As they walked into the station, the officers gazed at him with their mouths open. Everything about him was strange, his cloth, his hair, his lips are even purple, not to talk of his handsome face, that is out of this world. James led him to his desk and sat on his chair and urged him to sit on the chair in front of him and he did. James adjusted his posture on the chair and leaned forward to question him. He looked into his deep blue eyes and asked.
"what is your name?"
"Calohun"
"no last name?"
"Cohen"
"oh, what do you do for a living" he asked and typed something on his laptop.
"I don't know"
"you don't know, oh you steal right"
"no" he replied and looked down at his handcuffed hands, it wasn't that he couldn't break it loose but he decided to let it go.
"then what were you doing in the lady's room?" James asked and stopped pressing his laptop
"she summoned me and I answered her call" he said and James couldn't help it, he laughed, attracting the attention of other officers and they all turned to their direction, looking at both of them.
"She summoned you" he repeated and laughed again, putting an end to his laughter, he asked, "what are you? A genie". Calohun didn't answer him, instead, he crossed his leg and sat down comfortably on the wooden chair and James scoffed, suprised by his bold action.
"and why are you putting on this kind of cloth, your hair why is it this long? You are looking so unkempt?" he
"how is that your business" he said and he scoffed again.
"I am going to charge you for breaking into someone's home and attempted theft" James said and he still didn't say anything. "Raymond" he called "lock him up" he commanded. The man violently grabbed Calohun by the arm and dragged him to the cell and locked the iron gate, then removed his handcuff. Calohun sighed and sat on the floor and folded his leg up and rested his back on the wall, he needs to be careful with the way he deals with this officers, "they are just weak mortals" he muttered to himself and closed his eyes, if only that human lady did not summon him, he thought.
*************************************
The meeting with their investors ended and Dan offered to drop her at home since it was getting dark. Without giving it another thought, she accepted the offer and got into the front seat, beside the driver's seat and buckled up her seat belt and they drove off, then her phone rang. She brought it out from her hand bag, boldly written on the screen is "James". She hurriedly answered the call and placed the phone on her ear. "hello" she said
"hey, how are you?" he asked
"fine"
"are you at home?"
"no, I went for a meeting but I am on the way back"
"okay"
"did the man confess?" she asked, curious
"that man is a really strange one, everything about him is strange, he said you summoned him"
"right, he kept saying that when I asked him what he was doing in my room"
"I think he is insane"
"hm"
"I have to go now, I have a couple of things to do, I just wanted to make sure you are okay"
"I am"
"okay then, take care"
"bye" she said and hung up the call
"the theif must be a difficult one" Dan said
"what ah yes he is" she said and smiled
"did he steal any of your goods"
"no" she said and no one spoke again, they drove quietly.
They reached her house and she thanked him and came down from the car and he drove off. She went inside and drop her bag on the couch, she went to the room and pulled off her shoes and slumped down onto the bed. Her mind drifted back to the man who broke into her home. Now that she thinks about it, the man was really strange, his dressing and shoe, his hair, everything about him was strange, she was too angry to have noticed those things before. She rolled over and laid on her back, spreading her arms wide on the bed. What if the man was insane, he kept saying you summoned me why, she thought. Slowly her mind drifted away from the man to her grandma's secret room, the spell books and drums, she would ask her aunt about it when she goes visiting. Wanting to forget the horrible things that happened today, especially the man that saw her half naked, she recollected today's event with her boss especially the part of him dropping her off and she giggled. She closed her eyes and drifted into a peaceful sleep, tommorow is Sunday, she has a lot of groceries and laundries to do.
