Chapter 12 - Boss, Give me a Slushy

As I was about to open the door, whispers came from behind the bedroom door.

"?"

What the heck?

I grab the door handle and count from one to three.

'1'

'2'

'3'

*open* *Ah!* *Ah!

Opening the door suddenly, what I saw outside was the twin Saif and Sinan laying on the floor, trying to see what I'm doing inside the room from the gap between the door and the ground.

D*mn.

I was worried that they saw me grabbing the package from under the bed. A good hiding spot got to waste.

'At least they can't see what's inside the package. However, did they see me putting Father's gun in the drawer?'

"Run!"

"Ah! Let go."

Before they could run away, I caught them by the ear.

"What were you two doing?"

I asked with a cold voice while twisting their ears.

"Nothing! Sinan dropped a coin by accident."

"Yes! Yes! Where is my coin? Did you take it? Give it back!"

What the heck! they are getting more outrageous.

*grip* *grip*

"Ah! Stop! My Ear!"

"Last time! Won't do it again! Let go!"

There is no time to discipline the two monkeys, let's talk about it later.

Before I let go of their ears. I looked at them with cold eyes and warned them as seriously as I could.

"This is the Last time I see you peeping like that. If there is next time, I will beat the hell out of you two. This time for real!"

"Yes! Yes!"

"My ear!"

I'm sure they don't give a s*it about my warning, they only want to getaway.

Letting go of their ears, they harrowed away while cursing in a low voice.

" ** Jobless"

" f** a**hole"

I shook my head. There is no use, let's just beat them for real the next time.

Thinking for a moment, I closed the bedroom door, then took a key from my pocket and locked the door.

*click* *click*

Make sure the door lock is turned twice. can't take any chances with the two brats. What if they go in when I am away and start playing around?

Time to go.

I take my shoes from the shoe rack and put them on. Checking one more time to see if I have missed anything.

I Turned and yelled toward the inside of the house and yelled.

"I'm Going out. Call me if you need anything."

"Laith, bring me some sweets when you come back!"

"Okay!"

"You still haven't gone yet!? Go quickly!"

-.-"

"Fine!"

Grabbing the car keys, I opened the front door intending to go out.

When the front door is opened, a gush of hot wind came rushing in.

"What a *ucking heat!"

I want to go back already. Although inside the house is also hot, but not to this degree.

Grambling as I go down the stairs.

The walls in the corridors are full chicken sketches. I mean kids' drawings. Mines are also on the wall.

At first, the adults would scold us whenever we drew something. However, after painting the walls twice, they gave up and the walls became the children's drawing notebook.

"Laith! How are you buddy?"

A shout came as soon as I passed by a door on the first floor, pulling me out of my thoughts and causing me to shudder.

"Mr. George. Good afternoon. I'm good. How is your health?"

I replied while standing in attention, Just like a soldier.

Mr. George is our good neighbor, an old man in his 60s. However, he didn't have a single white hair, it's all black, just like a young man.

Even his body didn't look weak but like that of a bodybuilder.

He is a retired Military officer. Don't ask me what Rank he had before retirement, all I know is that his Military Rank was way up there.

When we were kids, he used to organize Boy Scout [camps] for the children in the neighborhood.

It was more of a junior military camp. So every kid in the neighborhood has a deep fear and respect for him at the same time.

*thud* *thud*

"Hahaha! My health is fine, look at these muscles!"

He patted me on my shoulder while laughing. I felt like my shoulder was about to get dislocated.

Then he flexed his arm muscles to prove his point.

"But, look at you. You gained so much weight. Tsk! Tsk! You used to have Some good Gains, but now they are gone. Come with me, I'm going to the gym. Let's Get those Gains Back! "

*sweat* *sweat*

*uck! I'm still young. I'm not interested in becoming handicapped. Last time, something got into my brain and I went to the gym with him. (A/N: No offense to any handicapped people)

Let's just say, I had my whole body ache all over. Even the tip of my nose was aching.

No! I Have to get away!

"Sorry, Mr. George. My father entrusted me with something important."

"Oh! Since you have work to do, then go on your way!"

Thankfully, he let me go.

"See you later Mr. George."

*sigh*

Sighing in relief in my heart, I said my goodbye and ran away.

"Don't forget to practice more! Chicks only Diggs Boys with muscles and pretty boys! Now you are neither. I will train you next time personally!"

I shudder upon hearing what he said.

"Okay, Mr. George."

Okay, like never!

Outside the building, the scorching sun hit me and disabled the chills I just felt.

Please, bring back the chills.

"Boss, give me a slushy! The Mango flavored one!"

Before doing any work, you have to have the essentials. A Slushy is essential in this weather.

"Here you go."

"Thanks!"

I took a sip of the Mango Slushy.

"Ah! That's it! It hit right on the spot!"

I enjoyed the Slushy while searching for my car. What? It has been a month since I last drove the car.

As for describing the neighborhood? Just forget about it. It took the Author 11 chapters for me to even get outside the house.

Eh!? What did I say? What Author?

Anyway...

Finding the car should be easy right?

Just press the button on the car key that lets the car beep! Let's just hope the battery is still working!

*beep* *beep*

What do you know? The car was right beside me.

I didn't notice the car at first. Because of the thick layer of dust and bird poop.

".... should I wash it first?"

*Ring* *Ring*

My phone rang while I was debating whether to wash the car.

I answered the phone without looking at the caller. That's a Bad choice I must say.

"LAITH. THAT W*SS SALEM WAS RIGHT!"

A loud voice came out as soon as I answered. Even the pedestrians beside me heard it and started giving me some weird eyes.

"For God Sake! Why are you screaming!"

Guess no more. It's my friend Walid, the loudest person you could get to know.

"LISTEN! I'M TELLING YOU, I WAS SHOCKED!"

At this point, the phone is half a meter away from my ear. I want to keep my hearing, Thanks.

There's no other way, I had to end the call. Not only for my ear's safety. But also to avoid social death.

People were looking at me in the wrong way. Heck, someone is craning his neck to hear better.

*Ring* *Ring*

"FBI! OPEN UP!"
