Today the ISI headquarters was silent. There was a sense of fear and pressure above each and every agent.
Something had gone terribly wrong, and it wasn't just about the two high-ranking ISI operatives Farooq Aziz and Arif Chaudhry, who were now gone.
The real issue was the terrifying realization that R&AW, India's intelligence agency, had outplayed them at their own game.
Khalid Qureshi sat in his office, his face expressionless but his mind was currently full of chaos.
First he finally got the generals to agree with his plan of not going public with Chagai Hills sabotaged and taking a new path of destroying India from within.
But when it came to implementation he needed his network fully unified and working at full capacity and that is why he needed his men fully secured and ready to move.
He had made several attempts to contact Farooq and Arif over the past few days, all of which had been met with a chilling silence.
