Chapter Three: Back to the Old Days?
Pdep woke up, he noticed the sun had already gone up.
He thought to himself: "Should we really go through with this? I guess I'll have to think about that..."
Ürstian jumped into the room.
"Pdep, I'm afraid you don't know the severity of this mission, if we don't do this Axenghista might take-over Gielinor!" explained Ürstian.
"Yeah yeah, I get it, save the world bla bla bla. And how'd you know I was thinking about that?" said Pdep while turning his back to Ürstian.
"Axenghista has connections with the Penguins and Gnomes. They're more dangerous than they appear, believe me" said Ürstian, while skillfully evading Pdep's question.
"Penguins? Gnomes?! You've gotta be kidding me, those little creatures won't hurt a thing" responded Pdep disbelievingly.
"You should go talk to Larry when you've finished your quest. Oh, how about you tell your brother and employer that you're gone for a while?"
"Ahhhhhh! I've forgotten about them! Can I go to Varrock and tell them? It'll only take a day!" begged Pdep.
"Sure, go fetch Leroy and that chick" suggested Ürstian.
"Yup!" responded Pdep, he quickly got dressed and left the house. On his way to Falador, he ran into Leroy and Layla.
"Guys, I haven't told Bsan and Boss that I'll be gone yet, we must hurry to Varrock and explain it to them!" said Pdep upon greeting Leroy and Layla.
"Ehh, yeah, I can't really go back to Varrock..." said Leroy slowly.
"Oh Guthix, Leroy what did you do this time?" asked Pdep annoyed.
"I kinda helped an illegal man from Falador hide from the guards in my basement. The guards saw him through the grid, I had enough time to flee, and I think the man did too... Anyway, the guards are looking for me" explained Leroy. (Note: This will be told in my other story)
"So, what, you're a refugee now?" asked Pdep even more annoyed.
"I guess... but you can go alone right?" suggested Leroy.
"Fine! Layla, let's go!" said Pdep demanding, and he walked toward Layla.
Leroy pulled Pdep back, and moved his mouth to his ear.
"Pdep, can you.. maybe not take Layla with you?" whispered Leroy to Pdep.
"Why?" said Pdep out loud.
Leroy smacked him on the head.
"Shh! Now, please don't take Layla with you!" whispered Leroy pleadingly.
"Fine!" whispered Pdep
"Alright Layla, Leroy wants to stay with you in Falador, I'll be back as soon as I can" said Pdep stridently with a big smirk on his face.
"Yay!" said Layla obliviously.
"Well then, be seeing you!" said Pdep, and he left for Varrock.
"....aaaaaaand he's gone. What do you want to do now?" said Leroy.
"Oh you know what I want to do, silly!" said Layla teasingly.
Pdep arrived home, his brother wasn't there, so Pdep decided to tell Boss first. It became dark outside, yet it was only 2 o'clock.
"Better take my coat!" said Pdep to himself, he thought it might rain soon.
He walked back outside, into the direction of the bakery, it got really dark and started to rain.
It was worse than Pdep thought, thunder and lightning commenced. Luckily, Pdep was already inside the bakery.
"Hey Boss, sorry I disappeared so suddenly" said Pdep when he came in.
"Oh Pdep! Thank Guthix you've returned! I was so worried, man!" said Boss, while he hugged Pdep, "I thought they got you".
"Wait, 'they'? Who are 'they'" asked Pdep strictly.
"Well, 'they' ar... ah.. ahhh...hgg..." explained Boss, until his face went all pale.
Boss fell forward toward Pdep, Pdep thought he wanted to hug him.
"Oh, it's alright Boss, no need to hug me while you were trying to tell me... OH MY GUTHIX!" screamed Pdep when he found out Boss was shot by a bolt.
He tried looking past Boss, and he saw a shady stranger sitting in the windowsill with a weird crossbow. Pdep threw Boss on the ground and ran to the window, he saw the person running away into the darkness.
"Yeah you better run! My brother will make you pay!" shouted Pdep in despair.
