This little birdie went to the big farm downstairs!

On the Helicopter Isaa, and Peter are in.

Peter finished his meal and was chatting with Isaa who mid conversation asked, "mind if I smoke?" "I would advise against smoking in an enclosed space, perhaps you could smoke when we land?" Peter advised but was ignored by Isaa who pulled out a lighter and a pack of cigarettes before pulling a cigarette out of the pack and trying to light it saying, "I'm pretty sure it's aight, what can one ciggie do?". Peter noticed Isaa's hand was shaking with anxiety, and that caused him to be concerned with Issa's mental health.

Isaa tried to light the cigarette but couldn't hold the lighter steady enough to light it and clumsily dropped the lighter before trying to grab, only to be burnt by the exposed bit of the vintage lighter; cursing at it angrily "ألله يلعنك!", he then pulled the lighter back up and wanted to light his cigarette again but he himself saw how shaken up he really was. He couldn't steady his hand, It was shaking like he dipped it in cold water and let cold wind blow on it. he never saw his hand shake this much before.

Peter stated as he grabbed the Lighter from his hands "you needn't fear lieutenant, I may be a sinner and may haps a monster from your perspective. But I assure you ×offers Isaa the lighter back× you will be safe" "you know ×takes the lighter and fidgets with it× this lighter here belonged to my older brother. ×flicks the lighter open and lights it× used to steal it and play with it when I was 7, my brother always caught me though. And me being the dumbass I was back then, eventually got the stupid idea to light a small cigarette and after that, I was hooked" Isaa said as he was looking at the floor contemplating why he is even telling Peter about personal stuff like that.

Only for Peter to get a call from Ellis just as he was going to tell Issa something, perhaps he and him both are two sides of the same coin albeit one is protecting the country and the other is protecting the country from the world and all it's enemies

Ellis told Peter about Khalid's frenzied state, which caused him to repeat some of what he was told out loud to Isaa, who asked Peter in concern for Khalid "DID YOU SAY KHALID?! IS HE OKAY? DID YOU DO SOMETHING TO HIM? I SWEAR TO ALLAH IF YOU'VE DONE ANYTHING TO HIM, I'LL FUCK YOU ALL UP!" "Calm down lieutenant, your friend is just having trouble transitioning from rank خمسة to rank اربعة" Peter answered as he put his hand on Isaa's shoulder giving him a comforting smile that didn't help ease Isaa's worries one bit

After calming down, Isaa asked Peter "what's happening to Khalid? And what exactly are you people? Some sort of black ops unit?" Peter explained and ignored his other question "Your friend is going through what we know as transition. It is a process that rarely occurs in rank اربعة to ثلاثة sinners who have a strong desire. Said desire could be any desire, whether it be to become stronger or rape, murder and butcher anyone in their sight. Normally it takes weeks or even months to finish transitioning. But ×pulls out a phone from his pocket and shows Isaa the cctv footage× it would seem your friend's sin is trying to accelerate this transition. Which will result in him turning into what we know as a feral or jinn" Isaa grabbed the phone and watched as Khalid was scratching away at his own neck and ears while roaring and foaming like a rabid animal who is self-aware of its condition and is trying so very hard to not hurt anyone but himself. Isaa looked shook to his core and scared of him.

"Being a sinner is a curse only few can bare lieutenant. We learned that when we spoke with our sins. for they know us, inside and out. They are just like us; they are the true us in a way" Peter said as Isaa kept watching Khalid roll on the floor while clawing away at his own neck with tears and blood staining his face and hands.

Suddenly an announcement is transmitted throughout the aircraft's microphones "Coming on base in T minus 3 hours" which urged Peter to tell Isaa "you should get some rest before we land lieutenant. The director will want to speak with you, and she does not tolerate tiredness in the workspace" to which Isaa responded by telling Khalid through the phone screen "The sons of arabia never fall low, don't you remember K?" and his voice managed to get caught by the earpiece mic and heard by Ellis who asked Peter "Mr. Dragon, Is that one of the soldiers we extracted from the cave?" "That is correct, his name is Isaa ibn Hussein bin Bandar Al-Qahtani" Peter answered looking a little happy, "Could you lend him one of the spare communication devices you have?" Ellis requested of Peter.

Isaa was then handed an earpiece and was instructed from Peter "just press the button in the center and speak, it should help you communicate with your friend" "really? ×grabs the device and places it in his right ear× and then press this, right? ×presses the top button and almost ruptures his own eardrums with a loud static sound, if it wasn't for Peter pressing center button which made the device glow blue then flicker meaning people can hear Isaa now× fucking shit! that hurt like hell!".

Back on the plane.

Khalid was fighting the urge to rip and tear everyone in sight, but he was fighting a losing a battle since you can't win when you are fighting yourself. He kept screaming "GET HIM OUT OF MY HEAD!" before banging his head against the floor of the plane hard enough to leave an indent in the thick metal floor. Both Kathrine and Ellis had to stay far away from him, in case he decided to take out his pain on them instead.

