9 Nap! (4)
...
A few minutes after the incident at the bank, Alkeides and Torsten, continue to sit at one of the tables located at Grant-Start
Alkeides who is a little uneasy, looks at Torsten and with a doubtful face, asks
"Icarus is taking too long... Torsten, are you sure he'll be back? What if he just decides to flee?"
Torsten who is sitting next to him while slowly enjoying a glass of wine, looks at him and with a relaxed face responds
"Relax man! Icarus must be breaking his head to escape this situation. However, in the end, he will surely come back and for the first time, he will pay our bill! After all, Icarus is afraid of Danka, his little sister!"
After saying that, Torsten thinks with a strange face
'I will never understand what goes on in that guy's mind!
Who would say... Icarus, aka the Jester, one of the most feared and hated men in the underworld is actually being threatened by something silly like a call to his younger sister.
Hahaha... man, this is so insane! I don't think anyone would believe me if I told them that... the infamous Jester, who doesn't think twice before going to fight a group of armed gangsters while using only his hands.
Actually, fear as hell his own little sister! Sigh... Come on, that doesn't make sense! Okay, I know she is very good at fighting, but even so, how scary and dangerous can this girl really be?'
If Icarus heard about Torsten's thoughts he would respond to him with a serious face – "It's simple... at least against armed gangsters I still have a chance to survive! Against my sister on the other hand... Sigh!"
Seeing Torsten's carefree response, Alkeides finally relaxes a little and with a slightly more carefree expression he responds
"Hmm... I hope so..."
Alkeides' doubts about the success of this plan are not unfounded
After all, unlike Torsten who never lends money to Icarus, he has already lent money thousands of times to the same, and in none of those times, Icarus paid it back
Regardless of the method that Alkeides use to ask for the money back, every one of these times, Icarus finds a way to leave without return a penny to him
However, this isn't the worst part, the worst part happens when the two meet again, Alkeides asks for the money that Icarus owes him
However, Icarus always claims that he did not remember borrowing any money and therefore owes Alkeides nothing
Shortly after that, Icarus again borrows money from Alkeides, who promptly lends it, so this cycle is repeated
In a way, the biggest culprit of this cycle is Alkeides himself, who is very dumb and never learn the simple lesson of never lending money to Icarus
The two continue to sit waiting for Icarus to return, until they hear a commotion coming from outside the restaurant, followed by the noise of sirens
Hearing this, their expression changes instantly
They look at each other while thinking exactly the same thing
'This has to be related to Icarus!'
The two quickly get up, and run to the exit direction, halfway through; Torsten meets the waiter and with an expression of pain, he pays the bill
'Shit! In the end, I still had to pay the bill!'
After paying the bill, the two run to the exit of the restaurant
As soon as the two leave, they realize that police vehicles and ambulances surround the bank entrance
Seeing this, expression two gets uglier, and they quickly run to the bank entrance
However, before they manage to get into the bank a police officer stops them
"You two can't pass. This place is now a crime scene!"
Hearing this, veins appear on Alkeides' forehead, and full of rage he roars at the police officer
"Fuck! Let me pass, my friend is in there and I will knock each and every one that gets in my way!"
After that, he tries to attack the police officer, however, before he can continue, he feels his body being pulled down, followed by Torsten's cold voice
"Alkeides this is enough!"
Alkeides stop their actions completely and turn their attention to Torsten
"You shouldn't take your anger out on him. He's just following orders!"
"But... "
"I said that's enough!"
"Tsk! Okay... do your thing then!"
"Okay!"
After successfully calming the big guy, Torsten turns to the police officer and with an apology face, he says
"I'm sorry for the inconvenience, officer! My friend here is worried about our friend who is inside the bank!"
After saying this, Torsten walks over to the cop while touching his own communicator a few times
When he gets to the police officer side, he brings his communicator close to the officer's communicator
While the police officer is still confused, two notifications appear on his communicator's screen
[+10.000 have been successfully deposited to your account]
[+25.000 have been successfully deposited to your account]
Seeing this, the officer's eyes widen and while he is still distracted and confused by the situation, Torsten smiles and says in a low voice
"The first deposit is my most sincere apologies for my friend's actions! As the second is my thanks in advance, for the favor you are going to do for us!"
Hearing this, the police officer quickly understands the meaning of those words, so while he waves he says
"The two young masters can pass!"
