19. Where do we leave it?

We get to a shop.

P:”Quickly, you said.”

R:”Night’s falling.”

He’s drowning.

He always look ass-stressed.

Now’s just worse.

P:”We get in there?”

R:”The building, behind.”

P:”Storage?”

R:”Yes.

The shop itself is tightly guarded.

It opens at night.”

P:”Tightly?”

R:”Yes.

Except 1 area.

A 1 unit storage room.”

P:”Where we’ll store the sphere?”

R:”Yes.”

P:”…”

R:”It was formerly used by the shop’s owner.

I bought it.”

P:”We can’t take advantage of the surveillance.”

R:”Patrols are dispatched around the shop.

They cover a third of the block.”

P:”Us?”

R:”They don’t consider me as an external element.”

P:”…”

R:”If we keep quiet, no ill will come to us.”

P:”The shop owner, you know it?”

R:”I had to contract with him to acquire this property.”

P:”Not much.”

R:”What do you know of your own relatives?”

P:”…”

R:”You look preoccupied.”

P:”Why is the shop guarded?”

R:”Later.”

P:”What do they sell?”

R:”Really.

Later.”

We get in the store room.

R:”What are you thinking about?”

P:”It’s fine here.”

R:”You can’t live here.”

P:”There’s just enough room for 1 person.

Maybe 2.”

R:”Truly…”

P:”The air is fine.

It’s close to the Jungle.

Or the forest…

Nighttime is not too cold.”

R:”Stop dreaming.”

P:”Just…”

R:”?”

P:”You haven’t stored much here.”

R:”I told you-“

P:”It will look suspicious.

If you don’t bring more things in.”

R:”I don’t want to own liabilities.”

P:”Store things you can sell back.

Or things you can rent.”

R:”Everything is a liability.

If you’re not able to monetize it.”

P:”You just have to learn…”

R:”What is it?”

P:”I’ll ask her.”

He places the sphere under a cupboard.

In a small compartment in the floor, under a tile.

P:”The floor is tiled…”

R:”It is.”

P:”That’s unusual for a storage room.”

R:”It may be.”

P:”Someone used to live here.”

R:”For the last time.”

P:”That’s the kind of information you need.

You may have bought this place for a lower price than it was worth.

There in the corner, near the window.

There’s enough room for a bed.”

R:”I don’t need to know this.

Come.”

We get out.

R:”I need you to keep this location secret.”

P:”From?”

R:”…”

P:”I understand.”
