''Shouldn't we blindfold him'' his cousin that smiled at him before asked their uncle ''You know. . . . so, he wouldn't know where boss stays''. He continued. ''Don't bother '' was all his uncle said. Now hunter started to get an eerie feeling that something was wrong. His gut never lied, and he normally always trusted his instincts, but this time, he needed the cash.
Hunter was given a package which he would deliver. He felt it and managed to deduce that what was inside was liquid. He pressed on it a little tighter and brought his nose to smell it. ''Careful not to spill it, our boss doesn't like spoilt packages, and you will pay with your life if you spill it'' his uncle said from the driver's seat. Hunter nodded. The packages were tightly sealed, and he guessed that they wouldn't be able to open easily.
They stopped at a field. With a big mansion in the middle of the field. ''That's. . . . where she lives'' hunter asked, and they nodded 'It's not so bad'. It was not as dangerous as he thought it would be. Even his gut feeling was calming down.
They all got to the door of the mansion, and it was opened b a girl. A girl of hunter's age, she had black hair but some locks of it wre white. 'What is she doing here' he thought inwardly. Her face was calm, he eyes almost lifeless. As she looked at hunter, a small spark of excitement appeared in her eyes. As the small spark arose, she suddenly had an enchanted and ethereal charm and beauty. His cousins looked away while his uncle closed his eyes, but hunter not noticing any of this just stared. Her face became familiar as if he had seen her before.
''You must be hunter'' she said in an almost robotic voice as she looked from hunter to his cousins and then his uncle. They all had respectful looks on their faces as they looked down, not wanting to meet her gaze.
''How do you know my name?'' He asked defensively but stretched his hand for a handshake. She stared at his hand in a strange way before she looked back at him. She said nothing and there was no expression on her face.
She just walked into the house at a slow pace. Hunter's uncle followed behind her. One of his cousins began to speak ''Are you. . . '' but was stopped by the other who says ''shut up''.
Hunter was still confused at everything, but his brain worked it out and he immediately realized' oh shit, she must be the boss's daughter, that's why they're all like that '. But why is she so familiar. He thought to himself as he followed after them. They had walked through the whole house and hunter was surprised. The only people in the whole house were girls. Being the only guys in the house, hunter wanted to tease his cousins, but they all walked facing the floor.
The girl leading them was walking forward and did not look back at all. As if not afraid if they could keep up, but the message was clear. They came out the back of the mansion and hunter saw an old woman leaning on a walking stick. She was facing the rising sun. The girl walked and stood beside the old woman and whispered into her ears.
His uncle shoved hunter who was holding the box of strange liquid he was supposed to deliver towards the old woman. His uncle was sweating heavily. He did not dare to look up at all, even his cousins were sweating as well. 'They must be very afraid of their boss, i better not cross her' hunter thought inwardly.
''Good morning, ma'am'' hunter bowed respectfully as he stretched out the package. She turned to look at him, his heart froze, he felt fear. Her eyes were also listless as she stared at him. He saw a stopwatch around her neck. She said nothing as she walked away, expressionless. The girl took the package out of his sweating and trembling hands.
She followed the woman back into the house. His uncle and cousins also raced after her, leaving hunter to his thoughts. He also hurried after them and as he stepped into the mansion, it was no longer as calm and cool as he thought. It felt scary, and dark and cold and it was as if something was watching him.
Upfront, he saw his uncle negotiating respectfully with the old woman, his eyes still on the floor. She took out a huge wad of cash and gave to him, his uncle careful should his skin touch her. He eyed the money greedily. 'My money should also be there. As he got closer, he was stopped by the girl as she stood in his way, she shook her head signaling no to him. 'Maybe she doesn't want me to hear them'. He thought to himself and waited patiently for their negotiation to end.
