The World Across

Chapter 1.10

"What did you say?!" Amilia is boiling in anger. "Are you insane?!"

"Whoa, whoa. What's going on??" Seth just stepped into the room and found the two arguing on something.

"Tell you something you don't know. Lyndon just got us invited into a teen's party." Amilia half shouted.

"A party? Where?" Seth asked a little bit worried.

"It's in the woods, near some old cemetery." Lyndon answered calmly.

"Are you sure about this? Aren't you suppose to know if the girl is who we are looking for?" Seth said.

"How will I earn her trust if I won't be her friend? How can I observe her acts if I won't be at her side, if possible all the time? I don't want this job to fail, but I don't wanna be just a creepy neighbor who stalks and suddenly grab her to come to us." He explained. "And besides, won't we look ordinary if we join those teens?"

"Well . . . you have a point. And it's very logic . . . Okay, I'll allow this things." Seth agreed. "But Lyndon, please be careful about this things, we are not suppose to expose who we are. We should watch our moves to be fully guarded."

"I'll assure you that. It's her I'm not sure about." Then he looked to Amilia.

"What would you expect?? I never really had the chance to minggle other than my own kind." She defended herself.

"Okay. Just make sure not to be caught off guard." Seth said. "And I will just be around watching over you two."

"Where are you going?" Dave asked to her daughter, Sa5m when he saw her dressed up after dinner.

"To a party dad." Sa5m said while putting on her earrings.

"Does your mother know about this?"

"Yep."

"Will there be drinks?"

"Yes, of course? Like punch and sodas?" Sa5m said a matter-of-factly.

"What time are you coming home?"

"Around midnight or before?"

"Who are you goung with?"

"Dad? Is this an interview??" Sa5m whinned and went pass her dad. "I've gone to hundreds of parties already and we still are doing this routines??"

"I'm sorry." Dave followed her daughter. "It's just that, I'm worried that something might happen to you out there."

"Dad, nothing will happen to me. Okay?" Sa5m assured and they heard the buzzer of there doorbell.

"Okay sweetie. Just come home safely."

"I will dad." And they both walked their way to the door

"Who will drive my princess tonight?" Dave asked.

"You'll see." Sa5m said.

And few more steps, they reached the door. Dave opened it and by surprise he saw who is outside.

"Good evening sir." Lyndon said with a deep voice.

"Mark Lyndon Anderson?" He asked. "Our neighbor?"

"Yes dad. I thought that they need to socialize in order to have friends at school. See there?" Sa5m pointed on the white mercedes car next to black one."That's his sister, Amilia."

"I see." Dave nodded. "Okay, have fun you kids. And please drive Sa5m safely home, okay boy?"

And Lyndon smiled with a short nod.
