Chapter 7 - Friend benefits

Who was calling a who what now? I stared blankly, half shocked that he appeared from beside me and half pissed that he knew nothing on custom formalities. Not that I would mention that I studied a book on him. His age, height, full name, likes and dislikes and much much more. It seemed not to point with reality.

"I'm Caleb Olrin Holt from the Holt family. Care if we chat outside." He said.

Something about his speech towards me didn't feel right. I felt like our roles had been reversed. Why was he introducing himself?

"Hi. Nice to meet you. I am Jadon. Jason Williams Corbin. It's getting boring here, so where do you want to go?"

We talked almost all evening, laughed at times and it felt like we really became friends. We soon found out that we each had our objectives and therefore we had to maintain this relationship nevertheless.

His family which dealt with security personnel was very reputable but they were a bit limited. They wanted to join hands with my family so they could transport goods from time to time. It was a fair deal even though I was a kid, I understood the necessity.

We therefore maintained our relationship as realistic as possible for our families. That was the harsh truth.
