Chapter 3 - Grenzborg

Now in the steam engine like train, the three boys are heading to Grenzborg in search for Henry's older sister.

Henry, Jack and Lenny, are now sitting in the train at a four seater with a table.

Jack: "You don't have her number anymore? Or did she lose her phone?"

Jack asks Henry, sitting face to face with him, while Lenny is sitting on the window side left from him.

Henry: "What do you mean? I still have her number".

Henry responds, surprised by Jack's sudden question.

Jack: "Then why didn't you just call her to ask where she is right now"

Jack asks, while raising his voice in disappointed.

Henry: "Because I know that she wouldn't pick up, last time I called her she was angry

at me for calling, since she is busy all the time. The only person she instantly picks up

on when they call is our mother"

Jack: "Don't you think that your sister just doesn't want to talk to you?"

Henry: "Nah, we are family after all".

Jack then turns his head to Lenny, giving an expression of disbelief. Lenny responds with a similar expression.

Lenny then pulls out his phone, a flip phone with a display in the inside of the upper part.

Henry: "Woah, you have the newest model?"

Henry glances in awe, again with his shiny expression.

Lenny: "Cool right? Not only can I call someone, but it also has a build in flashlight."

Lenny ons the flashlight, it is a small light that shines from the backside of the upper phone part.

Henry: "Whoa, my phone is only good to call"

Henry takes out his phone; it is smaller then Lennys and the display has some cracks inside.

Lenny: "You know what? We should exchange numbers."

Lenny says, grabbing Henry's phone and typing in his phone number. Henry's phone then makes a short musical sound.

Henry: "Neat, I now have three contacts"

Lenny: "Three? Why so less"

Lenny questions with an arrogant smile.

Henry: "My mom, my sister and you"

Henry responds

Jack then grabs Henry's phone.

Henry: "HEY"

Jack: "Calm down, I just want to see what your big sister's name is"

He says in his cool-boy tone, smiling with a sinister face.

Jack: "Let me see… Emilia Bruma… interesting"

Jack makes a surprised expression afterwards

Jack: "Your profile says that your name is Henry Dreherg, while your sisters name is Bruma, might want to explain?"

Jack asks, raising up one of his eyebrows.

Henry: "Easy, I have our dad's family name while my sister has our mom's family name."

Jack: "Makes sense I guess."

The train stops

Announcer: "We are now at Grenzborg train station"

A female voice says.

 

Jack, Lenny and Henry now stand up from their seats and walks out of the train.

First thing they notice is the wide overwhelming view to the Ocean that is visible at the horizon behind the town and the varieties of Birds flying over them and further on.

in train-stations, there are commonly poster walls since clients also try to attract foreigners to accept their jobs.

Lenny then noticed something on one of the poster walls, three faces that look familiar, Lenny also noticed that it is a bounty hunting job, not only that, but a high bounty is

also set onto those familiar faces.

Lenny then falls to the ground, shocked when he noticed that the three familiar faces where him, Jack and Henry.

Lenny: "Guys? We have a problem"

He says with a shivering tone.

Jack: "What is it"

Jack says, before also shockingly noticing his face on the bounty poster.

Jack: "Oh shit, now we are in a deep mess"

He responds.

Jack: "We have to go, fast"

Lenny nods, agreeing with Jack

Henry: "Why? What's the matter?"

Henry asks confused, not knowing the situation they are in.

Jack: "I don't know how or when, but someone put on some high bounties on each of us. We now each have a bounty of 15.000 credits"

Henry: "Is that much?"

Jack grabs Henry on both shoulders, with a furious expression,

Jack: "Hey dumbass, back in that fight club I earned 700 credits and you only 100, I hope this summarizes it"

Lenny: "We shouldn't be wasting time here, let's go"

Lenny calls out, pulling Jack on his shirt.

Now after walking for quite some time, the three boys now finally arrived at Grenzborg,

the port city in Grafenberg province.

 

???: "Alright idiot, next time don't call me"

A female voice says, laying down on a lounger on top of a boat, talking on her flip phone before hanging up. The boat has a large deck area with three loungers, a table with atleast three chairs, a mast and a steering weel. Inside the ship are three rooms, a large storage room, a sleeping area and the restroom.

The girl laying down wears a black bikini, tanning herself in the sun. She also wears sunglasses, and her hair is dark and long, with small dark red strains.

???: "Emilia i told you the deck area is not a tanning spot"

Another voice says. it is a blonde boy in a sailor uniform.

Emilia: "Shut up Daniel, I can do what I want aslong the Boss isn't here."

Daniel the sailor boy groans in despair.

Daniel: "Alright Emilia, as long as the Boss isn't here, I won't say anything"

Daniel then picks up a bucket of fish and goes over a plank, down of the ship.

???: "EMILIA"

A familiar voice shouts.

Emilia: "Oh no, I know that voice"

 

It is Henry standing at the harbor jetty, next to the ship.

Henry: "EMILIA ARE YOU THERE? THE SAILOR BOY SAYS YOU ARE! I WILL COME UP NOW"

Henry walks up the plank and sees Emilia on the lounger

Emilia: "What are you doing here, idiot little brother?"

Emilia says in an angry voice, raising up her sunglasses, revealing her dark green eyes.

At the same time, Jack and Lenny walks up the plank, viewing Emilia.

Emilia: "Ah i see, you even brought some friends"

She adds on to her sentence

Henry: "We could use your help Emilia; we have a problem"
