Chapter 42 - Hidden Basement
Chapter 42 - Hidden Basement
After eating a good breakfast we prepared to rest. The Dark Guild hideout was a good place to rest. So, we decided to have a good rest today.
After resting for about five hours it was already afternoon, but we didn't know the time as we were inside the base, then I decided to have a look at the base of the dark guild.
I found Drake and said," Drake you have been here for some time, do you know any place where the base might hold the treasury, as the members of the Justice Force had their face was black while they were leaving".
Drake laughed upon hearing me say so, he began to feel at ease and was not nervous as before. As Alan told him about the leader he always felt pressure as if the leader will ask to do something and if he couldn't do it, he will be kicked from the guild.
Drake said," Big brother, I heard them say when they were keeping us inside the basement that there was a room hidden in the deepest part of the monster chamber".
I looked at him puzzled and said," monster chamber, why the justice force didn't mention it".
Drake said, "only the core members know where they are located, but once I secretly sneaked out from the basement while the guards were sleeping. After I walked a few steps I unknowingly came inside the monster room. As there was no one I hurriedly escaped".
"Next I was planning to take some of us to escape, but we were caught and brought for the ceremony, but we were lucky as we met big brother", added Drake.
I nodded and said," take me to the hidden basement".
Drake nodded and guided me towards the hidden basement.
It didn't take long to reach the hidden basement. The base was opened by a secret trigger which generally anyone would ignore, but Drake found it out, did he know it or lucky I had to ask him again.
Drake said," big brother as those people were already going to catch me so I pressed the trigger as I saw it and thought it will lead me to someplace to hide".
I nodded and asked," what was inside the room".
Drake said, "I know it was already dark inside and no light, I just heard the monster growl and I was scared so I didn't see what was inside it and I just waited for a while and then maybe I stepped on the trigger and next I was out and saw a guard, who fainted after seeing me appeared out of nowhere".
After we stepped inside the basement, I lighted the torch and saw there was just a single white mouse looking at us with excitement. I looked at Drake and asked," Are you sure the monster that made a growl was a mouse".
Drake scratched his head and said," I came inside but I just heard the roar and I was afraid so I ran away".
I nodded and walked towards the cage inside it the mouse was held. I looked at the mouse carefully and saw it was all white and its eyes were deep blue. I don't know I felt attracted towards the mouse for some unknown reason and then walked towards it.
I was still conscious so I said," little guy those poor bastard who was hiding you have already been sent to dark water prison, and now I will free you, but can you follow me".
Drake looked at me with a weird expression as if looking like an idiot, he couldn't help think, has the boss been always been like this.
The mouse didn't respond to me and kept on looking at me. I looked at the white mouse and took out a fruit(orange) and said," follow me and I will give you this fruit to eat and much more good food", saying so I took out the crayfish that Alan had prepared last night.
The smell was tempting and then we saw the small mouse nodding its head repeatedly. I smiled at it then I opened the cage and gave it fruit and shrimp. The mouse took the food and started eating.
I nodded in satisfaction, then I looked at the mouse, while the white mouse looked at me. Then a man and mouse looked at each other, while Drake looked at the scene stunned and said," big brother, this mouse is spiritual".
Hearing Drake voice we both stopped looking at each other. Then I nodded to Drake and said," well let's go, its
nice to have a partner join us".
"Hey are you male or female, if male nod your head once and if female nod your head twice", I said and the mouse nodded its head twice?
I looked at it and said, "If you were a male, I didn't have to think about your name as Jerry was the name I thought but now it seems I need to use my brain".
While Drake looked at the mouse curiously and was going to touch it. The mouse bites his hand, so he could only back away.
Then I said, "okay I have thought about a great name, your name will be white from now on".
After hearing my naming style the mouse shook its head and Drake had a black line on his forehead and said," big brother, can't you think of another name, just telling white doesn't suit its name".
The mouse also nodded its head. Seeing this I once again thought for a while and said," Then let's name it black, you see white and black compliment each other".
The mouse looked at me and shook its head repeatedly, while Drake said" big brother, no female would like to have their name black".
I nodded thoughtfully and then once again I was going to name but Drake said," big brother why don't you name her...yes Lucy, it's a small name for a cute little mouse".
Then I saw the mouse nodding its head, it agreed and then climbed to my shoulder.
