None Title

Piranha: Maybe.

Piranha: Are we no longer friends or are you now on Squirrel's side?

Guffy: I think you already know, I'm not on either side, I prefer to be free of either side.

I understand Guffy's position and she is certainly the smartest one.

You can be free to walk wherever you want and be literally absolved of any cause; Not belonging to something specific is an advantage in itself.

But it's only good for connects like Guffy.

Piranha: By the way, who is this guy here?

Guffy: This is Mikael and he is a childhood friend.

Piranha: Mikael... wait, are you that Mikael who studies with my sister?

Mikael: Are you talking about Kina?

Mikael: Yes, we are friends and I study with her.

He looked momentarily surprised but then smiled when he looked at me closely.

Piranha: She's told me a lot about you and she seems happy with it. I hope you don't do anything bad to her, or else I'll be the one to do your funeral if she gives me even one complaint.

This will be more problematic than I thought...

Piranha: Speaking of that... she told me that you're a nice guy, but if you're here, I don't think that's entirely true. What happened to that?

Finally, he got straight to the point, in a nutshell, the real topic of conversation.

Why else would a guy like this come to so casually greet inferior people who have recently entered?

This action dispels my doubts: he is indeed interested in Squirrel's movements and what is happening outside.

It seems impossible for a greedy piranha to go hunting between steel bars...

Piranha: It seems like it was for drug trafficking, is that true?

Guffy: That's true.

Piranha: I heard somewhere that that one is from Squirrel, what else do you know about that?

After having said that, Guffy did not respond immediately, but rather thought about it for several seconds.

Or maybe minutes, but he took the time when he realized he was in a dangerous trap.

I guess this is my chance.

Mikael: If you want to hear something interesting, wait for us today at the Northeast watchtower at 17:00.

Guffy: Hey... What are you up to?

Mikael: Don't worry about that, I know what I'm doing.

You don't have to look at him to know that he is completely baffled by what is happening.

Piranha: What are you trying to get at with that?

Mikael: I'm sorry, but you have to wait there if you want to know what you're looking for.

After hearing that, I expected a better reaction from him, or perhaps an answer, but he did nothing but look at me in silence with a murderous impulse while he directed his hand to his waist.

Guffy: Please brother, he's not a connected and he doesn't know what he's doing either!

Guffy intervenes as he analyzes us both, removing his hand from her waist.

Piranha: Don't be too smart and want to waste time.

Piranha: But that's fine, I will go to that place but accompanied in case it turns out to be a trap, and if it is one, I hope it is not necessary to let you know what the consequences will be.

Mikael: I will not be someone with any weight in his word or a superior to give my prestige at stake, but I maintain my seriousness when I say something.

Our gazes were strong and neither of us gave up on the tension of the moment.

But finally he is the first to drop the topic and continue.

Piranha: I hope you let me know what...

At that moment he stops when he notices that someone was coming in our direction.

A completely unexpected visit and the product of a supposed coincidence, whether intentional or not, it is true that he did not hesitate to approach.

After a mediocre sigh, Piranha looks at Guffy and me as if he wanted to say with his eyes "shut up and don't say anything unnecessary."

When we realize that, we just look away.

Carón: Am I interrupting you?

Piranha: Yes, you can leave without asking.

Carón: I understand, if that's the case...

Saying that, Carón sits next to Piranha and right in front of us.

The four-seat table was already full, and the tension was indescribable.

The people around us looked at the four of us with visible fear and completely alert, as if they were waiting for the battle to begin to start running for their lives.

It seems that my peaceful lunch ended before it began...

Carón: You are as easy to anticipate as always, brother.

Piranha: Whatever I do, they don't care anymore, isn't that so?

Carón: You are not the only one who has a wide network of contacts, from what I learned that you have interrogated almost everyone involved in the Ardilla trafficking incident; except these two children.

Seeing it like this, it's not difficult to know that you would find it here.

Piranha: I do what I want to do.

Carón: Only while you are in here, but you will never be able to say that again once you are outside.

Piranha: Just because someone like you tells me that doesn't mean it's true, you piece of shit.

Both opponents exchanged sharp glances.

The reason that the shooting does not start at any moment when there are two completely opposite sides sitting at a table is due to a miraculous and divine work that escapes our understanding.

Piranha: I've talked to you enough, I'd better go.

When he gets up, he leaves and without further ado, the three of us are left here at the table.

Carón looked at us with his natural stiff and serious face, but he didn't say a word and left after a few minutes had passed.

Both Guffy and I sighed after so much tension for just a moment of chatting that was supposed to be lunch.

And if it's just one, I wouldn't want to imagine living situations similar to these every day.

I miss living with people my age and in a school...
