Worst part was that Li fell for it. He believed that he had made Rajeev desperate. He was partly right. Rajeev WAS desperate. When he blew, he took down seven of Li's men with him. The avalanche threatened to take much more. He was left with no choice but to leave Siachen and retreat, lest the Indian invincibles find him. He left with a heavy heart. He vowed to gain control of the glacier and the pass within the next year even if it was the last thing he did. He would revenge his best friend. He would avenge the girl he loved.
