Lounge Piranha- Gold

George lies unconcious on the road. In the mayhem of Rohan killing the exams monster, he's been mortally wounded. Rohan is checking him out with his new stethoscope. Gets up and declares to the rest, "He's not going to make it". Everyone looks shocked, "unless...", he continues, "well there's only way. Within the next 24 hours, if we apply the paste of one rare plant to his wound, he might make it...". Pervez steps up to the microphone and blows his dij three times. "Where do we find it?" Over the next five minutes, Rohan and Pervez confer secretly, pouring over maps and making some of their own. Presently Pervez, armed with a dij and a bunch of maps, gets on his bullet and chugs off into the distance. The evening sun sets and night falls. It is a slow night. Every minute that passes George fades further away. "You think Pervez will find it?", Lord K asks no one in particular. "Absolutely", answers no one in particular. The sun rises eventually and makes its way across the sky. George, unmoving, unblinking, is in another universe. By lunch time, Rohan is worried. "We don't have much time left...", and bites into his egg puff. By three o clock all are giving up hope, sitting in a line staring at the horizon. "Say...", says Lord Ganesha pointing at the horizon with his trunk, "Is yonder hill moving?". And he's right. Yonder hill is moving. Coming straight towards them in fact. At three fifteen Pervez pulls up on his bullet, with an entire hill balanced on his back carrier. Three overwhelmed jaws drop to the ground in awe. "I found the hill", Pervez explains slowly, "but I wasn't sure which plant it was, so I brought the whole hill" Rohan is a bit suspicious but he gets to work immediately, climbs hill, finds plant, makes paste, applies on wound. In a few moments George stirs and opens his eyes. A collective sigh of relief. The first thing he sees before him is the hill. A flash of recognition in his eyes. Then confusion. "What are we doing in Idukki?", he asks. Pervez smiles.
