Yuan's POV
"That would be $480, Ma'am. Is this dine-in or take-out?" I asked the customer who keeps staring at me.
"Dine-in, please. Oh, and can I make a request? I want you to deliver it to my table." She responded trying to flirt at me. If I weren't doing this for work, I wouldn't have to face this.
"I'll see what I can do with that ma'am." I smiled and continued what I was doing. I'm glad that the cafe was always full but I am not blind to know the reason. Women are the same. Most women I mean, not all of them.
My colleague walks to the table where the woman who just ordered and gave her the food frowned when he looked at the waiter and then at me. She acted like she was sulking and ate her food. \
Not long after, we heard the door opened letting a customer in. It was a woman in her tracksuit while listening to music with her earphones. She walked to the counter and looked at the menu behind me.
"I'll have a medium mocha, a slice of walnut cake, and a mini strawberry cake. Oh, and I'll take the Strawberry cake on the go." She ordered. I nodded and repeated her order.
"One medium mocha, A slice of walnut cake, and a mini strawberry cake on the go. Is there anything else you want to add, miss?" I asked. she shook her and I told her to wait at one of our tables. I cleaned the counter and someone sent her what she ordered. I don't know what and why but something is odd about her. Like something doesn't feel right. I stopped staring at her when the bells on the door chimed. It was my brother silver. He had Tyron with him and his walking stick. He pretended to be blind walking to the counter.
"Hi there. As you can see I am blind, can you tell what you have here?' He asked. I almost rolled my eyes with his lie. I started telling him the menu and he carefully thinks what he wants. Though I already what he wants to order.
"Hmm, I think I'll have 2 slices of chocolate moist cake and a small cappuccino." He smiled. I confirmed his order by repeating it and guided him to the nearest table. I went back to the counter and waited for his order. When his order was out, I grabbed the tissue I've been holding on to and placed it on his tray with his order. I went to his table and placed everything there and he ate it. He placed the tissue near his arm and read it while looking forward.
Silver's POV
I read the letter in the tissue that Yuan gave.
'The woman in a tracksuit. Something doesn't feel right about her. I saw her at the window from the apartment the other day and she was staring at me. She's here every day and left at exactly 1:30 pm every day. Check her out for me.' -Yuan.
I inserted the tissue into my pocket and lightly kicked Tyron from under the table. He walked to the woman's table and bit her shoelace. She got irritated and ask who owns the dog.
"Oh is it a husky? It must be mine. I'm sorry about that." I turned and respond I grabbed my stick and walked in her direction. I looked at her saw... Nothing. She was normal. No strange things appeared on her. Except for the orange aura that was emitting from her. I called Tyron and he walked right to me. I bent down to look for his lace when she grabbed it and gave it to me.
"Here, it's right in front of you." I grabbed her hand where the lace it a memory flashes in my head.
I saw nothing. I was in a pitch-black room with a gramophone in the middle playing a piece of classical music. I don't know why but I suddenly felt my head hurt and I felt dizzy. I couldn't stand the pain so I let my body fell on the ground and lost consciousness. But before that, I saw two figures walking towards me and disappeared. I woke up and saw Yuan's worried look and a few people looking at me. Yuan sat me up straight and gave me a glass of water and I drank it. I looked around saw the woman was now outside the cafe and staring at me. She motioned something in her hands. Like she was talking to me to sign. After signing something, she left. Luckily I have a sharp memory so I remembered what she was signing.
I looked at Yuan and he pulled me up and gave me my stick and Tyron's leash. I asked to pack my order decided to head home. Well, maybe I'll stay at Yuan's apartment for a moment. When I arrived there, I sat on the couch and took a short nap.
I opened my eyes and to my surprise, I was in an old abandoned kindergarten with different stickers on the wall and a small table with folders on top of it. I walked closer and was about to pick a folder when I heard something. It was the same music I heard when I passed out in the Cafe. I followed the music through the hallway and it led me outside to the garden. I saw a woman's back facing. On her right side, there were two chairs and a table between them. On the table was the gramophone and Maine coon cat sitting there. I walked closer to the woman when suddenly, the ground opened and I fell in. I woke up startled and sweating. Yuan was there and gave me a glass of water. I took it and drank it. He put the glass down on the floor and looked at me worriedly.
"What's wrong with you? You fainted at the cafe earlier and now you're sweating so much. Did you have a nightmare? What happened to you earlier? What did you see in her?" He asked. I couldn't answer cause my head was still stinging in pain. When I manage to calm down, I told him what I saw earlier.
"I didn't see much or basically anything. I was transported to a weird place where it was pitch-black and I saw a gramophone playing something. I don't know what it was but it sounded like a musical piece. Then after that, my head started to get hurt and I fell and woke up you shaking me. Then just earlier, I fell asleep only to wake up in an abandoned kindergarten and I heard that music again. I followed it to the garden and saw a woman. I was about to get closer when the ground opens and I fell and woke up." I explained. He was silent for a moment and was thinking. I don't what he was thinking but he just sighed and to me to rest.
"You must be tired. Get some rest and let's talk about this tomorrow." He tucked me in the blanket and caressed my hair to sleep. He knows that would make me sleepy. I didn't wanna argue with him anymore because I was extremely tired. And before I knew it, I was drowned to sleep.
Yuan's POV
When I manage to Silver to sleep, I walked to my computer and wrote down everything he told me. I always knew since I was young about my strange condition. Not being sociable and was a genius at such a young age. When I found out that Silver and I were going to be adopted by a scientist, I knew something wasn't right so I escaped that place along with him. I also always knew something was strange with his eyes for having a vision with blind-like eyes.
I turned around and looked at Silver, sleeping peacefully. I wanted him to have a normal life. Having those eyes is not a problem. He can either pretend to be blind or explain to the people his situation, but he might risk catching people's attention. Especially scientists. I shook off negative things in my head and looked back at my computer. After jotting down some notes, I search for a new apartment. If it weren't for that woman, we wouldn't have to leave.
Silver and I lived in different apartments for safety and also work. We do have a killing business but we also do other works to cover that. I work at a cafe while he sometimes works at home as a Call center agent. I looked at the time and it was 10:30 pm. I stood and stretch a bit before heading to bed. I looked at silver and carried him to my bed. I know he is not comfortable sleeping on the couch. So I tucked him in and went to the couch to sleep.
Third Person's POV
The woman in a tracksuit came into a room where a man standing facing the window while drinking his wine awaited her arrival.
"Sir, it's me. I have confirmed that it is them." The woman reported. The man took a sip of his wine and spoke.
"How are they? What were they doing?" He asked.
"Mr. Yuan works as at a café and young Silver works as a Call center agent in 00 company. But when they receive a certain 'order', they also have their own business where they kill people." She reported. The man chuckled and stopped.
"You may leave now, Ellen. Good work for today. Tell Ryan to look after them starting tomorrow." He ordered. The woman bowed and left closing the door along. He continues to look at the beautiful city lights in the night while taking a sip at his wine.
"Yuan Riley Quier, Silver Hans Quier. Just you wait. The time will come and you can have the life you could ever wish for." He mumbled to himself. He turned around and placed his wine on the table. He grabbed on one of the darts and threw it on on the dartboard hitting a bullseye. On the dartboard were a photo of Yuan and silver.
"Papa's coming boys." He said then turned around to the gramophone and placed the needle down, playing a classical music piece. Moments later, a woman in an elegant dress came in and hugged the man from the back and kissed his cheek.
"How long do I have to wait from now?" She asked.
"Not to worry, dear. They'll be in our arms again. I promise." He answered. They both smiled and left the room leaving the music playing and the photo of two lads on the board started emitting a light.
