Two armed guards frisked Amir head to toe and took him to a room. Waiting in the room alone, Amir thought a lot. He had preoccupied himself with anything to make him calm. Three Talibas came in and the tall Talib in white told Amir that how they massacred the Hazara. Sohrab was taken into the room, with bells strapped around his anklets. He was controlled by the Pashtu music and danced to it when the guards played the music. The Talib in white recognized Amir even in his fake beard. Stunned and shocked, Amir knew that the Talib in white was Assef. Assef claimed that their going door-to-door massacre was ethnic cleansing. Amir said he was willing to pay Assef for taking Sohrab back. Assef refused, saying money was not he wanted. And he promised that if Amir could win him, he could leave away with Sohrab.
