The Jinns Amongst Us

Chapter 14

"Sir, please mind your language." said Mark. "Or what? what will you do? put me behind bars?" asked the cop furiously. "No sir, I won't need to, all I have to do is land a compliant." said Mark to which the cop laughs. "A complaint? against a cop? how do you think that will play out huh?" asked the cop.

"I am pretty confident it will play out really well, considering how I have video footage evidence." said Mark. "What?" asked the cop. "Look over there sir." said Mark pointing out to the CCTV cameras in recording.

"Everything is recorded and sent into cloud storage sir, hypothetically speaking, if you were to aggressively invoke conflict and force me into jail, my co workers will make sure this footage will fall into the right hands, now put away the cigarette and behave like a good cop, sir." said Mark to which the cop becomes shocked and speechless as he takes away the cigarette from his mouth, he then attempts to take the phone but Mark quickly takes the phone back.

"One moment, now that you placed your phone in our care, I would like to know a few details on whether this phone actually belongs to you, sir." said Mark with a smirk.

"It's forensic evidence, give it back." said the cop. "Or what? you're gonna put me behind bars, sir? last I checked, I have a excellent film to show them first, sir." said Mark.

"You will regret playing with me, punk." said the cop as he storms away from the shop. "Says the pig with the sunglass." said Mark as he smiles, then plugs the phone to charge right before he views into the security footage and downloads a file.

After having donated blood, Detective Sharon still remains in the hospital, eagerly awaiting for her father's recovery when suddenly a few higher law enforcement officers, including Captain Singh approaches her with Detective Murphy. She immediately stands up, but is confirmed by Captain Singh.

"No, it's okay, please sit." said Captain Singh as both of them sit by the chairs. "Captain, I'm sorry for not reporting in." said Detective Sharon before getting interrupted by Captain Singh. "It's alright, I came running as soon as I heard what happened, I'm really sorry Sharon, something like this shouldn't have happened to anyone, much less your dad, how is he?" asked Captain Singh.

"Recovering, for now, the doctor's haven't given any status yet since the blood donation." said Detective Sharon. "I hope he gets well soon, I'll pray for it." said Captain Singh. "Thank you Captain, and the work, I.." said Detective Sharon before getting interrupted by Captain Singh. "Don't even worry about it, take a few days off, stay with your old man, detective Murphy volunteered to take the case files till you're okay." said Captain Singh.

"No cap, I mean.. I wanna work." said Detective Sharon. "Come on Sharon, this is too much to take on, work's not healthy for now." said Captain Singh. "Cap, it's fine, but, I was hoping if I could take over Detective Murphy's case on this one, maybe he could work over mine while I on his." said Detective Sharon. "You mean you wanna find who did this to your dad? isn't it?" asked Captain Singh.

"I've told you Sharon, I'll find whoever did this to your dad, I promise." said Detective Murphy. "I know you will, but.. you were right about one thing, I cannot think of anything else other than what happened to my dad and.. it's not going to help me with my current case but.. this is my dad, maybe the target could have been me, either way, I can't stop thinking about this, neither can I just sit here while whoever did this is roaming freely." said Detective Sharon.

"I understand, girl, I really do, I'm truly sorry about everything, this shouldn't have happened either, but as your superior officer, and your friend, I cannot allow you to work without having proper mind set, your dad needs you, stay with him." said Captain Singh.

"But.. god, I can't.." said Detective Sharon as she cries and moans as she lowers down. "There, there, it's alright, you can't stay broken, you need to stay strong, for your dad's sake." said Captain Singh. "I'm sorry, I just.. I can't.." said Detective Sharon.

"We understand, Sharon, maybe if any leads come up, I'll contact you, alright, I could use your expertise." said Detective Murphy. "There.. you can work with Murphy, it's great right?" asked Captain Singh.

"Okay, thank you, you're both right, my dad needs me."' said Detective Sharon as she wipes her tears. "You can head out Murphy, I'll stay with Sharon." said Captain Singh. "No, it's okay cap, I'll be fine." said Detective Sharon.

