Sikharpur days ( Bandits attack-4)

Dhanush and Lata went to their hideout. They would later meet Parvati in the hideout but first they needed some preparation. Lata was sitting on the stone seat and Dhanush was searching for the things that could help.
" We would need the ropes, this bed sheet might help too, and ohh..this sling shot, I was searching it for a while. Let me take them all." Dhanush murmured as he was rummaging through their belongings in the hideout.
" Do you need my help?" Lata prompted.
" No, no..just seat outside and look for Parvati to come.' Dhanush replied, 'Call me if you hear any footsteps or other signs!"

Dhanush was ready bundling all the things he could find, a rope, slingshot, bed sheet, small kitchen knife, some pepper, chilli powder, some glue and other things that he could carry. Lata called him when she saw Parvati approaching the hideout.
" Was everything alright, where's Dhanush?" Parvati queried.
"He is inside, I will call him now." Lata replied.
" You don't have to, I am here. Seen anything suspicious?" Dhanush asked.

Both the girls denied the same. 

" Now that we have all the things available, let's teach these bandits a lesson!" Dhanush proclaimed as they proceeded for their journey.

They slowly walked behind Parvati, trying not to make any noise. Parvati would go ahead a little and check for any activity and then signal both of them about it. They reached the Bandit's camp sooner than expected. Parvati showed them a hiding place behind a rock, Their were small scrubs giving excellent coverage. It was opposite of the camp so, the Bandits couldn't detect them too.

There were 2 Bandits, the average built 5 & 6. They were doing some maintenance of their weapons, like knives, swords, hatchets and others. The swords were kept inside their scabbards, which were rough and not like the beautiful ones that the soldiers use.

They had a couple of cloths and weapons kept aside. The two Bandits had already prepared and dressed in black cloths, with daggers, swords hung on their waist. The children waited till they left the camp for some reason, but they were not leaving.

" These guys are not leaving their post, what should we do now?" Dhanush was frustrated.
" It looks like they were waiting for someone and ordered to be on post.' Parvati explained her observation, ' but we can make them move."
" How?" Both Dhanush and Lata asked in unison.
" Just surprise them, and make them move." Parvati said with a twinkle in her eyes.

Parvati went into the scrubs just near the camp, and hustles started to happen around it. It startled the bandits and they stood up. One of the bandit went near it to see what's there while the other bandit tried moving round the corner with holding his blade.It was what the children were waiting for!

" Lata go and put chilli powder in the cloths and I will put glues in those weapons." Dhanush ordered as he slowly run towards the camp.
" Alright, I am on it." Lata answered as she swiftly moved towards the cloth chamber.

Dhanush put Glue inside the scabbard and all other weapons. He made some attachments and system, so that the cloths and sandals will break or become clumsy if some force applied to it. They want to make their actions inconspicuous and undetectable or else the plan would have fell. 

" What is the sound" Bandit 5 was talking loudly and irritably, as he couldn't find anyone. " Did you find anyone Raka?"
" No one's here, Cheetah.." Raka answered back, " wait, I see it a wild cat running away." 

Both the bandits returned back soon as they were ordered to remain in the camp waiting for their boss signal and also act as rendezvous point for other two joining them in the evening hunt. They checked the cloths and weapons again to make sure that nothing changed. They found them in th place where they had left, which assured them and they went back to their post.

" And that would be your mistake," Parvati laughed as she looked towards Dhanush, " Great job."
" Lata is as much responsible as I am." Dhanush pointed at Lata as she had done some brave work.
" Yes, yes, Lata is my brave friend" Parvati hugged and kissed Lata.
" Shh..don't make noise. Let's make some traps in the forest and look around for their boss...The big guy, right Parvati?" Dhanush cautioned both.
" Yes, the big guy...I know where he is." Parvati said, ' Let's go and also make some traps to welcome these fools."
