10. the narrow escape ♧

Eric was a little scared but he would never admit that, of course he was sandstorm he had to be brave and could not show any weakness.

Ellis and Eric slowly made their way to what they knew was the camera room.
They heard the entrance door open, which was announced by the ringing of small bells and the voices of Len and Jay who were currently speaking to the detectives.

Ellis took Sandstorm by the arm and pushed him into a dark corner to hide as a person walked down the hall to the main room.
probably the person had heard the voices in the main room and went to see what was going on.

The two walked slowly so as not to get caught as they walked down hallway after hallway.

When they were in front of camera room they stood briefly in front of the door before both opened the door at the same time and went into the room.

The room was dimly lit and only one person could be seen by the desk where there were several computers.

"what a surprise Ellis and Eric I was not expecting you."

Eric felt a cold shiver run through him as the person sitting on the chair slowly turned to face the two of them.
'Where did the person get my real name? I'm wearing my sandstorm outfit.'

The person had an outfit that was reminiscent of a police officer.
The name sign read "detectiv Cris" Ellis was in a fighting position so that at any moment he could defend himself in case of need.

But the person named Cris just stood up and walked over to Eric and put a hand on his head before saying in a confused voice

"Hey I'm offended, don't you recognize your best friend?"

'wait it can't be...'

Sandstorm looked around the room confused when he noticed that Ellis was no longer in a fighting position and now had a smile on his face, which also looks confused at the same time.

"What a surprise to meet you here Mimic or should I say Kiro. But how do you know Eric?"

Ellis and Kiro started laughing as if they had known each other forever and as if it was an inside joke.
sandstorm just stood there with his mouth open.

"oh Eric is my school friend from 5th grade."

was all Kiro said with a smile as he transformed back into his normal form.

"K..Ki..ro... KIRO what were you thinking, just running away from school and never being heard from again."

All that was going through Sandstorm's mind was 'my best friend... Kiro. Wait, isn't the casino company's name Kiro wait wasn't the city district also called Kiro?

No, that can't be the kiro standing in front of me. Or can it?'

"Since you are obviously not working right now, can you help? and what are you doing here anyway, oh so feared leader of the Camelion Maffia and owner of the Kiro Casinos."

Ellis said as he giggled and went to the computers and turned everything off with the push of a button.

Kiro went to the door after grabbing Eric's hand and dragging him outside. Ellis simply followed behind the two.

"Sure, no problem. I'm here for the same reason as you. For information. And now I have a lot to tell Eric, apparently."

Kiro made a fake sigh.
