The three looked at the giant metal ship, spanning over three feet that marched towards the dock, and long enough to engulf the entire area.
"I-Is that the ship?" asked Hina, surprised by its gigantic size.
Veru folded his hands, replied in a sarcastic voice, "one day, I will be among the ones, riding in there."
Hose patted his shoulders, chuckling, "Dream big, but also have the will to pursue them. You won't be in there if you remain lazy like this forever."
The two boys continued to slander each other, the white-haired girl had to separate them, "Stop acting like kids. So, Veru....." she turned her blue eyes towards the green-haired boy.
"We just need to slip in the storage, when no one will be around," Veru replied in a careless tone, but the other two understood his reaction. 'He is just showing hard,'
"Oh! Hide. Trevor is back, " Veru, and the others hid behind the large stone, lying near the shore, and tried to overhear the conversation between Trevor and a group of people in white coats.
"Who are they?" asked Hina, looking at a girl in a white suit and pants. "Why are they dressing so weirdly?"
"They are wearing nothing weird, it is just you two who lack an idea of what it is, " said Hose.
Unlike the two, who were treated as objects since their birth, Hose wasn't. He was sold off by his aunt before he lived with his family which died in a car accident, but unfortunately, Hose survived and was sent to his Aunt, who inherited all his inheritance and sold him as a slave.
"They are scientists, " Hose took a brief pause as he looked at the girl, "that lady is probably a doctor, if not then a nurse."
The two looked at him with eyes full of hope; Veru said in a low tone, "We will have a guide with us, we can easily rule the outside world."
Hina didn't deny Veru but nodded in agreement. "Yes, "
Hose sighed, as he moved his ears closer, trying to overhear the conversation.
"Mr. Trevor, are you sure this....." said the man who stood in the front wearing glasses and a white coat. 'Is he their leader?' thought Hose.
"Is it ready?"
"Yes, we just need the orders..."
"About the mouth..."
"... they should send....."
"Government... closely,"
"Lifeguards..."
".... take us to..."
"But,..... winds?"
"Don't worry....."
"Is Naomi....."
"No... she..."
"Did you all inform..."
"Yes, "
Though the conversation wasn't audible much, Hose got some idea about it. 'Is the government planning something?' Leaning against the rock, he peeked through the corner once again.
"Thank you, Mr. Trevor, for lending us your ship on such short notice, " said the girl with an angelic aura around her.
"N-No problem, " Trevor's face showed a slight hint of red, as he replied.
'That smile is disgusting.'
He continued to watch as they left, but his eyes widened suddenly.
The moment he sighed a breath of relief, the group stopped and turned back; the eyes of the man in the front clashed together with his, he flinched as his body trembled in fear. 'Did he spot us? God, please prove me wrong this time.'
He closed his eyes, as his heartbeat grew faster.
Lub.....
Dub.....
Lub.....
He could hear its sound, as beads of nervous sweat covered his forehead. 'Please! Just this once.'
Veru and Hina looked at him with a strange gaze and whispered amongst themselves. "What is he doing?"
"I don't know, but I think it is important, look how hard is he shutting his eyes closed, "
"Yes, "
Hose opened his eyes, it was over five minutes and no one caught them. He cautiously leaned over and tried to see the group.
Sigh.....
He sighed a breath of relief, finding the group and Trevor gone; leaving only two guards near the mega large metal structure.
He turned back at the two who were still continuing their whispering and frowned. "Are you two even taking it seriously? Do you have any sense of danger?"
His eyes turned towards the white long hair, "Hina, do you have enough ration for us three?"
Hina picked up the small bag that was lying on the ground; it was filled with loads of bread.
"If we eat sparingly, it can last up to for an entire week,"
Veru looked at the loaf, wiping off his drool. "How did you even manage to collect all these?"
Smack.....
Hose smacked the top of his head with a punch and frowned. "One more stupid question and I will throw you into the water."
Rubbing his head, Veru turned towards Hina, trying to gain sympathy from her.
Hina smiled, "I just asked everyone to give us one, and they all did."
Veru's eyes widened as if the entire world was a lie, "no way they could give us these so easily. What did they ask for?"
Hina looked at Hose, as Hose smacked him again. "No more questions."
