Kapitel 29: The Huge Pillow - Bet?

*smack* *punch* *flaming fist* *slap* *kick* *smack* *hadouken* *elbow*

A rain of punches and kicks suddenly assaulted my body.

"You fucking son of a bitch! How sick are you in the head?! You little shit! Doing a joke like that?! Have another kick!" Oscar exclaimed.

The group continued to lynch me as I received more blows but they suddenly lifted me up and threw me into the pool.

"WAIT! WAIT!! WAIT~!!!"

I landed back first and I immediately sank to the bottom. However, I just let my feet touch the bottom before I kicked the tiles so I could propel myself up. As soon as I reached the surface, the pool water sloshed around as I swam to the other side. I lifted my body upwards and the water dripped from my clothes. I was soaking wet as I glared at them but they just laughed heartily. I just shook my head and breathed a sigh of relief before I chased all of them and sprayed water all over them.

"PAYBACK MOTHERFUCKERS~!!!"

"RUN~!!!"

It was chaos for the following moments then I heard Jenny ask, "What did he do?"

My people shook their heads with different expressions but Allan answered, "They called him yesterday and he pretended to be dead. He snarled and growled at the radio..."

"That's messed up."

"I agree."

It took a while before things calmed down before Oscar approached me, "Hey, kid. Better apologize to your girl. She's pretty shaken from what you fucking did. She watched the gates all night but I think she's sleeping in her room now."

"All night? I did too at the store yesterday... Hmm~ I'll let her sleep some more first, I need to sleep as well."

Once again, my body felt very heavy and I needed to have some rest. My shoulders were aching and my eyelids were starting to fall. I then bid goodbye and I headed to my house. I also brought the box I took from the supermarket while I let Rin handle where Allan and the rest could lay their heads on.

I opened the door to my room and I was greeted by its darkness. I removed my gear and the rest of my clothes since they were soaking wet. I let them occupy a small corner on the floor for now, while I placed the same box in my dresser.

Sleep was all in my mind right now and my bed was just calling for me. I slowly crawled to my bed and hugged this huge pillow beside me. However, I never remembered having it placed there but it was warm and soft, and it smelled really good. I hugged it even tighter and buried my face between these two huge and supple parts as I also draped my leg over it as well.

I couldn't even tell how quickly I fell asleep because, after a few moments, I blacked out entirely while in the same position.

After a while, I woke up feeling refreshed and I stretched a few times after standing up. I even made my bones crack as I pushed against the folds of my knuckles and feet and as I twisted my neck from side to side. After that, I looked for my watch on the floor and it said it was 2:36 PM.

I tidied my bed but when I tried to look for the huge pillow I was hugging earlier, all I found were three regular-sized pillows that were just sitting by my head.

'Maybe it was this one?' I examined one of my pillows on the stack but I shook my head before I picked up another one.

'It's not this… It's not even the right size. Maybe I'm just really tired, whatever…' I nodded at the thought then I tidied the mess I made on the floor. I put on a fresh set of clothes and I started knocking on Kaley's door.

*knock* *knock* *knock*

"Kaley?" I called.

*knock* *knock* *knock*

"Kaley?" I called again.

*knock* *knock* *knock*

"Kaley?" I tried calling for the third time.

No answer.

'She must be outside or something…'

With that said, I decided to go outside and Zeus greeted me by jumping on me a few times. He walked beside me as I went to the back of my house, and I heard people talking to each other. I saw a few of them just chilling and I saw Allan talking with Ken. They were trading stories as I approached them.

Ken's gaze shifted to me and he raised his hand, waving me over, "Hey, dude! Got some sleep? The others are still building the fence outside and Oscar led the scouting party. He brought more people than you though."

"Your aunt told us to rest for a bit more first and the others are still sleeping," Allan added.

"I see," I nodded as I yawned.

All of a sudden, Allan's body jolted as he immediately stood up, "Fuck! Dude! I forgot to tell you, we opened the back of Tiny and it's loaded with two shotguns and several stacks of cash! Well, we wouldn't be able to use the cash but it was a fuck ton!"

My eyebrows shot up as I turned to the armored van which was now completely clean, "Really? What kind?"

"Oscar was so happy seeing them and he said you wouldn't want those, so he stored them in his armory. He called them SPAS-12s or something. The extra slugs were placed on the straps, it looked really cool."

