Bottle of Stories (50)

Jayson bought Rey and Annie at the parking lot. They are pretty far from the entrance of the mall because of running that happened.

The man wearing a head stopped at the lady wearing a dress that is obvious that she waited in that place from the start.

"Help us." She released her needle from her bracelet. There is a thread connected on the needle and Rey, Annie and Jayson can't see it from their position.

Jayson holds the small thing in his pocket. The thing he used a while ago when he fought the gun holder. He wants to be ready for possible surprise attack because he felt that the two persons in front are not ordinary people.

"One," said the lady who sews even there's no cloth. "Two, th..." her words were stuck on her throat when she saw a two people not far off the road. "Let's leave."

The two mounted the motorcycle and the man drove it away.

Justine and Dan arrived.

"Who are you chasing?" asked Justine.

"Do you know that?" Dan added.

"Chasing?" Annie asked with a confused look on her face.

"We're just following Jayson. Right?" Rey said waiting for a response from Jayson.

Jayson didn't answer. Neither move on his standing point.

"Jayson?" Rey tapped Jayson's shoulder.

He turned his head and looked at him. "Where are they?" asked Jayson.

"Who?" asked Rey.

Jayson was angry because he didn't answer his question. "Are you an idiot or are you doing it on a purpose?"

"Who is it?" he repeated.

"He's the one who gave the paper to Annie!" shouted Jayson.

"What? No one gave this to me! It's..."

"Annie! Stop," Rey interrupted.

Annie covered her mouth using her hands.

That's when Cy arrived and she immediately caught the attention of Justine. "I have something to tell you," she said.

"What's your problem?" asked Rey. He's not looking for an answer or anything. He just wanted revenge for how Jayson acted.

Jayson took a deep breath. He prevented his emotion from going out. He turned his back because he's really annoyed about how Rey is behaving. He repeated what he did previously to know where the man went. But he didn't felt the same existence who have two kinds of strength. "Tsk, he escaped."

"Is it the one who's riding a motorcycle?" Rey calmly asked.

"Why are you pretending you don't know anything? You are ones who wanted to talk to the guy," he answered angrily.

"How can we understand if you're always angry?" Rey shouted.

Jayson pushed Rey. I'm helping and you have the guts to be mad about it?

Rey hit the floor hard.

Annie and Dan helped Rey to get up.

"Heh, if you want to chase them then go ahead. You're this guy who's still standing even they are leaving," Rey teased.

"That's enough!" said Dan.

Justine took the paper from Annie and rip it into pieces. "Let's go. Time will be wasted if we don't move on."

"Here are the things you sent." The girl put down the bags of Rey, Annie, and Jayson.

"You can leave now," said Justine and the girl followed it.

They are the only customers inside the fast-food chain. Dan is buying at the cashier. Rey, Annie, and Jayson are sitting at the long chair that is facing Cy and Justine. They are divided by the table where the bags are placed.

Rey pulled the bag at the corner. Their eyes met but Jayson is the first one who looked away.

Annie is speechless because she didn't know how she can fix their issues.

"Ahm... I want to say sorry. From what happened to you." Cy joined her palms as if she was praying. "Just don't tell us to the police."

"No-no." Rey shook his head.

"They might hear you," Justine whispered.

"Bribe more," Cy sarcastically whispered back.

"We're fine, we just really need the cap," Rey explained.

"Oh, I forgot to ask Zhein. Why did you not tell?" asked Cy.

Rey laughed while scratching his head. Many things happened.

"Wait." Cy texted George.

"On the skirt," said Cy like she's talking to herself. "At home." She stood up because she thought that she needs to get it immediately. In this way, she can compensate the people who got involved in the mess she got into.

"Where are you going?" asked Dan when he saw Cy walking away.

Cy stopped. "I'll leave for a minute," she said before running away. "I shall return!"

"She'll not come back to you," said Justine.

"Huh?" Dan was confused with Justine's words. Bitter. What the f... he thought.
