The Lords against DJ

Tom and Jerry

                                    Tom and Jerry

The rented car moved at a certain pace going towards a certain destination. The passengers sitting in the back seat looked around the posh neighbourhood with wide eyes, having not seen such an amazing view in a long time.

The elite area called as 'Land of the Doukas's', where rich and powerful people resided, was beautiful and well-kept, to say the least.

And why won't it be?

People living there had a lot to spend to make their surroundings beautiful and keep their air fresh, unlike the other underkept parts of the country. Tall green trees standing proud on both sides of the road while fresh grass, forming small gardens alongside the road, contained several swaying flowers, each of a different kind. Wind around those gardens felt fresh and scented as well as expensive.

Both the boys were totally in awe as they wandered their curious eyes, enjoying the scenery of heaven.

'Land of Doukas's' was truly amazing unlike Ferra market' the young detective thought deeply with a sigh.

DJ and Tom were both sitting in the back of the car as the vehicle glided through the greenery and onto the twisted road. The younger was tensed and nervous about what was to come at their destination while Tom was excited to see the beautiful villa of the lords he had always wished to see.

The car was slowing down after turning a new lane and DJ was feeling his stomach drop realizing that they had reached.

The driver stopped the car slowly at the curb and turned to look at his passengers.

Tom raised his brow in question and DJ fidgeted in his seat getting more tense.

"local cars aren't allowed to pass the gate, sir. You will have to walk up there on your own" the driver said politely, pointing towards the gates far away from their car. Tom noticed how the driver called them with respect. The man has used the word 'sir', imagining them as someone who had connections or some kind of relativity with the lords.

Tom felt kind of happy to realize that.

He nodded his head arrogantly before motioning DJ to leave the car as he did himself too. The younger did as he was told and paid for the drive. The driver thanked them and left, leaving both the boys on the side of the road.

The huge iron gates were getting near as they stepped forward towards the Doukas's Villa. DJ was a little behind, searching his surroundings with curious eyes while Tom gazed around the beautiful environment with admiration in his eyes.

The gates were now a few feet away making DJ stop in his tracks. His heart was beating at a fast pace as he felt anxiety building in his stomach.

"let's go" Tom chirped, ignoring the way DJ was worriedly looking around, as he held onto the detective's tiny hand only to feel resistance. He turned around and found DJ eyeing the gates which were taller than seven feet. His brows were furrowed with tension, and his lips had turned darker red because of his constant sucking on them.

"don't worry babe. I am here, am I not? Just chill. They aren't going to eat you" Tom comforted the young boy but DJ still had a bad feeling bubbling in his chest.

From earlier in the day, the boy was biting his nails and sucking on his lower lip continuously, just with the building pressure and anticipation of visiting the lords. Only God knows what will happen after they get inside, but DJ was pretty sure it wouldn't be pretty.

Still in thoughts, the boy was dragged along towards the huge gates and was face to face with a grumpy-looking guard. The man eyed them, measuring them up and down with his bored gaze before fixing his eyes on the shorter and younger one.
