" Here's your new home" Kid said, spreading his arms wide showing of the old abandoned warehouse. The man didn't look happy, he stumbled over to a pile of old mattresses and fell down into them. They were surprisingly soft, his goggles looked around the place.
" Well it aint no 5 star hotel but itll do…thanks kid" He thanked him, Kid couldn't tell if the man was smiling because of the cuts on his face. But he took it as he was.
"No problem… Mr?" he asked the man, wanting to know this weirdoes name. The man sat up and his goggles zoomed into him.
"Oh yeah were me manners, Im Jinmin but you may call me Jin." He said stretching out his long bony hand, Kid declined politely looking at his claw like finger nails.
" Don't worry about it, lots of people don't wanna shake my hand!" He laughed, Kid shivered at his laugh it was so un-human like. Kid wanted to leave Jin to sleep but instead he had to get down to business with this deal with him. He pulled an old wooden chair up close to Jin and sat down facing him.
" So tell me about this witch …" Kid said his eyes brimming with intrigue, he needed to know everything about her. The mans goggled zoomed back in and out a couple of times, before he took them off. Kid nearly fell of his chair, Jins eyes were white. Jin looked at him before shrugging his shoulders.
"What you never seen a man with deadeyes ?" He asked laughing, Kid shook his head.
"Well getting back to your question, the witch lives in the deadly woods not far from here, she's pretty powerful but nothing I cant handle with your help." Jin finished stretching, Kid looked at him and decided that was it for today on the witch but his pass intrigued him. Jin looked at Kid and shook his head.
" My past aint pretty kid" he softly said, Kid guessed his eyes could read what he was thinking. He just wondered how he got them.
" Well tell me Im curious and I did save you didn't I ?" Kid pleaded with Jin, who just groaned and fell back into the mattress.
" FINE!" He shouted, sitting back up and leaning against a pillar.
" Grew up in a small village, Parents were killed in a fire that wiped out my whole village, it turns out this demon did it. I went after it and killed it and got its eyes. My life the end goodbye." He snarled before leaning back down into the mattress pile. Kid nodded and guessed it was a bad past, he wanted to know more but decided to leave it for a day.
" Well I have to be getting home Jin, ill come see you everyday bring you food water clean bandages. Something to read and let you rest if that's ok?" He asked, Jin muttered something. Kid walked towards the door but turned round when he heard Jin say something.
"Kid look after yourself it's a dangerous place out their" He said, Kid could tell he wanted to say thank you but thief's never did and they were stubborn. Kid took that as a thank you and left Jin in the darkness of the warehouse.
" Where's Kid?" Patty asked Liz who sighed.
" Same place he was when you asked me a minute ago" Liz replied, they were sat in Kids house waiting for him to return, but it was getting late and dark and he still hadn't come home.
" Probably run into some symmetry themed problem and passed out" Liz said to Patty, who smiled. That minute Kid walked in the door, he was out of breath and his face red.
" Where have you been?" Liz asked him curiously, Kid raised one finger before falling to the floor.
" Is he dead?" Patty inquired, Liz jumped off the sofa and ran to him. She noticed he was still breathing.
"Unfortunately no, he's just asleep" Liz replied rolling her eyes.
"Help me move him" Liz barked at Patty.
