We made it to the campsite a few days ago. We have just been relaxing and getting settled in. We decided to make a fire and relax around it. Some guys were drinking, smoking, and being loud, so I walked off and went to the lake. When I got there, someone was already there, sitting by a fire they had made.
"Oh, sorry."
I turned to leave.
"You can stay if you're quiet. Unlike your group over there."
"I don't want to disturb you."
"You won't if you're quiet."
"Okay, Thank you."
I got on the other side of the fire. It was nice, quiet, and very peaceful. I laid back and watched the guy across from me. He was very still and quiet. He never looked at me or said anything else to me the whole time. I fell asleep. When I woke up, the guy was covering me with his cover.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm leaving, and you were still sleeping, and the fire is going out. I didn't want you to get cold."
"Oh, that's okay; I'll head back to my friends; they might be worried about me."
"Okay."
I gave his cover back.
"Do we know each other?"
"Yeah, from the diner."
"Oh?"
"I was the cop that talked to you outside until your friend came to check on you."
"Oh, right."
"Do you live around here or just camping?"
"I live around here."
"There you are.!*"
I jumped into the guy's arms. We looked at each other for a moment. Then I backed away.
"Barcode, it's time to come back to our camp."
"I was on my way back now, Mio."
"Another friend?"
The guy looked at Mio and then at me.
"No, this is my brother."
"Oh."
"Who are you?"
"Mio, this is the cop I told you about."
"Oh, thanks for watching over my brother."
"No problem."
Mio grabbed me and pulled me away. When I looked back, the guy waved at me again. I waved back, but at the same time, my brother pulled me away even faster.
