Chapter 13 - "RUN"

It was very faint voice , Paul didn't heard it clearly and the window opened up some different and replied came back, it was more faint then before, this time Paul didn't even hear anything.

After exchanging passwords or whatever that whole process was, Roxy looked back at paul and signaled him to come, Paul's both hands in hoddie's pocket walked towards Roxy, while slightly looking right and left, feeling little nervous Roxy could see that, and his mouth curled up slightly in mocking.

Paul reached the window and saw the man inside, but couldn't clearly see his face because of darkness , his eyes also stole a glance of inside the window but he couldn't tell which is which, the man inside looked at Paul for a second examining his behavior and asked -

" How much? " His tone heavy.

Roxy looked at Paul with little anticipation , Paul without even looking at Roxy he could sense his thoughts, he thought for a second or two and replied -

"Five small cheats, by da way, what's da price here,? back in my place , dey go for 250."

Roxy was about to say something but the man inside said it first - " It's the same here " And went to grab the stuff.

Roxy looked at Paul with a little curious eyes, Paul didn't mind it and taking out the cash from back of his jean's pocket, when they both heard the voice of man inside loud and clear -

" Uncles coming "

Roxy's eyes widen a little from shock and surprise, he quickly said to Paul " Run "

And Roxy quickly turned and started running Paul quickly followed behind him, they both went to same directions as they have came, turning left and right in dark alley, Roxy mind was all blank and only had one thing in his mind , keep calling him "run" obviously he didn't want caught by cops, he already have experienced the nights behind the steel bars few times, and didn't want to increase those numbers at all.

Soon they reach close to beanth the overpass and slowed their pace, Paul besides Roxy took a right trun, seeing Paul taking right trun he was about to say something, but Paul said it first -

" See you in tomorrow. "

Roxy noded slightly, thinking that Paul must be feeling afraid.

Paul after taking that right trun, took left and right trun again and in few minutes he was in main streets, his pace little faster then usual, he hurriedly tried to cross the streets, when a black car stopped besides him, he didn't noticed maybe because he'd covered his head with hodd again, the driver in driving seat shouted -

" Wanna die punk..!! ? "

Paul slightly lifted his left hand to covered his face because car's headlights flashing straight at him , he slightly said - " Sorry... "

And his eyes looked inside the car, while crossing the streets, he could only see a man in back seat wearing round transparent glasses looking at him, both of their eyes met for a second and car went up ahead , Paul reached the other side of streets, and brushed the thoughts aside and walked towards his apartment.

Inside the black car, which just went past Paul, a man around his late 40's , with strong well- defined face, his short, neatly styled hair is a mix of gray and dark tones, giving him a mature look, his deep - set of eyes are showing the tiredness of work , slightly furrowed eyebrows and a trimmed beard that frames his face, his skin skin smooth yet naturally aged texture, wearing white shirt underneath black blazer and black fomal pants, air around him give the vibe of composed but also friendly, sitting on driving seat , he murmured slightly -

" That's why man lives are for short play. "

" You said something , Mr. Brown? " a voice called out to him from behind the seat all clear.

Mr. Brown shuddered slightly thinking he said it in his mind but it reached the man sitting in back seat, he composed himself and said calmly -

" Oh.. it's just nothing, i was wondering that current generation is act so carefree that, they don't even know death is knocking on their doorsteps. "

The man behind in passenger seat tapped his round glasses in the center with his middle finger and in a little amused tone -

" Ohh.. is that so..? You sometimes sure say some interesting things things Mr. Brown. "

Mr. Brown thought he had said some something wrong, with little apologetic tone he said - " No no young master, what I mean to... "

" Do not worry, I don't mind that all and also what you said it very true but not 100% . "

The man behind in passenger seat said , without even letting Mr. Brown finishes his sentence " and don't call me young master from now on, call me what you call my father."

" Yes sir "

Mr. Brown said also thinking of something and asked " What do mean by that Sir? not 100 ℅ ? "

Man in passenger seat replied calmly - " Just as it's sounds Mr. Brown " Not 100 ℅ " means, there's still some individuals in current generation who don't act freely, they will carry this generation, maybe like the guy who passed earlier or.. "

Mr. Brown clearly heard what the man said and replied honestly - " Yes sir... " Maybe he completed the last word in his mind.

Man in the passenger turned his head slightly to the left, and gaze out towards the streets, he could also see his slight reflection in the window, just few months back he had turned 19 , he has sharp , well - defined facial features with high - chickbones, a straight nose, and a strong jawline. His deep - set eyes are like dark abyss, empty and endless , partially hidden behind round transparent glasses, his slightly arched eyebrows give him air of mystery and calculating expression, while his smooth, pale skin enhances his enigmatic aura, with a faint shadow under his eyes hinting at sleepless nights spent in deep thought. His lips are thin pressed together in quite contemplation. His dark, slightly tousled hair falls naturally over his forehead, with a few strands brushing against his glasses, the air around him , feels chilly and unsettling for no reasons, he is wearing plain formal black shirt and pants, the black blazer behind him pressed against seat with his back, covering only his shoulders.

After thinking for a minute he called out to Mr. brown again , asking -

" By the way Mr. Brown, how's my old man lately, did he got any better in his health, and what did the doc's have to say about him ?".

With change of topic Mr. Brown felt little relief wash over him, he replied in casual tone - " Yeh.. Doctor have said, master is out danger and making progress slowly, but getting back to his old self was juss.... only gods can do that, anyway he'll be happy to see you Sir, it's almost two years now. "

The person sitting on back passenger sit smile faintly and said -

" Out of danger..? You say, but you know danger doesn't only come in from of illness... You've to careful with that old man Mr. Brown, who knows when your Master was killed by someone, like his own private security or maybe.... his own son?.. "

Person sitting on passenger sit didn't even finished his sentence, when Mr Brown pressed the breaks hurriedly in middle of a street, car stopped quickly, Mr. Brown thrown ahead slightly but he didn't care he quickly turned his head behind looking at man behind, the sudden chill and fear he felt could clearly written in his face, he gulped his salvia before saying -

" S.s.. Sir you clearly not meant any of this thing right " He gulped again " the last thing about... " He didn't even able finish his own words.

Person sitting on back , in a relax manner his back pressed against seat , his black endless abyss like eyes hiding behind, round transparent glasses looking at him , he said lightly his voice all clear -

" What you think... Mr... Brown ?"

Mr. Brown didn't said anything for three seconds, lots of thoughts clashing against each other inside his mind he said shuttering a little - " I.. I. thi.. "

But before Mr. Brown could finished his words, person sitting on passenger seat chuckled slightly and said -

" Cmon Mr. Brown you really fell for that? Didn't we always played this game when I was little , did you already forgot about that?"

"Oh.. " Only this word came out of Mr. Brown's mouth, he slowly turned his head to the front, his mind still processing that, what he heard was all just for some game.

Seeing that Mr. Brown expression hadn't change in a bit, the person in back passenger seat continued -

" You don't have to serious Mr. Brown, I won't do that, nah... I couldn't even dream of something doing like this, " his tone shifting little melancholic as he continued " He is the only I have left , brother was gone , mother was already went ahead... and he is the only one... even if, we won't talk much to each other, he is still my... my father, that... I care about. "

Mr. Brown nodded slightly inside his head , after listing to his words, the uneasiness from before vanishing slowly and relief washing over him, he lightly pressed the accelerater, and drove his way towards their destination.
