Ryan could not believe his eyes when the two strangers turned out to be teenagers who looked a bit older than him. They were two boys " you're teenagers. Why are you living here alone" Ryan asked.
" I'm Brian and this is my twin brother, Blake" He replied. "Yeah nice to meet you.." Blake mumbled and took his seat. " I'm Ryan. Thank you saving me back there" Ryan said meekly.
"You should thank him. He forced me to come with him after he spotted the men abducting you" Blake stated. Ryan gulped and fumbled to seat on a Rusty chair. "So, why are you living alone here?" He asked.
"Why don't you tell us what got you involved with those old farts first " Brian asked. " I met them when I was looking for someone " Ryan replied. "And who might that be?" Brian asked.
"My father. He left home and some men attacked our house and murdered everyone. My mom protected me and I need to find my father alone now" Ryan replied. "Oh, that's quite sad" Brian mumbled.
"How are you going to find him. Do you have any idea how huge the city is" Blake finally spoke up.
" I've been going around showing people this picture of.." Ryan paused when he searched his bag but couldn't find Reece's picture. He poured everything in the bag to the ground and searched everything thoroughly.
" Where's the picture!" Ryan exclaimed.
*Back at the men's place*
The men finally woke up after sleeping for about an hour. The boss stared around in confusion as everyone else stood up. "What happened. Why is everyone just waking up " He asked and yawned.
"I can't remember anything. I woke up on the floor " One of the men stated. None of the men seemed to know what happened at all. "go check out on the little brat" The boss instructed.
One of the men left and soon returned running back into the living room. "boss, he's gone!" He exclaimed. " He's what!" The boss screamed. He stood up to check it out for himself.
He returned to the living room looking uneasy. "How did he get away. Who opened the door for him!?" The boss yelled in frustration. "His bag is gone sir. He must have snuck out of here when we were all asleep sir" one of the men stated.
"How in the world did you let that happen. Did he use some sought of Magic or what!?" The Boss yelled. "we don't know sir. We were all asleep here" the man replied. "Damn it!" The boss yelled and hit the table.
He noticed the picture on the table and picked it up glaring at it with total annoyance. "He was our lucky ticket. You all need to either find him or his father!" The boss stated.
*BACK AT THE TWIN'S HOUSE*
"I need to go get back my father's picture. It's the only way I can find him" Ryan said and stood up to leave. "Oh, you want to go back to the place you were locked up just to get a picture. Be my guest!" Blake said mockingly. Ryan sat back down.
"You cannot go back there Ryan. They would have woken up already and sure would be pissed, Cause we took their foods!" Brian said and chuckled.
"so that is what's in the bag " Ryan said staring at the Bag Blake had been holding since he met them.
"if no one's going to tell you this, I will. It'll be almost impossible for you to search for your father and find him in this huge city. The best thing is to go to the police station tomorrow and they'll do something about it" Blake stated.
"I cannot go there!" Ryan opposed. The twins were quite shocked to see the way he reacted.
"And why can't you go there. You must enjoy suffering.." Blake said sarcastically.
"shut up Blake!. Why can't you report to the police Ryan?" Brian asked. "I..I don't just trust them" Ryan replied. "Trust them?. You have no mutual deal, all you have to do is just report to them and let them do their work!" Blake stated.
" you wouldn't understand. I promised my Dad I will never do what a police man says or want. He added to always avoid them too as they work for the enemy sometimes too" Ryan replied. "Well, I don't know what to say anymore. Suit yourself " Blake stated.
"You can rest for now. We'll think of something tommorow " Brian said and urged HIm to lay on a bed. Ryan nodded and laid down on the bed which felt surprisingly comfortable.
"Are you hungry. You should eat something if you are.." Brian asked. " I'm good. I need to rest for now" Ryan replied. "Yeah.." Brian said. He went on to eat with his brother and soon laid down next to Ryan.
"How old are you Ryan. You seem quite too young for all this " Brian asked. "You are not an adult too you know.." Ryan replied. "Yeah, but I'm definitely older and more experienced than you" Brian said boastfully.
" I'm thirteen..just turned thirteen " Ryan replied. "I see, I'm turning seventeen soon" Brian replied. " Actually thought you would be sixteen or lesser" Ryan said and chuckled. "What!. I thought you would think we'll be older than that" Brian exclaimed.
They both went Mute for a while. "Why didn't you go to the police, and you didn't tell me how you ended here too " Ryan asked. "our mother died a long time ago. And our father suddenly disappeared one day too. And we did go to the police " Brian replied.
"And what happened?" Ryan asked eagerly. "We were taken to some orphanage homes but we ran away after some while. We just felt so out of place there" Brian replied.
