The Jinns Amongst Us

Chapter 71

"Show me how, exactly?" asked Khayun. "By offering to you accompany you to our way of life, who we actually are, perhaps I'll even teach some of the tricks that I know, might help you in your missions, ain't it? especially if it's undercover ones" said Corso.

"And if I refuse this wonderful offer? what then?" asked Khayun. "Well, if you're not with us, you might as well be against us, but.. I sincerely doubt it might come to that." said Corso. "I have a habit of proving others they're wrong." said Khayun. "And I have the habit of proving others I'm right, anyway, I don't want to take much of your time, just.. think about it, will you?" asked Corso.

"I'll agree to this, only if you let Mr Prakash go, he has nothing to do with this, and holding him in hostage might well as raise my temper." said Khayun.

"Yushh.. calm down mate, you are sparkling in rage of temper, alright? I'll let the teach go, okay? he'll be back by tomorrow within his desk, and should be leaving away from this place, in fact this entire country, if necessary." said Corso.

"Ugh... fine, having humans does put you in the place of danger, given the fact now that he knows his own student is one of his enemies, I doubt he'll even allow himself to let you stand alongside his students." said Khayun.

"Great, just great, well then.. if everything is arranged, I shall be taking my leave then? not to mention, I'll be waiting after the class ends to come pick you up." said Corso. "No." said Khayun.

"Pardon?" asked Corso.

"Not tomorrow, now, at this very moment, you are obliged to show what you have to say in your side, if you don't, we stand at a crossroad." said Khayun. "Ahh.. well, when you put it like that, I suppose I could offer a comprise, then, very well, follow me." said Corso.

"Just like that? I was hoping for some negligence." said Khayun.

"Here's the thing mate, when you are eager to see what I have to show you, I'm eager to show you as well, so, I'll show you everything, but first, I need to take you somewhere, a place where everything started off at first, follow me." said Corso as he turns away into a form of dark cloud, similar to Khayun's transformation but with his own color.

"Ugh.. let's get this over with." said Khayun who prepares himself as if he's getting ready for a fight and sets off to follow Corso as a form of dark cloud as well.

Just after a minute had passed since their departure, Dr Sayeed arrives from the office as soon as he's out. "Khayun? I found something interesting, you need to.." said Dr Sayeed as he notices Khayun had already departed, leaving the door wide open.

"Oh.. you left, well, at least you could have shut the door." said Dr Sayeed as he departs to shut the door and get on with his duties while Khayun is being left with a fate which likely seems to be a trap towards his eye.

Meanwhile, Afreen, as well as the others within the small group of young interns, are all placed within the police station in silence, given each person is sent to brief on what he actually saw.

As Afreen stands by in one of the benches, seated alongside the girls, she spots Jason towards the opposite bench where he looks at her suspicious, given how she bursted off a flame through her hand.

Suspecting Jason might have realised what she actually is, Afreen tries her best to not to be confronted by him in any way as she looks away, until the turn comes where she is called for interrogation.

"You're up." said Elias as he steps out of the Inspector's office to which Afreen gets up and steps aboard within where she sees a lady inspector seated.

"Come, have a seat." said the inspector to which Afreen sits, but with a certain fear since she had never set foot within the police station where suspects are being brutally harassed within the cells where it is clearly visible to everyone.

"So, Timothy Blake, is it? where is your ID?" asked the inspector. "I.. I'm sorry.. I don't have a ID." said Afreen quietly which the inspector doesn't hear. "What?" asked the inspector loudly to which Afreen coughs up her throat and gets ready to talk.

"I don't have a ID!" yelled Afreen.

"Don't have a ID? what, you a foreigner or something?" asked the inspector suspiciously. "Yes.. yes." said Afreen while noding her head. "Oh, you don't look like one, I assume you have a passport then." said the inspector. "Yes." said Afreen.

"Give it here." said the inspector as Afreen slowly hands over the passport to the inspector which she rips it from her hands and starts reading it. "Your name, it says you are Afreen Ashkar here? you said your name was Timothy Blake right?" asked the inspector.

