I've been going about my day like I planned out but it's not as pleasurable as I thought… I thought I was just paranoid but now I'm pretty certain I'm being followed. Seems like three of them possibly more whatever they want is definitely not with good motives.
"They don't seem be too friendly"
I'll keep my pace simple as soon as I reach the street corner. I'll make a run for it.
"Almost there now"
Full throttle, what kind of unwanted attention have I gotten into now? What the!... This guy's in full on chase mode.
"Now they are really, really bad news. What the hell do they want with me!?"
There's a plaza ahead, good. I'll just have to lose them in the crowd.
"Sorry… pardon me… coming through"
Uh, they are even following me in, with their eyes locked on me it's simply impossible to speed away, I'll have to get them off my tail somehow. Both the escalator and elevator are crowded.
"Uhm!..."
Think, think, think.
"Bake sale try free samples"
That's it!
"Are they gone"
"Yeah"
"Thank you for your help"
It seriously worked! I just blurted out I'm going to lose the contest if those guys spot me and jumped under their table.
"No problem kid, hope you win"
I'm kind of bothered how easy that actually managed to work out. They seem to genuinely believe I was being chased because of a game.
"I better head back home, before they come back"
I don't know what their aim is with me. Whoever they may be, let's just hope I never run into them again.
"Thanks for the lift"
I had to take a cab straight back to ensure I wasn't being tailed. It seems that was the best call… I can't tell why I have people following me but if I'm to guess the only reason I could be targeted would be for money. But that shouldn't make sense while I may be spending a few.
I shouldn't have spent so much that will make me stand out among the wealthy people in the city. If I'm to say myself I'm still quite moderate compared to a lot. Yet I've already drawn the eyes of someone to specifically target me… could it be the Cross world group.
Guess it might not have been the right move to casually call out their supposedly secret leader.
"Have a nice stay"
I'll figure out later whether that's actually the case but for now I should be safe in the hotel at least until I can confirm my suspicion if they are seriously after me.
"Yeah, thanks"
Wait, has the concierge always been that tall. Something doesn't-
Whack!
Add up…
