Nick was fully conscious while Abou and his minions went about jabbing him with tattoo and piercing needles. The sensations were dulled by whatever Master Abs had done to him. It was surreal like a nightmare.
Abdzaam yawned. An hour or two? What was a genie to do while he waits. He licked his lips as a couple curious teens entered the salon.
"Whoa when did they build this place?" one asked.
But that wasn't really a wish, and while Abs was all about stretching the rules, there were some he had to obey.
He sighed.
Bing.
Abs was pulled away back to Jeff's room. Somebody else had discovered the other Chronivac. Now this person might be guided to "wish" what Abdzaaam wanted.
