"Hey, wake up!"
The voice landed on deaf ears.
"Kiernan!"
"Mmh…"
Kiernan put his hand over his eyes and looked up to see Julian standing next to his bed with a frown on his face.
"What the hell did you do last night?" Julian asked. "Apparently we're heading over to Letzer Island? I've never even heard of that place!"
"Ah…" Kiernan sat up on his bed, his wild hair looking even wilder. "So, Ambrose told everyone it was my idea?"
"Yes, something about a treasure map or some shit," Julian crossed his arms. "So, is it real?"
"Yes, it is the real one." Kiernan said with a serious tone. "We might be able to buy our freedom."
Julian looked at him silently, trying to find any uncertainty from Kiernan's expression, but there wasn't any.
Then, he just smiled and patted his friend on the shoulder.
"Good, I am so tired of cleaning their messes!"
Julian sounded genuinely happy and was full of hope.
