“I am all for it. I think it can be done, I was paying more attention today, and there is no security, we can easily haul in the money and run,” Ramesh began.
“And run where? we are no robbers or criminals,” Vikas said, a little irritated. “What do you think Rahul?”
“I think your plan is the best, we can take Ramesh’s help to fill in the details and then act. But I noticed that we have only twenty days to figure out everything, otherwise the money will be gone and all will be in vain.”
“Yes…twenty days, but twenty days are more than enough.”
“Ok! here is the final plan then”, Vikas continued, “Rahul and me will leave this place a few days before the actual day… we are away often so it won’t rouse any suspicion. On the day we won’t be able to contact each other, neither will we try…so everything has to be very well planned. On the day, we meet at some place, possibly looking as different from our usual self as we can, just passing by through this area, then we will wait at that blind curve near the village. I chose that point because it’s not in sight and in that area there is no cell phone signal. Ramesh, you get them to leave a little late somehow… that can be easily done, I think… then you have to get the telephone exchange down. It’s not something that has not happened before, so they will not be too worried about it. The best way to do it would be to somehow cut the electric supply of the exchange. They don’t have back up so as soon as the lights go out, the phones go out; If we are lucky the power will be out as it is on that day.
