Chapter 16_ He called the cops!

The moment Vidal jumped into LSR's window, the others rushed in the direction of the window, each person scurrying to find the best spots to stand right below the window.

They need not strain too much or work too hard to listen to the conversation going on inside. They all have elevated hearing, better than the normal limited human hearing senses.

When they heard Vidal speak about titties, Luna shook her head vigorously while the rest rather sigh or rolled their eyes. Except for August, of course, he grinned broadly like a mafia don does when he saw his money delivered.

"Vidal is hopeless" Luna said in irritation.

Everyone else found themselves agreeing with her but August took to his defense.

" A man is being so observant and executing his manly duties well yet, you call him hopeless? Have some spirit of appreciation milady" he scoffed.

" Your lady?" Amadio turned to him.

August knew how protective and possessive Amadio was regarding Luna and he raised his hands up in the air " Come on brother, what's yours is mine" he said to the Amadio who seemed to not be in the mood for play.

" It is almost a crime to take August's taunting seriously. Let it go" Farris held Amadio's arm and prevented him from moving closer to August. The aftermath of that wouldn't be nice.

Amadio being the calm person he was stepped back and resumed listening to the conversation going on inside LSR's room.

" The boy is just a stupid clueless young human. We are wasting our time" Fender grunted dismissively and made to walk away when he heard LSR mention he was the victim of the hit and run.

Simultaneously, they all grew bulging eyeballs and exchanged glances.

" That was him?!" Calliope blurted out barely keeping her voice low.

The look Farris shot her after was deadly " Keep it low" he cautioned then he addressed them all together. " Now, we listen. We will discuss what needed to be discussed later in our abode" he met all their eyes one after the other to make sure they understood his seriousness.

They all nodded while Calliope gave him a thumbs up.

It did not take about two minutes after before Vidal jumped down the window.

Luckily, they heard when he told LSR he was going to leave his filthy room. That prompted them of his return and they had already moved fairly away from the window side in time enough for Vidal to land on the vacant ground.

No one wanted Vidal jumping on their heads or shoulders.

" You are all here" Vidal smirked, surprised he had left them some yards away and met them right where they stood now.

Rune was the first to talk, she knew there was a difference between sending Vidal off on an assignment and urging him to let out the information he gathered.

The Vidal who was always forced to go on an assignment would return with so much pride and reluctance to spill whatever information he found out.

They have already heard everything that was discussed by Vidal and LSR but Rune thought it would be more practical to know of the young man's countenace too. If at all the boy was hiding anything, his eye would sell him out.

So.. " Vidal, what do you think? Is he hiding anything?" She asked him.

As expected, " Oh please, allow a man who only returned from a mission rest" he tapped his forehead, feigning tiredness.

Rune rolled her eyes and shook her head irritatingly. Nothing would make Vidal stop being Vidal.

" Come on, you call that a mission?!" Gizem growled. She was the one who always had little patience for Vidal and August's insolences. She had little patience for basically everything.

August moved closer to his friend, knowing the others were on a edge and should not be messed around with right now. He tapped his shoulders three times " Let's give them the grace of this one my dear hero, let's be generous now tell us" he advised.

Vidal and August were quite the same with their personalities barely differing and one would do whatever the other said.

Vidal nodded and then with a frown.. " The boy is just a normal stupid disabled human. Although I found it strange he was the one who tried to break in our house and got hit plus he has various drawings in his house. Some of them suspicious, some not. The most questionable one of all was his drawing of Rune in her original form" he said.

"Which drives us to the conclusion to still keep an eye on him and be wary of him nonetheless" Farris concluded and they all had to agree.

" He's moving, Is he coming out?" Rune let out suddenly and they all turned to her. " The boy, he's moving. I thought you said he's disabled" She queried Vidal.

Vidal tapped his one of his feet on the floor and pressed merged his lips together " When I give facts, I give legit facts dear Rune. The lad is on a wheelchair, he could wheel himself anywhere" he told her sternly.

" Okay, okay, I get what you mean. Tis no cause for brawl" Rune bellowed.

Vidal and pride..!

Luna held Amadio's hand " Let's all move away from here before he comes out" she announced, walking back now but Farris stopped her.

