To reward himself for being able to survive the past few weeks without skipping meals and without over-thinking about what was happening around him, Terry had his dinner at the local diner. He ordered a ‘box of fries’ and ‘spicy lollies’. There he thought he’ll be eating alone- enjoy his hard work, which was until all those he knew by name slowly gathered around his table to eat. They ordered their meals to share – the reason why the table became longer and louder as time passed by. The noise lengthened as it wills for Judge Eston doesn’t seem to stop laughing (she might be drunk) and Old Toms shared all of his experience as a sailor. Hileas was the one who dragged Wolfgang into the mess while he was approaching the kitchen; he was all grumpy at first but after the table’s topic was about guns and dogs, he didn’t try to leave any longer. Terry can’t help but smile at his situation – this was the most social interaction he had ever. The moment was perfect until his sight happened to glance at the exposed entrance of the kitchen. He saw the chef drag a dead, battered body through the backdoor. When his eyes were back to the people around him, he inspected the crowd to know if they also saw it and he was not hallucinating at all. The Judge was the one who clearly did for she was looking at him heavily yet she just moved her head to say ‘no’ and signed him to be quiet. But he witnessed everything so he ran out of the place and headed immediately to his home.
Terry closed all the openings and as he was snapping the lock of his front windows, he noticed that the house in front of him was as good as new – as if nothing happened to it yesterday. He was about to hide somewhere since he still felt being watched when someone knocked at his door and called him by his full name ‘Timothy Raymond Luzkov’. It was Dr. Xef and he told the boy to calm down or he’s gonna get it. He added, it was too early to explain what’s going on in Route 31 but time will come that he will understand and know that this is where he belongs.
