“Bonjour, Ladies and Gentlemen welcome onboard. Please turn off your Phones and any other electronic devices… ” .

Jean leaned back in his seat showing the discomfort in his face. He hates traveling in AirFrance, of course the flight attendants were quiet old. He prefers traveling via Frankfurt and his preferred choice of flight is Lufthansa. He scrolled down the movie list in the flight, the list were pretty more the same. “Good I got several movies in my Xoom”, he thought.

A flight steward came towards him, "What would you like to have sir"?

It’s normally the best thing to be in a plane if he goes by business class. But this time to India the travel needs to maintain its anonymity and the bosses didn’t want him to get any extra attention. They knew how important it was to make this mission successful. So as expected in an economic class, the treatment is not so wonderful.

"Can I have some champagne Please"

"Sure sir"

"Can you please choose your menu as well Sir"

Going to India, let me be a veggie. I always heard about India but never got a chance to go over there. How does she look like? In the history I always heard about a rich wonderful country, but later I heard only the story of snakes, rituals and blind belief.

 

He changed his Xoom mode to Flight Mode, started with his favorite bond movies. Jean is a hard core fan of bond movies since child hood. Being a cop Jean always dreamed to have all accessories James posses in his movies. He always sounds childish when he speaks to his colleagues. When the world is so advanced and with new tech coming in he still believes in Magic and super natural powers

But this time, it is his interest that made DCRI chiefs to choose him to go to Kerala. He never understood why they wanted him to go to Kerala, but he knew it was some thing very important. He leaned back in his seat and started playing the movie. In a few minutes a flight attendant came towards him and whispered in his ears.

 

He got up from his seat and followed her, she gave a sat phone to him.

"Bonjour Jean"

"Bonjour Boss"

"One more minister is missing, it is becoming crucial and all your discussions and meetings should be done with a state of national emergency"

"Did you check the video grabs, boss"

"Yes, we did"

"We have all the videos till he started from his office and his security staff was following him till he reached his home"

"So he seems to be missing from there"

"Yes, his wife told us that she saw him walking outside when he got a call and he never returned after"

"Ok… But what do I have to do in Kerala for this ?"

It is quiet natural for him to think so. It is really not logical to relate a man missing case and trip to India. But this is not the first case of man missing and murder. Few top honchos of French politics and government are either killed or kidnapped by now. But why am I being sent to Kerala???
