Immortal heart [1.5]
The address took me to a large but old building filled with rental office spaces.
I open the door to one of the rooms. It's dark and grim, but unexpectedly clean.
A young man is sitting on an armchair Infront of a coffee table, his legs crossed. He seems to be playing chess, but there is no one else in the room.
his sharp eyes narrow at me and intrigued smile is plastered on his face.
Rose
(he's unexpectedly young... He can't be any much older than I am...)
Vis
It depends on why you're here.
Rose
I have a questions. A friend told me about you.
Vis
Ahh... so this is a business matter. Come take a seat.
I sit across him and look curiously at the chess board.
Vis
Is something the matter?
Rose
No, there's no problem.
Rose
Im looking for someone and I want you to help me find him.
Rose
I'm aware that you don't work for Free and I'm prepared to help you with what little I have.
The man's small smile widens a little. He peers at me with his glinting eyes.
Rose
(I can't tell what he's thinking...)
Vis
You're straight forward. I like it.🙂
Vis
Some of my guests tried to beat around the bush for a while that I get tired of dealing with them.
Vis
Seems like you're worth talking to.
Rose
(Good... it looks like he's willing to what I have to say.)
I tell the man the entire story about my brother disappearance.
I expect him to take notes, but all the while he only seems to be looking at me while tapping his fingers on the armrest.
Rose
...And that's how it is... I need your help. I really need to find him.
Vis
Well, I believe we can do something about that.
Vis
I've written the estimates for my fee, if you can just take a look.
He hands me a slip of paper. I take a look of the sum and almost choke of my tongue.
Vis
Disappearances are complex. For one thing, there isn't an assurance wether he lives or not.
Vis
But that is only your heart telling you that, isn't it? What I require is facts.
Vis
If your unable to afford that fee, then you are free to leave.
Vis
I would also like to request you not to reveal the whereabout of this office. I rather like this place.
Rose
You're the best bet I have. There must have been something I can do.
Rose
I can be your secretary! or maybe I can clean for you. I'll do anything!
Vis
Anything... That is a risky word to come out of a young ladies mouth.
Vis
Are you sure you are willing to do... Anything?
Vis
I jest. I have no interests whatsoever in what your physique has to offer.
Rose
(is he saying I'm not his type...?😶)
Vis
Hmm... but there is one thing you can do for me. If you can do this, I'll do the job for you.
Vis
I admire your dedication. Here, take this slip of paper.
Vis
Three days from now at six of afternoon, the Shirley temple will depart and head to the city of Alisaz.
Vis
I want you to take this package with you and board that train.
Rose
But... all I have to do is carry this and head back...?
I lift the package up. it seems to be some kind of box wrapped in cloth. Inside, I could feel the content sloshing about.
Vis smiles at me mysteriously, resting his chin on his hand.
Vis
You'll understand eventually when you get on that train.
