Never Trust A Human (Reader x Lloyd) Re-done

Ch.4

 

  Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon. Hated by most, loved by few. Bullies would beat him up, people would curse at him, and nuns would make a cross sign over their torso and mutter prayers in Latin when he walks by. (Seriously?) The entire city spits on the floor he and his family walk on. Literally.

  "Spawn of the devil!"

  Some random guy yelled as he drove passed the blonde. He wore a simple green hoodie with a black pair of pants. He shrugged of the insult and kept on walking. Everywhere he went, people would either frown at him, or laugh at him. But Lloyd was used to it. Most times he wouldn't even go out of the monastery or his apartment unless he was dressed up as the Green Ninja. But today he was on a mission.... again. His uncle came back late last night. Somewhere around 3. And he wasn't in the happiest of moods. That mood tripled in 5.3 seconds (according to Zane) and made everyone search the entire monastery from top to bottom for a letter with a broken seal on it.

  And when it couldn't be found, Wu told his nephew where he had gone, and that he wants Lloyd to go find it. Whatever's in the letter, must be important enough to make Wu lose his top. So here was Lloyd keeping his hood over head, and walking down the sidewalk on the South side of the city looking for something called 'Dying Gull's Bar'? Something like that. What was Uncle Wu doing here? Lloyd thought to himself as a mother and her kid walked in his direction. When the mom saw his face inside the hood, she quickly gasped. She immediately  stopped in her tracks.

  "Come on sweetie, let's go to the fro-yo store, huh?" She said to her kid as she started walking (running) in the other direction. The woman held onto her son's arm as he said. "Fwo-yo! I wike fwo-yo."

  Lloyd rolled his eyes and looked around. He didn't see any signs saying anything about a rat bird's bar. A man walked out from the shop Lloyd was standing next to.
 
  "Um... excuse me. Could you-"

  The man's face paled the second he saw the lost boy. "Aahh! Lloyd Garmadon, please don't hurt me," then he started to take off whatever jewelry he had. "Here, take my watch, a-and my wallet too."

  He tossed it at Lloyd. And since he was a ninja, he easily caught it. Then the man ran back inside. The sign that was on the window was switched from 'Yes, we're open' to 'sorry, we're closed.' The depths people will do to avoid him. But Lloyd should've seen this coming. He really should've. He left the wallet next to the door and kept on walking. Guess he's gonna have to find the place on his own.

  He took a turn down a random street. The reason he thinks it's random was because the street sign name was spray painted over so nobody could see the name. There was a café, pizza place, bookstore, two apartments, and an unfinished building. But no bar. Lloyd noticed that there was a hobo in an alleyway between the unfinished building and the apartment.

  "Hey, uh... you wouldn't happen to know where the 'Dying Gull's Bar' is at, do you?" The uncomfortable teen asked. Lloyd mentally prayed that this guy doesn't know his face.

  The hobo looked up at him with red eyes. He had a dirty beanie, a long unclean brown coat, and a grey beard with crumbs in it. He was sitting next to a couple of trash cans that he's probably already gone through.

  "Why you wanna go there? You look too young to waste yer life." He finally asked

  "My uncle thinks he's lost something there, and he sent me to go get it. "

  The hobo put his head down and said nothing. Lloyd thought he'd fallen asleep, until his hand shot out. Pointing at the direction Lloyd had just came from. "Keep going that way, when you see the cow diner, you take a right. If you pass a statue of a dragon, that means you've gone too far."
