Illegal Life (Kaitou Joker Fanfic)

Part 14

Part 14 : Zoo Visit with Morons (2)

"So that men over there are trying to capture you three?" Hyakkimaru asked, understand the situation even further.

"Yes. So try be cautious with people around us. I doubt the boss would only sent two of her people only."

Hyakkimaru clenched on the scarf harder, afraid that he might fall off from the boy "Shouldn't we tell the police? I mean, this is illegal organisation, surely they will help," the ninja suggested. But the other rejected.

"Can't. Some of them works for the organisation," Vernon explained, passing by a group of children (that maybe in a school trip) "We went to your village at the first place was also because the chances of being caught there low. And if even there are someone working for them secretly," Vernon glanced at the small man before looked back at the front "I knew someone like you would trace them easily."

You can never underestimate the redhead ninja.

Hyakkimaru huffed, a bit proud "Glad you noticed that. Your sister told me once you hates village places. Surprise that you don't look down on me."

"I hates villages, but that doesn't mean I will underestimate the villagers. Or anyone."

They continued walking until realised that they were standing (well Vernon was) in front of a shop. The shop sell souvenirs, snacks and drinks. Vernon entered the shop and quickly when to the snacks isle.

"Why are we here?"

"I'm hungry."

"God damnit, Vernon."

He grabbed two packets of chips potatoes, different brands "...which one should I choose?"

"Wut? Can't you just, take both?"

"No. It'll be troublesome to carry two chips bags while running away," he responded, eyes still glued at the two snacks.

"... don't the shop provide plastic bag?"

Vernon lower down the chips with realisation in his eyes "Oh."

Hyakkimaru facepalmed.

The grey hair boy then take the two chips bags and walked to the counter, because he needs to pay (duh). The counter worker, who was a lady who was busying herself chatting on her phone while looking at her pink coloured nails. Hyakkimaru crunched his nose when he saw her.

'Teenagers this day. Too busying themselves with their gadgets more than their works.'

(Remember children ; no matter where you work, please focus on your job. Especially in the middle of work. This note is for me)

Vernon placed the chips and knocked the counter table, telling the lady to get back focus on her job and quickly take his money because he was on the middle of escaping. The worker lady snapped away from her phone and her gaze moved to Vernon. The mini ninja already hide in Vernon's scarf.

In a second the lady's face crunched in annoyance "Urgh what do you want?" she snarled. Hyakkimaru won't hesitate to give her a piece of mind if it wasn't for his current condition.

Instead of answering her by words, Vernon pointed at the chips on the table. She noticed and sighed, bringing her phone closer to her face "Sorry girl, some loser just bothering me. I'll be right back."

The red hair ninja peeked from the dark blue scarf. He glared at the female worker who was scanning Vernon's choice of snacks. Vernon on the other hand just focusing on the chips, like it was the most fragile thing on Earth.
