The Jinns Amongst Us

Chapter 85

As she parks close towards the house, Dr Sayeed in his rush, starts arriving towards the entrance. Just then Athina gets a call and luckily, just as Dr Sayeed starts yelling, it is revealed to be Khayun as Tim.

"Great, just in time." said Athina as she answers the phone. "Hello Athina? where are you?" asked Khayun through the phone.

"I'm at your house gate, the doctor's arriving too." said Athina as she notices Dr Sayeed approaching. "Great, give him the phone, and start running away from the house." said Khayun.

"What?" asked Athina.

"Things are about to get ugly, just trust me on this." said Khayun. "Okay, alright, fine.. (hands over the phone) Tim's on the phone, that's my job done, bye." said Athina as she starts getting down from the car while Dr Sayeed receives the phone.

"Hello? Tim?" asked Dr Sayeed.

"Doctor, we've gotten it all wrong, this entire thing, it's been wrong." said Khayun. "What do you mean? where are you?" asked Dr Sayeed. "That'll have to wait, but first you must know, the Nagas, the real ones, they aren't the threat." said Khayun. "And why do you think that?" asked Dr Sayeed.

"Because, doc, the Creed, Jessica, she's been experimenting on them, years ago, she kept in under wraps, that's why they aren't any files on Nagas, and any likely ones are destroyed, or disappeared from reaching." said Khayun. "If Jessica did this, why would she send us to investigate?" asked Dr Sayeed.

"I don't know.. but.. I think she wanted us to die." said Khayun. "Die?" asked Dr Sayeed. "Think about it doc, from the moment we got here, she's been unavailable for contact, if I hadn't got to you in time, you would have been dead a long time ago." said Khayun. "Alright, but why? what use she would be getting from murdering me?" asked Dr Sayeed.

"To make sure Nagas are seen as the threat, not her, or me.. this was the only way for her to make the next move, a full blown assault towards the threat if it takes the life of someone specialised." said Khayun.

"Tim, that doesn't make sense, not even the least, Jessica would never do something like this, and not to mention, the research team, yes, them, they were murdered first, then got covered up.." said Dr Sayeed before getting interrupted by Khayun.

"Doc, there were no research team, it was the scientists that were killed when the Nagas broke out, they only made it look like it was a whole another deal." said Khayun. "Ti... Khayun, this is.. you can't believe this, there's got to be.. why would she sent you then? knowing you posses the threat to destroy everything? why would she do that?" asked Dr Sayeed.

"I don't know, I honestly don't, but.. I was almost killed doc, almost did, and if it weren't for this people, I would have died, I am.. I need answers, I know you do too, I'll meet you at the house again, perhaps we can talk about this in person." said Khayun as he ends the call in a hurry.

Meanwhile, upon eavesdropping the entire conversation through control unit within the Creed Base. Agent Jessica then angers as she becomes rather frustrated that her entire plan has ended in jeopardy.

"Gather everyone you can, I want everyone to be ready and in go." said Agent Jessica as she steps out of the control unit section and heads towards the containment cells to find Corso again. As she enters, Corso grins at the scent of her returning again. "Back so soon?" asked Corso.

"Looks like you're right, I've been stabbed, again." said Agent Jessica. "I told you before agent, never trust a..." said Corso before getting interrupted by Agent Jessica. "Yeah, yeah, I know, now.. you had a offer, what is it?" asked Agent Jessica.

"Well, detective, it would happen in rather the rarest case that this deal would succeed.." said Corso before getting interrupted by Agent Jessica. "Just spill it out for once." said Agent Jessica. "Alright then, I want a army, an entire group of your squadrons if I am to help you." said Corso.

"You want my soldiers to work for you?" asked Agent Jessica with a smirk. "I told you it would be hard." said Corso. "But I do make some comprise, here and then.. what have you got to the table? it sure as to feel heavy enough to weigh against soldiers." said Agent Jessica.

"I understand.. and as for counter offer, how about the very weakness of Khayun himself? one that is fortunate enough to take him down forever." said Corso. "What is it?" asked Agent Jessica to which Corso grins.

Meanwhile, within Afreen's house as Nailah and her mother arrives to check on whether they are already packed, only to find Ali left standing. "Ali, where is your sister?" asked Nailah. "I.. I'm sorry." said Ali. "Ali, your cousin asked you a question, where is she?" asked Nailah's mother as they start looking around the room while Ali sighs.

