CHAPTER 16

Kids now days are very strange, how can someone be so careless as to lead himself to acquiring such injuries he is lucky he didn't brake his spinal code and put himself in a wheelchair for life. I know Alex said Yan had nothing to do with it but I still find it hard to believe after all I did raise the kid up.

I should really get to the bottom of this coz nothing is adding up maybe I should squeeze the truth out of them well Yan mostly Alex is still fragile. I am starting to wonder if it was a really good idea to leave Alex under the care of Yan's without knowing what the situation was and knowing about Yan's short temper I should look for the medication faster and get back to them just to be safe.

In days like this is when I wish I had cleaned the car or made Yan do it. This was an emergency but I couldn't see anything due to the trash pile up in the car floor. Am starting to question how did I ever get to maneuver the car coz the brakes were buried under the pile of candy rappers packets of chips and various take out packages.

After several agonizing minutes of looking through what I would consider weeks old garbage I found the medication which happened to be under a mouldy piece of old grilled cheese sandwich. This is Yan's doing he's the one who's obsessed with eating that staff if it wasn't for his regular work out that boy would be carrying around and extra 100 pounds.

I locked the car and made my way back into the school building when I was stopped by someone shouting my name and when I turned around it was none other than my buddy Mike but he was not accompanied by the rest of the crew nor the garbage truck he was on his motorcycle which was odd since he was supposed to be ridding with the rest.

"Hey Mike what's up? and where is everyone else?"

"Chris, we need your help, The roads in this area are fucking terrible and the garbage trucks are not in good shape. One hit a porthole on the road and got its wheel punctured and the idiots did think to carry a spare, The second one drove into a ditch to avoid hitting the truck in front of it and now its stuck. Luckily the ditch ain't that deep we just need more people to help push it out then it will be good to go.

" Then why are you here instead of there helping out?"

" I came to ask you if you still had your old tool box that could help us change the old tire when keith brings the new one. So do you have it?"

"Mike am really starting to believe there I'd a part of you brain is missing. If that's the only thing you wanted to know you should have just called no need to drive all the way here."

"Oh! I didn't really think of that hahaha!" is he being real right now? I really need to knock him on the head maybe it will help with what ever is wrong with him.

"Well we still need extra mam power in moving the second truck so are you coming or what?"

I looked at the medication in my hand I really needed to get it to the boy and I couldn't leave him in that condition but we really need the money. As much as I didn't like the idea I will have to leave Alex under Yan's care and maybe if I threatened him enough he wouldn't give Alex a hard time when am gone. Hope am making the wright decision trusting Yan.

"Give me a minute I will be right back"

I hurried my way through the corridor into the nurse's room. "Yan I need you to..." Alex woke up in an instant which made me worried that he might have hurt himself some more.

"Sorry about that Alex I didn't mean to startle you. I didn't know you were a sleep so where's Yan? I thought I told him to look after you."

"Who?" he was looking at me as if I asked if the sun rises from the north and sets in the south.

Oh, how stupid can I be no wander his looking at me like that. I actually introduced Yan as Chris.

" I mean Chris. Yan is his second name I like to use it coz I think it's cute especially when I call him Yan-yan he hates it but that his on issue I like it and that's the only thing that matters. So where did you say he was again?"

" He went to the bathroom but he will be back soon" I could tell he was not telling me the truth and covering for Yan but that's the least of my concern right now but on the bright side they seem to be getting along pretty well to even to conspire together to lie to me which means I don't have to worry about leaving them in each others company.

" Okay, When he gets back please tell him that there was an emergency with the garbage truck and I had to go and help them out. If he needs anything or you need any thing don't hesitate to call me and if you can't reach me Yan can take the truck and come and find me he will know where to look for me. Okay? then am gonna take my leave "

The boy gave me a small wave on my way out he really seems like a good boy I wonder where he met someone like Yan but since they already know each other I hope he won't let Yan's bad altitude and mouth influence him. I made haste to where Mike was waiting on his motorcycle and hoped onto the back.

"Hey what are you doing? You have your own transportation why are you impounding on mine?"

" Shut up and just drive before the bottom of my shoe meets your face."

" So did my uncle say anything to you? I just saw him walk down the hall as if he was in a hurry."

"Wouldn't you like to know Yan-yan."
