[xx:xx] 17 April, in Theora, with Tengo
I felt like Joker would hear everything I said, but still, the guy was persistent. After walking down a few streets, I found myself in the meeting place with Lucy waiting for me.
"Your personal guard is a woman?" The guard said with a low voice.
"I am my personal guard, so you can go now" The guy shook his head.
"The Joker said I have to stay with you until you leave the city, that's my duty."
"If being anonymous is so important, why do 7 guards follow each participant of the Carnival?" I asked him since it wasn't making sense.
"Joker…trust us, or I should say, he has his ways of keeping us shut"
We joined a caravan, whose destination was Gàron, inside our cabin I said to him: "Great, because I have no intention to stay in this city any longer" The guard nodded again, and said.
"Since I'll be leaving you soon, do you need me to send a message to the Joker?" I looked at Lucy who was nodding no, but I insisted:
"Just tell him that his Mask, was ugly, like his outfit" The cabin's door opened, and our coachman asked the guard to leave since we were departing.
But Before leaving the guard gave us a warning: "Your words…are not wise at all, the Joker will be furious" I interrupted him.
"Then add to it, the Boros' clan has never been more furious, everyone in the Reign should be on their toes" The guard's eyes widened, and he walked away with his tail between his legs.
A few minutes passed, and in that small cabin, there was only me and Lucy. "Tengo! Are you crazy? First, you are mad at me for going easy on our cover, then you blow it like that, what if even the coachman heard us??"
"Relax. That guy worked for the Joker, who already knows who I am. It's more important now for me to tell you what happened there"
"How cool! Mind if I hear too?" As I finished speaking, a man stepped out from behind Lucy's chair. He was slimy, dangerous, and a man I unfortunately knew.
"I can't believe you are not in jail DJ… why are you here? You know I won't talk to you about what happened" DJ moved from Lucy's seat to the center of the cabin, bowing before her.
"I'm here to offer you a deal. I know what city your brother is resting in, and I have a squad of experts on-site" Lucy covered her mouth in concern, while I was impatient to hear the deal.
"Go ahead"
"The deal is, I will send my men to search your brother, and I will bring him to you. But you will convince your brother to work for me once" DJ grins mischievously.
I looked at Lucy who nodded at the idea I was having at that moment.
"Uh? If you know his position you could ask him about it, threatening to blow his cover"
Dj sat in front of me with his legs crossed, and one hand holding his head.
"Do you believe I am that stupid to threaten your brother? Plus I need him for something important, and he won't like it"
"Fine, I accept, but I need to know who these people are?"
"Oh Oh! Don't worry about it, they are expert in finding people, they've spent most of their life doing so, I will soon contact you"
