29 | blast from the past 2

We finally reached that football arena where the game was being held. It was packed with people wearing different Jerseys of their favorite teams or players and so far I've seen red outnumbering white, which means that the red one is the stronger team. Sam was waiting for us on the bleachers and waved his hands when he saw us but i could see his eyes widening when they settled on me, I won't blame him this is the first time that I'm attending a football game.

We made out way to our seats not before buying loads and loads of food for Lucas of course that guy can eat the whole menu of McDonald's and still ask for a dominoes pizza. The game started after about half an hour and everyone was cheering when their respective teams arrived. All men were bulky and tall almost taller than me and I'm 6'3 which says something. They took their positions and the referee blew the whistle, indicating the game has started.

The first half of the game was kind of boring because both the teams were playing on tied points but after the first half, the game picked up its pace and so far the red one was doing a pretty job to keep more points in their quota but the white one was not far behind them. Dropping goals after goals.

I was finally having a little fun, after worrying about the pros and cons of our mission, this match was like a breath of fresh air. The red team was just goal away from winning and when I saw a bulky man with number 22 on his shirt running with the ball and just like that he did the touchdown and the whole stadium erupted into loud cheers. Everyone was rooting for the red team and when they won, it was like a whole new year was celebrating inside the football arena. Lucas jumped up from his seat and started shouting about how the game was a given and he knew that team Harold (the red team) would win.

As the stadium started to clear out, we also went after the crowd. Everyone was talking about the match some were criticising the red team while some were praising it for their fair gameplay. I was silently following them. We walked out of the stadium and straight to our car when a person caught my eye. A girl was standing with a guy, his back was facing us with his arm wrapped tightly around the girl's waist, too tight to hurt.

The girl was squirming in her place, shifting from one foot to another. The guy suddenly pulled her closer and she flinched like she was in pain and when I looked down at her foot, she was indeed injured. Her jeans had a big splash of blood and it was running down her leg. she looked around before lifting her leg a little and wiping the blood from her feet, I couldn't see her face because it was painted red like the flag of the Harold team but I could see her eyes and they were a hazel colour my eyes widened in recognition, she is the same girl I saw outside the Cafe.

I suddenly felt this urge to go up to her and take her to a hospital but I refrained when that guy once again pulled her closer. His face was also painted red so I couldn't recognise him.

I just watched her until they both walked away, the guy with a fast pace and the girl limping after him. Does he not know that his girlfriend is injured? I shrugged and continued my walk to the truck, eliminating the thought of those hazel eyes and how they managed to bring out something from my closed-off interior. When I reached the truck Lucas was already seated inside it eating a pack of cheese nuggets.

"Oh hey, where did you stop," he said with his mouth stuffed with food, it was disgusting. I scrunched my nose and ignored him.

"We have to go back to the mansion, josh called me and said that he found something on greys whereabouts." He swallowed his food and drank water from the bottle resting against the window. The bottle almost looked like it was melted from the heat and I was sure that the water inside it is boiling hot but I let him drink.
