Chapter 20 - IN THE GRAVEYARD

A young poor boy is seen running swiftly and sighing deeply in the quite dark and silent streets at 3: 45a.m. He looks frightened trying to hide himself from three men who are trying to kidnap him, with tears in his eyes, fear on his face and innocence overloaded, sweating and trembling, runs into the nearby graveyard. He seems to be a 9 years old boy, dressed in dirty and torn up clothes, sitting behind a gravestone. He tries his best not to produce any sound and even his voice gets lost and he seems unable to speak, out of fear but his trembling body and sounds of his fearful sighs indicates his presence and leads the kidnappers make their way into the graveyard.

Surprisingly, they think a couple of times before entering the graveyard and finally decide that they will run out of the graveyard immediately after catching the poor boy. They enter the graveyard with knives in their hands and move swiftly towards the little boy. They stagger sometimes, walking very carefully as the stones and bushes are scattered in their way and scrutinizing the whole graveyard to avoid being seen by the graveyard holder and memorizing a psychiatric fear of evil souls and ghosts but still want to catch the young boy.

Hidden behind a gravestone, the young boy is looking for someone to help him. Somebody pats on the shoulder of one of the kidnappers. As a consequence, he becomes frozen for a second, out of fear, then turns and becomes damn surprised with his face turned white when he sees The Man in Black standing behind them. He shouts aloud and catches the concentration of his other two partners and the boy as well. In addition to them, a young man sitting closer to a grave with a lantern in his hand at a pretty distance from them, also hears his affrighted scream and stands up hurriedly.

This young man in white shirt and blue jeans seems to be Humayun. He ponders for a second but doesn't waste a minute anymore and pursues the direction of the sound he heard. The Man in Black immediately blows the kidnapper with a high kick on his nose and twists the wrists of the other two kidnappers in such a way that their directions are turned and they forcefully cut their own throats with the knives in their hands. Fallen over the ground, trembling over the mud and colored with their blood, they are enjoying the last breaths of their life. The poor young boy with a continuous flow of tears and scared expressions on his face is looking at him, still sitting behind the gravestone. The Man In Black has also created a link of sight with him which suddenly breaks by the arrival of Humayun. Sighing deeply which indicates that he came by running to them swiftly.

He runs and holds the young boy tightly and hides him from the sight of Man in Black then shouts aloud dauntlessly,

"Hey, you! What do you want?"

He goes closer to the Man in Black, leaping over the half-dead bodies of the kidnappers and tries to blow a punch at him but the Man in Black avoids it very conveniently and intends to kick him but he stops, steps back and runs away.