We started talking about other stuff then I saw Rin and Olivia walk by. They saw me see them but they moonwalked away from the vicinity. They quickly backpedaled and avoided my line of sight.

"What's with those two?" I asked.

Ken and Allan looked at each other then they both shrugged.

"Ah— We saw Kaley earlier looking for those two and we saw her pull their ears as she dragged them upstairs," Ken said.

"Why though?"

"We're not really sure… they both have been silent the whole time and they won't speak of it. Women stuff maybe?" Allan raised his hands up.

"Is that so? Better not to talk about it then."

"Oh, right. Allan, I'm gonna need my gun back," I said as I held my hand out.

"B-But, I already named it!"

"It already has a name. It's called 'My Gun'."

"Can I have the shiny one, at least?! The M9 or whatever you call it!"

"Nope, that's 'My Gun 2'. I'll lend you one if you're outside with the scouting party or if you are on guard duty."

"Did you just? N-Nevermind…" Ken muttered.

"Great! I'm gonna go outside now!" Allan started to slip past me.

"You're supposed to rest, right? Give it to me for now."

Allan drooped his head low as he reluctantly gave it back, "Here..."

"I'll lend you a rifle later if you stay for watch duty at night," I said.

Allan's face lightened up then we continued trading stories.

I left them after a few minutes and I stood on the catwalk. I jumped a few times and checked its durability. It held perfectly and there was no wobble of any sort.

As I looked down, the construction group was still working on the second layer of the fence and they waved at me when they saw me looking at them. I lifted myself up then I sat on the edge of the wall as I watched them work. I then looked at the ropes under me and I said to them, "Have you tested the ropes yet?"

"We only pulled on it for a bit but we never climbed on it," Unc Zeidrick replied.

"I'll test it while you guys work on the fence then," I said.

I called Ken and Allan over as I checked each rope for damages. After that, I threw all of them down on the other side. Since there were three ropes on each wall, we three checked it at the same time.

"Hey, man… before we start, arms only, okay? Wanna have a bet though, you chicken shits?" Ken said, grinning wickedly.

"A pistol maybe? My pistol?" Allan said.

"What happens if both of you lose then? What are you gonna give me then?"

"We're gonna—" Allan was about to give a suggestion but I cut him off.

"Hold on, why is this a 2-on-1 now? It's supposed to be a three-way, right?"

"One wish then? Free gun or anything the other guy says?" Ken said, giving a fair bet.

"Okay, bet."

"Bet."

"Bet, bitch."

'A level 9 spell eh?'

The guys working at the fence got riled up when they heard us, so they decided to rest and watch for a while. Cheers started to erupt and some of the people inside were watching us from above the catwalk. We positioned ourselves with one hand on the rope but Ken removed his jacket.

His muscles bulged and he started to flex them in front of everybody. Allan's jaw dropped when he saw his guns and I removed my weapons first so there would be no obstructions in my movement. With that said, the crowd then began the countdown for us.

"3… 2… 1… GO~!!!"

We started climbing as fast as we could but as I was about to reach the top, they were already celebrating Ken's victory. He reached the top a fraction of a second faster than me while Allan was a few seconds behind.

I was smiling as I sat on the edge and turned to Ken, "Holy fuck, dude!"

"Heh, I just beat ya. No crying now—"

"Shit, I'm out of shape..." Allan chimed in, breathing heavily as he tried to sit on the wall by crossing his legs.

With that said, the three of us shared a laugh before we brought ourselves down. After that, we just tested the other side normally as Ken thought of his wish. I was tying the ropes in place when he turned to me, grinning like an idiot.

"Got your wish now?"

"I'd like a gun, dude. And Allan, shave your head!"

Allan almost broke his neck as he snapped his head toward us, "WHAT?!"

Ken laughed maniacally, "A bet's a bet! Deal with it!"

Allan was devastated to lose his hair but he accepted it nonetheless. In my case, I went back to my room and I thought of a gun to give to the winner.

I entered a section of my room where several guns were displayed neatly. I saw on a corner a sawed-off double-barreled shotgun that could fit perfectly in the bag behind his wheelchair or just at the side pockets just above the wheels. I also grabbed a dozen slugs and a few blanks for it and headed back. The two were still by the catwalk when I arrived and their eyes lit up with excitement.

"Is this good?" I said as I handed him the gun.

"Fuck yeah, can I shoot it now?" Ken was grinning wickedly as he caressed it.

"Yeah, come with me."

