The Lucky Ones [ III ]


"We were scared, that's normal, isn't it?" The trembling voice didn't fit Raf's pudgy frame.


"Still, you both had things to do. You left the store and the cash register while I was away." 


 "You don't know that. You were gone too. Where were you?" 


The two men in Hawaiian shirts lounged around again amongst the thin crowd. She knew they were the same people, Paladins, the Brit guy warned her about. She would know since there were only two kinds of people that came here today: ones who only saw themselves and the company they're with to have fun, and ones who only saw what was around them. 


It left her baffled whether they were stupid to be this conspicuous or they simply didn't care cause they knew they were powerful enough.

When she brought her head back up, Charlie called, "time," he tapped his watch. She didn't really have to adhere to that 'time' cause she was friends with him and the others who offered this cage-diving services, but she didn't want to ruin the business for them. 


Charlie pulled her back on the boat. She then bent down and helped drag up her cage companions.  


"That was so unreal!" 


"Yeah!" The customers exclaimed repeatedly once they got out of the water, as always. She smiled at Charlie and the others. They all knew how it was. One can never get sick of the exhilaration.


Having assisted the last group on the boat, they sped back to shore. 


-------


"There are others like you." 


She froze.


"The lucky ones."
