All The Arts That We're Not

Chapter 31

Zeke

The whole night, Zeke had thought about what his plans would be. Although they know Tim and the others would do just fine inside the cell, they have to let them out as soon as possible before Zero could even figure their friends was caught.

Zeke doesn't want to bother Zero about it. He knows he would be scolded if he ever finds out the truth but that's basically not his concern right now.

As soon as Zeke arrived at the place where he expected Jason to be at. Jason made an appearance with a huge smile stretched across his lips, just before Zeke looked for him.

"You looking for me?" Jason asked but Zeke remain looking at his eyes. "What now?"

"I'm accepting your offer." Zeke said it so sudden that it made Jason creased his brow.

"I'm sorry?"

"I already said it, don't make me repeat myself." A silence occured as Jason processed if he just heard him right. When Zeke didn't say anything, Jason let out a chuckle.

"Wow, it seems like youd finally come to realization huh. I'm so proud of you."

Zeke rolls his eyes. "I don't have time to mess around here. I'm gonna accept your offer but in one condition."

"What is it?"

"I want to have the money now." Jason stared at him for a few beats.

It impresses Jason how Zeke got to accept his offer without asking first what he's gonna make him do. Just looking at Zeke, made him thought he's desperate for the money. He sure had something important he's gonna use the money for and which makes him really happy.

"Just tell me what I have to do."

Jason nods his head. "Okay, deal."

It was one irrational decision Zeke has ever made. He has never accept an offer from someone to do a job alone. He told himself and wouldn't and would never but not that he had other choice. Although it wasn't the right decision he has done but this is the only way he got. As much as he hates it, he couldn't think of any ways.

Arkin woke up when heard the knocking on his door while his dad calling out for him. When he reached the door and pulled the door open, he saw his dad. The way he looked at him and the way he scan the bruises on his face, he knows his dad had questions forming in his head.

"Get changed. Your mum's gonna pick you up." His dad told him before leaving without any word.

Arkin remain standing as he wonder if he was okay. It's was unusual of him not to ask about anything, not even the obvious bruises he got on his face. He must've got tired of asking him the same questions and not getting answers.

After changing into his clothes, he was then picked up by his mum for a dinner. His mum wanted to try something new so she took Arkin to a restaurant.

It's been a while since she took him to a different place and she was so excited, although Arkin doesn't feel the same though. He's just hoping to get through this already.

"How's school?" His mum started as they begin to eat.

"Nothing new." Arkin replied, plainly and his mum nod his head while she think of others questions to keep the conversation going.

"By the way, I've seen the result of your examinations."

"Are you gonna scold me too about how terrible I've got?" He asked and his mum quickly shake his head.