After saying this, he lifts the yellow tape around the bank entrance so that the two can pass
Alkeides passes quickly without even looking at the man while snorting
"Hmmpf!"
On the other hand, Torsten looks at the police officer and with a sympathetic smile, he says
"Thanks!"
"N,no problem!"
As they walk to the bank door, Alkeides clicks his tongue and says
"Tsk! As always, your methods still work! However, mine would work too!"
Hearing this, Torsten who is no longer smiling and instead has a cold expression, replies with a sarcastic tone
"Sure, sure... and then what? You were going to be arrested, before even being able to get into the bank! My dear friend, please try to use your head more instead of your fists!"
Alkeides tries to answer, but soon realizes that Torsten is right and refrains from continuing the discussion
"I,I well... Sigh! Never mind!"
Seeing this, Torsten nods with satisfaction and decides to speed up the pace
It's kinda obvious that normal people wouldn't be able to be friends with a swindler like Icarus
After all, it's as they say, birds of a feather flock together, Alkeides and Torsten are far from normal
Alkeides' father controls most of the gangs that exist on the planet, since he was a child he learned how cruel the world is, he grew up surrounded by violence, blood and bullets
On the other hand, Torsten's parents are both famous politicians, so from an early age he learned how important money is in most people's lives; Torsten grew up surrounded by people who controlled others using promises and money
Both met Icarus, during one of his schemes, during the occasion they had some disagreements, but they eventually became inseparable friends
As soon as the two enter the bank they freeze, and their expressions go blank
Lying on the floor is a man in old, torn clothes - Icarus, his hair is all messed up
Although a large coat covers his body, the two still realize that one of his arms is missing
However, even in these conditions he continues with a carefree smile on his face
Looking around the two find another body with a large hole in the middle of the chest
Seeing this, the two quickly understand what happened and Alkeides clenches his teeth in anger as he screams
"Don't fuck me! You bastard, son of a bitch! Who the hell told you to play the hero? You should just remain the usual swindler!"
At that moment, Alkeides feels a kick in his leg followed by an angry voice
"Be quiet! Can't you see that Icarus is trying to take a nap?"
He quickly looks at the owner of the voice and realizes that it is just a child, who is looking at him with cheeks swollen with dissatisfaction
A woman quickly runs up to the kid and scolds him
"Pākiki! What a horrible thing to do!"
The woman then looks at Alkeides and while bowing slightly she says
"I'm sorry for that sir! Pākiki, apologize to the sir now!"
"But mom..."
"Pākiki, don't make me say it twice!"
"Okay... I'm sorry sir!"
Hearing the kid's apology, Alkeides' anger drains away and he responds with a calm voice
"It's okay... I also apologize for scream. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to do something else"
After saying that, Alkeides quickly leaves the Bank with long strides, full of frustration
Torsten also apologizes to the woman, looks at Icarus' face one last time, and as Alkeides, he leaves the Bank
As he leaves, he takes a piece of paper with a written numeric sequence from the pocket and with a complex expression he sighs and says
"Sigh! I didn't expect to have to use this for this!"
...
At the same time that Torsten does this, hiding in an alley is George, who, looking at the bank entrance, uses his wrist communicator. Then in a very natural and fluid way he types a long number on the communicator interface, as if he had already done this same action countless times
After calling the number and waiting exactly 30 seconds he hangs up the call
Immediately after he hangs up, his communicator starts ringing.
Seeing this he quickly answers the call. On the other end of the line, a man's voice answers
"Proceed with the report!"
"Understood! Today, approximately 1:39 PM, an assault on the Central Tebe Bank occurred, the subject 44 was present in this incident, due to certain circumstances, the subject 44 ended up suffering serious injuries, which led to his death! End of the report!"
Hearing this, the man is silent for a while, but he soon sighs and says
"Sigh! Understood! Agent 0-81379, as soon as this call is over, I want you to send me a full report of the incident as soon as possible!"
"Understood!"
"Agent 0-81379..."
"Yes sir?"
"Good job!"
"Thank you, but sir, this is just my mission!"
"I understand... For the order of the world!"
"For the order of the world!"
After hanging up the call, George looks at the Bank one last time, then sighs and goes back to the restaurant as say
"Sigh! It's a pity that he died!"
