Chapter 448 A last meal It took a second for Amy to realise what Gary was talking about. Unlike him, she wasn't really into fighting sports, but she had heard the name before, and it finally clicked in her head. "The Altered Fighting academy, but that makes no sense. You're not an Al-" Suddenly, images flashed through Amy's head of everything she had found. The bloody clothes, how Gary got them out of a tricky situation and even more things, including the money to pay for everything. "I'm working with a corporation, and they sponsored me, so I'm an Altered now, but part of the deal is that I have to join the AFA and become a mascot for them," Gary explained. Gary had thought long and hard, but it was impossible to come up with a reason to tell Amy about why he had to leave her, where he got the money from, and eventually, she might even see him on TV if things went well. That was why it was easier to mix lies with the truth, just enough for her not to ask any more questions, but tears started falling from Amy's eyes the next moment. "I...I can't believe it." Amy sniffled. "You're doing something so dangerous..and it's to look after us, and now...now we won't even be together anymore." The tears didn't stop there, all Gary could do at this moment and time was to hug her and pull her toward his chest. Amy continued to cry for fifteen minutes before she eventually stopped. "Come on, let's go for a meal in Burnham High street. It's my treat." Gary smiled. He would never want to see tears in his sister's eyes and would do anything to keep her safe and happy. The two of them enjoyed a nice meal after picking one of the steak houses, which was Gary's choice, of course. Amy didn't mind because the steak was expensive and a luxury. She thought that if Gary was leaving her, she needed to treat him nicely and not let him worry too much about her. The two of them started to talk about the good times in the past and more, and eventually, they got onto the tough subject of what she would be doing next. Gary would be leaving soon, so she was to move in with White. If she needed anything and couldn't get in contact with him, she could go to Olivia or Kai, whose numbers were now saved on her phone. During the meal, Amy kept asking if it was okay for her to order as she whined. The price on the menus put her off and never before had they done such a thing. After she invited the waiter a few times, only to send him back, Gary decided to order for her, and she filled herself up until she felt like her belly was going to explode. After letting it settle down, they decided to head back home. "Hey, don't you need to pay?" Amy asked. "I settled the bill already while I was returning from the washroom." Gary smiled. While they were leaving the shop, two waiters were standing by the door. It looked like one was about to go forward and stop Gary until the other looked at him and mouthed the words 'fine.' They exited without a problem, and Gary thanked both of them. "Who was that guy, they ate around 300 pounds worth of food, and you just let them leave like that? And they're just kids, don't tell me they are the owners' kids or something?" One of them asked. The other waiter smiled back. "Not quite, and to be honest, I don't know either. I know that Olvia Pearl said if we ever see a green-haired teenager, he should not charge him. In fact, I think when I was talking to the others, I found out every restaurant in Burnham food street was said to do the same." The other's face went a little pale after asking the question. "Olvia pearl, well, I guess it makes sense then, but I wonder who that kid is then. Even her own men don't get free meals, and she's not old enough to have a kid that old." Unaware of the discussion between the two waiters, the siblings continued to trot toward their home. In the past, Gary and Amy would have never visited such areas, nor would they have walked so late at night. It was just too dangerous of a place. "Is it just me, or have things settled down in Slough these days? There seem to be fewer fights, scuffles and even fewer colour gangs on the streets." Amy said. "I kinda like our home town now." Of course, Slough still wasn't safe enough to allow his sister to walk home on her own, but right now, she had one of the best bodyguards out there, even if she didn't know it. "I agree," Gary replied, "Things seem to be changing in Slough, and I'm glad they are. After what happened to Mom, I hope no one else ever has to experience something like that again." One of Gary's orders was to eliminate the colour gangs completely. The Pincers, the Howlers, if anyone saw them, were to give them a warning they wouldn't forget and, simultaneously, make them spill information about that day of the attack. "Gary, I never want you to forget about your hometown slough. Even if you become some famous AFC champion, use the money to make this a better place or something. I think this could really become a good town." Gary patted the top of her head and smiled. "Of course, this is my town." Heading home, Gary helped his sister pack the heavy things she needed. The moving company would come in the morning, and he would be off after that. He had left it till practically the last moment to tell his sister because she was so afraid. While in the middle of packing up, Amy was going through some letters, and it caused a question to pop up in her head. "Gary, since we won't live here anymore, what should we do if dad tries to contact us?" Amy asked. ***** Support my Kickstarter : My Werewolf System/ Shrine.
