The Jinns Amongst Us

Chapter 60

Just as Khayun fights off against the Naga which almost killed the doctor, the doctor himself currently calls Jessica for a few tries and soon is picked up by Jessica as he gives one more try. "What?" asked Jessica. "Please, it's a emergency.. we're being attacked." said Dr Sayeed.

"What? how, who's attacking?" asked Agent Jessica. "I don't know, it.. appears to be some form of Naga, please send help." said Dr Sayeed as he runs away just as Khayun slams himself into the table after bashing himself into the wall while being clenched by the Naga which attempts to try and grip him into force.

"You.. b****y, s**t!" yelled Khayun as he fails in each attempts to try and apprehend the Naga as it moves through and within places too quickly for Khayun to respond to.

Soon as he rolls down himself after getting smashed into the table, where Dr Sayeed runs towards his safearm keep, Khayun bursts out his entire body into green flame which burns off the Naga as it falls away from his body, but manages to sink it's teeth onto the ribs of Khayun before doing so.

"Urgh..." said Khayun as he screams and falls down due to the bit he took while the Naga taunts at him.

"It'll take more than a bite to stop me." said Khayun who enrages onto the Naga once more while it throws off several furnitures onto him, and just as he latches to catch the Naga while it attempts to bite directly towards his face, the scales of the Naga rips out his skin as it flows through, latching onto the face of Khayun while he attempts to get rid of it.

While their fight continues on, Dr Sayeed rushes onto the safe where he launches several codes and finally gets himself the rifle he built for occasions like this.

As he enters back into the hall, he finds Khayun being beaten in his face and foot which makes him go paralyzed while the Naga almost attempts to swallow him in whole to which Dr Sayeed fires off the rifle correctly into the skin of the Naga to which it withdraws and screams as it falls to retreat. Just as he runs after the Naga and opens fire at it again while it slips through a hole within the yard of the house as it escapes.

Just as Dr Sayeed goes on to catch a breath, Khayun calls out to his name, not knowing what to do as his leg and face becomes completely paralyzed as time passes. "Khayun!" yelled Dr Sayeed as he rushes back towards him and starts checking in on him as he takes a close look at the bite marks.

"The venom, it's making you paralyzed, hold on, I'll get my equipment!" yelled Dr Sayeed as he rushes to search for this equipment. As hours pass, soon, soldiers of creed, whom had arrived on behalf of Jessica's orders have swarmed through the house, attempting to track the whereabouts of the Naga.

Meanwhile, Jessica herself whom had arrived shortly after her squad, rushes out to the basement where Dr Sayeed and several doctors have just completed the treatment. "What the hell happened? is he okay?" asked Agent Jessica.

"He'll live, we managed to extract the venom as best as we can, but still, some got through, it will be a while before he could walk." said Dr Sayeed. "For a human right? I mean, Khayun is a complete Jinn, he doesn't require the host of a human body, how can something such as a venom affect him?" asked Agent Jessica. "Because, this isn't just a snake's venom, it's a Naga, first time I ever seen one, and it almost got through to me, to the point it had me killed, and I would have, if not for his intervention." said Dr Sayeed.

"I... I am sorry, I was preoccupied with other matters, I wasn't paying much.." said Agent Jessica before getting interrupted by Dr Sayeed. "I told you, from the start, that it was a bad idea to let Khayun and me come here alone, we could have been almost killed." said Dr Sayeed. "But you didn't, did you? and not to mention the fact, that I told you and Khayun to stay low, not to draw unwanted attention unless required." said Agent Jessica. "What do you think we did as attention? we didn't do anything rational." said Dr Sayeed.

"Then how did the Naga find you? where did you go?" asked Agent Jessica. "I've researched an abandoned mine, looking for abnormal snake pit, to which I didn't find any." said Dr Sayeed. "But the snake got to you, didn't it? when will you ever learn not to head out on your own, remember what the last time what happened when you did?" asked Agent Jessica.

"I told you! I didn't find anything, if anything else, it was a public spot, a place for tourists, I didn't think I would draw attention." said Dr Sayeed. "But it did, and look where it got you." said Agent Jessica. "I would have ended up here, either way, and as for my previous encounter, drawing myself alone as you put it, I actually managed to save Sharon from the demon that was haunting her." said Dr Sayeed.