But then, a demon manifested from the amount pain that was coursing through Khalid's brain. It appeared dressed in thick winter clothing with its tail shivering "×burr× you feel that boy? Winter's coming, and I'm getting tired of watching you act a bitch. ×snaps fingers at Khalid making him stand up slowly× since we're close to the homeland, I will stop... for just one second though" the demon stated before looking at a broken Khalid who's struggling to see clearly through all the blood covering his eyes, "×breathes heavily before glaring at his demon before spiting out foamy saliva× what... did you... do to-" Khalid asked before he was rudely interrupted by the demon "Now, I know this might seem odd. But I'm actually trying to help you become stronger ×gets stared at by Khalid who clearly doesn't believe him× Okay okay, maybe I'm helping myself a little bit here. But that also means I'm helping you too!" "You call... this ×points to Kathrine's bandaged arm and then his neck× help? This isn't ×coughs out more foamy spit× help, NONE OF THIS IS HELPING ME!" Khalid responded as he tried to walk towards the demon with murderous intent but was stopped when the demon snapped his fingers again saying "nah, I don't think so boy. How about I off these two hoes for ya instead? ×Khalid looks at Ellis and Kathrine with his eyes gaining a dark red hue× would that calm you down you? would that appease the almighty immortal sinner?" "Stop it. STOP IT NOW!" Khalid protested as his demon ignored his wishes and told him with a wicked smile across his face "YOU WANT TO STOP ME?! YOU WANT ALL THIS TO STOP?! ×clocks him in the face causing Khalid to get angrier× THEN STOP BEING A FUCKING BITCH AND MAN THE FUCK UP! TAKE WHATS YOURS AND BE HAPPY ABOUT IT! ×grabs Khalid by his chin× you want to be strong? You'll have to kill me, bitch boy".

Meanwhile Ellis was patching Kathrine up since her arm isn't healing very well. Kathrine even muttered "why" "you went to school, finish your words" Ellis retorted as she wrapped the bandage around Kathrine's forearm tightly. "OW! Alright fine! I was going to ask why you would help someone like me?" Kathrine finished her question. "I believe that not all you sinners are a bunch of rapists and extremists, some of you did not wish to be the way you are now. I may bare the sin of lust. But I only lust for the wellbeing of the people I care for and they too care for me ×attaches a metal latch on the bandage fixing it in place and preventing it from unraveling× this should hold till your powers return" Ellis told Kathrine in a less authoritarian voice and a more of a compassionate one which made the cult sinner a little suspicious of Ellis's true motives for helping her. But Ellis was speaking the truth, her sin doesn't only represent lust, it represents her compassion and care for others who too share the same feelings (and it also causes people to perceive her as someone they really care about/love).

However, Kathrine didn't have enough time to work out what Ellis's' intentions were before having to duck away from Khalid's claws coming at her face with murderous intent dripping off of them.

She managed to duck just in time and shouted at him "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?" "Well for starters. I'm a mistake made by shayatan to destroy humanity, I'm also very much an insane, psychotic, murder happy demon who manifested in this boy's mind because of his strong drive to do good even though he keeps getting pegged by dear Ol' fate. ×smiles at her wickedly as he readies his clawed fingers for another attack× basically, I'M HERE TO SHOW HIM AND THE WORLD, JUST HOW MUCH POWER WE TRULLY HAVE!" The possessed Khalid told his soon to be first victim who looked to be stricken by fear due to this primal sense of danger she's feeling in her heart that is trying to tell her to MOVE. Which she does in order to avoid another unprofessional hair trim by Khalid. She then tries to get a feel for her power, but they haven't recovered yet which is bad news when it comes to sinners.

Khalid laughed manically as he slashes at Kathrine blindly only to get shot in the side of the head by a bullet from Ellis's' gun. She watched as Khalid dropped to his knees before uttering "F... fuck Y... you B... bihh..." and then falling on his face with a loud [FLOP!] to the floor. Ellis tells herself "I should not have brought him here without proper restraints. Peter and I will have to speak of this at a later time" before she turns to face a terrified Kathrine who's having a hard time processing that she almost died a second ago "I assume you won't try to escape after witnessing what happens to those who disobey my orders?" Ellis asks Kathrine who simply says "y-yes" and tries to not make as much as a sound without Ellis's' permission which she seemed to appreciate.

When Khalid's body dropped, Isaa's heart did so too. He just witnessed his best friend be put down like a wild animal who was killed because it was too dangerous for the public safety of others. He looked like he was on the verge of tears, but he held himself together and shouted at the top of his lungs "YOU AREN'T DEAD ARE YOU KHALID?! WE DON'T GIVE UP REMEMBER?! YOU DIDN'T GET THIS FAR JUST TO DIE! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE! YOU WILL ALWAYS BE ONE OF THE SONS OF ARABIA! AND WE NEVER FALL DAMMIT! NEVER! SO GET THE FUCK UP!" Isaa's speech got through to Ellis's' earpiece and is loud as shit. Causing the other men on the helicopter to shout at him "quiet down you fucking dickhead!" and "yeah, some of us are trying to sleep here!" and then there's that one guy who stated "i think we should be more sympathetic guys, he sounds like he's going through a rough time" but that guy gets weird stares from his mates as they say "shut up bob!" and bob just kept his mouth shut afterwards.
