INTRODUCTION

He was in his office. Looking outside the window. Looking at the droplets sliding down because of the rain. It was quite boring he thought. But he was used to these kind of boring days in his life. That was his life as the most powerful person in town.

He was sitting in his chair. With his legs on the table while playing with the small knife. Suddenly he heard someone knock on the door. He put his legs down and put the knife down as well. "Come in" he said in an emotionless voice. The door opened and the butler walked in "Sorry to disturb you sir" he said in his old voice.

He didn't reply, instead he looked at him waiting for him to speak. As if signalling him to tell his reason for coming. "It-it's about the report, s-sir" the butler said. He looked nervous and scared. Even more than usual which irritated him. "Stop stuttering, and come straight to the point" he said.

"Right s-s-sir... Sorry." the butler said and cleared his throat, as if to calm his nerves down "There h-has been a strange person seen near the g-gates." He didn't reply at first. Instead, he had a serious look on his face. "Explain" he said in a deep, emotionless voice. As if signalling the butler to continue.

"W-well..." the Butler stuttered at first but then he cleared his voice again to get his act together "H-he is young. Probably in his late teens. W-who came near the gates and just sat on the g-ground. Didn't do anything else."

A teen just sitting on the ground... Is this a joke?.. He thought. "And? What's so concerning about that" he asked. "I-i know it doesn't seem c-concerning." the butler said "But-" he was interrupted by his boss before he could finish his sentence. "Then why are you here disturbing me, For a silly issue."

The butler was sweating at this point but still, he spoke "T-the thing is... He hasn't moved from his p-place since the last 4 hours." This piqued his interest. A teen that hasn't moved from its place for Four hours. "Hasn't he been asked to just leave?" He asked.

"Yes we have." the butler said "Many of the men have tried to tell him to leave. But he hasn't replied. He just sits there quietly as if he is dead." He found this strange. He sat straight and put his feet on the floor. "And why didn't anyone try to drag him out?"

"W-we tried... But he didn't even budge. And he is just sitting there. It's a little unsettling sir." the butler said as he was sweating hard and visibly anxious. He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. He had lots of work to do. And he hated disturbances. "Looks like i have to deal it myself." he said in an irritated voice.

He walked across the room and toward the door. Before walking out he put on the long black trench coat that was hanging near the door. He put his hands in his pockets and walked outside. He walked down the stairs and toward the main gate. One of the bodyguards saw him and bowed down "Boss" he called out to him. He didn't reply and continued walking. The bodyguard caught upto him and walked beside him without saying anything.

He was walking straight ahead. With no change in his face. That was his normal facial expression all the time. Suddenly he was stopped by another guard who came infront of him with a nervous look on his face. The guard, with shaky legs kneeled down in front of him "B-boss..." he said nervously "He is-" the rest of his sentence was interrupted by the boss.

"Lead me to him" he said in an emotionless voice. The guard nodded and stood up immediately. He quickly walked towards the main gate. The boss followed him silently. As they walked toward the gate. They saw a figure sitting on the ground. Head down, not moving, eyes closed. The guard stopped and gestured silently towards the figure. The boss walked closer toward the boy. He was sitting in a strange position. He was sitting on the ground with his knees to his chest. Head down. The boss looked at him for a few seconds. He was breathing, And his body was moving very slightly as he breathed. But it seemed he was asleep.
