Next day noon, at Main wing Library*

Sabrina texted Khaled to meet her at Main wing library,

she remains sceptic towards what she found in file, it all was too much to process.

She sits in library out of touch with reality and her head in case file,

she tries put pieces in order mentally recalling the event one by one,

first it starts with a girl who went missing, then her friends start to go missing,

same starts to happen to multiple places simultaneously,

the case gets taken over by private investigation department that too was authorized by governor,

though rest of events made some what sense this one was standing out,

why would governor authorize private investigators when he has enough power to authorize whole forces under him,

this officer Ruksaan, mentioned in file...

does that have anything to do with Sabrina's mother?

Khaled enters library and sees Sabrina totally spaced out,

she looked as if she stoned out completely,

Khaled calls her off from her from her zone,

he was certain that Sabrina was for sure still processing whatever she found in encrypted file,

"Brina? You okay? You've been spaced out for too long..."

"Yeah I'm alright, I just didn't get enough sleep"

"Oh, so you got too excited about this case that you didn't sleep"

Sabrina rolls her eyes and brushes off Khaled's comments,

she opens her laptop and starts showing Khaled the case files and reports with it,

they both match up their own speculations and rule out from where they have to start looking

Sabrina, after taking a long breath suggests,

"If this case file is real deal, then I have pretty much idea from where we can start"

Khaled,
"From first missing victim?"

When Khaled asked this, Sabrina had same thought within her and did not voice it out loud,

But when Khaled did, it somehow felt the wrong answer. She thought for while a little differently.

Khaled had asked this knowing it is something that any simpleton would suggest without much thought,

'Start from scratch????' This is that what his question truly sounded like.

But he does it so, to play his part perfectly,

That is to lead Sabrina towards something she could have never reached by herself,

how? What? Who and where?
These are some words that pushes a person towards the desired answer,

but these words are more effective when it's not coming from within oneself,

If it does, then it only leads towards confusion and doubt.

He made himself as her inner voice filled with doubts and thoughts so that she would not question the path she had taken,

he did so,

so she could just keep moving to find the answer without any hesitation or so.

And just like that she reached to the answer where she should be,
