I hate it when people pick me up. I hate it more when a total stranger does it. Oh God, please help me. I kept spinning around thinking of how I am going to kill this person who invaded my personal space. I gave off a sound that made me look like a cat. I hissed through my teeth like I do every time I get mad at something. Just another thing wrong with me.
"You should put him down. I don't think Mister Kitty likes being held." The brown-haired guy said mockingly.
"I am not a cat." I growl at the guy. The growl sounded more like a hiss though and he just laughed his head off. "Screw you creep." I say growing even more mad by the second.
"Wow. You really do sound like a cat." The guy holding me said. I was to mad to put a name to the voice I recognized.
"Yo, Adam. You got an old man with green hair holding you." Calam said laughing at me.
"Some friend you are. Leaving your only friend in the arms of a stranger and laughing about it." I say and he realizes I want down. I float about two feet in the air above the guy holding me and I land softly on the ground.
"Better Mister Kitty." Calam said going into another fit of laughter.
"You will never let this down will you?" I ask angrily.
"Nope. The guy is right Adam. You sound like a cat. Meow." He teases. I push him on the ground which results that I have hot chocolate poured on my head and then I kick him which gets ice cream on my head then I have no choice but to lift Calam by his ankle and hold him the five inches off the ground that I have on him. "I surrender." He pleads pulling out his white flag that he got from a Hetalia convention. "White flag see." He says. I sigh at the pitiful sight that I call my friend letting go of his ankle and dropping him on his head I turn to see the people who started this. "Ouch." Calam says rubbing his head.
"Wow. I never expected to see you guys again." I say looking at the three I rescued the night before.
"You don't take well to touch. Are you perhaps not all that you say you are." Eve said.
"If I were all I seemed to be then that would not be me but seeing how I am all that I seem to be than that creates a paradox my friend." I reply lying carefully without lying.
"One who answers in riddles lasts as long as the snake put in the wild from captivity does." Eve replied.
"In the end does every riddle have to be a riddle or are the answers riddles and the riddles answers." I retorted enjoying the battle of wits. This will end when someone can't reply to the last thing said.
"Having said that I ponder this. While a tiger and a puma roar you would never know they were there but a lion puts itself into the fray as good as others. I have never seen the two interact but then with those odds what does a cheetah do?" She asked the easiest riddle I know.
"Cheetahs are the most experienced at both. Even so I ponder another thing. As was passing a garden a guy asked me this. Red rum sah de-trappa em. What I found out is that he knew said what he meant. What is the thing he meant?" I asked doing a hard riddle.
"Murder has apparted me. Being said to that I ask this. It is greater than God and more evil than the devil. The poor have it, the rich need it and if you eat it you'll die. What is it?" Eve asks.
"Nothing. Nothing is greater than God and more evil that the devil. The poor have it, and the rich need it and if you eat nothing you will die.-" I start.
"Stop. You two will fry our brains by the time you are done. We get it you both are smart. Let the rest of us have a little dignity." Calam said scared that there was more than one person who could do riddles all day.
"I love riddles though." I complain. "Can't we keep going. I mean no one else even wants to go up against me."
"We should go." Rinslet said picking up her purse.
"Aw. I wanted some food. Or even a good sweeper job." The brown-haired guy complained.
"We are leaving. We will eat at the apartment." Sven said.
"Oh man." The brown-haired guy said as he started walking out of the restaurant. Insane People. That is who these people are. Insane People.
"No way. Adam come check this out." Calam yelled calling attention towards himself and diverting myself from my thoughts.
"What is it Calam that you would have to shout so loud?" I ask irritated.
"A twenty million bounty for a guy that we could get in our sleep." Calam said. That got my attention but unfortunately it got the Insane People's attention as well.
"In your sleep. Ya right kid." Sven said.
"Who is he?" Eve asked.
"Where is he?" Rinslet asked.
"Give me that sheet." The brown-haired guy said grabbing at the piece of paper Calam had claimed.
"No." Calam replied angrily. He hates those who take the assignments from us. I roundhouse kicked the brunette and grab the paper to see for myself. I recognized the picture as an assassin from the news. No wonder no one took this. It is a very dangerous assignment.
"Calam. You really need to lay your pride and cockiness down when picking an assignment. This is a well-known assassin. You would get hurt badly if we went." I state holding the paper to his face.
"So you are going solo." Calam said even though it seemed like a question. "You will get yourself killed." He said pissed. Everyone here excluding the newbies knows I can take anyone. That is why people are afraid of me.
"The other kid is right." Sven said.
"No, he is pissed off that I told him he couldn't come. I didn't get my reputation from picking roses. I can take any job on that board. It is no problem for me." I state as I walk away.
"You don't even know where he is?" The brunette said.
"You sure about that." I say playing around with their heads.
"What the hell." The brunette said.
"Language Train. We are in front of a child." Eve said.
"Don't tell me what to do Princess." Train said. I left right then as they started arguing. Well Train argued Eve talked like it was a conversation. Rinslet just kept staring at me as I walked away though. It scared me. Sven had lighted a cigarette then he punched Train and lectured Eve. These guys were definitely insane.
