The Envious Crocodile [Book1 Failed Murder]

Friend or Foe

Sebek had ended up taking a train ride to the Sunshine Lands. Well, better then nothing! Unlike a few days ago, he had his hair down along with it being a brown color instead of the mint green. And for safe measure, had blue contacts in. He wouldn't want a repeat of what happened in the Kingdom of Heros would he? He wouldn't keep it up the whole time though, that would create too much blot for him to handle.

Sebek walked into a café hoping to get a coffee of some sort.

"Okay what would you like to order?"

"Coffee if I may"

"Sweetened or unsweetened?

"Sweetened please"

"Alright and the name for the order?"

"....Bob"

"Bob?"

"Bob."

———

Well that was more stressful then Sebek thought. At least he has achieved his coffee! Wait is that a stranger sitting in-front of him?-

"Hello Sebek Zigvolt!"
The stranger said in a whispered voice

....HOW DID THIS INSIGNIFICANT STRANGER KNOW HIS EXACT NAME????

"Don't be afraid, I only want to offer you my help in your journey"

"...."

"Hello?"

"You'd need to prove yourself that you are not just someone of the law. I could also do just fine without you"

Sebek needed to make sure he could trust this stranger. He could not afford being caught by authorities! AGAIN!

"Alright. Well, for starters, my name is Atlas Krane!"

Atlas Krane? Sebek feels like he's seen him somewhere...

"I'm uh... I'm also wanted?"

Oh so that's where he's seen him!

"I guess I can sort of trust you Krane.."

"Oh you can just call me-"

"We should take our leave now Krane and stay on the move!"

"Ow!-"

Sebek pulled Atlas by the ear out the café and to a bus stop

"Do you have money Krane"

"Yeah?"

"You're paying for our bus tickets"

"WHAT?? THAT'S ALL MY MONEY YOU DIMWIT!!"

"MUST I REPEAT MYSELF??"

Everyone went silent and Atlas covered Sebek's mouth

"Don't worry he just gets like this when he's tired!"

Everyone stared at the two for a second. Sebek wondered how no one realized Atlas was wanted but he came to the conclusion he's masking his real look just like he is.

———

Atlas bought the train tickets and now he and Sebek were waiting for the bus at 2:00 to the Shaftlands which would take roughly about 3 and a half hours.

"...Thank you Krane for buying the bus tickets"

"No problem! Also you can just call me Atlas..."

"Not until you earn enough of my trust Krane!"

"Awhhhh"

Right now it was 1:00 so they still had an hour before the bus ride. Why not go buy new disguises?
