Five Part C

Having managed to slip through much of the security scattered I scanned through everything I could see. As my eyes searched I came across two people that looked familiar, too familiar. I wracked my brain trying to think where I had seen them before and I didn't stop until I realised who they were. David and Sid, they were seniors to our batch. In one if the competitions held Zoya took on Sid and beat him to a pulp, she left him with a scar above his right eyes, which is what helped me recognise who he was. Hoping, praying that they did not know who I was or recognise me in anyway I crept up to them and hid behind the large pillar they stood near.

I zoned in on their conversation, listening out for anything that would lead me to Zoya, to wha was going on and why.

'Sid, why are we standing around here, it's too dangerous'

'It's the safest place for us...with these waistcoats everyone thinks we are members of staff'

'What went wrong, we had everything planned'

'I don't know, Zoya messed up big time bringing the AZ's are with her, they were never part of the plan...no on was supposed to die, we were told specifically no casualties, all we needed was those documents...why Zoya pulled the trigger I don't know'

I felt my whole body freeze over as I continued to listen to them, Zoya killed those delegates. A girl who despite being a trained killer had a soul, a heart, she was innocent, she as an angel and now she was nothing but a cold blooded killer.

I tied to listen in more, to try and find out what papers they were talking about, what was it that they were after and why but I got nothing more. As soon as they moved I moved with them, it was the only way I was going to get to Zoya.

On the other side of the building Zoya stepped outside to meet Tariq 'you proved me wrong Zoya...you outdone yourself once again...well done' Zoya didn't respond to his compliments in any way 'here...these are what you want...take them and go' 'what about them...the ones you have in their' Zoya fisted her hands, she narrowed her eyes and stepped up to him 'they walk away...in the same way they walked here...' 'Why bring them?' 'You left me with little choice...you got what you wanted, don't involve yourselves with them' 'you see Zoya, I am involved with you...so that makes me very much involved' 'I mean it Tariq back off' Tariq started laughing 'backing away' he said holding his hands up 'they need to have gone by sunrise Zoya...and you I want you back on that bike, just one more phase and then victory is ours' Zoya let out a scoff 'you are delusional...we lost a long time ago a Tariq...we are no longer the Dark Angels...we have become the Devils' 'and there is truly no one darker than us'. Not wanting to entertain his nonsense any further Zoya walked away.

'Tariq' Tariq turned around to one of his men 'why are you letting her go, you know how crazy and dangerous she can be' 'just the way I like her...I need her...for as long as I have what she wants I can use her as I want...she will never say no to me'. 'Asad?' 'Asad is no threat to me or any of us...he knows nothing, he thinks Zoya is behind this all...and she is but not why...come on let's get out of here'

Zoya put on a burkha and went to stand near a group of women who also stood wearing the very same. As she waited for their coach to come Zoya looked up toward the room where they all were 'what I have done is unforgivable...but I am truly sorry' she said to herself. Zoya was about to turn around when she saw Asad step outside, she knew he was looking for her, he was angry, he needed answers, answers she could not give him.

Zoya's eyes started to moisten, she let out a laugh that was filled with pain, she laughed at her life, her destiny. The boy that she fell in love with, than man that she loved stood before her and he hated her and there was nothing she could do about it.

Asad came out, with the amount of people there he had lost sight of everyone.

'Come on Zoya, where are you, I know you are here, I can feel you' my eyes search for her relentlessly, it was strange but it was as if I could feel her gaze on me. Looking around I saw a group of veiled women, something pulled me in their direction, so I started walking.

I wasn't far, almost there when a a few security officers approached them. The female officer made the women line up and turn by turn they pulled back their veils to show their identity.

As each one called out their names they were allowed to board the bus.

'Samar' 'Nazia' 'Raheela' one by one they were moved on, feeling frustrated I turned around when I heard 'Asya' I shot round again but missed seeing her face, her voice, could it be here? I took another step closer when a man came in between us 'Asya please keep an eye on Huda, she is not feeling well'

It was my mind playing tricks, my imagination, it wasn't her. I knew there was nothing I could do, I had lost all leads and everywhere I went I hit a road block. I had to get back to Zack, we had to get out of here but before that we needed to find out what those documents were.

I walked back into the room to see Ayesha almost in tears 'what's wrong, what happened' 'Zoya...I...' In a panic I stepped up to her and took her by the arms 'what about her...what happened?' I asked with urgency 'she...she just called' 'what did she say?' 'That she was leaving...she said we had until sunrise to get out of here...and that she hopes that Allah will bring us face to face one more time so she could explain'

I felt as if my insides being ripped apart, I felt as if I was going crazy 'did she say anything else...give a clue of any kind?' 'No'.

I slumped myself on the bed 'I lost my leads...from what they were saying Zoya wasn't supposed to kill anyone then why did she? Outside there are too many people, I couldn't find her...it was as if I could sense her, feel her...I even thought I heard her voice, a girl behind a veil...but it was someone called Asya'. Zack placed his hand over my shoulder to reassure me at the same time Ayesha turned around 'Asya...Asad it was her...it was Zoya' both me and Zack looked up at her 'how can you say that...it wasn't' 'Asad and Zoya, As and Ya makes Asya...it was her...she left us with a clue...Asad where was that bus taking them?' 'I...I don't know...Ayesha it...' 'Please trust me on this...I know Zoya, you may not believe her as you go by the evidence, what you see...but I can see beyond that...Zoya may have done some of this, maybe all of this but it's not her calling the shots...someone is making her do this' 'who...and why...Zoya has nothing, no one...if anyone was making her do this don't you think one of us would be in danger right now?' 'We are not because she kept us with her...Asad you show as much anger as you want but you love her and no matter what will always love her...for the sake of that love please believe me, trust me'

Zack sat down next to me 'Ayesha is never wrong Asad you know that...if what Ayesha is saying is right then Zoya is in danger...who ever is using her, and in this case it looks like Tariq then once he gets what he wants from her he will kill her'

'Zack we have no time to waste...we need to find out where that bus went' Ayesha wrapped a scarf around her head and walked out leaving me totally dumbfounded.
