“Mr. Diarem would you like me to drive you to the school?” asked Elizabeth
“Maybe next time. Today I need to buy some school materials.” Said Diarem while he was putting on his shoes.
“At least take this umbrella with you. I don’t want you getting wet again.” Said Elizabeth while giving an umbrella to Diarem.
“Ok, I will. Thank you.” Diarem took the umbrella and left.
It was a very cold November compared to the one from last year. Yet there was no snow. Diarem looked at the address on the note. “Cliff street 87” is the address of the shop but Diarem read it wrong and he stood at Cliff street 97. He looked around but he didn’t see any shops on that street. He looked again and noticed that he read it wrong. The shop that he was supposed to go to was on the other side. He saw an alley between two houses that probably lead to the street with this shop.
When he walked into the alley he saw 3 men wearing red suits in the middle of the alley by the wall. He decided that he will just pass them. They looked like some businessmen taking a smoke break. But looks can be deceiving.
Behind Diarem appeared a tall, well-built blond man with a white shirt and black vest. His right arm was in bandages. When 3 men saw a blond guy they immodestly blocked the path. They didn’t notice Diarem.
“Could you let me through?” asked slightly hesitant Diarem.
One man stepped aside, giving him a clear path. When Diarem was passing the 3 men, one of them shouted at a man with a black vest.
“You got lost or something?! It's red hats territory!”
“I'm not lost... I'll get lost if you don't let me through. So why don't you move aside!?” Said a man in a black vest and threw a fireball at them. One of them blocked it with his fire magic. Another man grabbed Diarem and took him as a hostage.
“You better stop or you will harm a kid.” Said the man and put Diarem in front of him as a shield.
“As if I care. I don't even know this kid...” Said the man in a black vest.
“WHAT?! But I'm still a living person!” shouted surprised Diarem and started wiggling to escape.
"So what about it?"
The man in black pulled out a revolver and pointed it at the kid. Diarem closed his eyes expecting the worst. The man fired 3 bullets while directly pointing at him. In mid-air, bullets changed route and hit two red hats in the head and one of them in the leg. Diarem got free.
“Runaway till you can, kid.” Said the man in black still pointing the gun his way. Diarem immediately started running away. He was so scared that he passed the shop where he was supposed to pick up materials for school.
“Oh yeah! Materials! I need to take them fast! I don't want to face that scary guy again!” Diarem turned and ran toward a shop wherein a hurry he picked up and paid for the materials.
The whole day in school and at home, he was wondering why they grabbed him and who was that “Blondie with a black vest.”
"Speak up... What is your boss planning?" Asked the blond man as he pointed a revolver at the only one left of red hats.
