As they drove, the car hummed along the smooth asphalt, the rhythmic sound of the tires creating a soothing backdrop to their journey. The sky was a brilliant blue, dotted with fluffy white clouds that seemed to drift lazily by. Birds chirped merrily from the trees, and the occasional deer could be seen grazing in the meadows.
Their peaceful drive was momentarily interrupted when they had to pull over for gas and refreshments. The team members, now transformed into three lively girls aged nine, six, and three, eagerly hopped out of the car. At the quaint roadside restaurant, they indulged in a variety of delicious snacks. Ramduth, now a spirited 9-year-old girl, decided to try her luck at the claw machine. With a determined look, she dropped a coin, expertly maneuvered the crane, and triumphantly snagged a toy monkey, which she proudly handed to Malini. Encouraged by her success, she played again and skillfully captured a toy cat, presenting it to Biscuit. The other children in the restaurant watched in awe, their eyes wide with admiration at Ramduth’s impressive dexterity and timing.
After refueling and refreshing, they were back on the road. The car windows had misted up, but Ramduth quickly resolved the issue by turning on the front and rear defrosts. As they continued their journey, the children in passing cars began to send love messages written on cardboard. One particularly bold message read, “Will you marry me?” Biscuit, now appearing as a boy, cheekily responded with his own sign, “Only if you love dogs!”
As they drove on, Ramduth noticed a message written in the mist on the side door glass: SOS KIDNP. The children in the other car, having successfully sent their distress signal, quickly wiped it off the glass. Ramduth and the team immediately recognized the urgency of the situation.
Bosco, ever vigilant, took charge. He waited until the road ahead and behind was clear for half a mile before using his yogic powers to blow out both rear tires, bringing their car to a safe stop. With his yogic vision, Bosco saw that the driver of the other car had a gun in the glove compartment and jammed the door to prevent access. Approaching the driver’s side, Bosco asked calmly, “Are you and the children safe, sir?” The man, visibly nervous, replied, “Yes.”
Bosco offered to help change the tires, using one spare from each car. Once the tires were replaced, the man thanked Bosco but seemed eager to leave. Sensing the children’s distress, Bosco discreetly disabled the car with another yogic feat.
The team, now three girls, befriended the two children who had sent the SOS message—a boy aged 10 and his 7-year-old sister. Bosco assured the stranded motorist that he would stay with him and the children until the car was drivable. The man, however, forbade the children from speaking to the three girls, who nonetheless kept a watchful eye on their new friends.
Bosco gently queried the man, “Where is the children’s mother?” The man remained silent. Meanwhile, passing motorists had called 911 to report the two stranded cars. Through his yogic vision, Bosco understood that the man was the biological father who had kidnapped his own children from their mother, his divorced wife.
Spotting a food truck on its daily route, Bosco flagged it down and bought food for all the children. He didn’t want to harm the father but knew the children needed to be reunited with their mother. Bosco sent a message to his friend Michael, asking him to contact the children’s mother and arrange for their rescue.
The mother soon arrived and took her children home without any resistance from their father. Once the children were safe, Bosco repaired the car and asked the man to follow him to the next town, where he knew a psychologist who could help with marital issues. Leaving the man in the psychologist’s care, Bosco and his team continued their journey to the wedding, the sun setting in a blaze of colors behind them.
When the Highway Patrol Car showed up, the stranded man, his children, Bosco and his team were long gone. If they were actually there, the officers would have arrested the man, making matters worse.
