Chapter 32 - Chapter 32: A Tiring Night

After hearing what Fedyenka said they went silent. One of them started laughing. The other one among the four of them started yelling at him in Arabic. Fedyenka understood every word he said. He said, "Can you be a little serious you donkey? We were given a mission by the higher ups."

Fedyenka stared at them as if she did not understand anything. She replied to them,

"I was not going to the cops. I was going somewhere else."

"Where were you going?" said one of the men.

"I was going to the bathroom."

"What..."

They started talking in Arabic again. One of them said,

"Is she not being a little bit too goofy? Can we trust her words?"

"Um...Can I please go? You guys can monitor me from outside." said Fedyenka.

"Do not even try to trick us. Go."

She went inside and sat on the commode after closing it. She checked if there was any dirt. Then she took out an earphone from her back-pocket, tied the small hand shower in a way so that it could be on the whole time. She put it aside somewhere so that it won't make Fedyenka wet. She took out her mobile phone and searched for hotline numbers in the country. She called the cops. One of the men knocked on the door and said,

"Are you finished yet?"

"No...I am doing dook dook."

"The fu- Does this girl have no grace" said the man in Arabic.

The cops picked up the call. They told her to press zero if she cannot talk at the moment. She pressed zero and in one minute she could hear some cars coming towards the place she was at. She untied the hand shower and took the earphone back in her pocket. She got it from Yuri. He told her that he has many so he gave it to her.

"Is there someone in here?" said a woman.

Fedyenka cautiously opened the door slowly. The woman was wearing a short kaftan with harem pants. Her head was covered with something they calls hijab. Her dress was black as well as her sunglass. Perhaps the sunglasses has some other uses to them. Seeing Fedyenka's eyes, the woman said,

"Scarlet eyes...Hm...You are Fedyenka. Don't worry you are safe with us. Come out."

Fedyenka silently came out.

"Fear not. We are the cops. Mind telling us a little about what happened?"

Fedyenka explained everything to her. She laughed and told her,

"Perhaps, the higher ups of OUTE has sent these wanted criminals too test you. Anyway, thank you for letting us know. You are really clever I gotta say.Do you need us to escort you?"

"No. I can go by myself." said Fedyenka.

"Be more careful. Wadaean."

"Wadaean."

The cops left the place. Fedyenka took on her mask again which was laying on the ground. She could not remember when it fell but she did not brainstorm about it. She started browsing things on her phone again. Suddenly a call came. She remembered correctly, that was Yuri's number. She picked it up and said,

"Hey Yuri."

"It seems that you have passed. I will not say anything additional. Be even more careful. The expedition of a Toru is no matter of laugh. Goodbye! Sleep and eat well. Don't get fat."

Yuri hung up. Even though he said that he won't say anything additional he in fact did say a lot of things that could be considered as unnecessary and additional. Thinking about that, Fedyenka giggled. She checked if she still has the card. She hides it in her chest pocket because it can be zipped. Since someone knows where it could be, she thought of changing it place. She said,

"Maybe I should make a pocket in my jacket which cannot be seen well."

She headed back to the hotel. When she got home, Bea rushed to her and started rubbing her head against Fedyenka's, as always. Both of them jumped on the bed. They looked at each other and smiled. Bea asked her what happened on the way. Fedyenka told her everything. Hearing such bizarre time Fedyenka has spent, Bea got anxious.

"(O-O)'...WHAT...ABOUT...THE...CAPSULE?" showed Bea on her screen.

"Well it was definitely handed to them by OUTE. I don't think that they handed them something that would actually have poison in it. They most likely realized it as well."

"(^-^)?...WHO...AND...HOW?"

"The weird guys who were sent to test me. How? Well, since they have already known that I called the cops the moment they saw them, I think they pressed the button right at the moment."

"SO...PROBLEM...RESOLVED?"

"Yeah I guess. I gotta be careful though. Aight, let's search about-"

"(>.<)"

Bea started pushing her to the door.

"W-What is it?" said Fedyenka.

"...YOU...NEED...TO EAT."

"Uh...I did eat."

"(^-^)?"

"Chocolate milk."

"(' - ')...THAT...IS...NOTHIN...-G...LIKE...FOOD...(>~<)"

"It is!"

