Chapter 5: Jobs
Walking down the street of the town near Black Order high, I searched for a job. It was stormy Saturday morning, but no rain had fallen yet. A newspaper in one hand that was highlighted with a few good job offers, and a large sausage in the other just waiting for me to take another bit.
I had already been to 7 stores, but only 1 of them hire me. I at least need 3 jobs, or 1 job that pay really well. Stuffing the rest of the sausage into my mouth I walk into another shop.
It was an auto parts shop, and a big jolly man sitting behind the counter smile at me as I walk inside. There were 4 customer inside 3 man and 1 woman.
I then walk straight towards the counter. "Hello, I'm here for a job." I said politely.
"Hmm..." he said looking down at my newspapers. "The job is mostly heave lifting, it said it in the newspaper."
"I know sir, I'm stronger than I look." I said with a smile.
The man then shrugged his shoulders. "If you think you can do the job I have no reason not to hire you. Just sign these papers and I will get back to you." The man said kindly. So taking a deep breath in I toke the pen and paper he handed me.
After a few minute of signing what seem to be me giving my soul away. I toke a deep breath in and walk out of the shop.
The streets were crowd with people running to and from. Looking up at the sky I saw that the storm cloud had pass.
Pushing my way threw the crowd I kept repeating just one more job and then your done inside my head.
When I felt a tug at my hand I saw a kid around the age of 4 holding my hand as he whip his tearful face, mumbling about how he lost his mother.
My left eye began to hurt as I look back at the crowd of people, and when I saw a nurse from my school walking towards me. The crowd blurred away from view until I could only see the nurse and a spirit chain to it.
My left arm began to twitch and I felt myself move forward towards the nurse.
"Move out the way Beansprout."I heard a familiar voice call at the same time I felt someone grab my shoulder.
The little kids was still holding my hand, and I couldn't help but stare at him in shock. Turning to look at Kanda I saw him glaring down at me. Turning away from him I look back toward the crowd. The nurse I once saw was gone, and my left eye and my arm no longer felt weird.
Closing my eye for a second I look back at the crying child.
"What wrong." I said in a sweet voice, bending down to get closer to him.
"Che, leave it alone and move out the fucking way Beansprout." Kanda said.
Grinding my teeth I ignore him.
"I lost my mommy." The kid cried.
"Well if we go to the police station your mommy could find you." I said with a smile whipping his tears away with my thump. "Do you want to go to the police station?" I ask
The little boy nodded his head, so I stood up and began to walk forward. I had know idea were the police station was, but I hope I would pass it soon.
I gripped the little boys hand tighter as we walk threw the crowd. "My name's Allen, can you tell your name?"
"Christopher." The boy said whipping his eyes.
"That a cool name." I said with a smile swinging are arms back and forth. I then stop turning my head around I stare at Kanda. "And may ask why the hell are you following us." I said biting my lip so I wouldn't shout.
"You pass the road that would lead you to the station." Kanda said pointing behind him.
"Oh." I simple swinging Christopher onto my shoulder as I turn around. "Thanks I guess." I said skipping away ignoring people's stares.
"Stop that." Kanda said still following me.
"Why are you following us." I said stopping completely so I could glare at him.
"So an idiot Beansprout like you won't get lost."
"My name is Allen you girlie piece of shit." I growled.
"Mommy said if you said bad words you'll go to hell." Christopher point out.
"Who the..."
"Don't you dare I." I growled giving him an evil eye. He only glared back at me, but he shut up. I continue walking turning my back to Kanda.
Once I spotted the police station I lift Christopher off my shoulder. The police station was small, and only a few people were on duty.
"Christopher!" A blond women with tear eyes shouted as she ran toward Christopher and lift him up in her arms (she was really tall). I guess she was his mother.
Without saying goodbye I walk out of the police station follow by Kanda. After walking a block I began to get annoyed by the fact that the girlie man was still following me. Turning around I glare at the taller man.
"Stop following me." I growled.
"I'm not following you we're just going in the same direction." If only I could pull this man hair out with making a scene.
4 hours later I found myself face down in my pillow, completely wore out.
"Allen are you ok?" Lenalee ask sitting down on my bed.
"Noooooo." I cried.
