WIP Stories I Can't Finish

Silence is a Virtue Pt. 5

~+Morning: Town: With Tom+~

Tom had been sent mid morning to a nearby town to pick up something from the post office for Tord. Sadly, he couldn't bring the two little monsters with him on the errand due to restraining issues.

Tord didn't want him getting any ideas of running away so he's holding the two kids at breakfast right now, just the knowledge of it makes him want to roll his eyes.

He was just about to walk pass the next alley when he heard something disturbing in his ears.

"Hey girly, I think you should start paying us after what your mother did."

"That bitch got what she rightfully deserved."

They were talking in Norwegian, but thanks to the small ear piece translator he got from Amy, the leading Red Scientist, he's able to understand them.

Tom looks into the alley way where he see two large muscular men cornering a young girl, probably only a year younger than Tomi. The fearful girl trembling and noticing how frail she looks. The poor girl looks like she hasn't eaten days, maybe weeks.

He decided to break up the two parties to protect the girl. "Hey you twats! Leave her alone!"

The two men look at him with gruntled expressions, obviously annoyed by his intervention.

"Oh an Englishman."

"A puny one at that!"

The brunet swore a vein popped when one of them mentioned how he was small. For a fact he isn't even that small just average!

He uses his quick reflexes to catch the first brawny man in a choke hold, using his free hand to press his gun at the man's temple.

"Leave the girl alone."

The two dunderheads seemed to get the gist of his English and made a haste to retreat. Tom kicks the one he's been holding to the ground, holding his gun out a little longer until the two are out of sight before storing it back on its holster.

"Morons for doing such a thing in broad daylight, to a young girl no less." He mumbles to himself before he turn to face the scared girl cornered up against the wall. Hands on her head cowering as she still tries to close up in protection.

"Hey," Tom said as he slowly and cautiously approaches her. He kneels down on one knee in front of her. "Can you understand English?

The girl carefully looks up to his face before avoiding his gaze. She nods her head once in confirmation.

"Will you follow me? I'm gonna treat you to breakfast." Tom says showing a friendly smile. He wasn't just gonna abandon this young girl out on dangerous grounds.

"I-I'm not hungry." She says timidly until a growl interrupts her after her claim. She blushes in embarrassment and covers her stomach.

Tom then noticed the bandages over her left eye. 'Poor girl, who knows how long she's been fending for herself.' He thought.

"Well you stomach says otherwise," He chuckles as stand on his feet again. Tom offers his hand to her, "Come on now, I say you'll love what food has to offer."

Hesitant, the girl, reaches out and places her hand on his. Tom smiles and pulls her up on her feet.

"Your name?"

"Tika."

~+Meanwhile: Red Army Base+~

Tomi stares long and hard at his breakfast. He didn't have the appetite to eat seeing as his mother figure wasn't present as all.
