BLACK SQUAD – EPISODE 11: "THE VANISHING PASSENGER"

A Suspenseful Crime Investigation Story

OPENING SCENE – Mumbai International Airport (Night, Heavy Rain)

(📷 Camera pans over the rain-soaked airport. A red-eye flight from London taxis to a halt.)

Inside the Arrival Terminal, weary passengers shuffle toward immigration. Among them, Aditya Malhotra, a billionaire tycoon, pulls his designer coat closer, trying to stay warm. He looks around, almost paranoid, adjusting his expensive wristwatch.

📷 Close-up shot: His phone vibrates. He checks a message: "Welcome back, sir. Your car is waiting outside."

Aditya texts back: "Coming in 5 minutes."

(🎵 Suspenseful background score builds.)

Aditya clears customs, nods to a few people he recognizes. He steps out of the airport's VIP Exit, heading towards his waiting Mercedes S-Class—but before he can reach it…

📷 CUT TO BLACK.

🎵 Sound of screeching tires. A muffled shout. Then… silence.

SCENE 2 – BLACK SQUAD HEADQUARTERS (Morning, 9:00 AM)

(📷 News anchors on multiple screens report the shocking disappearance.)

📰 "BREAKING NEWS: INDUSTRIALIST ADITYA MALHOTRA VANISHES AFTER LANDING IN MUMBAI."

📰 "KIDNAPPING OR CONSPIRACY? POLICE LAUNCH MASSIVE HUNT FOR MISSING BUSINESS TYCOON."

ACP Sulaiman Qazi sits at his desk, stone-faced. He takes a sip of tea, deep in thought. Inspector Imran Wani and Arjun Rathore enter.

IMRAN: "The media is already running wild. CM's office called. We've been handed the case directly."

QAZI (exhales): "A billionaire vanishes from one of the most secured locations in Mumbai. This isn't an ordinary abduction."

Arjun flips open the case file.

ARJUN: "His last phone signal was recorded at 3:27 AM near Terminal 2 parking. His car was there, but he wasn't."

Qazi nods. "Let's move. We're going to the airport."

SCENE 3 – MUMBAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (CCTV ROOM, 10:15 AM)

(📷 Black Squad studies CCTV footage on multiple monitors. The room is dimly lit, screens flashing different camera angles.)

📺 Footage shows Aditya stepping out of the terminal… then suddenly disappearing from all feeds.

IMRAN (frowning): "There's a blind spot between Camera 14 and 15."

📺 New footage is pulled. They see Aditya walking… then two men in police uniforms approaching him.

📷 Zoom-in shot: The two 'cops' escort Aditya toward the parking lot, but their faces are turned away from the camera.

ARJUN (shocked): "Those aren't real cops."

QAZI (narrowing his eyes): "Then who the hell are they?"

SCENE 4 – AIRPORT PARKING LOT (11:00 AM)

(📷 Imran and Arjun inspect Aditya's luxury sedan. The car is unlocked, its backseat showing signs of a struggle. A small streak of blood is on the door handle.)

FORENSICS OFFICER: "Blood type matches Aditya's. He was definitely injured here."

Arjun pulls out his phone, calling Qazi.

ARJUN: "Boss, we've got blood in his car. No sign of a ransom demand yet. If this was for money, they'd have contacted his family by now."

QAZI: "This isn't about money. It's personal."

---

SCENE 5 – TRACKING THE KIDNAPPERS (3:00 PM)

(📷 Black Squad follows traffic CCTV footage. The fake cops led Aditya to a black SUV. The car's number plate was fake, but its route is traceable.)

📺 Traffic feed shows the SUV heading toward Navi Mumbai.

IMRAN: "Warehouse district. That's where they took him."

QAZI (to team): "Gear up. We move now."

---

SCENE 6 – NAVI MUMBAI WAREHOUSE (NIGHT RAID, 9:30 PM)

(📷 Black Squad arrives at a deserted warehouse. Thunder rumbles. The team splits up.)

🎵 Intense background score.

📷 Inside, Aditya Malhotra is tied to a chair, bloodied and weak. A tall man in a suit stands before him—Vikram Taneja, a rival businessman.

VIKRAM: "You thought you could expose me? You underestimated me, Aditya."

Aditya spits blood. "You won't get away with this."

📷 CUT TO: Arjun signals Qazi via earpiece. They're in position.

🔥 ACTION SEQUENCE:

Black Squad storms in! Gunfire erupts.

Arjun and Imran take down two kidnappers in close combat.

Qazi dodges bullets, shooting out the lights. The warehouse plunges into darkness.

Flashlights beam. Silhouettes dart in the shadows.

Arjun grabs Aditya, shielding him as bullets ricochet.

Imran tackles Vikram, pinning him down.

💥 Final shot: Qazi fires, hitting the last kidnapper in the leg. He collapses, screaming.

SCENE 7 – JUSTICE SERVED (NEXT MORNING, BLACK SQUAD HQ)

(📷 Vikram Taneja and his men are handcuffed, being led away. News reporters swarm outside.)

📰 "BREAKING: BUSINESS TYCOON RESCUED, KIDNAPPERS ARRESTED IN BLACK SQUAD OPERATION."

IMRAN (smirking): "That was one hell of a night."

ARJUN (grinning): "We need coffee. Lots of it."

📷 Final shot: ACP Qazi looks at a case file labeled 'Unsolved Crimes.' He sighs, then mutters:

QAZI: "Mumbai never sleeps."

📷 CUT TO BLACK.
