Ol'Reggie

As they drove past the town, 935 looked out the window, he looked at the houses they passed. As they passed the school he remembered the times he had there and Billy too. Even though he didn't believe what Lily said he honestly didn't care as much to question her any further.

Lily pulled over by the diner and they got down to eat. They ate silently while the moving truck with all their things went ahead of them.

Lily looked at him as he ate "Hey" she called out and he looked up at her "Cheer up okay?"

935 looked down "There was no Pig" 935 mumbled "I know when you lie Lily" he added.

Lily blinked and suddenly started to laugh, 935 looked at her confused "Look, truth is Sow's dead and-"

"Do the cops think you killed him?" 935 interjected.

"No" she said "they just came over to ask some questions" she added and continued eating.

935 nodded "Right, it must be very suspicious that the night after your Landlord died you are moving out" he replied with a blank look on his face.

Lily almost choked on her food when she heard what 935 said, she coughed and looked at him only to see him eating his food with no care in the world.

As they ate there heard whispers about Sow's death, "Poor Billy" Lily heard the waitress say "First his uncle, now his dad" the waitress added.

A man scoffed "Oh please, you talk as though them family are saints or somethin'" he snarled and everyone looked at him "What? Y'all wanna act as though they clean? For hell we know they may have deserved it." he claimed.

Lily and 935 listened quietly as they ate, he'd glance over at Lily who had a smile on her face as she enjoyed her food.

She looked up to him and said "Savour the food, this will be the last time we eat here okay?" she told him and continued eating.

"We all know what he did to people who owed him money, and what his family did to people who didn't give'em what they wanted" the man from earlier continued "In my opinion whoever did this acted a tad too late, he could've done it sooner" the man said and chugged down his cup of coffee "This town has already began to show signs of rotting thanks to them" he snarled and got up to leave.

No one had said anything to refute him, nor did anyone agreed. His speech only shut up the whispers in the diner.

The waitress walked over to Lily and 935's table to see 935 staring at the man as he walked out the diner, 935's attention was pulled back by the waitress when he heard her say "Oh don't mind Ol'Reggie honey" 935 turned to see the waitress looking at him with a smile, she placed two cup on the table and said "He's always going round spitting nonsense" she chuckled.

935 nodded and looked at Lily "He sounded like he has so much hate" 935 said and faced the waitress.

The waitress sighed and said "Can you blame him? Old Sow's father took everything from big Ol'Reggie's dad, left'em with nothing, the mother had to go around sleeping with people to get by and raise Reggie when he was still a kid, Old Sow grew up and well...things were just far from peachy" she said with a frown "No one knows how Old Sow did it, but Ol'Reggie's dad left a house under his name, somehow Old Sow obtained the house and kicked Ol'Reggie's mum out when he was away, Ol'Reggie came back home after months from the city, to find his mum dead by the house

Fury was an understatement that day" the waitress scoffed "Ol'Reggie ran wild, tried to kill Sow, luckily the cops brought him down before anything tragic happened" she ended with a sigh.

"Do you think Ol'Reggie killed Sow?" 935's question seemed to have freezed the whole diner, everywhere went silent as the all looked at the child who just asked if someone was a murderer like he was asking his mother if he could go outside and play under the rain.

The waitress' laughter broke the silence as she laughed widely, she had a hand on her stomach "Thats bull talk kid" she said with a laugh, the other's in the dinner resumed what they where doing "Now don't go around saying words like that okay?" she cautioned "Besides, i doubt Ol'Reggie would do something so stupid since he just got out of Prison a while ago" she added and walked away.

935 looked at Lily "One's a Prisoner, the other..." 935 took a sip of the hot chocolate the waitress brought for them " A glorified asshole" he smiled as he enjoyed the warm taste of the hot chocolate in his mouth. Lily looked at him and smiled

After they finished eating they got back into the car, "I never said you did it Lily" 935 said and looked at Lily "Just be careful, don't grab too much attention right?" he said with a smile.

Lily shocked but still smiled at him, "You know I think i'll miss the diner the most" she joked and he nodded, "Ready to fly?" she asked.

935 looked at her weirdly, "What do you mean?" he asked and she smiled as she drove off.

Lily drove to an airport in the next town. This was the first time 935 had seen and been on one. He looked around the placed as they walked past the checking and everything.

When they got in seated in the plane Lily placed a small box on his lap. 935 picked up the box and faced Lily, she took a picture of him as he faced her "What's this?" 935 asked.

"Why don't you open it and find out?" she told him "It's a christmas present from Peter" she added.

935 opened the box to see a case of contact lenses and a note. The note read

'Dear Kai

Merry Christmas, I treat it you are already on your way to the City. These lenses are especially for you, remember how you told me your tales as the green eyed person, well i made them so no one will call you that in the new place you are going to. I truly hope they work, Lily will show you how to put them on, under this card is my cellphone number in case you want to talk to me.

That's all I wish to say, have a safe trip.'

935 placed the note back in the box and picked up the contacts, "Oh, fancy stuff huh" Lily teased "Do you like them?" Lily asked, but his next words caught her off guard and left her utterly speechless.

935 scoffed "Does he think i'm blind?"

Lily blinked and paused for a few seconds "Sorry what?" she asked.

935 looked at her "Contacts are for visually impaired people are they not?"

"Ohhhhhh" Lily explained as she had a sense of understanding in what he said "No sweetheart not all the time" she said with a chuckle "Some people use it for fashion, I feel that's what Peter intended for you" she explained, and went on to tell him how some use it to see and some use it to change their eye colour, "And that's why yours is black"

935 nodded in understanding, they hear the pilot's voice over the plane speakers followed by the air hostess telling them to put on their seatbelts and the safety measures to be taken. Soon the plane takes off with them in the sky.

935 looks out the window, down at the ground as they pass "What happens if the plane falls from the sky and crashes?" He asked Lily.

"We all die" he heard Lily say and turned to see her resting comfortably on her seat with her eyes closed, "I don't know about you or the others, but i highly doubt i'd die" 935 replied and she chuckled.

Truth is, as he said unlike the others he was less likely to die due to who he was, but Lily didn't know that now did she.
