The Emerald House

4

I'd known Sebastian since childhood and we had been good friends since then.

When he called me, I was playing games on the sofa.

"Hey dude," the moment I answered the phone, Sebastian shouted on the other end of the line. "Why haven't you called me since you came back?"

I took the phone a bit away from my ear and explained, "I haven't had time."

"Fine," Sebastian didn't seem to want to blame me. "Come to me and I'll take you to an interesting place."

"Okay, I'll be right there." I hung up the phone and got changed.

Then I took a taxi to Lynch Motoring, a used car shop, but Sebastian was in a car repair shop nearby. The car repair shop and the used car shop were both owned by the Lynch family.

The car repair shop was on the roadside, with a spacious yard, which was quite clean.

When I approached Sebastian, he was burying his head in the hood of an SUV.

I walked over and patted him on the back.
