The Hijabi Detective

Caught by Madiha

Jessica found me, her boss and senior detective in the room in my most humiliating position - naked, tied up spread eagled. How could I ever live this down? How could I ever have respect from my junior officer Jessica?

Jessica: "oh Ma'am, what has he done to you, I'm so sorry."

I closed my eyes in shame as I let my junior officer soak in the sight of my naked and pathetic self, tied up. She rushed towards the corner of the bedposts where my wrists were tied and untied me.

I slowly got up and stood next to her, trying to cover my bare body with my hands as best as I can, with my head bowed, totally defeated...gosh Senior Detective Nabila was a pathetic sight.

Jessica: "Did he rape you?"

Nabila: "No" I blurted out before she got the wrong idea

Jessica: "Then what did he do? What's the meaning of this?"

Nabila: "I don't know, he just tied me up like this and left"

I could see pity in Jessica's eyes as I was almost in tears, snivelling, a sorry and pitiful sight indeed.

Jessica: "Wait I think I saw your clothes lying outside, let me grab them."

Jessica brought my clothes back.

Jessica: "Sorry I couldn't find your underwear there, were you wearing any?"

Humiliation washed over me as I felt my cheeks burn in shame as Jessica was asking me such an embarrassing question? What could I answer? Could I admit to her that the Shadow Thief did all this just to steal my undergarments? No that would be too humiliating and raise more questions, and I don't even understand it myself. So I decided to lie and just rush into wearing my blouse and trousers.

We got out of the building in a rush and got into our cars. Both of us were a bit shaken by the ordeal although my defeat was far more humiliating than anything Jessica experienced. But once inside the car, I gathered my thoughts and took charge of the situation as the senior officer. Although it was extremely difficult to muster authority particularly with what I was about to ask Jessica.

I requested her to leave the part about finding me tied up and naked out of the report. We were going to file a report staying the building was deserted when we found it and there was no presence of anyone, least of all The Shadow Thief. This was a huge blow to my dignity, having my junior officer find me naked, defeated and tied up. However I had to minimize damage and make sure the rest of the department did not find out about it. Surely there would be a lot of disgruntled male officers who would love to hear the sordid details of my humiliating defeat. Grrrr!! No way was I going to give them that pleasure.

Jessica, the sweetheart that she is obliged and vowed to keep the real story to herself, not even share it with the other officers in the department.

I had met Azhar a couple more times for dinner and he was more gracious and looked more handsome each time. I had to make a decision soon as my parents were also breathing down my neck.

I finally decided to do what I had thought of doing a long time ago. Everything about Azhar was perfect, he was good looking, respected women, was kind, generous, and did I say drop dead gorgeous? With a great body? Not that it overrides his personality and manners but it helps right? But I had my feminist instincts to go with my detective instincts – never trust a man so easily. So it was time for me to apply my detective skills on Azhar and look through his life.

First I started with his social media accounts. Then using our internal systems, I looked through his phone records, text messages, and finally his emails.