After going to a safe spot, I handed him the shells and I showed him how to operate the gun. I loaded it with blanks first and fired it a couple of times so he could see how it should be handled. I removed the used shells after that and I handed it back to him. He loaded it with blanks as well before he pointed it away from us and squeezed the trigger.

Kapitel 30: I don't like where this is going...

*BOOM*

A loud noise assaulted our ears but Ken followed it by squeezing the trigger from the other side.

*BOOM*

Ken started to rub his ears together then he turned to me, "Why is it still loud?!"

I chuckled as I looked at him, "Hah! They still have gunpowder, you know. Shotgun shells had different loads so depending on that, you could have something that even has a stronger kick or louder boom from each one. But yeah, blanks could still kill so don't just put it against your head trying to look cool… coming out of it with a minor injury would be like winning the lottery."

"S-Seriously?"

"Yeah. Why don't you try loading a slug now so you could see the difference?"

"Sure."

Ken thought for a bit before he pocketed the two blanks he had left in his other pocket before loading a slug in the barrel. After that, he pushed the hammer on the right side down then he placed his finger on the trigger, placing his other hand on the muzzle for support. Once he felt ready, he exhaled promptly before he squeezed the trigger.

*BOOOOM*

Ken's body felt the impact as he lightly jolted but he held the gun steadily. He opened the barrel to remove the used slug and then he handed it to me.

"Holy shit! This is powerful, man!" Ken exclaimed as a wicked grin was plastered on his face.

"Perfect," I said as I gave him the rest of the slugs, "Keep that safe and don't casually pull that out. I'll teach you how to clean it later and I'll give you the tools for it. I have a few other ammo types to give you like birdshot or buckshot but just use those for now. I'll give you more later, don't worry."

"Sure thing man, peace!" Ken gave me a fist bump as we went back inside the compound.

As we walked inside, Allan reminded me over and over that he would be part of tonight's watch duty as he uncomfortably gazed at Ken's shotgun. I just shook my head in amusement when I agreed then I went back on top of the wall to check on the group working on the fences. The group working on it was almost finished with the second layer and I surmised that it would be finished before the end of the day.

The two-layered fence was made with chain-linked fences and it could be opened in two ways. The first layer had wheels that could be slid on the side, making it hug the other side of the wall while the second layer had hinges that could be opened like a door. It wasn't as sturdy as a wall made with concrete but it could definitely hold a few deadheads at a time. It was only the start of our plans and that passage being blocked could allow us to have a larger space where we could move much more freely.

I looked at my watch and it was almost time for the 3rd broadcast. At the same time, I saw Oscar returning with the scouting group formed with my original team plus a few of his own. The truck they brought back was full of supplies and only my uncle was able to ride it because he was the driver. I waved at them and I saw Kaley at the back wearing a visor. I tried to get her attention but she completely ignored me.

'I guess she's really upset...'

Oscar said from below, "Hey kid, slept well?"

I saw my SPAS-12 on his hands and a few blood stains on their clothes, "Yeah. I woke up past lunch but I still haven't eaten though. Did something happen?"

"Yeah. There are a lot of zombies inside this shack right by this internet shop that had a pool table by the entrance. We… What was it again? Right, we killed 14 of them and half of those were mine because of this baby," Oscar said as he tapped my SPAS-12, "But yeah, that's excluding the one at the airport. Pretty good, huh?"

"Uh-huh…" I trailed as I let out a smug smile.

Oscar realized I was looking down on him figuratively and literally before he bellowed, "Well how much is your total then?!"

"Seventy-nine."

As soon as those words left my mouth, everyone else just stared in shock. Their eyes almost popped out of their sockets and even Kaley glanced in my direction before quickly looking away because I was looking at her the moment she turned to me.

"Stop lying, kid! That's like a small herd we're talking about!" Oscar exclaimed while the others nodded in agreement. Despite that, I could see from his expression that he wanted a piece of that action as well.

"Wanna see proof? I'll show you at the meeting later. The broadcast is about to start," I said as I turned around.

I walked down the catwalk and I opened the gate for them. Kaley walked past me without sparing me a glance and I saw Oscar coming from behind.

"Hmm. You took it too far yesterday, kid. Best prepare the best apology you could."

"Yeah—"

"She's fucking pissed, ya know? She took down a few by herself like it was nothing! If we include what she took down when she was on watch duty, it already exceeded mine… as hard for me to say it… I dunno what's really going on between the two of you but it's better to take care of it as soon as possible."

