Black Squad – Episode 48: "Erased"
Opening Scene: A Man Without a Past
Location: A Dark Alleyway – 2:45 AM
A man runs through the rain-soaked streets of Mumbai.
His breathing is ragged, his footsteps splashing through puddles as he glances over his shoulder.
The city's neon lights cast eerie reflections on the wet pavement.
Then—his phone rings.
Unknown Number.
He hesitates, then answers.
> Distorted Voice: "You don't exist anymore, Inspector Imran Wani."
Imran freezes.
His hand trembles.
> Imran: "Who are you?"
The voice chuckles coldly.
> Distorted Voice: "We are the Shadow Syndicate. And you? You're just a ghost now."
Suddenly—his phone screen glitches.
His contacts, photos, emails—everything vanishes.
His digital identity is being wiped in real-time.
> Distorted Voice: "By sunrise, you will have no records. No bank accounts. No ID. No past. The world will forget you ever existed."
The call disconnects.
A moment later—
His wallet buzzes.
He pulls out his government-issued ID.
It's blank.
His name, his rank, his face—gone.
FADE TO BLACK.

Scene 1: The Vanishing Act
Location: Black Squad Headquarters – 7:00 AM
ACP Sulaiman Qazi arrives at HQ, expecting his usual briefing.
But the moment he enters—something feels wrong.
Everyone is staring at him.
Murmuring.
Neha rushes toward him, holding a file.
> Neha (frantic): "Sir, something's happened to Imran!"
> Qazi: "What do you mean?"
She places the file on the table.
Inside—are Imran's records.
Or rather, the lack of them.
His police file? Gone.
His fingerprints? Deleted.
His government records? Non-existent.
Even his birth certificate is missing.
> Neha (whispering): "As far as the system is concerned… Imran Wani was never born."
Qazi's blood runs cold.
> Qazi: "Find him. Now."

Scene 2: A City That Forgot
Location: Mumbai – 9:00 AM
Imran wanders the streets, his mind racing.
He tries calling his bank.
> Bank Officer: "Sorry, sir. We have no record of an account under that name."
He rushes to the police station—his own department.
The officer at the desk looks confused.
> Officer: "And you are…?"
Imran stares at him.
> Imran: "I work here. I'm Inspector Imran Wani!"
The officer checks the database.
Nothing.
Not a single entry under his name.
His entire career—wiped.
He feels sick.
He looks at the officer desperately.
> Imran: "You know me! We worked together!"
The officer just shrugs.
> Officer: "I think you should leave, sir. Before I call security."
Imran stumbles backward.
The city he's protected for years… has erased him.

Scene 3: The Only Way Back
Location: A Safehouse – 12:00 PM
Neha tracks a signal—the source of the hack.
It leads to an abandoned apartment in South Mumbai.
Imran, Arjun, and Qazi storm in.
Inside—they find a single laptop running a code sequence.
And a timer.
Counting down.
00:05:00
00:04:59
00:04:58
> Neha (panicked): "They've set up an auto-wipe! If this finishes, Imran will be gone forever."
Imran steps forward.
His fingers hover over the keyboard.
> Imran (softly): "This is it, isn't it? My last chance to exist."
Qazi grips his shoulder.
> Qazi: "You're not disappearing today. Let's end this."
01:00
00:59
Neha types frantically.
Lines of code flash across the screen.
> Neha: "I can't stop it. But… I can reverse it."
> Imran: "Do it!"
The countdown hits 00:30.
00:20.
00:10.
And then—
ERROR. DATA RESTORED.
The screen goes dark.
Imran's name reappears.
His records restored.
His identity—saved.
> Neha (grinning): "Welcome back, Inspector."
Imran exhales.
> Imran: "I owe you one."
Neha smirks.
> Neha: "You owe me a lot more than one."
Qazi, however, is stone-faced.
> Qazi: "This was just a warning."
He looks at the screen.
A final message blinks in red.
> "You got lucky this time. Next time, we erase everything."
FADE TO BLACK.

Inside—classified documents on every member of Black Squad.
The leader smiles.
> Leader: "Next time, we erase them all."
FADE TO BLACK.
