The Jinns Amongst Us

Chapter 72

Soon as the Inspector departs back to his office, Dr Prameel, whom had arrived all the way from out of town searching for them had finally arrived in search of them within the police station after having received a call.

As he arrived the station after fueling the Safari, the interns within immediately stand up, to their attention, with Afreen too, immediately noticing it and standing with others. "Dr Prameel." said Max.

"Where is Jason?" asked Dr Prameel who notices Jason is missing within the crowd. "He went on to grab some food, he'll be back shortly.. oh, there he is." said Elias as Dr Prameel turns to see Jason carrying bags of food for the rest of the crew, having brought dinner.

"Dad.. I.." said Jason before getting interrupted by Dr Prameel. "Inside the safari, now, I already fueled it." said Dr Prameel who then proceeds towards the Inspector's office to inquire them of his arrival.

Soon, after all relevant formalities are resolved, the doctor, as well as the rest of the crew are sent back to the safari and car the doctor arrived in to begin their departure, where it goes calm and smoothly, without having caused a big escalation which everyone predicted out to be.

Meanwhile, Khayun continued following Corso, who finally leads him onto a abandoned warehouse where he bursts out into the windows, leading Khayun, but managing to prevail much faster as he lands down and awaits until Khayun whom makes his own way into the abandoned warehouse where he emerges back into his human form. "Took you long enough." said Corso.

"Well, you are fast, I'll give you that." said Khayun. "Thanks, so, let me get this straight to the point, who are you? I mean, of course, I know your name, your records as an agent of Creed, but how did you exactly came to be, and why on earth do you pretend yourself to be.. this? a dead human?" asked Corso.

"I didn't come here to talk about my story, I came here to listen to yours, better make it quick, before I lose my temper." said Khayun. "Oooh.. spicy one, aren't ya? Well, don't worry about it, cuz what I'm about to say, could very well show that spice into the bucket and onto the heart of evil." said Corso.

"Might as well spill out the beans you i***t, tell me, right now," said Khayun. "You wish to know? fine, but first, tell me about.. Nagas, what do you know of them?" asked Corso.

"Nothing much, they're creatures, just like us, abominable ones living in plain sight, which is why I found it confusing on why exactly it's being kept in such secrecy." said Khayun.

"My friend, please, even a i***t could have figured that out, you seriously haven't found it? I'm.. unimpressed Khayun, seriously? I mean, I thought you were on the top of your knowledge skills." said Corso.

"My knowledge skills are fast enough to know, this is not a place to discuss, in fact, you brought me out to kill me, didn't you?" asked Khayun. "Really? and knowing this, you willingly stepped aboard, why?" asked Corso. "What better way to put a end to a monster, if not to walk into his den and put a end before he grows." said Khayun.

"And what makes you think I didn't grow already? I've been living in here, longer than you ever existed." said Corso. "Yet you still haven't got the balls to fight back, and hide yourself amongst Nagas and school kids." said Khayun to which Corso smiles.

"Right, school, got me, but, you see Khayun, I am.. let's say, a associate for hire when you need me, right now, they need me here, which is exactly why I'm here, understand?" asked Corso.

"Mercenary Jinn? now you're starting to get me bored." said Khayun. "Am I? or are you? (sighs) well, since it's clean and clear as day is, on how you just need walked into my trap, rather than just giving a slightest thought of sense, why I keep buying time, so that my associates can figure out a way to dispose of you." said Corso when suddenly the very Naga that attacked Khayun prior latches onto the back of him, in a attempt to take him down.

Realising it is already coming, Khayun reaches out to his back before the Naga could gain on him, and attempts to slam him down using his powers to which it burns off the skin of the Naga as it withdraws back, hissing at him violently.

"You're a lousy little...Urgh...." said Khayun who then gets himself absorbed of his energies when Corso starts using in his powers to slow him down, giving him for the Naga to return back to sink it's fangs onto the neck of Khayun while struggling to fight through Corso.

