"How did you all end up here?" Shyam asked.
Smriti replied " I was on this bus with some strange people. They closed the bus door not to get me out. I remember I was banging the door to get out. I can't remember after then"
"Are you hurt? Have they done anything to you?" Shyam asked with fear.
Smriti looking around the cave replied "They want us untouched for some reason. I don't know what those weird people are up to"
The other hostages could be heard murmuring. Immediately, two rush to be removed from the cage. All come out.
"How do we get now, the cave door is the only way?" questions one hostage.
Smriti replies "Not really, they used to make a huge bonfire on this spot. You see up there, that's our way. "
'How do we get up there?" another hostage asked in fear.
The top was almost 50 feet up of the whole cave. Shyam was still not fitting this into the scene. He had lived his life in the area, and never realized something like this landscape. It was hard for him to understand the cave's nature and the way it went underground.
"One needs to go out there and find us the help. We all won't be able to make up to there" Smriti questioned
Shyam having spent his livelihood in the forest was aware of the conditions.
"I believe I could pull this off and get the help for you all" Shyam insisted.
Smriti was lost in thoughts. And in between these, Shyam begins to climb the cave. His experience to climb trees helped him get a grip and soon he was on the top of the cave. There was a small open way to get through.
Smriti was a sports scholar and it took her no time to follow the path by Shyam and reach the top and open.
Shyam immediately begins to search for something. He was looking for a grip to bring them all up. Again, Smriti was lost in thoughts.
Shyam asked, " What's wrong,? Help me find a rope to get all out?"
In the meantime, she went down the cliff and to the opening gate of the cave. It was a man-made cave. Shyam jumped and said," See, I knew it. It's impossible to be a cave here." Smriti gave him a look. He then rushed to lift the cave door up. Smriti and Shyam opened the cave.
All were out of the cave. As all moved to get out of the way. Smriti had some other plans. Again she went in, closed the cage. She figured out how it worked. The trap was made.
She went out from the top. Immediately, all made their way to Shyam's home. Shyam picked up his phone and dialed a number. " Hello, Police office" a voice came in from the phone