Bea started pushing her again. Since Fedyenka's little companion was pushing her, she could not say no to her anymore. She went outside of her room and bought some Pulao and a bottle of water. She went back to her room with it. Covering herself with the blanket, she browsed around the internet searching various things. Most of the contents were obvious lies so she closed immediately and thought of buying a book along the way. Then she took her jacket and removed the stiches from a part of the pocket on her back. She does not know why it has a pocket inside the jacket which is on the back. Perhaps it was made like that to disguise pickpockets.

"Bee?(~-~) (0-0)???"

"This? It's for extra safety of the damn card." said Fedyenka.

"(-o-)"

"Hey Bea, is there any library in this hotel?"

"(0-0)"

"You don't know?"

"...NO..."

"Oh...guess I gotta go outside and see by myself."

"...DON'T...GET...IN...TROUB...-LE AGAI...-N"

"Woah Bea you seem like you are lagging ha ha. Wait a minute you really are lagging. Bea what is wrong with you?"

"Bee...(-^-)"

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"I...DON'T...KNOW."

"I will contact someone right away. Stay here."

Fedyenka went outside, locking Bea up in the room. She saw some guapas and asked them about Bea's condition. They simply told her that she might need some adjustments.

"Why does she need adjustments again..." said Fedyenka.

"Please head to the counter. You will know where you can go to adjust her." said the guapa.

"Okay thanks."

Fedyenka went to the ground floor and headed to the counter. Even though the place had AC, she was sweating because of her anxiety.

"Um...hello. Can you tell me where I can do some adjustments of my robot?" said Fedyenka.

"Please head right. You will find a bearded person there wearing a pair of goggles." said the man in the counter.

"Oh okay, thanks."

Fedyenka headed to the right side of the counter. She got terrified the moment she opened the door. There was a man who was standing on top of nothing. She went towards it and bumped into something invisible. The man looked down.

"Ahlan Miss. What do you need?"

"Can you fix my robot? She is lagging a lot these days."

"Leave your robot here. You will have her fixed in- By the way, what is your robot's problem?"

"She lags."

"Please be certain."

"She communicates by showing things on her screen. The things are appearing a bit slowly today."

"Ah. Your robot must have bumped into something really hard so her parts got shaken. It will take me some minutes. Where is it?"

"It's a she. I will bring her now. I was concerned about her safety so I did not bring her out right away."

"Okay then. I will be preparing the needed things then."

Fedyenka left the place and went back to her room. She held Bea in her arms and went to the ground floor again. This time she looked up to see the name of the room. There was a signboard which said, "Warshat Anas." It reminded her of the gentlemen she met.

"Um...excuse me?" said Fedyenka after opening the door and looking up expecting to see the man again.

"Oh you have arrived." said the man and took off his goggles.

She kept Bea in front of him. He observed Bea and asked about her parts, the things she was made with and her age. By age, he meant when she was created. Fedyenka could not answer most of the things he asked but she tried her best.

"Can I ask you something?" said Fedyenka.

"Ask away." said the man.

"Do you know where I can find Hawayashumu?"

"Hawayashumu...Heh..."

"Huh?"

"You will face various monsters on the way. Be careful. You will find it in the Mountain of Aelasifa."

"Oh...why doesn't my own personal assistant work in this country?"

"It won't work anywhere else except the place you live in."

"Oh...Lastly, what is your name Sir?"

"I work here as an assistant of two businessmen. Their names are Anas and Arif. My name is Habib."

"I see...You look like the chef of this hotel a lot."

"He he. I am his brother. You are talking about Sadiki yes?"

"Yeah..."

"It will take me some time to fix her since you don't know what she is made of."

"Oh...so, when will I get her back?"

"Tomorrow morning."

"Okay Sir. Thank you."

"Just call me by my name. I feel overwhelmed if you call me that."

"Oh...okay...Wadaean."

Fedyenka left the room and went to search for a library around. Hearing her question, the man in the counter said,

"It is on the Seventeenth floor."

Fedyenka simply thanked him and headed to the library. She looked for books about the materials she needs. While searching she found a book that has no cover. She opened the book to read it. Her brain got stormed with blurry memories. There was written,

"Humans are puny little creatures. Yet, they are the most terrifying ones. They are modifying themselves. They has to die or else mother nature and us, both will go in flames."
