"Ehem" I clear my throat to make my presence acknowledged by the bastard who has been doing my work insufferable for years.
"Oh hey, Malc" he says without even looking at me properly "how have you been? Busy? Hope that I'm not the only you hunting for the reward" laughed.
This fucker.
"When did I gave you permission to call me Names? You know what? I d c " I approach him from behind and take him from the arm. Is easy to move him: he's very skinny. "You coming with me anyways tell me in the way there"
"No, no, no! Wait Malc-Malcolm" he tries to stop me from pulling him, but he's so weak, I stop from pity "There's something more valuable than anything they offered you! Please let me explain!"
"Yeah you bet" I pull him once again. He tries to pull back.
"Just...Hear me...YOU FUCKING MORON" he thens hits me in my knee and I accidentally let him go then he pulls my arm and puts his knee on my back. Is that supposed to not make me move? "Look, I don't want to hurt anybody and I'm sure you don't want that either"
"Are you sure about that champ?" Even tho I was facing the floor hes not as heavy as other prays. It's so easy that it makes me even more frustrated that I couldn't do this earlier. I get up and I feel how he just gets away from me. I assume a offensive position.
"Mal, really you don't want to do this. Is just a minute before the gate opens. In that moment you can forget about me. Please, just forget me. You won't be able to catch me"
What the hell is he saying in such a urgent tone?
"What do you mean the gate will open? What's in there?"
"You need to listen to me and put your weapons down" he said putting his hands in front of him. I hadn't noticed before how many scars he had on his body. Not that I really cared but were them because of me?
I hesitate a little bit. But I have been waiting for this momen a long time so, what would a few more minutes do?
I put my gun down.
"Well?"
He sighs in relief
"You may find this really difficult to swallow but this gate...is the only way I can go back to my time"
"Your time? Now you're a time traveler?" I laughed while he stared at me with a frown on his face "ok I've heard enough let's go lunatic. No wonder your reward is such a 10 digit monster" I start moving towards him and he moves backwards.
"I'm not lying, Malcolm" his tone wasn't one of liars. Why? "I'm the only one who can lead them here. That's why 10 digits. Please listen to me." He looked worried at the little door in the floor. "My body is starting to resent me being here. Look at me ffs! White hair? Skinny af? This scars were made by them for me to get this info out! Please just go before it's too late. You don't care about me, but I do care about you!"
"And my 10 digit reward? Do you even know how much I could do with that kind of money? Of course not. You're mad!" Now I really started to move towards him with the weight of my whole body making the floor crack as I walked " You're coming with me, Roahn" I terminated.
Then In the moment that I grabbed him by his shirt, the floor crumbled. The walls gradually but an insane speed started to get weird patterns. The world felt so light like in a dream. Then the colors in the walls changed to a pitch black and the world got heavier. My head was crunched by the space. I let go.
"WTF IS HAPPENING?!" I screamed looking at him. Roahn wasn't affected by it. He didn't feel it?
"I TOLD YOU TO GO! FUCK! I'LL GO NOW. IF I DONT IT WILL KILL YOU!" His worried look about me got me sick. I tried to grab him. I won't let go my 10 digits.
"WHY ARE YOU...! HERE HAVE THIS SEARCH FOR THE NEXT GATE! IT WILL ONLY OPEN TO THE ONE WHO HAS THIS" he explained as he handed me a collar of a...nut?
"Search me in the future Malc. I'll try to explain it better. Until then keep that away from everyone! Good luck!"
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST SAY?" My view was getting bad. It hurts. IT HURTS! "COME BACK!" Don't go leaving me with that bullshit!" ROAHN!!" I screamed in vain he was disappearing into the pitch black his white hair getting tinted by the darkness.—–
I woke up in an ambulance feeling like I was in a car accident. What was that weird dream? Roahn, gave me a collar. I opened my hand and there it was: a nut like thing attached to a little rope.
He said that there's something more valuable than whatever they offered me. But what can surpass 10 digits?
The next gate? Where could that be? I must find that fucker.
