Chapter 32: More answers! More questions...
'And now, to the news. It's been reported that the Museum of National History, has been robbed. The police refuced to tell us what they stole, but they said that it had to be professionals. The night guards could report that they saw two persons, but there's possible that-'
"Honestly, can't you turnt off that stupid TV?!" Kai smirked and pressed the off button. "But you have to admit that it is kinda funny. They have no idea-"
"You shouldn't be too confident. It's just been 24 hours. They still got time." Ray said, and dropped down beside Kai.
Kai rolled his eyes. "Ha! Yeah, like that's ever gonna happen! They are just as good to find evidence, like two colourblind slugs...in a bag!"
Ray snorted. "My father is a policeman..."
There was an awkward silence. "Have you ever heard of the famous case, that was solved by those two colourblind slugs, which were trapped in that bag?"
"Nice try..."
"Hehe..."
"I've got some good news, and some bad news." Ray and Kai whirled around to see Runa in the doorway. "What do you want to hear first?"
"The bad news first." Ray said.
"Okay. Well I looked at the GPS, but I dont know what's wrong with it. And we can't fix it."
Kai frowned. "But I checked it! It was perfectly fine! What could have happened?"
Runa shook her head. "I dunno."
"And the good news?" Ray asked. Runa grinned. "I found my favorite sweater! It's been gone a few days."
"That's it?"
"Yupp!"
"Stupid girl." Ray whispered though his teeth, making shure she didn't hear him. "Say it louder, and she'll kick you ass." Kai chuckeled.
"How did Loki break his nose?"
Kai froze. "Ehm, he...fell down the stairs."
"Really? I would like to see that happen."
Kai smiled, and pulled the little box out of his pocket. He looked closely at it, tried to find a way to open it, but it was impossible.
"You dont know how to open it?" Ray asked.
"Does it looks like I do?" Kai answered. "I dont even know what it is!"
"It's a cryptex." Loki sat down beside Ray. He was holding a cloth over his bleeding nose. It was like he looked older now. Kai just noticed some scars on his pale face and neck. "What's a cryptex?"
He cleared his throat. "It's a small box, to keep secrets in. Inside this box, is a small ampoule, filled with vinegar. A roll of papyrus is rolled around it, and that's where the secret is written. If you should try to open it by...well, lets say that you through it at the wall. Then, a mechanism will breake the ampoule, and the secret is lost forever!"
"Then, how do you get it up?"
Loki held it up so they could see it better. "You see these letters and numbers around it? You just have to know the code, and you can open it! It's quite simple."
"Sooooooo...whats the code?"
There was quiet for a while. "Well, that's great." Kai said, sighing.
It was dark. Way too dark. The only ligt, was the on coming from the streetlamps outside the window. Boris sat in a chair in front of the window, and just looked out at the snow. It'd been snowing in over a month now. Boris had seen amny strange things in his life, but... this feeling, was more than he could explain! He felt...no, he couldn't even explain it!
"So, why are you here? I though you was supposed to stick to your mission!" His deep, angry voice, echoed in the small room. A young man by the door, stepped forward.
"I think you know why. I'm sick of this! And I will not finish it..."
Boris rose from the chair, and turned to face him. "And why's that?"
"Times change."
"I took care of you boy! And this is how you thank me? By betraying me?"
The young man snorted. "You didn't take care of me! You tried to make me into your weapon! And you nearly succeded... But I remember now. Now, I finally know what to do! Now...I will try to find all the answers I need! And they are not here. They never were..."
"I see..."
The young man turned, and opened the door. "I heard about the robbery." He turned slowly around. Boris grinned. "And I have my reasons to belive that you helped then."
"I did. And I'm not regretting it."
"You do know what this means, dont you?!"
"I do. And I just wanted you to know...that I'm ready for it."
Kai strenched, and yawned. It was early in the morning. The sun shined over the trees, and some birds had already started to sing. He sighed and took a bite of an apple. The whole thing had given him nightmares.
He sat down around the kitchen table. He leaned his head in his hands, and closed his eyes. There was so mutch to think about! He had a feeling that the revolution had started before they were ready.
"Hey."
Kai looked up. Loki looked down at him, smiling. Kai looked drowsily up at him. "Why aren't you still in bed? It's five in the morning!"
Loki snorted. "I dont sleep. I've been out, visiting an old friend."
Kai frowned. "An old friend? Not Elvira?!"
Loki shook his head. "Nope. But why are you up this early? Couldn't sleep?"
"Nightmare. I've had a lot of them these past days."
"Hmm." Loki turned on the radio, and found a music channel. "What's those nighmares about?"
"It's always the same! Im dreaming that a read haired woman stands in a window, shouting. It makes no sense at all!" Loki turned slowly towards him.
"And you cant hear what she's saying?"
Kai frowned. "Loki. It was just a nightmare! It's not important what she's saying."
"Of course it is!" Loki looked angrily at him. "There's always a reason why you have a dream or a nightmare! I just have one question. Why do you say that it was a nightmare? Why not a regulair dream?"
Kai snorted. "I dont know. Maybe because...I felt scared?"
"You didn't see anything else?"
"Nope."
"Okay." Loki nodded. He walked quickly out of the room, and closed the kitchen door behind him. Out in the hallway, he grinned. He was getting closer. Mutch closer.
I know this chapter was confusing! And maybe a bit too short, but I did my best. I've got a terrible writing block right now! Well, tell me what you think! Thanks for reading! Bye.
