The following days were quite stressful for Jazmine, the news was centered on her statement and they played it over and over again and to the Sheik's surprise it had actually done a lot of positive to Khalid's campaign.
They had decided to go out together for the first time as a couple and he being with her saw the crowd welcoming them. The youth wanted to take pictures with them and Jazmine took the opportunity to visit the schools and hospitals, finding out what the people needed that they lacked and making a mental list of what was necessary.
It had done good for her and she wept at the conditions some people lived under.
"Jazmine!"
She heard her name while walking towards the car with Khalid.
"Jazmine!"
She traced the voice and found Jael. Jael hugged her.
"It's so good to see you" Jae; said, completely ignoring Khalid.
"I'll wait in the car" Khalid said.
"I need your help" Jazmine whispered.
"Anything" Jael said.
"There is a woman, an old woman, she used to sell Argan oil years ago, she said something about her son…."
"Rebecca, I know her"
"Can you take me to her?"
"But…." Jael began, her eyes shifting to the car.
"Don't worry about him, I'll meet you at the old jewish temple tonight, tell her I need to see her"
"I will" Jael said.
"Thank you" Jazmine replied with a smile and got into the car with khalid. Jael watched the car till it was no longer visible.

That night Jael was sure she had gotten away without being noticed but she walked out only to find Kay standing akimbo right in front of her as if he knew what she was up to.
"And where are you off to, looking over your back like you killed somebody"
"Shh, I need to go to the market, I already told Hali to get a driver, he should be waiting for me.
"I'm not about to allow you go out there all alone"
"Like you will take a bullet for me"
"I wont even take a bullet for myself, we shouldn’t keep the driver waiting"
Hurriedly, they both got to the car and the driver drove off.
"With all due respect ma'am, you are going to get us all killed"
"The Sheik knows better than to touch any of us now" Jazmine replied and Kay chuckled.
"After what I have seen, he very much can" Kay said.
"Take us to the old Jewish temple" Jazmine said.
When they got to the temple, Jael was already there, and beside her was Aamir.
"Thank God you made it" Jael hugged her and Kay.
"We better get to it" Jazmine walked in following Aamir who led the way and to their surprise it was not one old lady waiting for her inside.
"What is this?, I asked to see one person Jael, not the whole town"
"It was Aamir's idea"
"I told you….i told you all she was coming, the Lord has answered our prayers and brought our daughter back to us"
