Uday initially did not like the Chief Minister's appointment of Senthilnathan to investigate the disappearance of Karthi. He told to his father.
"Why uncle is asking Senthilnathan to investigate? First of all he is very arrogant. Now he will show his arrogance in this investigation. ”
"Brother, will not do anything without considering the facts. There is no one better than him to decide whom to use and how to use them” Selvarangan said patiently.
Uday could not deny the truth of what he had said. He has no doubt that Rajadurai is unique in that respect. That was one of the main reasons for his political success. But it is not easy to forget the old quarrel with Senthilnathan. But from the moment he went back to the mountain, it began to appear that if Senthilnathan could help Karthi come back, it is not even wrong to fall on his feet.
Uday loved his brother so much. The days when he grew up teasing, teasing, fighting and playing together were still fresh in his mind. The brother who had remedied his doubts, the brother who had shown unconditional love, he could not digest Karthi’s sudden disappearance. He could not stop his eyes from getting wet when he saw his brother's bike parked at the foot of the hill and he picked up his brother's telescope which was picked up by his men on the hill.
It was Karthi who wrote the maiden speech he delivered in Parliament.
"Don’t be nervous. People should remember your speech for times to come.” He wrote a very elegant speech to his brother and made him speak it at home several times. He corrected the pronunciation and the way he spoke and kept repeating it. When Uday finished his first speech in Parliament, everyone applauded, regardless of party affiliation.
Prime Minister asked his party men "Who is that boy?" Some of the parliamentary dignitaries shook hands directly and greeted. The next day the news came with his photo in the major newspapers. This type of recognition is new to Uday. When he got home, he kissed his brothers cheek and pulled him up. Selvarangan and Gnanam were looking after their children with pride.
The house that was so full of happiness now looks like a graveyard. Gnanam was crying without eating. Selvarangan was failing trying to pretend to be brave. It was as if Uday was going crazy when he saw both of them. He did not know when or where Senthilnathan will start the work given to him. It seemed like it would be nice if that guy started right away.
The long-awaited call to the researcher at KCGTRAC came just two hours later. The woman on the other side said "hello" and he asked excitedly in English.
"Where are you?"
The woman replied in English. “In Pune. I just finished the meeting with the director. I saw your message. Your "extraordinary event" is good or bad?
He told the truth. "I don’t know "
"How do you say that?" What is the matter?"
He described in detail what he saw in those photos. The woman, who had been patiently asking for everything without interruption, finally said softly.
"It is better to inform our director. I will speak to him and call you. ”
Her call came in fifteen minutes.
"The director wants to see those photos."
He whispered.
"Shall I send it to his personal mail?"
The woman became angry.
“Don’t talk like a fool. It is our policy that the data should not be leaked for any reason. He doesn’t wants us to relax the policy even for him. Hacking is ubiquitous. The existing security facility inside KCGTRAC is not available outside. So he and I will come to Bengaluru on the next flight. Stay there till we arrive. Then we will decide. ”
He was waiting for them.

The young aide told the grey haired man, "Chief Minister has appointed Senthilnathan to secretly investigate the disappearance of Karthi."
The news was not digestible for grey haired man. He told the young aide, "Everything you say sounds like a headache."
“That Senthilnathan is an arrogant officer. He had some trouble with Uday’s aide last year. Then how come he is investigating this case? How did Selvarangan agreed? ”
"Since when did he refused Rajathurai?"
A wishful thinking arose in the mind of the grey haired man. He said it aloud.
"It will be better if Senthilnathan and Uday quarreled again this time and the man had been withdrawn from this case. It is Senthilnathan's character that he has a problem in every regime and in every party. ”
He too had that expectation. He nodded and asked him again his old suspicion for comfort.
"His investigation will not reach us. Will it?"
Grey haired man said. "I do not know what we had done in the first place. The wrecked hired killer, who knew what was going on, died. We still don’t know your friend Karthi has died for real and his dead body is still missing or he is alive and he is missing. We don’t have answers to these questions. Then what we can speculate about their investigation. Am I right?”
The fact that he was lamenting seemed funny to young man, at the same time it brought anxiety. Who knew that this plan, which seemed so perfect, would turn into such a beast? It was now beginning to appear that Karthi should have been handled differently.
Without worrying like him the grey haired man began to wonder what was next. Then he came to an conclusion and picked up his cell phone and started talking to someone.
“Hello Sundaram, how are you? I am good. I need a favor. Today I'm getting a lot nuisance call from the same number. Need to know from where the call is coming. Although I can officially ask, I do not want it. I will tell the number, write it down.” Said the number and continued further, “The next time I receive that cal, l want you to trace that call. If you o this for me, I will reward you in appropriate manner. Okay, repeat the number I said. Hmm, Yes. Correct. I will take good care of you. Okay? ”
When he finished talking and put down his cell phone, he was a little satisfied. The young man applauded him for his action.
