"By the way is it just me or are food joints really expensive nowadays"
Well of course it has. Your government has an idea of what's coming. There's not going to be any food production for a very long time. This is their best chance of stocking as much as they possibly could and the best way to do it covertly was raising the price. Can't say if those guys are outright ruthless or just playing their cards right.
Wait, maybe I should also install a garden in my house so that way, I can get fresh vegetables whenever I want.
"Well either way, thanks for your help today. I'm meeting a friend of mine now so you can tell my aunt if she asks"
As I thought… The most difficult resource I'll find hard to obtain is firearm. Even if I have the money it's almost impossible to find a trusted dealer in a country that's banned firearms… Amanda on the other hand happens to be dating a gang member, that's pretty much involved in anything illegal.
"No need I can still escort you"
It's basically the main reason I agreed to all this in the first place
"You don't have to worry about that, I'm not a child that needs a guardian around me the whole day, you've done enough so you can go now"
"But what kind of a person would I be if I let you wander off on your own. Mrs Wilson told me to show you around for the day. Leaving you off in the middle of the street doesn't seem like the words she would cope with… you'd understand my dilemma won't you"
She's hesitant, of course she is afterall if my guess is not wrong the friend she's talking about is her new boyfriend.
"Aren't you just finding an excuse to spend more time with me"
"I am not"
"You sure about that"
"Yeah"
"Sigh, aunt sure is a worryrat. Fine you can follow me but my friend tends to be a little bit chaotic sometimes. So don't go blabbering all about that got it"
Since she's keeping him a secret for obvious reasons. She's probably not sure if she can trust me to do the same. But don't worry for once we're on the same page
"I love chaotic guys, I consider myself to be kind of a loose nail too"
It's not like she has a choice, now that she's revealed her 'friend' she wants to hang out with. If she doesn't go it will make it obvious she's hiding something.
"Keep up already"
Easy for you to say that you're not the one carrying this boulder.
"I would be faster if you at least carried one of your bags"
"Hmph… you're the one who insisted on following me when I already excused you. So stop complaining and move already"
What's the deal with these bags? It's like she just stuffed them with nothing but rocks….
Hmm, it feels like we just walked into the ghost part of town. Every wall around here is either trashed or straight up vandalized. It looks pretty intimidating for anyone to step into including me. I gotta hand it to her. She's got some guts walking casually in here.
"If you aren't going to do this much you can just leave"
Man I'm beginning to wonder who's babysitting here
"I'll try"
Knock! Knock! Knock!
If this is meant to be the house, I have to applaud the design. It's very, what's the word… inspirational I guess.
"Hey, you were thinking something right now, weren't you"
"What gave you that Idea?"
"Your eyes loosened more than normal, your brows became more arched, your lip dropped by half an inch. This's obviously a dead giveaway of what's going on through your mind"
I have to at least give her credit for noticing all that details in a blink. She does understand people, I can already picture where she got that skill from.
"Hold up... Babe I didn't expect you to be back so soon"
So this is the guy. Man, I seriously can't understand girls and their tastes nowadays. Well he does look older so at least that meets her criteria.
"I know I wanted to surprise you"
"If that's the case I'll be sure to surprise you a lot inside"
"Are you sure you can"
W-What the heck!. This is getting way to inappropriate
"Ahem!"
"Mhm, who's this?"
Poor Mrs Wilson. Your niece is anything from pristine as we thought her to be.
"He's an escort my aunt sent to chaperone. You can ignore him. He was just about to leave"
I don't know why but that actually stung… Well no matter what, I only need what I came for.
"Sulong"
"Eh!?"
"Uhm, is something wrong. What's going on with you both, why do you keep staring at each other… I'm staying with stephan for today so you can go Leo"
"Er, babe can you wait in for a bit. I need to chat with your chaperone for a bit"
"Sigh, Alright at least be quick about it. You know I hate being kept waiting"
"I'll be quick"
"I'm counting on that"
Looks like I got his attention.
"...Now I've been getting a lot of threats lately and it's really starting to piss me off"
What's wrong with this guy? His face went full killer mode the moment she left.
"So I'll ask you this once. Where did you learn that word from"
