"Come on... why don't you tell me what you know about this? You could help the cops find them, if you know something they don't..." You were almost back at the shop and for the last minutes you talked about what has been on the news lately, and he didn't say a word. Just silence. For a few minutes now, even as he was walking beside you.

"That's none of your concern. Just let it go." He sounded annoyed but tried to keep his cool and tried to cover his nervousness. But you noticed. You knew he was uncomfortable right when you started to talk about this topic. You noticed his expression getting cold and his body tensing. If his friend hadn't aussaulted you yesterday and you would have gotten to know him in a normal way, you would be teasing him a little and just make a little fun of him being so serious. But it isn't a normal situation. At least it didn't feel like it, so you bit your lip and held back your sassy comments.

"Then... will you at least tell me your name? Then I could at least save your number in my phone for ~possible future emergencies~ right?" You tried to lighten the mood a little, even if your neck still hurt you wanted to just forget it, and be your usual self, not worrying about what could have happened or what will eventually happen in the future. He said nothing. Just walking along.

"Come on. I won't tell anyone. I never told anyone what happened yesterday either, so your secret is safe with me." You moved your hand as if you would lock your mouth shut and toss the key. He still said nothing. No expression either. You wanted to nudge him with your elbow as he turned to you and stopped walking. 

You didn't realize you were at the shop again. Looking at your phone, a shocked expression on your face. Oh shit, I wanted to start work earlier today, it's already 9.44 am. I need to get going. 

"Well, thank you for the coffee, and the nice walk, ...?" The tone of your voice was higher at the end of the sentence, indicating you still wanted to know his name. He sighed and turned his head away, looking like he was searching for someone or something or just to check his surroundings, you didn't really know. Or just contemplating if he should tell me his name.

He turns his head back to you. "Kakucho." You gave him a slight smile and nodded before walking around him. "Bye, Kakucho." As you walked away he was eyeing you closely as you pulled your hood deeper into your face and kept walking in the other direction. 

to BFF; 9.58 am

"I need to talk to you. Those last days were WEIRD AF. (⊙_⊙) Call me if you can."<<

BFF; 10.02 am

>>"What happened? Tell me (◔_◔)"

Your phone rang, not even three minutes after his text. You told him everything that happened in the last days, while you ran a program for testing your code on your laptop. You could tell he was loudly gasping throughout the conversation expressing his shock.

"𝐴𝑟𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑟𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑛𝑜𝑤? 𝐻𝐸 𝐹𝑈𝐶𝐾𝐼𝑁𝐺 𝐶𝐻𝑂𝐾𝐸𝐷 𝑌𝑂𝑈?" You could hear the anger in his voice echo trough the speaker of your phone. He yelled so loud you had to hold your phone away from your ear to not fall deaf. You go on to tell him the whole story and how you met his friend this morning, walking to the shop to get cigarettes and how he was really nice actually and told you his "friend" will be punished for his behaviour. "Oh my god, that sounds like he is his little puppy that misbehaved..." He chuckled and asked you if you were sure you were safe. You assured him you will be safe, your boyfriend is sleeping right now, but he will be here to keep me safe. He told you he was curious, if they were really as dangerous as he made them out to be, or if it's just a hoax.

"You told her your name, knowing, she knows about the stuff that we did around the area? Are you fucking crazy? Mikey won't be happy when he hears about this... Do you know what could happen??" 

"Fuck off Sanzu!! She doesn't know it was us. But you know what YOU fucking did??? You choked a random woman out of nowhere. You wanna know what she looked like today? I'm sure she didn't even know why you went so hard on her. Do we need to babysit you everytime you're not around Mikey, you donkey?"

"You heard what she said to me that night. That was rude. I was just complementing her. I could have just killed her yesterday, then you wouldn't run in circles anymore..." 

Kakucho threw an almost empty pill bottle over to Sanzu. He shook it, realizing, there must be only two or three pills left in there. "Eh?? It's almost empty?" 

"Leave, Sanzu." Sanzu clicked his tongue, standing up to go to his room, flipping Kakucho off one last time. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next few days go by in a minutes time. You started working on a new project on a topic you weren't familiar with, so you had to study the topic, as well as work on the code. It was a lot of googling and researching for the new program you have to code, because the company that wants it, wants it in a specific way, so you do your best to get it done as fast as possible. 

It's friday and you can clock out at 6pm today, but your boyfriend has to work until 9pm, so you have a little bit of time to yourself, where you decided to just pamper yourself. Face mask on, bathrobe on, showered, shaved and all that jazz. You put some music on and just dance around the living room, just vibing along. Dancing to the fridge to get a drink. It was a hard week, so you deserved it. You make your way out to the balcony for a smoke, your phone in your hand. 

*DING*

You light your cigarette and click on the message icon, revealing who texted you.