"Yeah…" I replied as I nodded a few times.

With that said, we all gathered by the TV to wait for the broadcast to start. All it had right now was just videos about preserving food and the lesson for today was how to preserve them by using mason jars and by smoking them. However, it was cut off in the middle before we saw the face of the president once more.

We all saw him in his usual attire but we could see the tiredness in his eyes. He started by reporting their own progress in reclaiming Davao City and he continued by telling that a few people from around the country were well and alive, either in the DDR Camps or in their own homes. Oscar's name was even mentioned in passing but all that was said was the island group we were in for our safety. However, the thing that stood out the most was that they showed a video of three zombies standing completely still. The soldiers who discovered the beings even tried to get close as they poked them with their rifles, but there was nary a response.

'A new type?'

They placed those things in a cage to be studied as they received aid from Japan. Three private planes landed at a reclaimed airport and several scientists were in tow. They were flown here to conduct research on the virus and share their findings with everyone. They thought that each country might have received a different strand because the special ones that they have in Japan had different idiosyncrasies. The ones they have were more active during the day and were more mellow during the night, but they were producing noises that made no sense. Aside from that, they reported that the ones from the US were the exact opposite because they were extremely active and violent at night but sluggish in the day. Their team was currently working with this country's scientists but for now, they were just collecting as much data as possible.

The broadcast ended on a high note and everyone dispersed eventually.

I saw Kaley heading upstairs and I got up to follow her. I was about to talk to her as she entered her room but the door was shut in front of my face. I just sighed deeply but I caught a glimpse of Olivia and Rin, peeking by the stairwell. Their faces contorted when our eyes met and I managed to catch them when they tried to run away. I grabbed them by the collar and I pulled them into a corner.

"Is there something you two are not telling me? Why do you keep avoiding me? Did you three fight perhaps?" I asked, completely oblivious.

The two wouldn't look at me in the eye and for the life of me, I couldn't figure out what the fuck was going on. I already knew that I needed to apologize for pretending to be dead but these two were acting very suspiciously.

Olivia was about to cry when I crouched down and made her face me, "S-Sorry~ If w-we tell you, Kaley is gonna kill us. P-Please, understand…"

Rin nervously nodded a few times as she started to tremble, "R-R-Right. W-W-What Olivia said."

I was so confused I didn't know what to do but I suddenly had an idea. My eyes were already gleaming but the two gulped as they felt dread. I just laughed maniacally as I locked them in the gym. I went down and grabbed something from the kitchen and went back almost immediately.

"W-What are you gonna do to us?! Help~!" Olivia panicked, almost scratching the windows.

"P-Please b-boss, spare us!" Rin begged, performing the dogeza.

I ignored their remarks as I said, "You've left me no choice..."

The gym was soundproof so it was perfect for blasting music without anyone hearing us from the outside. Eventually, they saw me place a nice clean plate on the table then I added a fork and a knife. They stared at me with confusion but I put earplugs in. I held the knife and the fork and I scratched the plate like a maniac.

*sskksjsfbkbfslgsnladlafavsnldvs*

"NOOOOOO~!" The two immediately cried out. I kept on doing it until I read their lips mouthing 'Okay! We'll talk! Please stop!'

"You really had no idea?" Olivia asked.

"What? The joke that I made?"

Olivia facepalmed as she looked at Rin.

"He really doesn't have any clue. We should tell her first," Rin whispered but it was loud enough for me to hear.

"How? We're trapped here!" Olivia 'whispered' back.

"What?! Tell me!"

"Well, fudge it! We'll let the two handle it themselves!" Olivia threw her hands in the air as Rin nervously nodded.

"Yesterday when you did the... in my opinion, was dark... but a very funny joke..." Olivia started.

"Yeah, go on."

"Everyone was shocked but a few already knew what you were doing. Like Oscar and your family, they said they know you too well..." Rin continued.

"My sister among others didn't really take it that well..." Olivia said, scratching her head.

"And then?"

"K-Kaley stayed all night to wait for you to come back and she did, but... after we ate breakfast, she was sleeping on the chair soundly..." Rin said.

"We brought her upstairs but we left our keys in the pool area..." Olivia said, having a hard time looking me directly in the eye.

"I don't like where this is going..."

Rin also couldn't look at me properly but she dropped the bomb, "S-So... we d-decided to let her sleep in your room since it was o-open and you're not home y-yet..."
