raised a question about who opened the restroom?
Then Sanket told that it was Nilesh who opened it without even discussing it with other people and that he used one of the key to gain access to nothing but a toilet.
Pradhanya said that we need to use Kay’s barcode to open the door and get back Nilesh out of there.
Kay agreed to Pradhanya hesitantly..Then Sanket barged in and said)"
“We won’t find anything new in that room and moreover Nilesh acts by himself. I am sure that you people don’t want to waste another precious key on someone like him?” –said Sanket.
(After Sanket finished his talk, Kay suddenly changed his side and agreed to Sanket while Pradhanya stood dazed)"
“If we want to go out then we can’t waste keys and after all when we get out we’ll call for help and somehow Nilesh will be rescued too.”-said Kay.
(Even Janhavi agreed to Sanket and Kay and hence Pradhanya had to respect their decision. After they decided to go and investigate some more rooms and floor, at that moment Kay made a excuse and insisted to go to restroom ..and talked within himself while lifting his shirt up)"
“Excuse me, I gotta go to bathroom…..as I thought so..I’m the only one without a barcode…why only me...i managed to hide it for now but if they keep me asking to open the doors..Anyways, I have to cover it up somehow”-said Kay to himself.
(The four players stood together in the lobby and there was a hush and the room in which Nilesh was locked was also very quiet)"
“All the rooms looks the same..” –said Kay.
(Sanket crossed Kay’s comment)"
“No..this room looks pretty different..
On the other side including the restroom there are three rooms all together but on this side there are only two including the room in which Nilesh is locked and this one which we haven’t opened yet. The room in which Nilesh is locked , is pretty small so this room looks up to be taking more space than others..I think this one is suspicious should I….open it?” –said Sanket.
(Sanket opened the door with the barcode, the scanner beeped and the door opened..
Everybody walked in and they encountered a weird smell, Janhavi clearly mentioned if it is the smell of antiseptics?
The lights were not working and there was a bed, a chair, a cupboard with many bottles having medicines and they jumped to the conclusion that it’s a hospital while Sanket looked inside the cupboards..)"
(Sanket while observing the cupboards carefully found a room in the corner, the room was bright and it seemed the lights of that room worked properly)"
“It seems it has not been used since years…eh...a ..light?” –said Sanket.
(STUNNED!)
“Sanket..did you find something..?” –said Kay.
“Shushh…come here..” -said Sanket silently.
(Kay and Sanket saw a controller, a monitor, a room packed with wires and a man wearing a deer mask sitting on the chair, looking at the monitor)
“You are the ..ONE?!” –said both Sanket and Kay.
