The Joestar Protector Book 2

A Connection

   " Hey, you! "

Everyone turned towards the police officer wondering what was wrong. We were able to get off the tiny boat and walk around Singapore. We were looking for the hotel we were going to stay at when the police officer yelled at us. Specifically Polnareff.

   " You! You threw this trash, didn't you? That's a fine of 500 Singapore dollars. "

   " What? 500? " Polnareff asked looking confused.

I noticed a sign with the law on it and pointed to it. 

   " In Singapore, the law says you will be fined for littering. That about 40,000 yen. " I told everyone. 

   " Trash? "

The officer pointed down to the bag Polnareff had at his feet and I felt like laughing. 

   " I don't see anything here besides my own luggage. Would you be so kind as to tell me what trash you're referring to? "

The officer realized his mistake and took a step back but Polnareff was not having it. He stepped forward and grabbed the officer's shoulder.

   " Where is the trash, sir? "

   " That's your luggage? "

   " That's right. "

    " I'm terribly sorry. "

I leaned against Avdol as we both burst out laughing. It was so funny that I didn't even notice the smaller voice laughing beside me. When I stopped laughing I heard it and turned towards the voice to see Anne standing beside me. Everyone took notice of Anne's presence and she stopped laughing realizing that we saw she was still with us.

   " What's with the kid? She's still following us. " Polnareff said letting the officer go.

   " Hey, weren't you going to go see your father? " Joseph asked stepping towards me and Anne.

   " Why don't you stop following us and get going? " Polnareff stated

   " I'm meeting up with him in five days. I can go wherever I want. I'm not taking orders from you guys. "

Kakyoin stood beside me and I watched her eyes. They trailed to a certain JoJo that didn't seem to be making the same eye contact. I connected the dots and a light bulb lit up in my head.

   " She'll be in danger if she stays with us. " Avdol said

   " Maybe she doesn't have any money? " Kakyoin said. 

I grabbed Kakyoin's arm and pulled him down towards the ground. he leaned down and I started whispering in his ear.

   " She's following us because she has a little thing for JoJo. She was looking at him earlier when Polnareff told her to stop following. That's why she's still with us. "

I let go of Kakyoin and he looked at me and then to Anne. He saw where her eyes led and I could see the light bulb go off in his head. He nodded at me and put an arm around my shoulder.

   " Great observation. "

   " I'm just that good, Kakyoin. "

   " All right, I guess we can pay for her hotel room. Polnareff, bring her but don't hurt her pride. "

   " Got it. "

Polanreff walked up to Anne and Kakyoin and I was waiting to see what happens. We knew it would either make us laugh or be filled with giggles. His arm was still around my shoulder as we watched.
