-THE SECRET ROOM-
Alpha says to Jamal,
"The sheep got away and two of our pigs are dead-"
Jamal laughs out loudly. Then he kisses the skull's forehead on his lap.
Then says while rubbing the head of the skeleton,
"Chop them up,
season and barbecue them and-
give to the dogs at the circus saying 'Premium',
they won't judge.
And make sure to draw the spells,
perfect funeral for pigs.
But don't worry about the sheep,
let him loose for few days until that day!"
Alpha takes his phone and calls someone and says,
"Turn on the grills—"

Date: 12th June, 2027
Location: Amir's house
Time: 01:23 PM
—Amir's Room—
Faruq wakes up and he finds himself in Amir's room. It is already mid-day.
He gets up,his head is hurting a lot, he touches his head and finds bandages on his
head.
He pulls out his phone from his pocket and tries to call his girl, but her phone is out
of service.
He is also starving, he checks his pocket, his money is missing. He gets up and sees
Amir coming out of the toilet smoking a cigarette. Amir looks at him, smirks, goes
to another room and comes back with some food. He gives Faruq the food and sits on
a chair.
Faruq with a confused voice asks,
"How did I come back here?
I don't remember-"
Amir stares at him and smiles. Then says with a low voice,
"One of my friends found you by the roadside,
called me and brought you here.
Then I came back!"
Faruq with a sad voice says,
"Sorry Amir for ruining your vacation."
Amir smiles and says,
"Don't worry, eat something first~"
Faruq looks at the food and says,
"Thanks man, how was Aunt, have you send her my regards?"
Amir takes a puff while staring at Faruq and then says,
"Don't worry, she is really happy,
she has finally got something what she deserves~~"
Faruq with a confused voice says,
"I'm alright now.
You can go back to her, don't worry about me!"
Amir smiles mysteriously and says,
"Ya, I'll go back to her when the time comes.
Btw, Where's your girl?"
Faruq says with a worried voice,
"I couldn't contact her.
Let me call her again-"
He calls but fails. He touches his head because it's hurting. Amir notices that and
tell him,
"Drink the juice, your pain will go away at once!"
Faruq smiles and drinks the juice. But after finishing the juice, he gets shocked and
says,
"What the heck, all the pain vanished at once.
What medicine did you use?"
Amir smiles and says,
"It's a gift from The OWL~"
Faruq with confusion in his eyes asks,
"The Owl? Who's that?"
Amir rubs his hand over Faruq's head and says with a smile,
"You don't need to know–"
Faruq with a slightly angry voice says,
"You never tell me everything!"
Amir's face gets serious. Then with a cold voice he says,
"I only put dirt in dirty things.
It's for your own safety!"
Faruq gets angry and says,
"Don't treat me like an innocent one.
You know exactly how far I can go just for you.
Even 26 months ago, I -"
Amir puts his finger on Faruq's lips and says in a cold voice,
"If you really wanna play the extremely dangerous game-
then wait for some more time.
I will prepare you for the worst.
For now just know that-
OWL is a genius with medicine and technology.
He also makes my pills.
That's why I can sometime sleep for maximum 30 minutes-"
Faruq saying with a surprised voice,
"30 minutes?!!!
I slept quite well after taking only half of one!"
Amir smiles and says,
"Cause it depends on your trauma.
Less trauma, more sleep!"
Faruq's eyes got bigger as he realizes something and says with high voice,
"Then you mean you got more trauma than me?
Has that happened during those 13 months you disappeared?
Amir grabs and squeezes Faruq's cheek and says in a cold voice,
"Enough talk for now.
Rest as much as you can and call your girl again."
Faruq is silent. He doesn't say anything, as if one wrong word will separate his head
from his body. He calls his girl, but no answer. He sees Amir is getting ready. He
asks with a soft voice,
"Where are you going?"
Amir replies,
"Got some work to do!"
Faruq stares at Amir as he gets out of the room.

-01 hours 18 minutes left till Faruq's Birthday-
Date: 17th June, 2027
Location: Interrogation Room
Time: 10:42 PM
(Interrogation Part X)
The Leech leans forward and ask,
"The OWL, again. A fake code name holder!"
The Leech with serious voice asks,
"Why didn't you tell me before, that The Owl is a genius?"
Faruq gives an evil smirk and says,
"You never asked~"
The Leech leans forward and says with a serious voice,
"What else do you know about The Owl or other Code names?"
Faruq leans on the chair and says with sarcastic voice,
"I just know that The Crow takes out the garbages from the society,
And The snake hides in shadow, nothing else–"
The Leech stares at Faruq and says doubtfully,
"And this Amir,
he must have a code name too for himself, right?"
Faruq looks at the ceiling, takes a sigh and says with a low voice,
"I don't know-"
The Leech stares at Faruq with doubt and says,
"Why did Amir help you to this extent?"
Faruq looks at The Leech and says with sadness in his voice,
"He was always helpful, and used to smile a lot,
But he was gone for 13 months, we thought he died,
when he came back after that, his smile was missing–"
The Leech says,
"If he didn't use any phone, then how you two met again?"
Faruq looks at the cigarette packet then looks at The Leech. The Leech gets up, lights
a cigarette and puts that on Faruq's lip. Faruq takes some puffs and starts talking
with a sad voice while looking at the ceiling,
"At the station,
I went for a smoke, and saw someone who looks like Amir,
I called him, but it was not him,
Then I bought the cigarette,
and on my right– I saw Amir,
It was definitely him, but his smile was missing,
his whole face was covered,
I could just see his eyes,
then when I grabbed him from behind,
he smashed me on the ground,
and said 'Sorry, reflexes'.
Then we talked for a while,
and he gave a piece of paper with location on it–
and told me not to bring my phone or any devices or anyone else
whenever I'm visiting him."
The Leech leans and asks,
"What was he doing at the station?"
Faruq takes a sigh, smiles a little, then replies with a soft voice,
"Well,
later I came to know that,
Everyday for an hour,
he went outside to feed street dogs and cats."
The Leech frowns and asks,
"Why?"
Faruq stares at The Leech and replies,
"Amir said —
' If I helps the weak ones-
Then on The Day of Judgment-
The Lord will show more mercy-
To my own weak sinful soul.'----- "
Saying that Faruq looks at the ceiling and makes a deep sigh.
The Leech keeps staring at him while listening to his story,
"Then continue—"

