Black Squad – Episode 37: "The 24-Hour War"
Opening Scene: A Call from the North
Location: Mumbai – Black Squad Headquarters – 6:00 AM
The team was still processing the events of the last mission. Vikram Khanna had escaped. The Ghost Protocol had begun. DIG Shamsher Singh was dead.
A.C.P. Sulaiman Qazi sat at his desk, eyes fixed on the surveillance footage of the explosion. His fists clenched.
Suddenly, his phone buzzed.
> Caller ID: DGP Aditya Singh – J&K Police
Qazi answered immediately.
> Qazi: "Sir?"
> DGP Aditya Singh: "A.C.P. Qazi, I just got intel from our cyber unit. A massive encrypted data transfer originated from Mumbai and was routed through a hidden server in Srinagar. We believe it's linked to Vikram Khanna's Ghost Protocol."
The team exchanged looks.
> Qazi: "You think Vikram's planning something in Kashmir?"
> DGP Aditya Singh: "I don't think. I know. We just intercepted a communication—Vikram's operatives are already in J&K. Whatever they're planning, it's big."
Qazi took a deep breath.
> Qazi: "We're on our way."
CUT TO BLACK.

Scene 1: The War Room
Location: J&K Police Headquarters – Srinagar – 11:00 AM
Black Squad landed in Srinagar under heavy security. A convoy of police vehicles escorted them to the headquarters.
Inside, DGP Aditya Singh—a towering man in his late 50s with sharp eyes and an authoritative presence—stood waiting.
> DGP Aditya Singh: "Welcome to Srinagar. I wish it was under better circumstances."
The room was filled with officers, analysts, and counter-terrorism experts. A large digital map of Kashmir was projected on the wall.
> DGP Singh: "We believe Vikram Khanna's men are setting up sleeper cells across the region. If we don't stop them now, we're looking at coordinated attacks."
> Imran (analyzing the map): "They're targeting key locations… military bases, government offices, public transport hubs."
Neha pulled up the intercepted data transfer.
> Neha: "We found something. The data was sent to an abandoned warehouse in Baramulla. That's where we need to start."
DGP Singh nodded.
> DGP Singh: "Then let's move."

Scene 2: The Warehouse Raid
Location: Baramulla – 4:00 PM
Black Squad and J&K Special Forces surrounded the warehouse.
> Arjun (whispering into radio): "All units, in position."
Qazi gave the signal.
> Qazi: "Go!"
Boom! The door was breached.
Inside, the scene was horrifying. Computers hummed, screens flashed red, and a countdown timer read:
"02:59:48"
> Neha (shocked): "This is a detonation sequence! They've planted bombs!"
A lone figure stepped forward. One of Vikram's men.
> Terrorist: "You're too late."
Gunfire erupted.
Arjun and Imran engaged the enemy. Qazi rushed to Neha's side.
> Qazi: "Can you stop the timer?"
> Neha (frantically typing): "I need time!"
> DGP Singh (over radio): "You don't have time! We just got intel—there are five bombs across the city!"
> Qazi: "We split up."
The team scattered—racing against the clock.

Scene 3: The Five Bombs
Location: Various Sites in Srinagar – 5:30 PM
Neha and Imran went to Lal Chowk, where a bomb was hidden in a government building.
Arjun and J&K Special Forces searched for a device planted in a hospital.
Qazi and DGP Singh led a unit to defuse a train station bomb.
Each site was heavily guarded. Gunfights broke out.
> Imran (disarming the bomb): "Cutting the wrong wire and we're all dead."
> Neha (calmly): "Then don't cut the wrong wire."
One by one, the bombs were defused.
But at the last location, Qazi and DGP Singh were ambushed.
Vikram Khanna stood before them, gun raised.
> Vikram (smirking): "You should have stayed in Mumbai."
Gunshot. Fade to black.
