Price of the Truth

"There, the same exact identical logo."

What? What, is he talking about.

"See, she's getting all nervous too."

Im not. Fuck.

"Look here, Sherlock Holmes, i hate to break your bubble, but it can be just a brand."

"It aint no fucking brand."

He slams the table.

"No brand, atleast that i recall, made full dark black coats, covering every part of ur body except for your face."

"Yea dumbass, keyword, that recall."

"Okay, then, you're right, name it then, name the brand."

He cant be serious.

"Pffh, that's stupid, not knowing the name of the brand doesn't invalidate my argument, besides i keep it as a keepsake for my mother, i dont know where she is, and this right now, is all i have left of her."

Yea, token of remem- Wait, where did mom, wait a minute, if what's Michael saying is true, then, then, where did mom get this.

"Yea, like i'd believe such a obvious lie, i know what you're really here for."

This guy, What is it now…

"It's so fucking obvious, they sent you to kill us all, you're probably a part of those cannibalstic cults and gangs, aren't you."

"W-what, no, i aint, i aint."

"Yea, yea, you aint convincing no one, tie her up guys."

"Please, dont."

I look around everyone desperately, those track tires aint gon last forever.

"Wait, i also have a question about the logo." The quiet one in the back interrupts

"Our leader, well, he also had a shirt like that, i asked where he got it from and he said the same exact as you, that he keeps it as a token of remembrance, a memento or whatever, that he got it from his dad, and its the only thing he got left of him."

Another shirt with the same logo? Leader? What? The exact same logo?

Wait. maybe i can get out of this.

"So, did you believe him when he said that?"

"Yes, our leaders a very nice guy, he isn't one to lie no matter the situation."

"So, why, why not believe me?"

They all go silent for a second, are they gonna let me go? Fuck, all this could've been avoided if i didn't wear this fucking shirt, damn it.

"I- I believe Samuna." Haruta? Thank god, finally someone but it dont seem like she has much power in these type of discussions.

"I, i believe he-." Matias tries to reply but gets interrupted by Michael

"Matias, we know you just want to get in her pants, shut up."

What, ugh, Michael's so annoying, just cause he gave me his share of the food doesn't mean he likes me.

"Dude… shut your ass up."

"I, i believe her too." Zayna? She also lets go of me.

"Zayna? Not the time." Michael says

"I-"

Asma tries to say something but Haruta interrupts

"Guys, if she spy, why they let her out to starve, when we found Samuna, she dying, no water, no food."

Damn, i dont remember nothing about last night, but i gotta give them my thanks, they, they really saved me.

"Thats true." The quiet one adds

"Zara, dont tell me you're also getting persuaded by them, it could've been all a ploy to get to go someone outside and reveal their location, maybe she got kicked out of the organization or something."

So she's named Zara… and this guy, he never lets go, huh, and the worst is he is making a good case.

"No, if true, then why nobody kill Matias when he went to get her body."

Matias, he? He lifted me? I try to make eye contact but he isnt looking my direction.

"Nobody killed Matias to see where he was gonna go, duh."

"Michael, you know that argument is flawed, also Max liked her, he doesn't like alot of people and it almost seemed like Max recognized her." Zayna adds on to my defense

"That doesn't meaning anything, she could've just smelled good."

Max? Who, is he a member or something, why is he not here then? Is he keeping watch outside?

"Max? excuse me but i dont know a Max."

"He's a dog, a husky with heterochromia." Asma replies.

"Stay here, i'll go get him" Matias leaves and goes to get the dog, Max

So not a new member, he's just a dog, just a

A husky

With heterochromia?

Chester.

It must be, i remember now, i remember yesterday.

"Wait, i used to have a dog, a husky with heterochromia exactly."

"You never stop lying do you, okay then, what colour are his eyes." Michael replies

"Dark Brown and Blue." I immediately answer with confidence.

"She's right." Zayna remarks

"Thats just a lucky guess." He crosses his arms and pouts a little and Matias returns with the dog, it

It really is him, Chester.

We make eye contact and we immediately jump towards eachother, he lands in my arms and we hug.

"Oh Chester, I've missed you so much, i knew you were alive."

"Damn, she, she must be good with anima-"

Zara taps Michael by the shoulder

"Let it go already, and you're gonna have to apologize, massively."

"Ah fuck, yea, yea." Michael scratches his head and gets up.

I let a sigh of relief go hearing Michael and Zara, as i finish reuniting with Chester and let him go.

"So, we first saved your dog, now you, you gonn stay Sumana?" I turn my face around as Matias grabs me on the shoulder from behind and asks with a smile on his face

"I cant."
