“I don’t think continuing this “smuggler” route will be a good thing to us.” Convince Rowan.

“Couldn’t agree more... we don’t know exactly about this route and how to get more clue about it. Even by joining Sylvester’s crews, it might not give us the way as he told us that they didn’t do it anymore.”

“... and someone has warned me not to be related with nightclub business here.”

"I know." Rowan pauses a little and he looks burdened by something.

"I'm sorry because of me, you might celebrate your birthday on the run." Said Rowan. Suddenly I remember that in a few days, it is my birthday. I will become 16.

"Don't worry, I don't mind." Said me.

“Okay, let us go back to the main street and move out from another exit gate tonight, the sooner is better.” Suggest Rowan.

Rowan and I left that tavern right away. While they’re finally outside the tavern, just some steps away from the entrance door, I collide with one tall man. This man seems to collide with me purposely.

Bump!

There is a tattoo of a snake on this tall guy’s chest.

“Eh, I think I’ve seen this tattoo....” said myself in my mind.

“See you, again!” Said this slim tall guy.

I suddenly remember about it, it’s one of Jack’s pursuers, the one with face cover.

“Run! Rowan, he is Our pursuer.”

It happens so fast. In short, Rowan and I tried to escape the slim guy. He attacked me with his pocket knife, I evade it successfully. They moved away from the tavern to some empty street. Rowan hold up the pursuer’s hand and they were fighting each other. Accidentally, the knife stabbed the pursuer’s body and it bleeds a lot. The pursuer ends up dead, Rowan's hand is covered with blood.

“DAMN! What a bit of bad luck to bump him here.” Said Rowan in frustration.

“ It isn’t good, we should try to hide the body, it will be big trouble if any official saw it and try to figure who killed this man,” said me.

While Rowan tried to hide the dead body by moving it to the corner, someone in a black cloak witness it.

“This isn’t like what you think it is.... “ assure us.

The mysterious guy then runs away. I tried to catch him. The mysterious guy is pretty agile, Rowan has cornered him several times, yet he is successfully finding another way out from both me and Rowan’s pursue.

“Who is he?”

“ Probably one of Jack’s guys? Or it can be a passerby...whatever it is, we must catch him.” Rowan said.

“If the mysterious guy is one of Jack’s, he could be running away to ask for backup, if not, he could report us to an official as a murder case and it will blow up.”

Finally, Rowan catches up to him. Rowan pulls the mysterious guy’s cloak and slams him to the ground, immobilizing him.

“Please don’t revolt! I don’t want to hurt you.” Said Rowan.

The mysterious guy is still trying to rebel. I end up helping Rowan to hold him steady, when suddenly I felt a lean of fat in my palm, like a mountain of fat. The mysterious guy then screams in high pitched and slapped Ilios’s cheek.

“Pervert!”

The sounds look like teenage boys who haven’t got their puberty. At that moment, I realize that the mysterious guy isn’t a guy.... it could be the girl that people have been searching for all long. The rumored one, who Mr. Sylvester is looking for.