"You sure? it's fine if we.." said Captain Singh before getting interrupted by Detective Sharon. "It's alright cap, carry on with your duties, both of you, I'll call you if we wakes." said Sharon. Captain Singh looks upon Detective Murphy after he response, then nods as they bid their farewells and head away while Sharon waits in the chair in despair.

Meanwhile, just as Captain Singh and Detective Murphy head out the entrance, they begin discussing the details of the break in.:"So, what did you find at the scene?" asked Captain Singh.

"Nothing out of the ordinary, the s**t picked the lock to get in, but we don't know whether it was before or after Harrington's arrival to the house, Harry's friends said he was fine till they dropped him at the house right after having drinks, guess Harry's being drunk worked as a advantage to the killer, he was stabbed multiple times on the body." said Detective Murphy.

"Back or front?" asked Captain Singh. "Unluckily, back, Harry might have been unable to catch a sight,." said Detective Murphy. "You don't know Harry, he always picks up something, when he wakes up, we'll know more, right now, we have to just pray he does." said Captain Singh. "I'm with you on that one." said Detective Murphy.

Meanwhile, Tim goes out on his bike quiet fastly. "Where are you even going at this speed?" asked Khayun. "I'm going to catch my mom." said Tim. "Your mother, didn't she leave?" asked Khayun. "Not yet, if I could reach her within the block, I can make up for it." said Tim.

"Hmm.. it's not my place to tell you, your duties, but, I do not think your decision to be wise." said Khayun. "Really? why is that?" asked Tim. "Your mother is a liability, she is holding you down, it's best if you leave her to.. well... leave, I suppose." said Khayun.

"If you were a person at this point, I would have definitely slapped you in the face." said Tim. "Then why don't you do it in yours? I'm inside you, right?" asked Khayun. "Yeah, like bad bread, never in a million years I thought I would share my body with this.. rude selfish psychopath who has a knack for killing." said Tim.

"And in never in a ten million years did I think, I would be stuck inside a weak puny minded creature such as you, you're a insult to your ancestors." said Khayun. "Wow, I did spell you wrong, you're not just rude, you're asshole level rude, like the king of rudeness." said Tim.

"And you're a clown king of idiots." said Khayun before getting interrupted by Tim. "Shut up, that's the car, hold on." said Tim as he races further towards the cab and gains ahead, then horns in front as the taxi slowly begins to drop it's speed.

Just as the taxi stops, Tim parks the bike and sees his mother approaching him from the taxi. "Mom I.." said Tim before his mother slaps him quite furiously. "Mom, I'm.." said Tim after getting slapped. "Shut up! I said shut up! I told you a million times not to ride a bike till you're eighteen, and now you're racing one right in front of me?" asked his mother.

"I was trying to meet you, I didn't want to.." said Tim before getting interrupted by his mother. "Not a word Tim, just a minute ago, I felt like I made a mistake, to leave my son away just like his father did, but now I understand I did the right thing, you will never learn, you will never listen to anything I say!" yells his mother to which Tim speaks back.

"That isn't true ma, I do listen to you, I love you, why can't you.." cried Tim to which his mother silences his mouth. "If you love me, then you will listen to what I have to say, you're just like your dad, pushing me away when all I needed was to be there for him, my father was right, I am not capable of raising a child all out on my own, I couldn't even raise you properly." said his mother.

"You did raise me properly, ma, you did, look, I'm really sorry, I really am, what I did was wrong, I should have paid attention to you, I should have, but dad's passing hit me hard, and every time I look at you, it reminded me of him, just like it was for you, but it's time for us to move on, dad wouldn't want both of us to grief over him, please mom, don't leave me, I beg you." said Tim.

"I won't, okay, I won't, but our home, it isn't here, this was dad's, come with me, come back to Ceylan, you have a big family there, your father, your uncles, they'll love you, they'll care for you, you will have friends, not alone, not ever alone." said his mother to which Tim starts thinking.

"I know what you're thinking and this isn't the time to get emotional decisions, we cannot leave this place for now, till my job is done, you must stay here, it you don't, I will expose you to everyone." said Khayun.
