Chapter 4 - Housemates

John struggled down the street with blood gushing out of his wound. John laid at the side of the road as the Injury was too excruciating to bear. While on the ground he looked around as he realized he was few minutes from the docks, he summoned up his courage and began his journey to the dock.

As he reached the docks he went to where he last saw the yacht. To his disappointment the yacht wasn't there, tears fell from his eyes and suddenly he fainted due to the loss of too much blood. To his luck a pizza delivery lady was driving by and rushed him to the hospital.

Two days later he woke up In the Jongstorm Public Hospital. He looked up at the roof and smiled "It's me and you again life, I'm still here" he said. The nurse walked In and asked "Who are you talking to sir?" He moved his head gesturing that It was no one with a smile.

"Well there's someone here to see you" she said before leaving. Mr. Calvic and Quaver walked In the room. "So John how does It feel to get grazed?" Quaver asked with a grin on his face.

John began to glared at him and said "You, It's your fault I should have left him to kill you that day"

Quaver replied "So this Is Talic's doing?" John nodded. "Your lucky kid, It's rare for his prey to escape, he's going to come back for you In a while after the cops stop snooping around" Mr. Calvic said.

A thought hits John so he asked "Wait how am I here alive by the way, was It you guys who found me at the docks? Mr. Calvic answered "Actually a girl was passing by and took you here, I got some guys to check her out, she works at the pizza place downtown, her name Is Hope Jones"

"Hey John you can stay with me, I live In the old building across from the docks" Quaver said. John nods "Can I leave here now I'm getting restless" he asked

They took him to Quaver's home. John looked at the house and said "What a dump, for a guy who sails a yacht your house Is crappy" Mr. Calvic laughed as he waved goodbye from his car and drives off.

"Well It's better than sleeping on a bench" Quaver said as entered his house. John frowned as he heard about the bench and entered the house. His jaws dropped as he was surprised to how Inside was so put together. "Wow this Is sick damn" John said. "Sure I have my own personal home designer" Quaver replied

"No shit" John said.

Quaver hands him some keys and said "There's a lower floor, It has a kitchen, two bedrooms and a Bathroom. It's yours so I hope you know you don't need to be up here at all, you can use the back door to leave"

John replied "I also like my privacy too so I guess we have a deal" he walked to the stairs that was hidden behind a bookshelf. "Oh there's a car In the garage I rarely use It so you can have It" John nodded and descended down the stairs.

As soon as John reached the lower floor he realizes that It was already furnished, he then smiled and rushed to the cupboard and opened It, Immediately his smile vanishes as the cupboard was empty. He then tried the refrigerator which was also empty, he sighed and went to bed.
