Chereads / The Binary System / Chapter 3 - Close one

Chapter 3 - Close one

Wally and Luis ran down the street without looking back until the footsteps of Jake and his gang were no longer heard.

"That was a close one,Wally said as he nudged Luis, who was panting".

"Yeah, I didn't know you could run that fast,"Luis said, still panting.

"How are you able to do that?"Luis asked

.

"Football training"Wally replied.

"Do you wanna become a footballer?"asked Luis.

"Of course I want to be a footballer. It has been my dream since childhood, what about you? What do you want to be in the future?"Wally asked.

"It's complicated, who I want to be is not accepted by my parents,"Luis said sadly.

"Ohh, let me tell you the truth my parents never accepted my career either and I don't think they will but that didn't stop me because I knew it and my gut kept telling me the same thing so be who you want to be "Wally said".

"Nice speech, I hope you would not turn on me if I told you who I want to be,"Luis said with a smirk in his smile.

"Didn't you hear me? "Wally shouted.

Luis looked around the area as if looking for something until he said,"come closer don't want any else to hear it"

Wally drew closer as asked.

Luis put his two hands on Wally's ear and whispered" I want to be a serial killer"Luis said confidently.

"What!!!?"was what came out of Wally's mouth .

Throughout Wally's life Luis his friend was not one that lies for fun or any other reason, the Luis right now speaking to Wally is the same Luis, Wally for a moment was confused until he broke out of it and decided to play along.

"Why?" Wally asked not to be startled.

"Because one killing is easy and fun,"Luis said, still not moved.

"That's the reason why your parents rejected your decision because you might kill them one day"Wally said frustrated.

"By the way it's late I think I will be on my way"Wally said as he started walking towards the bus stop.

"Wait!!"Luis shouted.

Wally looked back and smiled" I knew you were playing games" Wally muttered to himself.

"What now, forgot to kill me so that I would spill your secret,"Wally said, playing along.

"About the whole killer thing, it was all a lie,"Luis said.

"Ok, can I know the truth now?"Wally said impatiently.

"That would have to wait for tomorrow,"Luis said.

"Ok, can I go now?"Wally said.

"I will come to your house this evening.

Maybe we can do our homework and you will also show me some skills,"Luis said, kicking the air twice.

"No problem,I will be waiting,"Wally said.

The both went their separate ways,truly Wally never wanted to take the bus to trek home so as to save the money his father gave him.

Wally walked down the street alone as he kicked a can along.

When he entered a lonely route he was stopped by a gang of bullies, Wally wanted to run back but was stopped by a skinny man,six foot tall with a hippy beard.

Wally struggled to free himself but the weird man's hand won't budge.

"Stop struggling if you want to make it easy,"the man said with a cold voice.

"Bring him over," a younger voice shouted from the front.

"Boss Wally shouted in his mind, who's supposed to be the boss between these two"Wally thought within himself.

The man drog Wally along towards the young man and other two a male and female.

"Ok wizzle as usual,"Donald said.

The male started searching Wally's school bag and brought out his books and Wally's other properties including his action figure of Thomas, his best player and threw it to the ground immediately it made contact with the earth surface it shattered.

Wally couldn't handle it anymore as he fiercely struggled with causing his shirt to tear but was worth it as ways free and ran towards his broken action figure.

"This was the last one and you broke it"Wally yelled at them

.

"Why are even grown ups like out in the street bullying and stealing from children who are old enough to be their parents' 'Wally said emotionally.

There was brief silence after Wally's outburst until a gosh of wind went past Wally and the next he heard was.

"if only you knew"Donald as he knocked Wally out with his bare hands.

"Bring everything to the liar,"Donald instructed.

"Why did you do that?"Felix asked.

"The boy was trying to make it difficult, what happens if I am to hit him?"Donald said with an evil smile.

"Boss, I think we got company wizzle".

"Found anything,"Donald asked.

"Only forty bucks,"Wizzle said.

"If not for the intervention of the police I would have brought you along, ''Donald said as he started walking away followed by his followers.

Wally lay there half unconscious as his parents and the police came into the scene where Wally was still lying.

"Who could have done this?"Serah asked.

"This is an act of the black wolves," the cop Jude, said.

"Why would he trek?"Serah asked.

"I did give him transport welfare, maybe he wanted to save the money.

"Don't worry ma we would catch them and make them pay for their actions", Jude said.

"He will be fine," the doctor said.

"What's wrong with him?" Serah asked.

"Just a minor headache, just needs rest and he will be ok in no time," the doctor said " he will be discharged by tomorrow," she said.

"That means we would be going then, look after him," she said as she walked towards Wall and kissed him on the four heads.

"I will, "the doctor said with a smirk.

"Inform us immediately when he wakes up," Serah said.

"Let's go, remember he needs rest,"Michael said as they walked out the door.
