14. Hot Drinks & Discussions

SKYLA.

It’s a few hours later and Dad, Ri, Liam, and I are in the human city, in a small coffee shop that is nestled away in the corner of the town on a quiet street.

Country music is playing softly in the background and although it isn’t my type of music, I can’t deny that it makes me want to tap my foot along to it.

Raihana has put a spell around us, so no one can hear what we are saying as we discuss the goings ons over hot drinks and a variety of desserts including cream cakes, donuts, and biscuits. A conversation which is completely the opposite of the warm ambience of the café.

“The body was in a bad state.” Liam says, pulling a face from where he’s sitting beside me. Dad is opposite me where he is sitting next to Ri.

Malevolent is under the table, rubbing against my legs as Ri stirs her coffee, her head resting on Dad’s shoulder.

Neither Ri nor I had seen Zayn’s body as she had said she didn’t want to. I had wanted to, but both Dad and Liam agreed I didn’t need to see it.

“So uncle, was it that bad?” I ask Liam.

“Yeah, it was… but I still feel the piece of fabric in his hand was not torn in a struggle. It could have just been put there…” He says and the other two nod their agreement.

“What colour was it?” I ask as I take a donut from the centre of the table.

“It was too grimy to see, but I’ve got pictures and the body will be viewed again.” Dad says as two men walk past and shamelessly glance over at Raihana’s boobs as they walk past, but one cold glare from Dad makes them pick up speed and move along.

Idiots, but got to give them points for bravery considering that even with our auras reigned in, humans can still sense our abilities, and everyone has been casting glances our way.

“He’s been dead for far too long to be fucking overlooked. Didn’t his parents bother to check up on him? That’s shady-as-fuck,” Dad says.

“I’ve already contacted Rayhan, the investigation team. They’ll look into it.” Liam says.

“And Leo’s requested for the body to be sent to him to run some of his own tests.” Dad says.
