In medium size room, pale white painted made it look like hospital room, a boy with dark brown hair slowly opened his sleepy eyelids with satisfaction written over his face for getting a good a sleep unlike usual. Stretching widely, his green eyes wondered around the nearly empty room but only from the bed he sleeps on and the new brown lethal bag that was bought from mile town a week ago, due his last one poor state.
With aggressive deep sigh, he leaped off the bed and tidied it like his mom always taught him back in the village.
Unconsciously, he spaced out realizing how much he misses her and her warmth, from her good mornings to her good nights. He was her lovely son, and she was everything to him. Never once was this distanced from her.
Taking by flash backs of his memories, a knock on the door startled him.
"Good morning sir Luka, I already had your clothes cleaned and ironed, should I put them on door handle or enter inside?" A voice called behind the door.
Luka good vibes were roiled were a headache following the discomfort toward the person behind the door. At first, Luka refused the idea of assigned butler stalking him everywhere, but with time the old man Mr Robert Green nagged him until he agree.
"Sir Luka?" Recalled the voice.
Not liking addressed with sir, he opened the door to meet up with a puzzled dark eyes, gazing at him with curiosity, in contrary to Luka who with plainly looking face he gripped his uniform ignoring the woman who brought it then slammed the door.
In just few minutes he neatly wore the uniform, then took his leave only to notice that the butler still standing by the door with smile, however he excused her moving aside skipping her, and walked to a door at the end of the hallway leaded to Greens main house.
"Wait sir Luka. I was told by master Robert to serve you" The butler stated.
Grumpy he turned back to her while opening the hallway door.
"I know, thanks for cleaning my uniform, you can go" He exclaimed.
Stalking him to a big hall where two figures sat on bule couch, chatting and drinking tea.
"But, I..."
The butler exclaimed without finishing her sentence, the two figures glanced them and laughed.
"Oh, the new fake young master showed up" The first one remarked.
"Bow to his excellence..." Said the other, then they both laughed loudly.
Paused her steps the butler frowned at their rudeness. Nevertheless, seeing him neglecting their existence, she firmed her upper body and walked proudly following Luka's lead to a glass door at the other end of the hall. She outran and preceded him to open the door smiling, making him shooked his head.
"W..wait, sir Luka you didn't have breakfast yet"
Luka sighed, then glimpsed the teleport ring only seconds away from him.
"No need. Mr Robert,... is his still in the research facility section eight?" He asked.
The butler affirmatively nodding, thus Luka waved goodbye stepping inside the teleporting, in seconds he dissappeared.
Rubbing then blinking his eyes he stepped out of the ring. He is still not used to the over blindingly lights while teleporting to research facility. Luka then headed to the elevator, and quietly ascended to eighth floor.
While the outer Camo regions still live in the past, the Greens research facility, doesn't have the historical outlooks, it's more modern styled. Those people made a space jump into the future, living on their own pace, and until now Luka is bewitched with the huge distinct, and to thought he can be part of this, it's above his understanding, he's really one of the luckiest.
Anyhow, normally, Luka doesn't like to be center of attention, but since the moment he received the invitation, he was forced to change, so to fit in. He became calm and discreet more than ever about his feelings and attitude. Except infront of two, Mr Robert the one recruited him and his mother, so far at least. Why? Because he is comfortable with them? No, because he trusts them and they trust him back.
He always thought that a one sided trust can be easily be broken, but if two entrusted their secrets as form of trust, and if happened the trust is broken they will keep their mouth shut in fear of secrets to be spoken.
Glancing his reflection on the elevator, Luka awkwardly side-combed his hair in attempt to look more dazzling. Quit the conflict for a non attention seeker. However, it seemed to be working, noticing in last couple days people stared at him with cautious instead of smoking him like the other two main members from Green family. Just thinking of them made his jaw clenshed angery.
At first the jokes where only a passive words he could ignore, but then they burned his clothes then his books and so much more, things went too far than just mere jokes. Mr Robert Green as one of the family heads came on a sudden visit to the house. knowing the poor treatment Luka got, he find no other way but to interfer. Thus, he announced Luka's adoption which surprised everyone and Luka himself. They didn't understand and thought it's another whim of his. And although he is very thankful for the old man, still to this day Luka didn't signed the adoption certificate yet. Because this no joke matters. He need time to think clearly instead of jumping into fire unshielded.
Once the elevator door opened, a familiar human skinned robot transactional beamed him.
[Scan figure,..three, two, one... scanning complete. Good morning young master Luka]
Chuckle inwardly, he patted its shoulder, then moved to enter an office that's more like a dumpster than a luxury office.
Scratching his chin he muttered a curse, metal junks, files and papers were scattered all over the place, then carefully, in even wider strides he tried to move around without stepping on them since according to Mr Robert; theses junks are his life treasures. His focus was on the ground, until he glanced up scouting the area. Where he glimpsed the old man sitting across onto a box with a screw drive on his left hand fixing what it seem a prosthetic arm.
Feeling his presence the man turned to Luka who was struggling to reach him, he sniggered as if watching an entertaining show. Therewith, he dragged another box besides him, patted on it, then immersed back to work again.
Luka sighed in relief finally able to reach him, then sat on the box the man dragged.
"You asked for me, sir Robert?" Luka asked.
Turn the screw drive three time Robert replied:
"I think I did, how's the academy life? Did you make any new friends?"
"Fine. Not sure" Luka grumps.
Stopping for a moment, Robert eyes looked at Luka's direction.
"As usual not much of a talker, aren't you?"
"Can't trust anyone yet" Luka replied shrugging his shoulders.
