Naked Minds: Reading your mind like an open book

<< GUN >>

It was a long day of relaxation we were finally back at the dorm. Maetee and T-rex no longer went up. Instead, Papi, P'Tay and Singto carried our shopping bags for us.

"Off, you seem to be carrying a lot of stuff." New pointed out as we entered the elevators.

"I thought we won't be able to fit in here with all the bags you're carrying." P'Tay teased.

"Did you also went shopping when Gun wasn't looking?" Singto joked.

"These are all Gun's. I don't think I'd be able to manage if I also go shopping with you guys." he laughed.

"Aw... Papi, I'm sorry. Let me help you with that." I tried to take some bags to free one hand. But he only tightened his grip. "Come on, Papi. At least give me some."

"Nah. I can manage. You shop as much as Mae and my sister. I'm used to carrying shopping bags around." then he added in his thoughts, "Maybe later you can give me that massage."

I ended up playfully hitting his stomach. I must've hit him harder as he was still cringing even after we've reached our floor.

"Stop it. I know I didn't hit you that hard." I scolded him in my mind.

He playfully stuck out his tongue at me before exiting the elevator. Since I wasn't carrying anything, I was the one who opened the door... revealing a trashed living room.

"What the hell?!" I exclaimed. Before I could go in, Papi already pulled me back into the hallway.

"Tay, let's check the place first. The rest of you stay here." Papi said leaving me with all the bags. He didn't even wait for P'Tay before storming in the dorm.

We waited anxiously by the door. It took forever for the two to join us.

"Tay and I swept the place. It's clear but I don't recommend us staying here." Papi said. "It's just not safe."

"Everythings turned upside down in all the room." P'Tay explained. "It was like someone was searching for something."

"Where do you suggest we stay?" Krist asked.

"For now, let's just go to my place. It's quite isolated and the place is secure."

"Are you talking about your mansion where Gun almost got ran over?" Singto pointed out.

"Let's talk about this in the car if you're alright with it." Papi suggested, to which everyone agreed.

When we went down the parking lot, where Maetee and T-rex were waiting.

Everyone got settled in the van.

"The place looks like it was ransacked. It's a mess." P'Tay said. "We're not sure if anything was missing or if someone left something inside."

"Maybe this is just a prank." Singto commented.

"Who would make such a sick joke?" Krist pointed out.

"I'm sorry but I'm not too sure what is going on." Papi admitted. "I can have Maetee check inside. If it's safe then we cam go back."

"Wait. How sure are we that they won't come back?" New was getting paranoid. His mind was all over the place, "I've already seen this in my dream. We come in a disarrayed house. We cleaned upand by the following night, our throats were all slit."

"If it's alright with everyone, maybe we can stay at Papi's place for the night and let's talk more about it tomorrow morning?" I suggested.

"I'm alright with that." New immediately agreed.
