Chapter 24

FAITH

“Where the hell have you been all day?” Mr. Angry Bird rattled in his big deep voice, his accent on hype and doing really disturbing things to me. I couldn’t look up to answer his question. I didn’t think they’d find me that quick. But as soon as I exited that small coffee shop, Mr. Scott whisked me out of the way and packed me in the back of the car like a cargo and then Mr. Angry Bird drove us back home.

We were now seating in their lavish lounge room, the two of them opposite to me. I really had no energy to look up at them. My fingers were suddenly the most interesting thing in the world; so I kept my eyes on them.

“We haven’t even paid you yet. But you had the nerve to actually ghost on us!” It was Mr. Scott who spoke next. I literally jumped out of the seat from how angry he sounded. I didn’t expect that from him. Because he was the cool one, you know what I mean? The fun one who always cracks up jokes.
