Chapter 17
The folded square of paper burned a hole in my pocket.
I couldnât wait to get back to the hostel and investigate the number that James had given me. After a quick shower to wash off the smell of sex, I threw on my bright blue pajama set dotted with flying llamas.
I sat cross-legged on my bed with my wet hair frizzing out from lack of care. It would look like a ratâs nest tomorrow from the lack of product, but I didnât give a shit. Curiosity wrung my belly into knots.
A quick Google search revealed the identity of the mystery man on the paper. Aaqil Bukhari, Private Investigator of the Greater Cairo Area.
A PI? My mind raced with a bunch of shady conspiracies. Maybe James was involved in bounty hunting or some shit and wanted me to join his side hustle? Or maybe he was a secret assassin who worked with this investigator...like a two-for-one deal for anyone looking to off a person?
Whatever the reason, I had to call the number to find out. I wouldnât be able to sleep until I did.
The line rang twice before it was answered with a quick, âHello,â followed by, âAssalamu Alaikum,â which meant, âPeace be upon you.â
I returned the greeting. âWalaikum salam. My name is KittyâI mean, Sanura Taha, and I was given your number by a friend, James Campbell.â I wasnât so sure we could call ourselves friends, but this stranger didnât need a dissertation on the complexities of our relationship.
âAh, yes. Miss Sanura,â he replied in English. âGive me a moment to pull up your file.â
My file? Why would this guy have a file on me? âLook, Iâm not sure whyââ
He cut me off. âJust a moment.â His tone sounded like he wasnât too fond of bullshit, so I opted to stay quiet.
I overheard the tapping of computer keys as I waited for him to be ready.
Suddenly, he cleared his voice. âI have found it. The search for Yusuf Taha.â
I nearly dropped the phone when I heard my uncleâs name.
âUm, yes.â How did he know my uncleâs name?
âAfter gathering your demographic information from James, I was able to piece together past whereabouts of your uncle.â
âI see.â The words choked my throat on the way out. I was utterly stunned at what James had done. I recalled sharing my wishes to find my family at his apartment, but I hadnât expected him to do anything about it.
I supposed James could have used the required information from my internship application, like my fatherâs name and date of birth. But why would he have gone through all that trouble on my behalf? âAfter graduating from the University of Cairo with his degree in business, Yusuf Taha appears to have married a woman by the name of Miriam Salah. She is the daughter of a successful textile manufacturer.â
âMy aunt,â I breathed out. This was wild. My uncle had a wifeâa family! âDid they have any children?â I blurted out in excitement.
âTwo. A boy named Shiraz, and a girl named Shireen.
