Shoto walked into Lawheys tent and saw him with his sister. Lawhey saw his hand on his left side. He walked over to him, he stood there waiting for Shoto to tell him what happened. Atta came to help Shoto sit down.
"Ryan is with some dangerous people", Shoto said groaning.
"Ryan and his friends did this to you?", Lawhey asked surprised.
"Yes, well no, it was only his friends", Shoto said.
"He should stop hanging out with them, it they are bad", Atta said.
Shoto caught something in his peripheral vision. He looked and saw Marilyn spying.
"I have told him countless times but he wouldn't listen", Shoto said ignoring the peeping Marilyn.
"I said I'll leave, if only I've repaired my relationship with my sister. I have, how about we leave tomorrow. ", Lawhey said looking at his sister.
Atta didn't say anything, she nodded in approval.
"I know how toxic some friends can be, I agree, you guys should go.", Atta said to both of them as she rubbed Lawheys back.
Shoto agreed, he tried getting up and felt a sharp pain. He immediately sat back down.
"Let me have a look at it", Atta said.
She applied pressure around the area, trying to to determine the exact spot. Her search ended when Shoto varified with a groan. She touched it lightly and Shoto felt nothing. He had to retract the scales to be treated. The problem was if he did, they will all pass out.
"I'll be fine don't worry", Shoto said when Atta asked if he could take of his armor. He got up and left for his tent. Atta helped him out, immediately she got out she saw Marilyn loitering around the equipments.
Ryan and Samph came back late that night. Atta saw them as they going into their various tents.
"Samphire"
Atta waved him over. He walked towards her staggering. When he finally got there, he placed his hand around her shoulders. As he was going into he tent, she removed his hand around her shoulders. She then twisted it, pulled it behind him and kicked him behind the knees. As he went down on his knees, she grabbed him by the jaw.
"Don't drag my brothers friends into your world. If you do, I'll burn the whole operation."
Atta whispered into his ears.
