Mission Number One Part 3

I only own my OC's!

"I think it's about time we paid Mister Hamilton a visit." And with those words, Clover, Alex and I ran out of the empty theatre.

"It's supposed to be this street?" Alex asked once we were walking down a street in Chicago this time. Clover nodded while looking at an address Jerry had given us. "Number 54." She read aloud, making me look around.

There were many numbers, but... There was no 54. Well, it made sense, considering we were at the beginning of the street! "This is number 5." I pointed at a house on our right. "Then the shop will be on our left." Alex pointed at the opposite direction before we started walking forward in search of the shop.

"This is it. Number 54." Clover looked at the address again before looking up at the shop. I frowned while observing the building. The shop was called 'Hamilton's bestest games'. It looked like a modern video game shop would look like, it had glass door, it looked clean and tidy....

I started walking towards the door, Clover and Alex right behind me. After I had opened the door, I held them for the girls so they could enter too. I then finally decided to look around. The shop was huge from inside. I swear to God, I've never seen so many shelves with video games! What was even funnier, there were stairs leading to another floor!

There were also some stairs leading to what I presumed was the cellar. "I've never seen so many video games in my life." Alex gaped. "Hearing that coming from you means something." Clover couldn't help smirking a bit. "You don't have to remind me of that." Alex told her with a frown. I was pretty much clueless about the situation until the girls noticed it.

"Alex had a boyfriend once who liked athletics and video games at the same time. His shelves were filled with them!" Clover explained. "Except that most of them were about boxing." Alex said dryly. I smirked a bit in amusement but said nothing. Even though it could be said I had a better idea of what martial arts were, I just didn't see the point of boxing and wrestling...

Uncle Angus watched it sometimes, but he claimed he watched only when everything else on TV was boring. 'Lilette, please, where did you get that idea? That I like boxing? I watch it only when everything else on TV is boring!' My Uncle's voice was echoing in my head, making me roll my eyes.

"Good afternoon." A voice said, making me look up. A man with short black eyes and green eyes was standing in front of us, observing us with a frown. "Good afternoon." I quickly responded. "You're here for video games?" He asked hastily, making me raise an eyebrow. The way he said it, it was like he was practically dying for someone to come and buy all those games...

"Actually..." Clover started. "Yes! We came to see video games!" Alex and I exclaimed at the same time. "Great! Now what would you like to see?" A wide grin was suddenly on the man's face. "Well, you see...." Alex started talking to him. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Clover whispered to me. "Um, I don't know what you're thinking." I whispered back honestly.

Clover sweat dropped but quickly shook her head. "Someone could distract him while we're looking through the shop." She explained in a whisper, making me nod in understanding. "You and Alex have a better chance of finding something. I'll distract him." I told her quietly before walking to the man just as Clover grabbed Alex by her hand.

"Actually," I started. "Do you have boxing or wrestling games? My Uncle loves them!" I exclaimed enthusiastically with a grin. I just hoped I sounded convincing... "Well why didn't you say so?!" The man grinned as widely as me. And I had to be honest; he looked a bit creepy now... But I couldn't think about that now. If Alex and Clover were busted, we'd be fucking dead!
