SIKH TRACE

Meanwhile, the village was preparing with might for the upcoming hunt. Ganesh set up an impromptu headquarters in his house and, being an experienced commander, checked with enviable meticulousness whether his people had missed anything before the start of this important event. From the very morning, his old friend and first deputy, Vimal Singh, was at his side at all times. Unlike the rest of the gang, Vimal Singh was not always in the squad. That’s why he’d been absent for several days and had only returned the night before. By lunchtime, the soldier who was sent into the forest for observation had returned with a report.

“Everything is going according to plan, master. The traps are set. The beast‘s escape routes have been cut off, “he reported.

“What about the bonfires?” reminded him Ganesh.

“The bonfires are set. The ring is closed. Master, do not worry; the tiger will be ours.”

“I’m not worried.” Ganesh mimicked the soldier. “Tomorrow we’ll see how well you’ve done. And don’t forget, we’re launching a white man into the ring--the younger one.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to ask a ransom for him, master?” Vimal Singh entered the conversation. In the presence of the rest of the gang members, he played the subordinate to Ganesh. In fact, they had been close for a long time and did not stand on ceremony with each other.

“No. It would not! What? Do you think I’m sitting here for the fun of it? Watch yourself.” Ganesh put on a formidable face. “I’ve invited good, respectable people to the hunt. By the way, they are paying so much for this pleasure that no ransom can equal it. So don’t put me to a shame in front of the guests or else. I’ll skin you alive if the animal gets away, or if anything goes wrong.”

“All right, master. Tomorrow everything will be checked again,” promised Vimal.

“That‘s better. Have Jalal-Bek‘s people showed up?” asked Ganesh.

“Our people are quiet. If they suddenly show up, we’ll hear them,” said the fighter.

“Find out... Don’t miss anyone. And we don’t need any strangers to appear now,” Ganesh recalled.

Deciding that he had said everything he needed to say, Ganesh sent the man out the door with a careless gesture. After they were alone with Vimal Singh, he took out an unopened bottle from the drawer, carefully rolled the cork off the elongated neck and poured the amber liquid into the glasses.

“What do you think, Singh? It seems that fortune is showing its face to us. Look how everything is going so well. Tomorrow the clients will pay for the hunt and that is a big jackpot. The girl also worth a lot,” Ganesh grinned, and a row of teeth darkened from years of smoking were revealed behind his usually compressed lips. “I think that in her case we can expect a good ransom. And the map is in our hands. Although we don’t know if the treasure is a myth or a reality, there has been talk about it in our parts for a long time.