"Yes, you did, by offering another jinn to enter her body, making her a even more threat, do you even know she escaped from our cells, she's out there, right now, and we have no idea where or how to find her." said Agent Jessica when suddenly Khayun wakes up, bursting out a wave of dark green energy as he wakes up to which Agent Jessica and Dr Sayeed rush to check. "Khayun? are you alright?" asked Dr Sayeed.

"I... I.. can feel my legs again, face too." said Khayun. "Yes, we've managed to get the venom out before it's too late, hopefully it worked." said Dr Sayeed. "You just told me some got through to him." said Agent Jessica. "Jessica, you're here?" asked Khayun. "Yeah, glad to see you're alright, sorry about the calls I didn't answer, I was busy." said Agent Jessica.

"What could be busy than this? we're risking our life, thanks to you." said Dr Sayeed. "Well, I'm here, aren't I? now if you'll excuse me, I need to make a quick call soon, check his vitals." said Agent Jessica as she tends to the phone she just receives as she leaves away from the scene.

"What the hell happened, what was that thing? where did it go?" asked Khayun. "A Naga, I'm afraid, it must have followed me here when I investigated into one of their old caves, are you alright? seriously? you don't look fine." said Dr Sayeed. "I am doc, thanks, now.. I might need to go now." said Khayun as he attempts to walk out of his bed, but ultimately falls. "Woah, you can't, you need time to rest, trust me." said Dr Sayedd. "This can't wait, I need to head there, it's important." said Khayun.

"What could possibly be this much important than having risked your life?" asked Dr Sayeed. "It's.. complicated, and.. isn't there a way to fix me soon? a booster perhaps?" asked Khayun. "A booster to what? we thought you were gonna stay still for weeks, but here you are, awake and alive, it's already healing fastly enough." said Dr Sayeed when suddenly Agent Jessica calls his name from afar.

"That's my cue, take rest alright, give your body some time to heal, this is enough for one day." said Dr Sayeed as he too departs, leaving Khayun alone with the other nurses and doctors, who seem preoccupied with checking their own work.

"I need to head there, but how?" asked Khayun within himself until he remarks on what Angelica said, having not seen Tim in real life, someone else could take his place whilst he remains in recovery.

"I need a phone, and a minute, alone." said Khayun to which the doctors look upon each other, then agree to his request as one of them hands over his phone, then proceeds to leave to which others does too as Khayun remains alone to which he waits till everyone is gone, then starts typing in a number and calls it promptly.

Meanwhile, within Afreen's house as she lies, taking a nap, even though it's broad daylight, suddenly gets a call from an unknown number. "Shit..." whispered Afreen as she latches on to grab her phone and answers it. "Hello?" asked Afreen. "Hello Afreen, it's me." said Khayun who seem to be on the other end of the call. "Who?" asked Afreen. "Tim! I mean, it's me, Khayun, I need your help." said Khayun.

"What?" asked Afreen.

"I was supposed to assist a doctor who was offering Tim's mother and him, supposedly, as a research assistant in particular jobs, but.. I got myself injured, I can't go right now, but I need to attend him at the same time." said Khayun.

"Can't you postpone it? saying you got your leg broken or something as a excuse?" asked Afreen. "This isn't something I can postpone at, I could try, yes, but it would mean a huge loss to Tim, I'm doing this for him, well, his mother to be exact." said Khayun.

"What do you mean?" asked Afreen.

"Tim's mother obtained a huge amount of loan, she was paying it through this job, which was passed onto Tim as today would be likely an actual appearance of punctuality, trust me, it's important." said Khayun. "Okay, what can I do to help?" asked Afreen. "It's simple, instead of me, you go." said Khayun.

"What? No, no way, that's even worse." said Afreen. "Trust me, it isn't, this doctor Prameel, he has never seen mine, or Tim's face, he wouldn't be likely to recognise you from Tim or anyone at all, even if he did, you could say, you came on behalf of me." said Khayun.