"If he is coming out after seeing the note, it means he knows something and wishes to talk. We will wait and interrogate him"

Luna stopped in her tracks and turned to Farris " But this we are doing is wrong. He comes out, and finds us in front of his window, acting all sneaky and suspicious then he sends the cops blaring their sirens ready to arrest us. That's the outcome of staying behind" she fumed.

Luna was the type to play by the rules and doesn't support immorality or outlaw actions.

Amadio knew Farris was right, they couldn't take any more chances. " Luna, let's just obey Farris" he said pleadingly to his woman who seemed like she wanted none of their imposing on LSR's privacy.

She sighed and pointed her finger at each one of them " This will be the last time we act the bad guys okay?" She presented as a question but it sounded more like an order.

" Yes my beloved" Amadio was the only one who answered her. The others only stood, awaiting LSR emergence from the house.

After waiting for minutes without LSR coming out of the house, they heard his movers back in the room.

" He was not coming out all along?" Fender scoffed " This rat has no time for this" he said and walked back to their burnt haven house when he heard Luna's gasp.

He turned in time to see LSR head shot out of his window frame then heard the loud noises that followed the boy's massive stumbling and falling.

" Ouch, that must hurt" he remarked with a corner of his face squeezed, and then, he jogged back to the others. " What's going on?" He inquired immediately.

Calliope seemed amazed by everything "

Oh man, don't know. Dude looked out his window, saw us and went tumbling. He is one funny being, I tell you" she said, her neck still turning up and her gaze fixated on LSR's room.

.

Rune did not know why she felt so bad and think they had made the poor boy that way. " I will go help him out. He must be in pain right now" she addressed the others and before they could either oppose or agree with her, she jumped on the window and went into LSR's room.

She was right, he was in pain. She found him wriggling in pain on the floor. His hand on one of his legs, his teeth gritted and moans of pain escaping his mouth. The sight made her heart skipped a beat. She had to gulp down a chunk of spit on her throat to be able to speak at all.

" Hey" she said gently and rushed to him. She removed the hand he placed on his wounded leg and placed hers on it. She felt for the injuries that led to him being allocated to a wheelchair and saw his bones were badly injured. Her pity for him grew after making that discovery. They could help him and if they couldn't, they knew those who could but sadly, they would not. They don't get involved with humans and helping a disabled human walk would birth questions. From him and the other people around. So, for peace and from their past experiences, they don't mix with humans. At least not too closely.

"Hey" he replied her, his voice stable contradicting the pain she knew he was in. However, she thought his voice sounded pleasing to her ears. A rare phenomenon in years on earth. Years that were coming to an end soon if she did not meet her cure.

She was surprised he was not questioning her for coming into his room uninvited and also coming through the window.

She was lost in thoughts about the human in front of her that she forgot to move her hand away from his leg. " What are you doing?" She heard him say and she brought her eyes to meet his.

" Your hand.. my leg. You are caressing my leg" he told her.

She knew he was stammering because he was trying to ask politely.

' Checking how broken your wounded leg is' was the correct reply to his question but.. " Sorry" she smiled and moved her hand away from his leg. " Allow me help you up" she finally said and he seemed skeptical.

" You folks did this to me" he suddenly said. Whatever politeness he was trying to muster earlier was thrown into the mud.

Now, she didn't like this part of him. What did they do to him?

" We did nothing to you " she stated with a frown.

He looked at her quietly at first before speaking out " Yes, you did. First, you sent a crazy pervert to break into my house then he gave me a weird note, and then I found you, folks, all gathered by my window like late-night thieves. What do you want?!" he was getting impatient, she noted.

She knew the others were hearing all he was saying and she could also hear their protest when he mentioned they were gathered like late-night thieves. "It is not how it looks like. We only come seeking answers from you" she interjected.

" Answers to what? What do you mean by that note? Was I supposed to know anything?!" he was on the edge now and she saw the frustration in his voice up to the extent that his saliva was getting all over her face as he yelled.

Before she could give a reply, she heard the police siren blaring right outside. She also heard Gizem shout from outside. " Get out Rune, the bastard called the cops!"
