The beauty and the Yabani

"He sent the time and place of the job tonight. I'm pretty sure it's a drug deal." Yaman said. The others suddenly felt the weight of the situation. 

"Right about now it would be great for you to open up about this great plan of yours." Cesur said. He looked frustrated an guilty as all of this had started with his mistake. 

"Look, I managed to record the conversation I had with them when they called me to the factory. It should count for something!" Yaman said. He searched for the audio from his phone to show the evidence. 

"And you would do what exactly with that?" Cesur asked, looking confused. 

"Well, it could act as leverage against him! They don't want trouble with the police, right?" Yaman said.

"Wait! Yaman, I filmed that incident in the factory! They were keeping Cesur, they initiated a fight against minors, right?" Rüya said. She found the video quickly from her phone.

"And Cesur is a witness, he saw and heard stuff from them when he was being held, right?" Asi said, looking at Cesur with a questioning face.

"Yeah, I suppose... But how are these things going to help us get them off Yaman's back? I think they are not going to let go easily." Cesur said. 

"Yaman, you already tried in your way. Let's try my way now, okay?" Rüya said. She looked determined and confident.

Yaman thought about it for a moment. It wouldn't hurt to hear her out at least. He nodded.

It was 8:30 pm, Yaman was feeling nervous. He had never done anything like this. Would it even work? Didn't Yakup smell things like these from miles away? 

He had no other option now. everything was going to go down tonight, no matter if he liked it or not.

Rüya had chosen all black clothes for him. He didn't really understand things like these, but she had said it went with the vibe. Who was he to disagree?

Yaman closed his eyes to center himself. He imagined the scene before he had left here. Rüya had looked scared. She took his hands into hers and softly squeezed them. As he was leaving, she jumped up to hug him. "Please, don't do anything stupid and come back safe, okay?" She had whispered into his ear.

It was the most comforting thing he had experienced in years, if not ever.

He opened his eyes and took a deep breath. After this everything would be fine and he could go back to Rüya and his siblings. He just had to get through this night.

Yaman headed into the casino, scanning the place with his eyes. It was how he had expected: it looked what you would imagine a casino to look like, with rich and shady looking men filling the tables. Some were smoking cigarettes. The employees were dressed in suits and waiters in black skirts.

Yaman found Yakup with his gaze: it was about to start. He adjusted the necklace Rüya had put on him and headed towards Yakup's table.

"You actually came. I believe we can be great partners in the future." Yakup said to him, wearing his trademark smirk.

"Sure. You didn't really leave me an option. Let's get this over with. What do you need me to do?" Yaman asked, looking around the table.

"For now you can just stand on guard. See how the business is done. You have great potential in this field." Yakup said, signaling for Yaman to stand a couple steps back from him.

"Great." Yaman answered.

He had a great spot to see what was going on in the room. He picked out a couple people from the room with his gaze, thinking they were probably going to join them eventually.
