The servants started making a plan on how to reach Whitefield as the suspicion of the kidnapping was from that area based on recent news.
Considering the traffic and the ongoing construction in the city they called upon an urgent meeting to decide on the routes and proceed.
Because the masters also may be keen to join them at some time this needed a lot of careful deliberation.
One of them recommended taking their bikes to the closest metro station on RV road and taking the newly opened line. One of the servants who was known to be lazy pointed out that it was a bad idea because of multiple factors a) they were going away from the destination b) They would not be covering other important areas along the way where the kidnappers may have taken a break journey c) The metro still had a BIG mind the gap.
The next thing that someone came up with was they drive themselves to the destination which was again shot down saying they would never be able to catch up with them since they have already lost the time. Then came the brilliant idea of crossing the border by foot and then hiring the fastest possible transport in the city, the autorickshaws.
They all felt jubilant since it was a brilliant idea. The autos could transfer these folks very fast and can also traverse into places where nothing else has ever traversed. The main servant also reminded them that since they may have to cross canals along the way from Silk Board to HSR to some other hallis before Marathahalli the autos can be transformed into boats by turning them around. Siri heard boats and called Aman Gupta immediately.
They crossed the border and started enquiring. Surprisingly not many of them were around. The first fellow enquired “Yellige?” ( where to) . Whitefeild .. Illa saar aakade barilla. No sir won’t come to that side. The next fella was busy watching a comedy movie and was laughing out aloud. The third was busy reading a newspaper article on the chances of RCB reaching the playoffs this season and said that he won’t budge till he finished this.
Two auto drivers (who seemed very senior in the profession) were having a fistfight and a lot of passersby and including other auto drivers seemed to be supporting either of them. Words like Congress, BJP, JDS were heard
A few more just passed by as if they were in a hurry to go somewhere. The general suspicion is that these fellas are real estate agents in disguise. The boss called by then and when he heard the plan said that it was a bad idea to look for individual autos, and since he knew the association president he would try and call him to arrange for something
