Kabir and Meher
Two polar opposites; or that's what they think they are. They are both burnin...

I waited for Meher to come back home. From the message I had gotten from Alpha, one of Meher's bodyguards, they were already on their way back home. There was still an hour and a half for her to come back whilst I sat in my study, working on something.
As Meher was investigating the cases, I was investigating from my end as well.
I have been investigating the threats surrounding the government project— Eclipse, for weeks. Our company had won the contract to develop the cutting-edge artificial intelligence system to detect potential cybercrime, but I had been receiving threats and warnings hinting that someone didn't want us to succeed.
This project was important. Considering recent cases of cybercrime where predators hunted over young girls via social media, the need to increase online security was very crucial.
And that message Meher got? After that, I lost it. I knew I had to investigate in some way.
The doorbell rang, and I tensed up. Who could it be? I wasn't expecting anyone at this time and Meher was supposed to come later. I cautiously approached the door and peered through the peephole.
Thankfully, it was Maan. I let out a sigh of relief and opened the door.
"Maan, what brought you here?" I asked, trying to hide the worry from my voice.
Maan stepped inside, leaving his shoes on the doorstep. "I've been digging as you had told me to do," he said, his eyes scanning the room. "All of them came from burner phones, making it nearly impossible to track the sender."
We got seated in the living area. Maan was the only one who was aware of the threats. Since he was an expert in the field of tech, I knew he was the one who could help me find evidence.
I nodded, frustration etched on my face. "I know. It's like they're trying to cover their tracks."
Maan handed me a small note. "But I found something interesting. Look at this," he zoomed in on the image, "Look at this symbol in the background, it's a logo." He showed the logo to me and indeed it was there, right at the background of the image.
I squinted my eyes to get a closer look as the confusion settled in. "That's unusual. I've never seen anything like it."
Maan nodded. "Me neither. But I think it might be a signature or a logo. If we can identify the logo, we might be able to trace it back to the person or company behind the threats."
My mind raced with possibilities. "Let's get to work on it. See if we can find any matches or connections."
I quickly grabbed my laptop and searched for information about the symbol. Maan sat down next to me, and together we scrolled through various search results, but nothing seemed to match the description.
