68. Bad Dream

Javin didn't understand why, but ever since what happened on that hill, Forth seemed to be avoiding him.

"Is the project very busy, Phi?" Javin asked Shone who had come to the clinic that day to collect vitamins for the workers.

"Not too busy actually, because we've run out of cement and the producers haven't been able to ship it yet due to problems with their delivery system. We're keeping some workers off until the day after tomorrow, while waiting for Forth to come back."

Javin's eyebrows rose a few centimeters. "While waiting for Forth to come back? What do you mean, Phi?" asked Javin confused.

Shone was shocked. "Didn't he say anything?" Shone asked back.

Javin was even more confused. He shook his head. "Forth came home because something happened to his uuh... nephew. He'll be back the day after tomorrow."

"Why didn't he tell me about that at all?" muttered Javin.
