Fatima's brother ran out through the gates of the court so fast, there was nothing stopping him from rushing over to the bookshop just opposite the Magistrates Court. His mother eventually caught up with the little ten year old and joined him inside the shop.

  Meanwhile, still hanging behind, Fatima and I slowly followed them, chatting as we approached the large metal gates in front.

  'Yusuf definitely seems excited to be out,' I said looking over at Fatima.

  She grinned with a sense of relief.

  'Yeah, me too,' she replied. 'This whole thing has been too much to deal with, I swear.'

  'Indeed,' I nodded. 'But at least it's over now and you can all get on with things – provided he learns from his mistakes about mixing with the wrong people.'

  Fatima gave out a light chuckle.

  'Mhmm. Oh don't worry, he won't anymore. I've warned him.'

  I giggled just as Fatima expelled a large breath of exhaustion.

  She hadn't been sleeping very well on the upcoming days of the court hearing, which I couldn't blame her for.

  The whole situation involving Fatima's ten year old little brother, Yusuf, mixing with the wrong type of group and getting caught trespassing in a house that was reported to have been broken into had turned out to be a complete mix up.

  In conclusion, Yusuf was never actually involved with the group during the robbery but he was however present during the trespassing. Nevertheless the court issued a warning and dismissed the case, much to Fatima and her family's relief.

  The ordeal hadn't been easy on Fatima or her mother, Soukaina, but at least now they could both switch off from it knowing everything has been resolved.

  I gave her a reassuring smile as I discretely rubbed her hand with my index finger.

  'Thanks,' she whispered back.

  'I'm just glad you're feeling alright now... I was worried about you.'

  Fatima blushed and looked aside for a moment. She turned back to me with joy in her eyes.

  'I know... I know how much you worried about us, and thanks. But I knew it wasn't going to turn out bad, and now I can take my mind off everything and relax again.'

  'Good,' I said. 'Well, I'll be here to help with the relaxing,' I added with a cheeky smirk.

  Fatima smirked back as I gave her a little wink of my eye.

  When we caught up with Soukaina and Yusuf they were both stood outside the bookshop.

  Yusuf was holding a book in his hands that his mother had clearly just bought him. The blue cover portraying a large white envelope floating above a sea of microscopic people very quickly gave away she had bought him a 'Where's Waldo' book.

  Classic taste – I smiled to myself. 

  Soukaina walked up to us.

  'Fatima, we are going home now,' she said in Arabic. 'Are you staying out with Kyle?'
