Chapter 5.

Pov. Tubbo:

I woke up. The sun was now fully shining. It was already afternoon. I looked to my left, where Ranboo was sleeping in a sitting position. I shook with him a bit in hopes he would wake up. It didn't work. So I spoke up : "Hey Ranboo, wake up." That did seem to actually work. He shuffled and lifted his head up. He looked around a bit panicked. "Wh-what? Oh, yeah... Uh, do you have some food? I'm kinda hungry." "Sadly, no."

'Wow, I'm so stupid. How did I forget to take some when I was leaving? But I was in a hurry to be fair.'

"But I have some money, we can buy something."

"Sure. Do you know where the nearest shop is? You know, I haven't been outside in a few years."

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be at least one 24/7 shop somewhere. But now I'm thinking about it, you should find yourself some normal clothes. It's not like it's normal to wear plain white clothes just like that." "Yeah that's true. But where?"

'Hmm, where do you find clothes in this situation?'

"Maybe someone left some here, like trash." "I guess that's our only option."

So as we were walking safely through the alleyways, making our way to the shop, we managed to find some old clothes. It was an old Hawaiian shirt. It was orange with blue ornaments, but the colours were already very dull. It was good enough. If it fits, wear it.

So we continued our way through the alleyways and then found the shop we were looking for. It was kinda small, there weren't many people around. "OK, so, we will just grab some food, pay and go away. Maybe we should get you sunglasses. It's not normal to have a rad and green eye." "OK, sounds like a plan."

We entered the shop. People were giving us weird stares. Ranboo's high didn't help it. He was like feet taller than me. We grabbed some cheap food, snacks and a pair of sunglasses and made our way to the cashier. He looked a bit scared of Ranboo. He still scanned our things and we paid him. As we were leaving, I could see him take out his phone. That scared me a bit, but he doesn't seem to call anyone, more like he checked something, so it's probably fine.

It wasn't.

We sat down, not that far from the shop we just left, and started eating the food that we bought. It was nice, finally sitting down, relaxing a bit. I wish it would stay like that a little longer. Just sitting, talking and laughing. Just a bit longer.

But It didn't.

As we were sitting, we could hear police sirens getting closer to our location. So we packed the food we haven't finished yet and ran back to hide in the alleyways. 'I hate this. We can't even go shopping without someone calling the police on us. How do they even know about us?'

"What should we do now?" He asked. "Maybe we should try and find some kind of free to use pc?" I suggested. Though I have no idea where to find one. "Isn't that too dangerous?"

"Yeah- yeah, it is."

It was very dangerous. It was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Almost impossible. There is very limited time to find one file in hundreds of others. And afterwards escape the military of whatever that is. But if it works, Ranboo would be free. 'I would take this risk for him. I got him to this mess, so I will get him out of it.'

"So now we have to find some place with free to use computer. Any ideas in mind?"

" I don't know. I haven't been outside for a few years. How am I supposed to know?" 'Well, it's not like I have been much outside other than school also.' But then an idea struck me.

"I think there are free to use computers in libraries, if I'm not mistaken. I swear there was one in the library that I went to sometimes. But it's too close to my home. That will be too dangerous." "Well, any other libraries around here?" There weren't any other libraries in this city. "We would have to go to a different city and that's quite a long way" I suggested. Though, the closest city is like 5 hours of walking.

"Well it's not like we have much of a choice here, also it's quite dangerous to be in the same city where there are police cars trying to find us 24/7." 'Well, he has a point.'

"I guess so."

"Let's go then, it's getting late already"
