The Jinns Amongst Us

Chapter 82

"Forgive me, when I arrived in the ship, I was n***d, I could have met you the same way, but I was cold, had something to wear and I took it." said Corso.

"Very funny." said Agent Jessica. "Pardon? It wasn't a joke, I was being serious." said Corso. "Cut the crap and tell me what you did with the crew first? where are they?" asked Agent Jessica. "Jessica, please, you wound me, besides, you really think I would be capable of killing and grave robbing my own friends?" asked Corso.

"Who the hell are you calling friends?" asked Agent Jessica. "You, of course, soon to be, given the information I've yet to tell." said Corso before getting interrupted by Agent Jessica.

"Just tell us where is the recon team is? the exact location." said Agent Jessica. "Oh, Kay, they're at the cryo sleep, I wouldn't wake them now, if I was in your place." said Corso.

"How do I know if you're just bluffing." said Agent Jessica. "Because, Jessica, only common similarities between you and me is, we cut straight to the s**t, which I would like to do now, instead of wasting time, because I brought gifts my friend." said Corso. "Put your hands up in the air, on your knees as well, now." said Agent Jessica.

"You're still angry about the whole thing? huh? fair enough, I mean, I did go a bit far.." said Corso before getting interrupted by Agent Jessica. "On your knees, now!" yelled Corso to which Corso sighs, but does exactly as he's commanded to do, as he falls on his knees with his hands upward to which Agent Jessica gives the command to arrest him, as well as secure the real recon team inside.

Meanwhile, back in Ceylan, Khayun is brought through a luxury vehicle along with Dr Clarissa and her associates, which seem to go a long way, having stood for silence. "How long is this gonna take?" asked Khayun.

"Just a few miles, you got somewhere you need to be?" asked Dr Clarissa. "Not at the moment, but if I don't check in, they'll know." said Khayun as he signals in a text message towards Athina to update on his status. "I see, an admirable result, for someone working towards the Creed." said Dr Clarissa.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" asked Khayun. "You'll see soon enough." said Dr Clarissa. "How about you tell me now instead of this waiting around crap? I heard the story back there, you wanted me to hear it, but why?" asked Khayun. "All will be revealed in due time." said Dr Clarissa.

"I don't have time for this, from the way I see it, you're taking me to some unknown place for answers, exact thing what Corso did, until he eventually tried to kill me." said Khayun. "Please, I'm not Corso, Tim, and if I wanted you dead, you'd be dead, the only reason why I'm taking you right now, was because of two things, one, I am desperate for help, and two, I've got a good feeling about you." said Dr Clarissa.

"That's a first." said Khayun. "People don't trust you I suppose?" asked Dr Clarissa. "No one, trusts anyone in this place, it's always about betrayals and backstabs, greed flows like river in the hearts of men and women, people do not pray for goodwills and gestures, they just want something, and are willing to do whatever it takes to get it, including lick the boots of whoever coming down to offer it." said Khayun.

"For some humans, yes, that might be true, but believe me when I say, there are some good in them too, like all of us." said Dr Clarissa. "What difference does it make? some chosen to use us, while some are left to be used, that's all." said Khayun.

"We shall see whether you speak the same, after showing you what I intended for you to show." said Dr Clarissa. "Which is what exactly?" asked Khayun right after the car stops, indicating their arrival. "Ah, I see that we are here, come." said Dr Clarissa as she leads along with Khayun out of the car, and onto a operational factory owned by Dr Clarissa herself.

"A factory huh? isn't this where people get murdered?" asked Khayun. "Come on." said Dr Clarissa as Khayun follows her onto a short route into one of the buildings where she comes across a small entrance, immediately upon pulling the trigger, the surface of the buildings goes down, revealing a hidden chamber as they await and see for themselves to find a small operational laboratory working underneath it.

"You cooking d**g or something?" asked Khayun to which Dr Clarissa chuckles. "Something like that." said Dr Clarissa as she proceeds towards the laboratory where the scientist working inside nod at her arrival, and Khayun gets himself shocked to see some Nagas, in form of both human and snake combined who sly around as test subjects for the scientist to work around.

