Above The Clouds 🌙

Can you trust a Wolf ?

Porchay POV :

🌕In the Zone, before midday 🌕

The Zone had not changed.
Always invaded by rats, insects, immersed in pollution and so disturbing for others people to see.
Chay's little paradise, he grew up here: no one cared about his Omega status. In the Zone it was survival first.

''Beware of the casino Street.'' muttered Joe who was ripping the fur off of a rat. ''There are things going on there...Not good things.''

Porchay was sitting cross-legged on an old gray can.
They were near the dump, where the rats were most numerous.
Chay crossed his arms:

"What's happening down there?"

''Oh I shouldn't tell you anything. In fact, I shouldn't even speak to you...I was paid graciously last time by the guy with the long hair for this."

Porchay rolled his eyes with a sigh.
Ah, Kimhan Theerapanyakul, always ready to do anything to protect Porchay.
Or piss him off.
It was almost humiliating.
However, Porchay knew how to get his information.

''Unlike him, I know our Zone well...I know where the copper is.''

Joe frowned.
Copper sold well.
Some even could become rich by selling copper.
He touched his white beard with a sigh:

"Okay, kid. What do you want to know ? You better not lie too because I will kick your ass."

''Your information first. I'll tell you after.'' demanded Chay.

The old man grimaced and spat on the ground.
This little prick had become smarter thanks to his rich boyfriend obviously.

''You know..Nothing really new for the Zone. But people are disappearing at the casino... And I had nothing to do with it, this time. Look like they are targeting some people. Special people.''

Porchay rested his chin on his hand, he looked away, the dump was the highest point in the Zone, and he could see the casino.
Special people.
People like Chay ?
Old Joe couldn't probably know.

''Someone stealing your work, grandpa?''

''I dunno.''

''Hm....Best was hiding his copper in the street of the market, under the broken lamppost. Since he is gone...You can have it.''

Joe nodded and Porchay stretched.
It was time for him to search for those damned kidnappers.
As usual, Porchay was never afraid, here showing your fear made you a victim.
An easily exterminable prey, such as rats.

He hesitated a little while going down the pile of trash. Kim was going to get mad at him if Porchay took any risks.

''Oiiii.... Damn, I was about to eat and take a nap.''

An hour later, at the bridge that connects the Zone and the city, Boss and Kit arrived.
Porchay immediately squinted.

''Hey, I don't need you, but P'Kim needs to know you both are with me, so that he feel better... Don't put the blame on me.''
