Chapter 86
Chapter 86: 86
“The six of you can come inside now, Diego stay here since we need to have a talk.” I said.
“H-hey man, I don’t want any trouble alright?” he said.
“Is there something wrong with him Sky?” Kaley asked.
“Yeah, something is definitely wrong with this asshole. Asshole, take off all your clothes.” I said.
“Woah! Woah! Hey man! Be cool, alright? I’m not gonna take my clothes in front of all these people here okay!” he pleaded.
“Then f.u.c.k.i.n.g leave this place.” I said.
“Sky… he seems a pretty chill guy, I think we shoul-” Mark said before I cut him off.
“My place, my rules. I will personally drive you to the DDR camp there but I highly doubt they’ll accept you with what you’re carrying.” I said sternly.
“W-wait, Tatiana checked him earlier.” Kaley said.
He starts to sweat profusely and his eyes darted left and right. He suddenly gave a few involuntary ticks and he looks very different from the person before. Kaley is just observing him now and she has a different expression.
“C’mon man, I’m clean alright? Just, j-just lay it easy man!” he stutters.
“Okay, don’t take off your clothes. Hand me your bag first.” I said.
He gave an almost unnoticeable smirk and he throws it at me.
“Knock yourself out.” He said.
“Idiot.” I said to myself.
I opened his bag and I dropped all the contents at the pavement. The bag is empty but there is still some weight to it.
“C’mon man, it’s just clothes and a bit of food there alright?” he said but his nervous ticks are still occurring.
“Gonna go down swinging huh?” I said as I turned the bag inside out.
There’s a seam inside that was sticking out like a nail. I cut it open and a few syringes and a plastic bag with a white substance fell out. He looked at me in shock while the others did as well.
“Still shooting yeah? I’ll be taking this with me and flush it down the toilet.” I said.
He suddenly placed his hands inside his pants and he pulled out a small metal piece and he lunged towards me.
“Sky!” Kaley shouted.
“Damn it.” I said to myself as I drew my blade.
*slice*
*plop*
“AHHHHHH!!! YOU F.U.C.K.I.N.G PRICK!!! I’LL MURDER ALL OF YOU!!!” he shouted at the top of his lungs.
His right arm falls off his body and blood started to spray out. He once again rushed towards me despite the look in his face but a gunshot rang before I tried to knock him out.
*BANG*
The body fell limp on the pavement and blood is slowly flowing from his head. I looked at my side and I saw Tatiana has her pistol out while everybody was frozen on the spot. I just nodded at Tatiana while she did the same as she holstered her pistol.
A few people now went outside when they heard the gunshot and they were shocked when they saw the display.
“Holy shit, the f.u.c.k happened here?!” Oscar exclaimed.
I waved the packets of meth in my hand then I pointed at the shiv on the dismembered arm and he understood.
“F.u.c.k.i.n.g junkie.” Oscar said.
From his bag, aside from his clothes there was a small weighing scale, a few rolls of cash, a lighter and a notebook also hidden on the other seams. Oscar dispersed the crowd and the only ones left outside was me, Kaley and Tatiana. Allan and Jenny were on the catwalk as usual but everyone was silent.
“Let’s move this thing outside first.” I told them.
I brought the pedicab first and I placed the body inside. I notice that Tatiana is rubbing Kaley’s back and Kaley won’t look at me but she’s trembling.
“We’ll talk later yeah? Help me with the fence.” I asked.
We three worked in silence and we burned the body after I took everything of importance from him.
I broke the silence when we reached the gate and I said, “Sorry, you shouldn’t have seen that.”
“H-hold on, I’m the one who should be apologizing, I deemed the guy to be included to live with us. It would’ve been so much worse if you didn’t check him.” Kaley stammered.
“I’m sorry too. I didn’t know where he got this shiv I-” Tatiana chimed.
“Drop that shiv now!” I interrupted Tatiana. I had goosebumps in my body when I saw her casually holding it.
“Huh? But-” she looks confused.
“Drop it! For the love of all things living!” I shouted.