"What is this place?" asked Khayun. "Many things, Mr Tim, many things." said Dr Clarissa. Soon, they reach towards the containment chambers where Nadja along with many detainees is being held, who gets awaken when Khayun sees them.

"Rat! what is he doing here?" asked Nadja. "Good to see you again too, how's the accomodations around here?" asked Khayun. "Why did you bring him in here?" asked Nadja. "For answers Nadja, he deserves to know the truth." said Dr Clarissa.

"But he's one of them." said Nadja. "And was blinded by it, yes." said Dr Clarissa when a scientist came within a syringe, containing half a liquid within it as he hands it to her. "What truth? what the hell are you both even talking about?" asked Khayun.

"You'll see soon enough, dear, if you could do the honours." said Dr Clarissa as she opens in a small tube, large enough to put her wrist through. "No, freaking way!" yelled Nadja.

"My dear, if you don't do this, I'll kill you myself, gently." said Dr Clarissa to which she frustrates, then prepares herself as he puts in her hand through the wrist to which Dr Clarissa plugs in the syringe through her wrist and draws off some of her blood to which she starts mixing it.

Knowing he will not get the answers he needs, Khayun patiently awaits assure until the doctor is done with everything she needs, and finally rolls up the sleeves of Khayun and prepares to sink in the syringe to which Khayun stops.

"Wait, what is this?" asked Khayun.

"The truth, breathe still, do not worry, all will be clear soon." said Dr Clarissa as she sinks in the syringe and begins proceeding injecting the vial she had on Khayun, which at first burns his skin, but then floats through, as his eyes become glowing in the same colour as the blood.

"Relax, let the memories flow, soon you will come to know, but here, let me help you." said Dr Clarissa as she draws into the spells of her own, and launches it into his head.

Soon, Khayun finds himself within a blank state of place, which turns away into a very base comprised of Creed agents, as memories become fully glyphed, Khayun finds himself curious, to see Nagas here as well, when one of them is dragged towards a corner, Khayun races to follow, but finds himself within a laboratory where Nagas are held in cages.

Their state are left with barely being able to live within small cages and plauges in which they tied for blood extraction. Some of them are left to get beaten up by the Creed agents while their children are left to watch it from a distance, whom are yet sad but in a more deprived state considering their hunger.

Seeing this, Khayun is horrifed, as he witness the state of Nagas, whom is sent to investigate had been discovered and are put through tortured and brutalised states through various sorts of experiments by the Creed as only the screams and cries of their subjects could be heard.

"What sort of a s**t place is this?" asked Khayun. "This? nothing really, this was just a base, out of many others where my people are subjected to t*****e and be r***d, in the name of experiments and better future." said Dr Clarissa through her voice heard by Khayun only as he resides within a place of memory.

"Why? why would they do this?" asked Khayun as the notices the very girl that was dragged is Nadja, who starts to get enchained within a flat surface which lasers out her flesh in a attempt to obtain her heart to which she screams helplessly.

"Nagas have a specific abilities in their blood, a regenerative quality, capable of healing any type of living beings, the Creed sought this as a opportunity to forgo with bio experimentation on all Nagas, in the name of research, when we refused, they took us in by force, and extracted all their can before we die, which for us, sadly didn't go as promised, since we never die, even after going the worst of tortures." said Dr Clarissa as Khayun sees the heart extracted from Nadja goes on beating while the dead body remains numb, until she reawakens, with all her teared flesh growing back.

"This is insane, this is.. wrong." said Khayun. "Yes, it is for a human, and since we're not one, I suppose the rules don't exist for us." said Dr Clarissa. "How did you all escape?" asked Khayun.

"With a help of a friend, a Jinn, a friend of the Nagas from ages past, Corso's biological father, Ke'fiy." said Dr Clarissa as suddenly from behind, a burst of flame bashes out in ash colour to which Khayun turns, and soon, he finds the very same Jinn, the exact one this time, who enflames the entire place.

Bursting out all the mirrors and cages as the Nagas go free, killing and torturing back the scientists who put them through hell.
