the boy and the dragon girl

ch 17

I got up the next morning feeling better then ever I went downstairs after getting dressed miss Potts handed me a letter it was for the meeting with the slaver which was in a couple hours I ate breakfast and took Mary's up to her she was just getting up

"Morning sleep head"

"Morning damn you look good and your giving me breakfast what's the occasion"

"It's nothing I'm just dressed for a meeting with the slaver taking off soon I'll take chip with me"

"You don't want me to go with you"

"No if I brought you the slaver would try to buy you and I don't want you to see how they keep slaves its not pretty"

""Alright but will chip be ok seeing it"

"He will probably see it eventually its better if I'm there to help him get through it"

She chuckled

"Big brother much"

"Well he is younger so yea I guess anyways love you have fun while I'm gone"

"Just stay safe and don't do anything stupid"

"I'm never stupid"

We kissed and I left the room just as she said

"Bullshit your my stupid"

I went down stairs and grabbed chip and we took a big wagon with a cover we went to the location in town for the meeting it was a wherehouse a sleazy looking man came out and greeted us

"Evening gentlemen which one of you is master dean"

"That would be me I hear you have some interesting merchandise tell me is this woman still available"

I hand him the photo of miss pots daughter

"Ah this one yes she is tell me why so interested in this one"

"You see I helped put her husband in debt so I could have his woman"

"Ah I understand if you'll follow me are you also looking for any other specific people"

We went inside the place was fithy everyone was in cages wearing collars and chained up I saw chip trying not to throw up and looked disgusted

"Some were wolves if you have them I need new workers for a job and there strength would be perfect"

"We have a few here's the girl"

I looked in the cage it was miss potts kid she was in rags and she had bruises I put my hand to my chin to look like I was thinking and put a finger to my mouth for her to remain quiet I turned to the slaver

"Perfect how many wolves do you have"

"We have six and if your interested we have recently acquired a dragon child"

"Really that does interest me how much for the wolves and the two girls"

"What's say 2 million gold"

"2 million please can't you do better look at her condition and if the rest are the same or similar they won't last that long"

"Alright fair enough how about 1million 750 thousand

"Make it 1 and a half million and you have a deal"

"You drive a hard bargain but you wouldn't be a professional if you didn't Alright  1 and a half million deal"

"Deal I'll get your money"

We went to the bank next door I withdrew the money they were a bit concerned with the amount I just said it was a business deal we went back and finished all the paperwork and got them on the wagon when we got to the house and got everyone inside everyone was gathered in the dinning room I had Gaston prepare some food for everyone