"She's not in here, she left." said Ali. "What? are you insane? you have flight in less than 39 minutes, and you're saying she left? where?" asked Nailah.

"Where, I can't say, and as for the flight ticket (shows his laptop screen where he had canceled the tickets through online) I already took care of it." said Ali as he tears of the ticket.

"Ali, are you mad? what is wrong with you?" asked Nailah. "You can't ask us to leave, no matter what happened, it isn't our fault." said Ali. "Whether it's your fault or not, bad things have been happening from the start, since the moment you too got here." said Nailah's mother.

"And you think it's best to send us packing home, what if something happens to us there, huh? who will help, our parents?" asked Ali. "Yes, they will help you, but out here, it's only me." said Nailah's mother.

"You're wrong, it wasn't you, it was none of you, it was him." said Ali. "Who?" asked Nailah. "Tim, Afreen's boyfriend or someone, I don't know, but the point, each time Afreen's caught in some kind of trouble, he's the first person to respond, that dude knows how to deal with s**t, he is the only one who gets things done." said Ali. "What are you even talking about?" asked Nailah.

"The truth! that day, the day I saw some creature having gotten into her, I called him, and he helped, not you, not the group of people that came with you, it was him, it was him all along." said Ali.

"Who is this Tim?" asked Nailah's mother.

"It's a long story, Ali, this isn't time for some fall in love story, this is serious, who have you been talking to? most importantly, where did you go?" asked Nailah.

"You wanna know the answer? fine, yes, I went to see Tim, because what Afreen's been telling you guys, is the truth, the very thing you put inside a mental hospital, which was possessed by the way, isn't Afreen, it turned to dust the moment I touched her, and you guys never believed it." said Ali.

"Ali! please, just.. don't you believe in logic and facts anymore, turned to dust, are you even listening to yourself." said Nailah's mother.

"No! you are not listening yourself, all of us know, at this very moment, Afreen was caught by something supernatural, we all saw it with our own eyes, something unbelievable did happen, and yet, you guys never believe the rest of what happened was real, I mean, what the hell is wrong you guys first?" asked Ali.

"It's pointless talking to him, we need to find where Afreen went off to, where would she go?" asked Nailah. "Somewhere you will never find, good luck, and lastly, I'm not leaving, I'm staying here." said Ali.

Meanwhile, Afreen, whom had ran out of the house starts heading towards the road, calling onto Jason. Within few minutes of ringing, he soon picks up, rather being concerned. "Hey, Afreen, what's up?" asked Jason.

"Jason, I need your help, now, my friend is in trouble, I immediately need to.." said Afreen before getting interrupted by Jason. "Woah, woah.. Afreen, what's wrong? what the hell happened?" asked Jason. "It's a bit of a situation, the point is, I need your help, remember Tim? the real one, he's in some deep s**t, and my parents, they're asking me to move back immediately." said Afreen.

"Move back? you mean to Canada?" asked Jason. "Yes, I've.. ran out of the house, I had no choice, and I need your help right now, please.. get the safari and meet me at my location, you still got it right?" asked Afreen. "Yes, I've got it, but wait, you ran out of the house? and, what do you mean deep s**t?" asked Jason.

"I don't have time to explain, listen.. I know you saw what I did back there." said Afreen. "Did what?" asked Jason. "Don't deny it, I.. flamed away the snake, you saw that, and it was really sweet of you to never ask about it, but right now, you're the only person I could trust on this, please." said Afreen.

"Okay fine, I'll be there, send me the location immediately, and stay safe okay? Streets aren't safe these days." said Jason. "Alright fine, thank you." said Afreen. "It's alright Afreen, just stay safe alright? I'll be there shortly." said Jason.

Meanwhile, Khayun who prepares himself to head back towards his house, only to get interrupted constantly by Dr Clarissa. "I'm telling you, it's a trap, it is likely you'd be surrounded with Creed soldiers all around you." said Dr Clarissa.

"I don't care, I'm not leaving doc, he's all I got." said Khayun. "And you are all we got." said Dr Clarissa. "I understand that, look, even if Jessica knows I'm against her know, she wouldn't try to mess with me." said Khayun.
