The suspicious people left...
"Boss who's that?"
One of the kid asked, the boss wipe his eye before answering
"They're good people but don't meet them..okay"
"okay"
The boss smiled...
"You all eat first I'll join you later"
He opened the door..leaving us,
"....maybe the boss is sick"
Arwin said, we all looked at each other before eating the food set in the table...
We finished eating, the boss isn't back yet...
I'm worried, I look around and when I saw Arwin looking at me
He smiled and said
"Don't worry boss is just not feeling well"
"I know"
I replied
We arranged the table and put it in the side...we put one chair and a cover in the middle...hoping that our boss would eat it...
The morning came...
I felt my back being crush...maybe because of the cold floor...
"mmmm!"
I stretched my arm and immediately looked at the table
I couldn't help but smile, when the cover was opened and there's no food left...
Red was peacefully sleeping next to me
"Hey red wake up, its morning already"
I whispered to him, his eyes immediately opened
"Did the boss ate?"
He asked...
"Yeah he did!"
"..."
We ready ourselves ...
Carried some huge bag behind us...
"Let's go"
Red said to me, I nod and followed him out of the house...
In the middle of the medieval city is a place full of shop and the stalls there, isn't that heavy guarded so it's a perfect place to steal...
It's full of people, at first I was scared of this place...
I encountered some huge creatures and weird ones this place is not just for humans...
Me and red looked at the two line of stalls and immediately pointed our fingers at one of them
"Red, I'll go in this path"
"Okay, I'll go here"
With that we separate...
At first I always go with red as I was scared of this place but the more I go here, I realised
If we separate well get more food...
I looked at the shopkeeper of the first stall i visited...
He's chatting with a group of people in armor...he seems busy
I grabbed six apples from his stall which he didn't seem to notice...
I slid it inside my bag and ran toward the next stall
The next one is looking at his product so I didn't dare to steal at his...
I continued walking,
Grab some fruits and vegetables when no one is looking...
When I get caught I'll run to the alley where the trash is being place...
They don't dare to come here...maybe the smell is too stimulating for them
Minutes after, I get out of the alley and continue grabbing the fruits of the busy vendors, who don't look at their product at all...
I grab a single lemon from one of the vendors when I heard someone behind me
"Kid what your doing is bad, you know"
Hearing the voice the man watching the stall look at me
With a lemon at my hand he already know what's going on
"You-
"No, let's not ruin the good mood of this place..here's the payment for the lemon"
The person behind me throw a gem at the shopkeeper
"....."
With the stone at his hand..he looked at me before going back to read his newspaper...
"Thank you"
I said and walk away without seeing the man's face...
Experiencing something like that and my bag being full...I walk inside the alley and didn't dare to rob another store
For this day at least...
"Kid, its rude to say thank you while looking at the ground, can you say it one more time looking at me this time"
I was startled but remembered the one who helped me earlier
He's not human...
He looks like a human...but his a cyclops...he's taller than me as a adult would...
He's wearing a strange suit meaning he isn't from this place
"Kid?"
Hearing his voice...I stared down and said
"Thank you"
That should be enough right...
"Look at me"
I complied and look at his single eye... he's bald,
"Now say thank you"
"Thank you"
"See it isn't that hard"
He looked at his watch and continued
"Hmmm, what are you to Wite?"
He asked...Wite?, I remember someone going in our house yesterday saying something about wite...but why
"What are you gonna do to wite?"
I asked...he looked at me before breaking eye contact he said
"I don't need him, he's dead, I'm asking what are you to him, what's your relationship with him, is he your friend is he your brother..I need to know"
Dead...
"He isn't dead, he's just out cause of his job"
Wite isn't gonna die that easily, he isn't gonna die
The man sighed and asked me
"Do you know what his job is?"
"...no"
Wite didn't tell anyone what his job is, he will just go out for seven days and when he come back and we asked him why did he go
Its because of my job is always his answer, even if he asked him what his job is the boss would interrupt the conversation
"....Kid do you wanna see the guy"
He said I immediately said yes
"Yes, I wanna see wite"
If the boss is like our father that we idolise to be when we grow up, wite is like a mother that would always put as first before himself...
So it's impossible for him to die, he won't die
I followed him...maybe he's saying all this just to kidnapped me, but I want to see wite...
Boss is acting weird...so maybe something did happened to wite
In the guardian station...
In one of the floor is a wooden casket...
"You can see him there"
The cyclops said
I saw wite's picture above the casket...
Only three people was inside the room
they are all crying...
I take a deep breath and peek inside the coffin
"ha"
I felt relieved to what I saw
Only wite's belonging was inside I didn't see his dead body
He's still alive
I kneel to the ground..I don't know what I would do if I did see him inside the coffin