“She must’ve not noticed where he pulled it out from.” I said to myself.
“W-wait why?” they are now confused.
“You didn’t see where he pulled that from? He used to be in prison.” I said.
“Umm, so?” Kaley said.
“F.U.C.K!” she cursed.
“I told you so.” I said to myself.
When Tatiana heard the word ‘prison’ she immediately threw it away. It landed outside the fence and it bounced a few times before sliding off. She now has an angry and disgusted expression.
“You don’t get it do you? It’s becau-” I said to Kaley then I was cut off.
“It was hidden inside his ass! That’s why I didn’t saw it! AHHH! F.U.C.K!” Tatiana shouted on the top of her lungs.
“First time I saw you explode like that, HAHAHAHA!!!” I laughed.
“W-wait, ass? You mean t-th- Ew! Why would he put it there?” Kaley exclaimed when the truth was finally revealed.
“Prisoners used to hide things there like knives or drugs since security would confiscate contraband if it was seen inside their cells. It took the both of you a long time before you got it. Oh man…” I explained as I was holding my laughter back.
Tatiana immediately went to a faucet and washed her hands thoroughly. She headed to my house as she looks for soap and a drink to forget about it.
I looked at her then I said, “Hey, you don’t have to worry about it. That guy has been in and out of prison and he could fool anyone if you’re not familiar with the guy. He was the one who was selling to my cousin and that’s why I know him. He tried to sell to me too but I reported him.”
“But why did he act like you’re bestfriends? He never knew that you reported him?” she asked.
“He’s an abuser of those things for a long time. He’s very unstable when you try to take his substances. I probed to see a reaction and a reaction is what I got. He never knew it was me. It was a good call for Oscar to not let them in yet.” I explained.
Tatiana finally joined us and she said, “You could’ve told me sooner.”
“I did. You’re the one who wanted more explanations, hah! What did it smell like? HAHAHAHA!!!” I teased and laughed maniacally.
“I didn’t smell it! F.U.C.K!” she storms off.
We headed to the pool area and almost everyone is there. They all wore solemn expressions as they looked at me. I explained to them what I know about Diego and what happened before we killed him. Allan also explained before what happened and they very much understand the situation.
“I’d like to remind you all to be careful with who we interact with outside. We don’t need to be hostile, just vigilant. Always be ready to react when something happens. We shouldn’t be too lax or too optimistic that we will always meet good people. Let us make it a rule to hold the newcomers first on the first layer of the fence before we let them inside the compound.” I said.
Kaley still has a somewhat sad expression and I still think she felt responsible for what happened. I tried cheering her up but I feel that she wants to drop the subject for now.
“Well this is the first time someone not infected was killed. I tried disabling him but Tatiana made the decision. Can’t blame her though, It’s the right call. I’m still thinking I could save everyone I encounter. I need to toughen up a bit more.” I said to myself.
Everyone still has solemn expressions and the food is being brought out for everyone.
“Oscar, is the president’s line always open? Can you call him after lunch?” I asked.
“Yeah, he’s not the one always answering it but sometimes he just picks it up from whoever did.” he said.
“I might have found something out without them noticing.” I said as I told him about the sentries.
He gave me different expressions when I relayed my findings to him.
“You sure that that’s what happened kid?” he asks while the rest of my group confirms it.
“Damn, I’m not sure if they’ve discovered it but they never told me of that yet. It could be another version of it though, we’re not sure.” He added.
“That’s a valid point too. They would’ve probably noticed that those things do that as well.” I said. 𝓃𝒪𝗏𝔢𝑙𝞰𝐞xt.𝑐𝐎𝑀
“From the broadcasts, all they’ve said was they discovered them, there were no mention of their findings. Could they be hiding it?” Kaley said.
“Well, could they be hiding it then?” Johnny repeated what Kaley said and he looked at me.
“For what reason though? Aren’t we supposed to help each other, right?” Rin said.
“Easy. Those who solves this thing first will rule the world. As easy as that.” I said with a straight face.
