Alice calmly walk into the convenience store without looking at Emmy who was walking behind her and this is what makes Emmy unease.
Why would she be so calm, did she perhaps think Emmy can't run away, or did she think that if he try to run, he can't escape.
All of this was making him unease, after all, he's a criminal and she's the one who had captured him, and criminals are bond to do anything they could to escape from their captors while the captors are to make sure criminals don't escape at all cost.
So, why is she be so nonchalant about the situation, why does she think that Emmy can't escape and why is Emmy not also running away.
'Well, it's not as if I can run away from her, only if I don't want to go to school again.'
Getting all thought off his mind, Emmy stay at the entrance of the store while Alice walk in, the scarf was still binding his hands that's why he gently stay at the entrance beside a big cargo, so he won't attract much attention.
Some minutes later, Alice walk out of the store holding two large package container, she looks around a few times before her gaze laid on Emmy who stood besides the cargo, without saying anything; the tired boy follow her and they started walking to the uncompleted building.
Before they left the store, Alice got the scarf off Emmy's hand, he wanted to ask her the reason why she seems so careless about his escape, but he quickly pulled himself back and led her to his so-called home.
Nobody say a word to each other as they continue their short journey to the uncompleted building, and it's not that they could talk to each other,
or what conversation would come up between a criminal and their captor? Apart from a few question that the captor would ask the criminal to fish some information out of them, but Alice already asked her questions so they journeyed peacefully.
Emmy was deep in thought as he slowly led his captor to his so called home, somehow he doesn't feel like the latter mean any danger, but he still couldn't get some thought off his mind.
'What is she doing with a lie detector?'
Different thoughts..
Did Alice join the cops, or perhaps she's a detective or an informant of some sort, because that's the only thing he could think of - for the detector in her possession; but considering her age, all of these are unlikely to be.
'Even if she's older than me, it can't be more than a year.'
With no answer to that, Emmy brushed it at the back of his mind and ponder on the most weighing thought.
What will Alice do after discovering where he lives, what will happen when they got to his home, what will be her reaction after finding Jone in his home and what will she do after that?
Is she going to inform the Joilish group? Or do everything she could to have the dog herself, Emmy don't have answer to all of this, and most importantly....
'What is she thinking right now?'
Looking up to spare a glance at the girl, he was surprised to see her standing still staring at him with her cold eyes.
'When did we get here.' He thought as he could see that they're currently in the street where the uncompleted building is located.
Unbeknownst to him, while he was deep in his own thought, Alice had led the way up to the dark street they're currently in, and she's staring at him with a cold eyes.
"Huh - sorry." Emmy said as he quickly approach her.
She frowned and said;
"Will you lead from here?"
"Yes_sure." Emmy led the way to the building that was a dozen metres ahead of them, he didn't know how long she must have waited after entering the dark street, but he knew for sure that it haven't been long.
A few minutes later, they step into the building where there's was nothing but veil of darkness and a stray forest that crawled into the building from the back. The night has grown a little old, so the moon shown brightly upon the building, but only the upper part of the building could witness the blessing of the moon, while the ground floor was dark, the highest floor was illuminated by the moon. While a few middle floor were blessed with the reflection.
Emmy couldn't see the zenith of the building but he knew the rooms there were brightly illuminated by the blessing of the room.
Alice studied the building a few times, then she brought out her storage device and from it, a cylindrical object with wide round head appeared, then she clicked it and a fluorescent light dismissed the veil of darkness. She followed Emmy up the stairs to the first room in the first floor.
Seeing her with a lamp, Emmy cursed under his breathe, he had thought that the darkness at the back of the room will protect Jone from been sighted, but his captor has a little lamp in her possession, and as soon as they entered the room; her gaze first laid on Jone which had startled her a bit.
"What's - what's that?" She asked as she took a few steps back.
'Damn it.'
Emmy shifted a little and said;
"Huh, that's Jone, my dog and my only companion."
She moves forward and study the tired dog that laid there with different bruise on its skin with undescribable color.
"He's dying." She eventually said.
Emmy hesitated for a moment and said;
"That, he recently got into a mess and that's why he's a bit out of life."
Emmy said in a somber tone.
Alice didn't say anything, instead she brought out her storage device and a few stuff appear of thin air from the device.
There was a bottle of water, a small pills container with another cube stocked besides it, white towel and the two package she bought from the store.
She bent beside the dog and the first thing she did was washed its body with the water in the bottle, after that, she used the towel to clean the water off its body.
After washing and cleaning the dog's body thoroughly, the undescribable color of its body is gone and in its place is the usual white fur, and the claw mark could be seen clearly.
After making sure that Jone's body is clean, Alice moves the pills container closer and opened the small cube besides it; there, a pale yellow paste could be seen inside.
Without wasting anytime, she started applying the paste on Jone's wounded body, every claw mark on the dying dog body, she make sure to not miss it.
Jone let out a feint painful growl a few time, the dog is coming back to life...
Seeing this, Alice threw two green pills in its mouth to make the dog fully recover.
