Tension and smoke permeated the night air as the scene was lit by the smouldering remnants of the safe house. Arjun and his group were on the margins, gathering their breath and surveilling the damage. The terrible picture of their present situation is painted by the illumination of the fire creating ghostly shadows."Are you all OK?"
