Chapter 4: Value
After to what he called a long day. Brian have had the time to take his time to rest. He sat on the chair in which some of his clothes were placed and waiting for the laundry. The smell of those clothes started to stink but Brian wouldn't mind taking them for washing. Suddenly, a beep from his phone was heard. It was a message from his mother. Saying that she was informed about the incident and how upset she was about him.
After a few minutes, steps can be heard from the outside of the room. Small stomps of feet was felt.
"It's open Maxx. Come in."
Before the strange stomps can make a sound. Brian knew it was Maxx that was on the door. Maxx rushed open the door and exclaimed.
"What the hell did you just do to me?"
Maxx leaned forward, with two hands on his waist and frowning his face. He was angry with what Brian did to him with the president.
"How come I am the one to pay for that thing?" he added.
Brian just smiled. He never moved from his position nor have the thought to change it.
"Remember what you said at school?"
He looked back to his chair behind him to take a pen from the rack and found some paper. After, he wrote on the paper these letters.
G - O - T - C - H - A
He then handed it to Maxx without letting him see first. Maxx got the piece of paper forcefully.
"Read that for me.Please."
With his mind, Maxx read the word. He made a small smirk and jump to where Brian was sitting.
"Oh goodness." Maxx sighed.
"Cant believe I found a psychopath friend for myself." he added.
Brian who is the couch right now. After Maxx jump to him let out a laugh.
"Well, you indeed is lucky to have one like me."
He then took the cup of tea that is now cold since he served it right before he left the apartment.
"By the way, how did you know that Im the one outside?" Maxx asked confused. He started to inspect if there is any cameras hidden around the apartment but found none. So he directed his face on Brian, waiting for the answer.
"Basing on the sound I can suggest that its a man. Its so heavy to be a woman,s." Plus the rythm of the steps that you alone of all my friends make."
Upon hearing that, Maxx was even more confused.
"Does that even matter?" he asked.
"Take a thought at this. Like fingerprints, we also have our own unique way of doing things. At first glance, you may not see it. But if you observe closely. You'll see it."
"Your really a psychopath, Brian. You really are."
"Oh, you said that word for the secind time tonight. Can you spell it for me?"
"Psychopath?
P S Y C H O P A T H
"Let me ask you something. Does the "H" after the letter "C" mean something? Could it change the meaning of the word if it doesnt exist?" At what point does it even have its value in there?"
Maxx was confused. They where just talking about how Brian figured out that he was the one on yhe door earlier. Maxx knew he couldnt get into Brians mind.
"Wait a minute, earlier we are just talking about how you guessed right that im the one at the door."
"I was not guessing, I was deducting the possibilities who's in the door."
Maxx knew this conversations going nowhere so he should make it stop. As for Brian who is now making his way to find some food in the kitchen, Maxx sat to where Brian sat earlier.
While Brian was busy preparing the food. Maxx saw his phone lying on the table. He then checked first where Brian is and got the phone. In his curiousity and random picking, he clicked the messages. On the first thread of message, he saw the message from Brian's mom. In the message, Maxx knows she qas very upset with Brian.
Is thisthe reason why Brian lives like this? Acts like this? Maxx was bothered. Finally he realized what Brian really meant upon saying those words earlier. Maxx thought that Brian is depressed and said that whats the point of existing if he does have no value.
Maxx knew he has to do something for his friend.