"Yes, I'm sorry, my.. my real name is Afreen Ashkar, it's just that.. my friend Tim, he.. he asked me to be here on his behalf, that's why.." said Afreen to which the inspector leans back within her chair.

"Ah... so, you pretend to be Timothy Blake right? what for? did he give you any money for it?" asked the inspector. "No, no, no, it.. it isn't like that, I just... he asked for my help, he..he was in the.." said Afreen right before getting silenced when the inspector yells at one of the officer's to come aboard to which he arrives.

As soon as he enters, the inspector starts yelling at him at first, which frightens Afreen as well as the others from outside to which Afreen slowly looks down to hide away her fear.

Soon after the inspector is done talking, she instructs the officer to get every single details of this girl and to take her with him in her native language.

"You, go with him (offers back her passport) hand him all the details he asks for, if you give us any sort of misinformation, you'll be prosecuted within the cell." said the inspector.

"No, please, I won't, I swear, I'll tell the truth." said Afreen. "Go then, next!" yelled the inspector as Afreen departs with the other police officer out of the office while the next in line, Daniela gets up.

While the rest of the group are concerned over what happened to her, Afreen is lead inside, towards the police officer's table which is right beside a cell where a convicted criminal is being beaten with a stick inside by another officer.

His screams and constant begging frightens Afreen even further, but having no choice, she is left to sit there helplessly.

Suddenly, the officer starts asking a question within his own native language to which Afreen doesn't know how to reply, given she doesn't know.

"I.. I don't.. understand." said Afreen to which the officer repeats again as Afreen's eyes suddenly becomes flooded with tears, not being able to withstand her terror which irritates the officer as he starts yelling at her as well, until he lends off her hand in a indication to offer the passport which she holds.

"You mean this? passport?" asked Afreen to which the officer nods and says passport as well, then returns to his murmuring in irritation as he rips out her passport from her hands and begins writing down the form using the given details within.

While he writes, Afreen spots the convicted criminal inside, whom is currently being beaten, starts to wooing her, which angers the officer within the cell further as he lands off each beating brutally until the criminal is knocked off unconscious to which he stops.

Seeing this at first hand, Afreen's hands start shivering just as the officer who finishes beating steps out of the cell where she spots the criminal being bled on several wounds he got due to the beating.

Soon, the officer at the table snaps off his finger towards Afreen's face, to divert her direction back, then he points out towards the document with a pen to make her sign.

With a hurry to be left out of the place, Afreen soon starts signing the document, then after the commandment of the officer to fill in her mobile number as well, she continues filling it in as well to which the police officer closes the file, then yells at his native language to get out as she slowly gets up, and begins to proceed.

As she enters back within her bench, feeling sad for her, Jenina immediately stands by her side to comfort her to ask what happened inside. "Hey, you alright?" asked Jenina to which Afreen doesn't reply and instead leans in on her shoulder to which she comforts until the last suspect is done inquiring where the inspector herself steps out with her.

"Okay, now that the inquiry is done, all of you are ordered to head back home immediately, once your legal guardian arrives, where is he by the way?" asked the inspector.

"Arriving ma'am, I said called him a minute ago, he said he's close." said Jason. "Oh, right, tell him to hurry up, I can't leave the station without sending you kids safely home." said the inspector.

"It's fine ma'am, you can head home, if you wish, we'll depart ourselves once Dr Prameel arrives." said Elias. "Hey! learn to behave yourself first! didn't your parents teach you properly on how to behave?" asked the inspector rudely to which Elias doesn't reply.

"If I wanted to leave, I would have done it anyway, only reason I'm staying here, was because of these girls, not even this station safe enough to keep them, who will answer to their parents if something happens huh? you?" yelled the inspector.

"We are sorry, inspector." said Max.

"I don't need your sorry, just report back if you receive a call, that's it, otherwise, I might have to drag you all the way to that cell, then beat out the truth from you, understand?" asked the inspector.
