CHAPTER 17
BACK TO EACH OTHER'S PACE
Hinihipan ni Kean ang kaniyang mga kamay sa lamig. He is rushing back to the van when Winter advised him that he's changing his pick up point. He carried his bag properly where he just tossed his gun inside after making contact and helping Seymour from trouble.
Damn it, why does that boy attracts so much trouble when he just settled in two days? He complained.
"Woo, cold!" Kean groaned.
Nang makita ang van ng kambal ay tumakbo agad siya papunta roon at pumasok sa upuan sa tabi ng driver. Winter tossed warm pads towards him in which he gladly accepted and placed it on his cheeks.
"Man, Seymour attracts so much trouble in every part of this world. That kid seriously loves settling everything with a fight." Kean complained as he slumped back on his seat.
On the other hand, Winter is just leaning on the steering wheel while grinning.
Kean glanced at him. "Why are you looking like that?"
"So did you saved him?"Winter asked as he glanced at him.
Kean showed a disgust expression. "Of course."
Suddenly, a snake like arm entwined Kean's neck that made him stiff, because obviously, his neck is his weak point. The arm didn't strangled him like he expected for an attack, instead a light peck landed on his cheek.
"Thank you, Kean." A familiar voice said.
Napatalon si Kean nang makilala ang boses na iyon at nang nilingon ay lalo pa siyang nagulat nang makita si Seymour na nasa loob ng sasakyan kasama ang isang bata. Kean leaned on the dashboard while pointing at Seymour.
"W-Winter, why is he.."
Winter chuckled. "Welcome aboard."
"How did you---" Kean were stopped by Winter.
Earlier, Seymour advised Winter to be careful with his words as to not shock the kid with him. Dahil sa walang alam ang mga bagong tao sa paligid ni Seymour, ay mahalaga ang mag ingat sa kanilang pananalita.
"Halt die klappe. Wir werden spater nehmen." (Shut up. We'll talk later) Winter told Kean.
Kean fixed his jacket as he calmed down. Dinaanan niya ng tingin ang bata sa tabi ni Seymour at ibinalik ang tingin sa kaniya. Seymour is just watching him.
"Dein kind?" (Your child?) Kean asked.
Seymour frowned at him. "Arschfotze."
For a moment, the van fell silent.
Unknowingly, as Seymour remained alert and vigilant with the twin's sudden appearance. He is also curious on how Winter know the way back to the harbor. But since the presence of the uninvolved child is still here, their questions with each other remained hanging.
Nang makarating sila sa harbor ay inabisuhan nalang sila ni Seymour na huminto sa hindi kalayuan.
Bumaba na silang dalawa mula sa van habang ang kambal ay nasa loob pa rin. With the driver's seat window open, Seymour leaned on it.
"Stay here." He said through gritted teeth.
The twins flinched on their seat and with their trembling hands lifted up to their temples as they saluted at the raging lynx by the window who can not get mad at the presence of the kid.
"Y-Yes sir." The chorused.
Sa loob ng sasakyan ay pinanuod lang nila si Seymour at ang bata na lumapit sa isang mag asawa. Then the couple embraced the kid upon seeing it. The twins realized that the kid sneaked out of the house and dragged Seymour with him.
