Me : I found it outside my door.
Hooded Figure: What! when?
Me: This Morning.
The Hooded Figure walks a little closer to the bag. He steps out of the shadows just enough onto the light for us to observe slight details of the figure. Some Mala’s hang from the neck. There seems to be some kind of weapon it hides behind in the shadows that it holds.
Hooded Figure : DId you open it?
Me: No, a...
I slide the bag across the table. The hooded figure peers inside. “Where the hell did you find this?” he asks Flatley. I catch a hint of something strange in his voice. Maybe it's frustration, but I choose to believe it’s just surprise. After all, I’m not usually the one to find anything, so his shock is understandable.
I grin widely and lean back in my chair, ready to bask in the praise I’m sure...
I slide the bag across the table, the hooded figure opposite me peering inside.
“Where the hell did you find this?!” he whispers in surprise.
I shrug knowingly and cock my head.
“Places. Pay up,” I say, gesturing with my hand for the money.
“Yeah, yeah,” he mutters, fumbling in his worn coat pockets for bills.
He pulls out a wad of cash that looks like more than enough, but I’m not so st...
Smiling she leaned back in the chair, “what are you willing to pay for it?” The hooded figure reached for the bag, quickly she swiped it back.
“300 Grelani,” the hooded figure bargained. Cocking her head to the side,” that’s a bit cheap I could get double that across the border.”
“That’s all I have to offer.”
“There’s things beside money you can offer.” She watched the confusion cross his face....
I chuckled. “Let's just say… a birdy gave me a clue. Or three.” I rolled my eyes and simply walked away. I slipped my wooden lamb mask on. I may be 12, but in Agraba, you do anything it takes to live. My name is Lei. But some people call me Little Lamb or Lambchop. You don’t show your face unless you are asking for trouble, especially if you are wanted somewhere else in Harelte. Even Kids. Agraba ...
“Where the hell did you get this?” He says as his shot glass falls off the table. One of many shots I believe. He holds the bag a respectable distance away. The way he holds it makes me think it might try to bite him. “In the old Alvala ruins in a chest.” I say. “Ahh” is all he says.”Why were you there? And who even are you?” He asks. “Belavora, one of the Queens renowned privateers.”. “Really? We...
‘Where the hell did you find this?!’
‘Where else?’
The figure dripped in disbelief, stunned out of speech. ‘Why so shocked Julliard if you sent me to retrieve the pomegranate in the first place?’
‘Styx. You crossed Styx.’ I shrug to complete the show, and Julliard breaks out into hysterics.
‘You must be obtuse if you think I would believe that you stole this from hades himself!’
Her hood has sl...
“Holy shit, Bri, how did you find th—!?”
“_Shhhh!” _Brianna scolded. “If Mr. Jay finds out, we’ll be dead!”
The hooded figure looked down and stared into the backpack once more. He looked as though he wanted to take what was contained inside and run. That would be a foolish move. There are a lot of people busying the stretching halls at this very moment, and if they saw, the two would no doubt g...
“Inside Venus enterprise” I say along with “Exactly where you told me it wouldn’t be”
It was hard to make out his face behind his mask, but that little lying scum was probably scared
“They said they moved it, you can’t blame this on me”
“But that’s exactly who I am blaming this on”
He seemed liked he was scared, fidgeting his hands under the table.
“You lied Tommy” and at that, I shot him so he ...
“Where the hell did you find this!” The hooded figure to the left whispered aggressively. It was not a good idea to meet in a diner, even if it was midnight with no one around.
“Is this not what you wanted?” I smiled smugly. I tapped my food impulsively and impatiently, I had another place, a more important place to be right now.
“No,” the second hooded figure chuckled, “I think this is...
