BLACK SQUAD: EPISODE 113— "THE PHANTOM FILE"
[Opening Scene — Mumbai, Late Night]
The rain came down in sheets, cloaking the city in a cold, damp haze. In an old, abandoned textile mill on the outskirts of the city, a lone figure darted through the shadows. He carried a leather satchel under his arm — inside it, a single manila folder marked "Classified — MoD Eyes Only". The figure paused, pulling out a phone and making a quick call.
UNKNOWN MAN (whispering):
"It's done. The Phantom File is with me. Prepare the extraction."
He vanished into the darkness.

[Next Morning — Black Squad HQ]
ACP Sulaiman Qazi stood in front of a case board littered with photos, maps, and files. Senior Inspectors Imran Wani and Arjun Rathore entered, along with Sub Inspector Shreya and Inspector Sachin.
Qazi:
"We've got a code black from MoD. A file named 'The Phantom File' was stolen last night from the Intelligence Bureau vault. It holds sensitive data on undercover agents, illegal arms deals, and high-ranking officials. If it leaks — it'll cripple national security."
Imran (serious):
"Who took it, sir?"
Qazi:
"Vikrant Deshmukh. Former RAW operative. Went rogue six years ago after a mission betrayal. Presumed dead. But this confirms he's alive."
The squad exchanged tense glances.

[Investigation Begins]
Arjun and Sachin hit the streets, questioning informants in Byculla and Dongri, while Imran and Shreya checked digital records and traced Vikrant's old contacts.
At an abandoned safe house in Kalbadevi, Arjun found a bloodied note:
"The truth deserves daylight."
Arjun (to Sachin):
"He's planning to leak it publicly. We need to move fast."
---
[Forensics Insight]
Dr. R.P. Gupta, the squad's new forensic head, analyzed security cam footage from the vault breach.
Dr. Gupta:
"There's a pattern in his movements. He disabled the power grid for 8 seconds — enough time for someone trained in stealth tactics. Only Deshmukh could pull that off."
---
[Interrogation Breakthrough]
An ex-intelligence fixer, Jatin Vora, was picked up by Imran and Shreya.
Imran (coldly):
"Where's Vikrant?"
Jatin:
"He's heading for Gateway of India. 11 PM tonight. To hand it over to an international buyer."

[Showdown at Gateway]
At 11 PM, Black Squad staged a covert operation. The rain returned, giving the night a cinematic bleakness.
Arjun, Imran, Shreya, and Sachin spread out. In the shadows, Vikrant appeared, flanked by two armed mercenaries.
Qazi (over comms):
"Remember — the file is priority. We need it intact."
A tense gunfight erupted. Shreya took down one mercenary, while Sachin covered her. Imran and Vikrant engaged in brutal hand-to-hand combat on the slick stone floor.
Vikrant (spitting blood):
"You're fighting for a corrupt system, Imran!"
Imran slammed him against a pillar.
"We fight for those who can't!"
Arjun recovered the satchel mid-fight. As Vikrant tried to escape, Qazi himself intercepted.
Qazi (gun raised):
"End of the line, Vikrant."
Vikrant (sighs):
"You have no idea what's in that file, Qazi. The names… the betrayals…"
Qazi:
"I'll carry that weight. You, however, won't see another sunrise."
A clean shot. Vikrant dropped.

[Aftermath — Black Squad HQ]
The squad gathered, rain-soaked and weary.
Qazi opened the Phantom File. Inside — shocking names. Influential politicians, bureaucrats, even a few police officers. He quietly closed the file.
Qazi (to team):
"Some truths aren't meant for the public. Not yet."
Imran (quietly):
"Justice comes in many forms, sir."
Qazi nodded, placing the file in a secure vault marked "Restricted Access".

[Closing Scene — Narration]
"Some battles are fought in shadows. And sometimes, protecting the truth means burying it deeper. But Black Squad will always be there… for the unseen wars."
