Shit...
Pardon my language but shit.
How did they found the bodies? The alley alone is pretty hard to find and yet they had found the bodies this fast?
I expected them to find the bodies but not THIS fast!
How did Hans even found out about this news? Are the people on a manhunt for us? Do they even know who killed them?
Do they even have a suspect?
This is not good Not good at all.
I know its self defense because i was trying to save 2 children from being raped but from what Hans and Greta told me about the police or laws here... they're corrupt.
Who knows what they would do to use if they found us, death could very well the least of my worries.
Stop it Jaune... you cannot be panicked now, you have 2 people that is counting on you.
I look at Hans and nodded to myself as i try to calm down the best that i can. "Hans, what else did they talked about?"
Hans look at me before he starts talking. "They talked about how they found the bodies and how they are currently working with the cops back there at khaleed to look for whoeverer did it."
Oum help me... i don't know what to do? The only plan that i could form is running away to the next settlement and get to Shade Academy as fast as i can!
Greta told me that khaleed is at the edge of the Red Cactus's territory, it is fair to say that the closer we get to Shade academy, the deeper we would be in the Red Cactus territory.
So the plan is simple, pack up, go out and try our best to go to shade.. which is easier than paper..
"Hans." I call out to Hans and he perked up. "Do they have any... clue who the suspect was? Cause depending on your answer its the different between walking to our next settlement or sprinting to our next settlement." I want to give both of them a smile but i can't, this is too serious for me to try and smile.
I wasn't kidding about that depend on the answer that Hans would give me, we could either sprint or walk normally... wait hold on, on second thought forget about sprinting, i would carry the both of them on my shoulders and run to our next destination.
Greta nodded and look at Hans. "Yeah Hans, please tell us that its good news? Cause i don't think i would be able to run from here to god knows where under the fucking sun.. please... i'm not a freak of nature like John."
Oh yeah, i forgot that they don't have Aura, carrying them would be the only option then.
"I guess i didn't explain it in more detail.. but can you blame me? I am exhausted and slightly panicked." Hans explained to Greta.
Slightly panicked... really? He is just slightly panicked? I am close to panic panic cause our life is on the line.... do they trust me to protect them that much?
If the other members of the Red Cactus Gang is just like those 2 men then it would be okay... but from what they told me about that gang and how brutal they are? I think the higher ranking members have their Aura unlocked or they could even be some Rogue hunters.
I know i'm strong for my age, but a Rogue Hunter that is leading an entire mafia gang? Yeah.. even Mordred would know that she is no match for whoever the Rogue Hunter is.
Hans then start to recount the story about how he came across this information. "So i was just about done buying the waters when i walk back to here i saw an alley and thought that it could be a shortcut to here, which luckily it is considering that i came here from it."
I nodded at him and Greta nodded as well before she ask him some questions. "And then? How do you exactly even get this info?"
"I was just about to talk about it, Greta." He told Greta before he starts talking again. "So when i was walking through the alleyway, i heard some voices. Me not wanting to get into troubles decided to hide between some crates by the wall when i heard their footsteps coming."
He then take a few sip of the water before he clear his throat and talk again. "When they were walking closer to me, i can hear them talking about how one of their members finding out about the bodies back at khaleed and how they are working with the cops there to find out who did it."
"And then they talked about how they can't wait to torture whoever fucked their brothers and wanted to... do their Namesake.." he look away at the last part.
Oum.. help me... this is bad.. so so bad...
Wait.. did they found out about us? Or have any clue about who could killed those 2 men as brutally as i had?
"Hans.. did they talked about any... clues or anything that could track back to us?" I asked him.
Hans look at me before he shakes his head. "No.. they didn't talk about any clues or trails but i think they would fine one after a few days working eith the fucking pigs."
Okay... a few days at least to get away as far as possible from khaleed and get to shade academy as fast as possible.
I can work with that... okay...
"Come on. Hans, greta. We'll be gone from this place by at least 10 minutes.. you guys need anything? Like a cloak to shield yourself from the sun or even your face?" I asked them as we prepare to go and continue on our journey.
Hans shake his head while Greta talked to me. "No, it would be more.. suspicious if we buy a cloak.. well not exactly suspicious but we don't want to stay her any longer.. and its notblike our looks are anything Unique, our colouring are pretty.. average to any Vacuon."
I nodded at her and we then starts walking unaware that the Red Cactus would be a problem for us in the near future.
