After such a miserable and exhausting day, resting for a couple of hours, even on hard ground, felt like bliss to all of the slaves in White Skull's compound. Including Alex, who had a close call with something new. A glimpse of how vicious and horrible the world had become.

[ Time skip until early morning ]

[ Meanwhile at Alex's prison ]

For the time being, silence was all that could be found in the prison where Alex and his coworkers were napping while waiting for the unpleasant morning call that would begin another painful day..... All of them, expect for one single soul.

Alex : " * Sleeping * "

? ? ? ? ? : " * Calling him quietly * Hey!.... Hey!!! Yo! Wake up, man!!! "

Alex [ Sleepy ] : " * Wakes up * Ah!... Wah?! What all this barking is for ? "

? ? ? ? ? : " On your left! Over here! "

Through a small hole on the wall, enough for a child's hand to go through it, the slave from the next cell was talking to Alex, who seemed kind of pissed off for being awakened before the call.

Alex [ Pissed off ] : " Listen, man, I've got no idea who the heck are you or what you want from me at such a late hour, but I want nothing to do with it. I'm super tired and super hungry, and another pain-in-the-ass day is about to come. So, if you could let me be, I'll be grateful * Goes back to sleep * Good night. "

? ? ? ? ? : " Wait! Wait! Wait! I've got something that might interest ya. "

Before Alex goes back to sleep, the slave offered him an irresistible offer. A clean can of fresh and delicious tuna. 

? ? ? ? ? : " So, can I buy a few moments of your time with this? "

Alex : " * Looking at it * ........... "

Alex, unable to ignore the offer, snatched the can and consumed it without hesitation or even caring where did he got it.

? ? ? ? ? : " I'll take that as a yes. "

Alex : " * Takes the last bite then drop the can * Be quick. " 

? ? ? ? ? : " Relax, Alex. I'll be swift and all. I just want to ask a favor from you. "

Alex : " I don't do favors, stranger..... and how do you even know my name ? " 

? ? ? ? ? : " Dah! everyone knows you here, Alex. Have you thought that your story with the White skull's lotting squad would remain hidden forever ? "

Alex : " ..... Oh!.... Right... But.. I was here just like... a day, and everyone already know about it ? "

? ? ? ? ? : " News here travel very fast, you know..... or maybe you don't yet. Anyway, back on topic. I understand you don't know me and don't trust me, but trust me. It will serve the greater good. I simply need you to bring me a few basic objects, and in exchange, I will guarantee that you will have a place in the upcoming event. "
