The receptionist tells him that zoya had come looking for him. Asad asks what did she say. She says that she told him that he has checked out. when he asks about her, he is told that she too checked a couple of hours back. Asad is frustrated at the irony and wonders why did she come to search for him, and that he cant even talk to her, since he doesnt have a phone with her. He is in a dilemma as to how to contact her.
In the hotel, tanveer is disguised in the mantelpiece mannequins, and zoya goes past her, to go to her room to take her bags. And as zoya, dejectedly checks out of the hotel. When zoya crosses her, she strikes her with a sword, while she ducks the blow somehow, shocked to the bone. She gets up, and runs from there, as tanveer gives a second blow. She collides into someone, and tells him of the attacker. She takes him to the mannequins, but tanveer isnt there then. The man is surprised but zoya is flabbergasted that what she just saw was unbelievable.
