Old Man Barnes' POV
"Hey, are all the preparations ready yet Barnes?" Dave asked me as we sat in the Rise House drinking rum, two beauties holding onto him caressing his muscular chest. I clicked my tongue how come this ass here always gets the girls while I get a lowly maid that I practically had to beg for.
"Yea, She's eleven now and Sophie agreed to buy 'er fer twenty silver coins," I glared at Dave hatefully as he groped one girl and she let out a sweet alluring moan.
"Good, as we agreed we split the money fifty-fifty," He laughed
"Yea, Yea," Just then Sophie came out with a man covered in black head to toe.
"Barnes, just as we agreed I'll collect the girl tomorrow, this guy will show up about beforehand to give you payment and we'll take her from there," Sophie stated as she took a puff from her cigar pipe.
"Kay, but who's he? Oh, and isn't that girl's birthday tomorrow?" Dave caressed the thigh of one of the girls while groping the other.
"None of your concern," The man clothed in black answered
"Oh yeah, it is ain't it!" Barnes replied to Dave's second question
"I'm surprised by how much she has grown already, I will stop by and have a little taste when she starts serving," Dave licked his lips
"Ok, it's late, you should leave now once you're done with those girls," After Sophie said that she left with the man in tow.
The Day Of The Exchange-
"Is she coming?" The man in black asked.
"She should be here soon. I told her to meet me here tonight," I told the mysterious man in a cloak in a hoarse voice.
"You're sure she'll show up right?"
"I'm positive I've been caring for her for a year, she thinks of me as her grandfather," I reassured the man and held my grey beard in my hands. "She's a fool, she blindly trusts me and must think I'm here to throw her a surprise party," I laughed and ended up choking on my saliva and had to cough to clear my throat.
"Yeah, and she really thinks of me as a master or uncle," Dave chimed in
I heard crunching noises in the distance and looked over and saw Indi who had grown taller and although she didn't fill in yet she had grown more slender. Her legs were long and smooth, while her hair had grown to her waist and was much silkier than before. Her jewelled eyes were bright and big, just like a blue orb.
She looked around trying to most likely spot me but realizing she couldn't find me she laughed, most likely thinking it was all a game I had arranged. "Hey! Old Man, come out! I know you're hiding! You're not young, what if you pull a joint!" She laughed giddily as she shouted and twirled around, looking under some bushes for me.
I sighed this girl was too foolish it was this easy for me to fool her and take her under my wing she was an effortless way to make money.
"That's her," I pointed her out to the man
"I know," the man placed ten silver coins in my hand
"Hey! We agreed on twenty!" I half screamed, half-whispered angrily.
"Yes, seeing her condition, we would need to invest more money on her, you should be grateful we even paid you." The cloaked man said blandly and jumped out from where we were hiding.
