Pulling up to a luxury car, Maya stepped out, looking as impressive as her pictures promised. She smiled and walked towards Ravi, but something bothered her. The air was very still.
Maya whispered, “So, you are the famous Sun. Your free movie download business is a real business, isn’t it?”
Before Ravi could answer, a blinding flash of light shone in front of him and men emerged from the shadows.
“Wait... what’s going on?” he asked. Ravi was shocked.
A voice murmured behind him.
Officer: “Police! Completed, Sun. We have been watching you and your illegal film business. No more free downloads.”
Ravi's heart sank as Maya turned away, her face cold.
Maya said softly, “I am sorry, Ravi. I’m not what you think I am. I am a police officer and we have been following your activities for months.”
Ravi froze in shock.
Ravi whispered, “This… this can’t be true. Maya, are you a cop?”
The officers went in and handcuffed him, and one of them laughed.
Officer: “You’ve been a real star, boy. But let’s see how they handle it without downloading your free movies in jail.”
But just as they were about to pull him away, Maya leaned in closer.
Don't whisper Maya, Sun. You’re a child. I’ll see if there’s anything I can do about your jail time. You are too smart to destroy.”
Ravi was confused and his world was crumbling around him. Was he going to help her, or was this just part of another ruse?
End.
