We will send an officer to investigate .Rami: "Did you find where Saleem lives?"Lieutenant: "Yes, but he is not at home and the investigation is undergoing".Rami: "Can I have the address?Lieutenant: "You need a permission for that, why you want it!"Rami: "I want to do contacts tracing"Lieutenant: "Get the permission and you got it."
After getting a permission Dr. Rami went with a medical team to Saleem's house to find his younger brother, sister and mother, and asked: "When was the last time you met Saleem?"Sister replied, "About a week and a half ago."Ramy, "I want to ask your permission to take samples for testing ."After Dr. Rami took the samples, he asked them, "Do you know where Saleem is?"The mother replied, "No, and we have said that in the investigation."Rami: "If you know anything that might lead us to his place, please tell us, there are innocent people who might get infected by his contact and it's life theretning especially if they are suffering from chronic diseases."Sarah (his sister) then said: "we don't know where he is, but ..."Rami: But what?Sarah: "He has a number of bad fellows ... Maybe he's with one of them ... We want him to be fine and to receive treatment and not to follow their footsteps."Ramy: "Do you know their names, where they are, where they live? And How did you know that they are bad fellows?"Sarah: "My husband always called me to warn my brother from them."Rami: "Does he know anything about them?"Sarah: "I think so."Rami called Sarah's husband and took some information and the address of one of his companionsSami, that young man in his twenties.
Rami's anxiety and fear about the cars that followed him kept plaguing him reminding him about the safety of his family, so he decided to rent a car every day ,entering and leaving the work undercover and changing his clothes with putting a mask on everytime.Rami didn't know what to do, as he middled between fear of those who followed him, his desire to find Saleem before the number of the infected increase, and the desire not to interfere the work of the police.Ramy then noticed the presence of the blacksmith's car in front of his hospital, same car that he once saw it chasing him.He went out, followed it in secret, the blacksmith stopped at a store for a few minutes,Rami's wife called him, he apologized to her for the delay, he told her that he is fine and he would explain when he arrive.Then the blacksmith left the shop while talking on the phone, He said: "I will meet you in the stadium after the match."Ramy followed the car until he reached a youth sports club.The blacksmith went down and greeted a number of young men and heard one of the youths say, "Where is Sami? The club is about to close. Did you tell him that today's word is (I am here for my meal)"one of the guys said:" he should have asked before he paid the money hahaha"Ramy: "He must be Sami, Saleem's friend, but why all of them waiting for the match end, aren't they here to watch the match?!"The blacksmith entered the club after he greeted the gatekeeperA young man also entered the club and told the guard, "I'm here for my meal!"Ramy tried to enter the club, but the gatekeeper prevented him and told him that the match is about to finish , and we have to end the league early before the cases of Corona rises, which is the government's instructions to them."I'm here for my meal."Ramy said. The guard brought him in immediatelyRami said in his mind: "I should not attend the match. There are a lot of people and I might get infected ... Maybe I should sit as far away from the people as possible and see what happens when the match ends."Ramy entered the seats area after a number of people started leaving and sat down... after a while the match ended, The guard came over and said to Rami: "What are you waiting for?"Rami said, "I am waiting for my meal."The guard left him, and Rami was amazed.One of the young men said, "Can any one wake Saleem, we brought him food before the dose?"One of the young men looked at Rami with a suspicious look, so Rami got up from his place, and the young man spoke to one of the youths and pointed to RamiThen Ramy was surprised that the stadium had turned into a shed to use drugs, he filmed with his phone and got up from his place slowly.Ramy contacted the lieutenant and sent him some picturesA young man followed Rami who noticed Saleem while trying to speed up his walkThen the young man bumped into him from behind and said to him in a sharp tone:"Who are you", and shouted guys: "There is a stranger here !!!!!"A number of young men gathered around him, so Rami tried to leave, number of young men increased and one of them removed his face mask. "Dr. Rami !!!!"Saleem said with astonishment"what are you doing here? "Rami:"You must come with me, Saleem."Salim told him: "I cannot, I ran away because you will not gonna provide me drugs, and if I did't die from Corona, I will die from the lack of the drugs.Ramy: "Saleem you shouldn't infected more people. I will try to help you and make you get rid of the addiction. Just come with me" (Suddenly they heard the police sirens )people said :"The police have been reported","He reported to the police."
he has handed us over to the police, we're doomed" Saleem said showing symptoms of fatigue."I want to save you from sickness, death and drugs," Ramy said while resisting blows.Punches kept coming to Rami.Then the police broke in into the scene, and started arresting of the youths, and found Rami lying on the groundThe officer called, "Bring the ambulance... I repeat, bring the ambulance immediately."The ambulance took Rami while he was bleeding,Rami said to the paramedic lying in the ambulance car in a disturbed voice: "Please, quickly. I might lose my consciousness , My name is Dr. Rami. Record a voice message from your phone and send it to the lieutenant on this number."The paramedic rushed to register the number and said, "I started the recording, start talking."Rami said, "I am Dr. Rami, Lieutenant ... Saleem was among the drug users in the stadium. They must be checked for infection with the police who guards .... The injured should be isolated and the drug rehab facility must be contacted to supervise the accused ... ... Do not put them in prison with other suspects they gonna spread the infection.
