Mr. Walker

The next morning I headed off to the XX Training Center again. Leo was still fast asleep when I headed out. When I arrived at the center, the person I talked to yesterday showed up at the front door waiting for me.

"It's great to see you again, Hunter." The person said in a pleased tone.

"Mr. Walker." I replied.

We headed to a normal office located somewhere inside the training facility. The office was completely empty, with the only office supplies being there being a desk and two chairs. I sat on the chair across from Mr. Walker. Mr. Walker sat down and simply smiled at me.

"How may I help you today, Hunter?" Mr. Walker asked.

"There are 3 things that I would like your help with." I stated.

"Go on."

"First. My father told me when he left that he will be back home in two weeks. It's been three weeks now and he still isn't home. Where is he?"

"I'm afraid I can't tell you your father's location since the mission he is currently participating in is classified." Walker continued smiling. I found that smile to be very annoying. "However, I can decisively say that he will be back soon."

"How soon?"

"Soon." Mr. Walker reiterated. He looked like he did not want to continue on with this topic.

"Fine. Second thing. I want you to make a person called Joseph Parks confess that he committed the crime of arson this Tuesday on my school's campus."

Mr. Walker raised an eyebrow, "Did he actually commit the crime?"

"Yes he did. But I know he would not admit it. Please make him admit to his crimes and absolve Leo from all the accusations against him." I also briefly narrated to him my investigations from the previous few days.

"And how would you like me to do that, Hunter?" Mr. Walker asked, still smiling.

"I don't care how you make Joseph Parks talk and I don't care what methods are used. For the situation with Leo, you can get a signed affidavict from Parks stating that he committed the crime and post it all over the social media, the school online forum and our school board. Any other methods are fine as well as long as Leo won't get slandered again. Oh and absolve Leo a few days before the Student Council elections, I want to obtain some guilt votes from the students."

"Wow, you are very decisive, Hunter." Mr. Walker joked. "Ok. Consider it done. What else?"

"I want you to..."

After giving out my 3 requests, it is time for me to face something unpleasant: compensation.

"Mr. Walker, how would you like me to pay you back for your services?" I asked.

"With your body." Mr. Walker licked his lips and said pervertedly.

"That's all?"

"I was joking! I was joking!" Mr. Walker raised his palms up in defeat. "God, you can't take a joke, can you? Just like your father."

Mr. Walker then turned serious. "You will owe me 2 favors. I can cash in those favors anytime I want. Is that alright with you?"

"That's fine, but I must know what the favors are at least a day before I commit to it. I must also have the power to refuse your favors if I decided that they're not beneficial to myself." I reasoned.

"Deal." Mr. Walker smiled. He took out his right hand. I raised my right hand in tandem and we both shook our hands. "May we have a pleasant partnership."

"Don't jinx it." I snorted.

After I finished my training and returned home, I found Leo working on my computer. He was posting things repeatedly all over the social media. When he found me staring at the computer, he said. "You did well in the debate yesterday." Leo complimented.

"It would have been better if you were up there." I replied.

"Mhm. Don't worry, I won't fall for a trap again." Leo puffed out his chest, acting brave.

I rolled my eyes and ruffled his hair.

"Also, you will protect me right, since I am yours." Leo teased.

"Stop. I only said that to stop that ugly bastard from speaking." I said.

"Whatever you say, Hunter." Leo smirked, acting as if he did not believe me.

After surfing the net for awhile, he said to me, "I think we can get second at the primaries on Monday."

I nodded. "I think so too."

"Although I was caught in that arson scandal, I think that the lower year students would still prefer a junior representing them than that jackass and his corrupt father. Also, Mike would need to wrestle the votes with the upper years." Leo reasoned. "However, we will still be blown back from being a frontrunner due to the damage of my popularity."

*************

We stopped talking about the future elections and headed down to play some video games. Afterwards, I cooked dinner for both of us and we headed off to sleep.

The next day, as I promised Leo I would go on a date with him, I reluctantly dressed up. I wore and black blazer with a white and blue a striped shirt and navy blue long khaki pants. I also brought a pair of sunglasses that was originally worn by my father. I gelled my hair to make it look more stylish and cut my fingernails.

Leo, meanwhile, headed back to his house to prepare as well. When I was finally done dressing up, he was already standing at my front entrance. I stared at Leo. He was wearing a white t-shirt that says: "I <3 Hunter" With the words being in black print and the heart in red. He wore a grey-colored damaged jeans and a N*ke A*r M*x.

"Let's go!" Leo said excitedly. I was pulled along by his hand.

We took a coach bus and headed to an amusement park filled with different attractions. Leo, who was a big fan of rollercoasters, immediately lined up for the most frightening-looking one, which had a huge initial drop and three circular loops and a final even longer drop. I, however, did not like to ride the rollercoaster but I was forced to come along anyway.

Leo started screaming as soon as the rollercoaster rushed downwards. His scream along with countless others and the sound of the wind completely caused me to become deaf. The unpleasant motion of swaying made me close my eyes.

After the ride, Leo wanted to go again but I forced him away, stating, "Why don't we take a look at the other attractions first."

Leo pouted but he complied. We later bought some cotton candy to eat, although most of them were eaten by Leo. Afterwards, we played the spinning teacup ride. I don't really get motion sick due to my training so I didn't feel anything during the ride, making me feel quite bored. Leo, however, was gladly enjoying the spins, shouting, "Hunter! My head is spinning!"

Later, we went to a haunted house. I originally hope this would bring me some enjoyment, but I was quickly disappointed. Leo and I walked inside, hearing the creepy soundtrack being blasted from somewhere and blood stains coated on the walls. However, since I've seen real blood stains before, the coatings here just look fake. The first monster that approached us suddenly was a ghost. Leo saw the ghost, but insted of crying, he laughed. "Pfft." Leo tried his best to stop laughing but failed. "Hunter! Hahahaha! The ghost's face is so funny! I'm dying!" He grabbed his stomach and gasped for breath. I rolled my eyes, feeling sorry for the employee behind the ghost.

We then saw a less than appealing serial killer who was carrying a chainsaw with both his hands, his whole body covered in blood. Leo yawned. "I'm bored, can we get out of here?" Leo asked.

"Rawwah! I'm going to kill you!" The serial killer roared.

"Okay. Whatever. Hunter, let's go." Leo nudged me.

I made an apologetic smile to the serial killer and continued walking. We then faced an ugly looking witch. The witch made a rotten laugh, stating, "Ooh! Fresh meat! I'm going to turn all of you into frogs and slice you up to pieces to make soup!"

"Oh, it must be terrible having that face." Leo made a face of sympathy. "It will be hard for you to get a boyfriend."

The person in the witch suit wanted to hit the customer.

I pushed Leo along to the exit.