Corso who continues using all his might into weakening Khayun by absorption to which he almost falls down, and just as the Naga continues biting him off on dozens of sides, he finally falls prey as he falls down, minutes before slamming the naga away just as he falls on his knees, screaming due to the pain as it begins to paralyze him slowly.

"Put a end to the monster? more like putting an end to yourself." said Corso as he approaches and kicks him off into the ground as he feels unwary feeling of being paralyzed again.

"You know, for a guy, with such reputation, you sure seem like a piss pot easy to be taken down, don't know why in the world, the Nagas were ever afraid of you, even your stupidity to walk into a trap all by yourself, isn't that right, my love?" said Corso as he turns towards the Naga which transforms into the shape of a human, revealing her appearance to be none other than Nadja herself, the very girl who Khayun was tasked to figure out of her so called death.

"Is that.. Nadja?" asked Khayun.

"He knows me after all, I'm flattered, if only you let me finish my task, you sick bastard, instead of putting your nose where it doesn't belong." said Nadja.

"But.. why? I came here to find you, to help you!" yelled Khayun while struggling. "Help me? how exactly will you do that? huh? by avenging my death? finding out who killed me? what difference does it make?" asked Nadja.

"What do you mean?" asked Khayun.

"Khayun, isn't it obvious? Nadja wasn't attacked by Naga, because she was one, she always was, until the very bastard the Creed sent, went out to abduct her, in a attempt to subject her for experimental purposes." said Corso. "Horse... s**t! you really think I believe you?" asked Khayun.

"Who cares what you believe? you were gonna die anyway, it is a shame actually, had you never nosed into my business, this wouldn't have been your fate, you could have graduated and went on your way." said Nadja.

"This.. this is a trick, I may not know much about Nagas, but their skill to shapeshift is no secret to anyone, you're simply creating illusions, I know it!" yelled Khayun. "I'm not a living Naga to shapeshift you i***t! I'm dead!" yelled Nadja as she reveals off the demonic side of her which is both a combination of half Naga, as well as a part of Jinn itself.

"I died! thanks to a promise on a life of love, I thought I could live, in the end, this is what it led me to! a wraith of spirit, trapped within the realms of both mortal and ghosts, I would have been trapped here forever, if it weren't for him, my true love, who brought me back with one singular purpose, to destroy you!" yelled Nadja.

"You... You're.. a wraith, but.. if you were one... why didn't he make you a Jinn instead of this?" asked Khayun. "What?" asked Nadja. "He's just blabbering due to the poison, let him die, you know, then we could..." said Corso before getting interrupted by Nadja.

"No, wait, what do you mean make me a Jinn? aren't I one already?" asked Nadja. "Darling, don't listen to.." said Corso before getting silenced by Nadja again. "No! you're.. not, Jinns have.. the ability to pass through.. two worlds, he... made you get yourself stucked on one, you're not a Jinn, still..you're a wraith, just on the other side of the living." said Khayun.

"Is this true what he says? am I not a Jinn still? you promised to make me one!" yelled Nadja as she enrages on Corso. "He's lying, darling! I wouldn't do that, I mean, you are a Jinn, this is all I could make you, there was no way to fully make you a complete Jinn, he.. speaks false." said Corso.

"No! he doesn't, the venom, my venom, it doesn't allow any beings to speak out lies, but you tell me, did you, or you did not make me a Jinn?" asked Nadja. "I.. uhm.. I could but.." said Corso before getting interrupted by Nadja. "But what?" asked Nadja engagingly.

"Let's just finish off his bastard, then we can focus on making you a Jinn? alright? I promise." said Corso to which Nadja thinks for a little while, until she lets go, backing off Corso to finish off Khayun as she stands aside. "You're weaker than I thought, explains why he didn't make you one in the first place." said Khayun.

"Shut up Khayun, why do you resist? can't you accept the death and die, just for once, I mean, think about it, you'll finally be free of setting your path towards hell and heaven, I mean, this poison should have killed you by now." said Corso.

"I'm a lot stronger than you, you little s**t! you think this is the first time, I've been in a situation like this? soon I will rise, I will kill you all when I do!" yelled Khayun.
