[CHS] Not From Here

Contract

Krete's POV:

I was laying on my bed while looking at the roof. My cat ears were moving a little, and my tail was relaxing for a bit.

I didn't know what to do, I wanted to do something interesting finally in my life...but it's just impossible with all the things that are happening right now. Sometimes I even wonder what it would be like to not suffer. I just know it would feel wonderful. Mom not having Cancer, Luca not having autism, and dad not being an alcoholic. Sometimes my life is the worst, I even wish I wasn't here right now, but I know someone out there suffers more than me.

I continued laying in my bed until suddenly someone rang the doorbell. I got off my bed, and walked to the front door. As soon as I opened it, it was some kind of insect? ¿Maybe a ladybug?

Krete: Uhh, can I help you?

Oscar: Hello. I'm Oscar Winner, but just call me Oscar. I'm just here to talk to your dad, Jose Whiskers. Is he here?

Krete: Oh, my dad. He's an alcoholic, so I don't think he'll even listen one bit about what you're going to say.

Oscar: Okay then, if he isn't available. Could I talk to the oldest member in the house?

Krete: I'm the oldest one. So what do you want?

Oscar: I heard that your mom was dying of Cancer, is that true?

Krete: Who told you that? Anyways, continue.

Oscar: We would like to offer you 150,000$ dollars, if you are willing to help us.

Krete: 150,000$? That's even more money than what we earn each year...I am willing to do anything for my mom, so what am I supposed to do?

Oscar: Something Easy, I just need you to sign this contract here.

As soon as I had the contract, I didn't know what to do. I know I shouldn't trust creatures that come out of nowhere, but this is 150,000$ which equals the money that Cancer treatment costs. I can't just decline it, my mom needs this.

I didn't think of it twice, I didn't think it would really matter. I grabbed a pen and signed it.

Oscar: Okay, I'll have that. Now that you have signed it, would you like to show you what we need help with?

Krete: But Luca can't stay home with dad, he needs someone to take care of him.

Oscar: Is Luca your Pet, or...

Krete: He's my little brother.

Oscar: Don't worry about it, one of my companions will stay here to take care of him. Agent #2651 you may come in, and stay here.

This other creature looked like a lizard, kind of. I didn't get to see its eyes since all of them were wearing black glasses, and everything that they were wearing was black, as if they were agents. Maybe it is because they're actually agents, they literally just mentioned it.

Krete: So you want me to get into that black car?

Oscar: Yes, our boss is waiting for you at our destination. Please, get inside the car.

I know I shouldn't trust these strangers that came out of nowhere, but you know 150,000$ dollars is 150,000$. I can't say no to that, I don't  even care if I die, nobody will miss me anyways. So what's the risk?

I walked towards the mysterious car, and got inside it. It was nice inside, just that it felt different. The smell of it just seemed different, and unique.

Krete: So how long will it take to get there?

Oscar: Not long, it will take us about 30 minutes to get there. It might seem long but I'm assured you will be welcomed very well after we get there.

Krete: Wait a second... I totally forgot about school! Oh wait, I just remembered that it doesn't matter if I kinda skipped school, my dad won't pick the phone up.

Oscar: Oh, I can just call one of my agents that stayed there to answer your school's call, and tell them that you'll be absent today.

Krete: Well thanks, that actually helps me a lot.

Oscar: No need, Agent #3653. May you contact agent #2651 and tell him that if this boy's school calls, tell him that he'll be absent for today.

Agent #3653: Okay sir.

I looked at them so confused. No adult in my entire life has been this kind and gentle with me. Except my mom, of course. Is it really that hard to have a dad that loves you? I don't know really, but at least he's treating me okay.

Oscar: So tell us a little about yourself, young man. First of all, what's your name?

Krete: My name is Krete Whiskers.

Oscar: Well, it's nice to meet you, Krete. Also, we're finally here at our destination.

As soon as we arrived at where we were heading, I got out of the car. To my surprise this building was so big that it might even be a factory. Maybe it is, wait, is this the big laboratory? Oh no, I have heard stuff about this place. It's where they keep all the dangerous species to experiment on them.

I didn't know what to do, so I just stood there doing nothing. I couldn't move at all, it felt like if I was paralyzed.

Oscar: Hey, are you coming or not?

Krete: Coming!

I got inside the building, and if I'm being honest there were a lot of scientists there. I didn't know what they were all up to, so I just decided to ignore it.

Krete: So, uh... do you know where your boss is?

Oscar: Yep, he's usually on the last floor. Since that's his office of course, but I'm sure he'll be there. Anyways, could you follow me to the elevator?

I nodded to him, and followed. After getting on an elevator, the ladybug pressed the button 40 which meant the 40th floor. Is this building really that tall? I wouldn't even be surprised if I was above some clouds, this building is actually pretty big.

I decided to stand there doing nothing again, but I just couldn't wait some minutes just to go to a floor that's like 1 million feet into the air. I won't judge though, this planet does have a lot of strange stuff in it. Like the underwater city or most commonly known as Atlantic City, or the pacific city. There's 2 Atlantic Cities in the world, one in land, one underwater. Most creatures like us can't even go to underwater cities since we don't breathe underwater.

After a long wait, we finally went to the last floor. I got off the elevator, and followed the ladybug creature again.

He opened the door from a room, and I got inside. It seemed like an office. I looked around, and found the name Mr.Upton.

That name sounded familiar, the only Upton I know of is... wait is that scientific Mr.Upton?

Oscar: Mr.Upton he's here.

Mr.Upton: Very well... nice to meet you Krete Whiskers. I promise you'll be very welcomed here, for now good night...

Krete: Wait what...?

Out of nowhere someone hit me with a metal pole in my head, making me fall to the floor unconscious.

(Author's NOTE: Sorry for the long wait, also Krete isn't in any danger for now. Also this might be the start of an Arc, but idk)