-AT THE SAME TIME IN ANOTHER ROOM-
Date: 17th June, 2027
Location: Torture Room
Time: 10:42 PM
(Torture Part VIII)
The Tick scratches his own head like a mad man and says,
"Acting tough with The Tick isn't really a smart choice!!"
Then he walks up to the table with the tools, picks up a bottle labeled as poison,
walks up to Amir and says with a confident voice,
"You want a sip?"
Amir's staring at him with a smirk.
The Tick continues speaking with a creepy smile,
"Don't worry,
It's really tasty.
It's made with poisonous snakes and insects.
Some venomous animals are also mixed together."
Then rubs his hand on Amir's hair and says with a low voice,
"Don't worry, you won't die.
One sip will just take you to a trip in a new world of illusions-
while your mind will tell me everything I need to know.
I won't let you die that easily,
I got the antidote."
The Tick puts the bottle on Amir's lips. But to his surprise, Amir bites the cap with
his mouth, snatches the bottle from his hand, lifts up the bottle and starts drinking
the whole bottle. The Tick tries to remove the bottle but Amir kicks him quite a far
from sitting on the chair.
The Tick gets up quickly and ties Amir's leg again with the chair, in the meantime
Amir finishes the whole bottle and spits the bottle on the side. The Tick looks up after
tying and sees Amir is licking his own lips like he just had something delicious. Fear
covers The Tick's eyes. He is staring at Amir like a helpless animal in front of its
predator.
Then Amir says with a satisfaction voice,
"Delicious!!!"
The Tick can't believe his eyes, It feels like something is wrong, it feels like he is in a
dream. He speaks with a frightened voice,
"Is this a DREAM?"
Amir smirks,
"If you think it is, then it is."
The Tick is silent, words can't find a way to escape from his mouth.

(Faruq's Testimony)
—05 DAYS left till Faruq's Birthday—
Date: 13th June, 2027
Location: Near a basketball court in a Field
Time: Afternoon
Faruq and Amir go to the basketball field to chill. Amir plays basketball for a while,
and Faruq is just observing him. Then they go to their friends who were sitting
near the field. When they reach them, Amir notices everyone is drinking some juice.
Amir looks at Faruq , then goes to one of his friend Zihan then takes his drink and
gives that to Faruq while saying,
"You know sharing is caring~"
Zihan smiles and says,
"Have as much as you want, just leave a little a bit at the end for me"
Amir smiles and rubs Zihan's head. Then they sit with others.
Amir lights up a cigarette. Suddenly Faruq holds his own nose and with unpleasant
voice he says,
" Eww can you smell that?"
Amir asks,
"What?"
Faruq says while holding his nose,
"The smell of weed, we should find them and report them–"
Amir smirks and says,
"Ya, I forgot,
there are still some people like you in the society-
who likes to put their fingers into other people's peace.
And I call them 'Jealous Mistress'---"
Faruq says with wonders,
"What you mean putting my fingers,
I'm trying to be a responsible citizen!"
Amir smirks and says,
"Responsible my ass,
If you really care,
then go and eradicate homelessness or fix the system!"
Faruq is staring. Amir says while smoking cigarettes,
"Don't put your nose into other people's businesses.
And if they were doing drugs-
which are created with chemicals then I would have stopped them.
But weed is natural."
Faruq frowns and says,
" Ya but they commit crimes like stealing, and robbing just to buy drugs-"
Amir says,
"Well the system allows them to buy drugs-
but doesn't give them scopes to earn money legally, so whose fault is this?
If the system allowed them to earn money,
they wouldn't have committed those crimes."
Faruq says,
"But doing drugs in a public area is harmful for others!!!"
Amir says,
"Then tell the system to give them a place for that like a Smoking Zone.
The society isolates and treats them differently just because of the drugs,
they don't treat them by their heart or moralities.
Isolation separates them from the society-
which makes them an enemy of the society.
Give them a job to earn money and a place to do natural drugs.
Mark my words, they are not garbage of the society,
they are the hidden gems of the society-
which the society doesn't want to polish.
That's because if they polish them, one day they will leave drugs and-
the system's business will go down!"
Faruq replies,
"So you are encouraging others to do drugs???"
Amir smirks and replies,
"Not the chemical ones, though.
And everything in this world has its benefits and side effects too.
Little bit of anything gives you benefits-
but extreme use gives you side-effects.
So nothing extreme is good-
whether it's food, medicines, drugs, money, love etc.
It's all about balance,
even The Almighty has told us not just to pray all the times,
But to search for Rizk and Knowledge while remembering HIM-
and praying on time."
Faruq is listening, Amir looks at the sky, frowns a little bit, then gets up and says,
"Let's go home~"
Faruq asks with wonders in his eyes,
"Now why?"
Amir smirks and says,
"Full moon is coming~"
Faruq gets up without saying anything and they go home together.
