"Damn! Another one filled with decayed corpse." I said as I opened another grave which turned out to be also filled with a skeleton.
I was at the cetery with Raven and Jacob, who too were digging out corpses to see if there were any gold hidden here or not. But even after searching for a long while, the only thing we gathered up were corpses.
Unfortunately for , Alice didn't know how to do necromancy otherwise these skeletons and decayed corpses could co to use, but for now it was for naught.
'I wonder if sobody did business in skeletons.'
My mind wanders to unusual places again as I lie down over the ground. The search was long and fruitless. Seeing the two still working their asses, I stop them.
"Raven you can stop now and Jacob…" I thought for a mont as the sweat glistened down his skin, "You can keep going if you want."
"I'm the one who's handicapped! You should be worried about more than him." Jacob angrily said joining Raven as they both sat down.
We took a bit of rest as the silence enveloped us, "So… you guys found nothing as well, huh."
Raven shook his head, "Not yet."
"If you're talking about finding a dead granny whose lower parts still haven't been decayed then, yeah I found sothing… I found sothing very strange."
I nod in understanding, "Should have known that would tinkle your dingle."
"Wh- What! That's not what I an-" Jacob tried to reason but I didn't hear it.
I turned to Raven and smirked, "Say what Raven, why don't we both take a walk for... let's say a few minutes." I looked at Jacob's face, "You should be done by that ti, right?"
"What the fuck do you an!"
"As you say, sir." Raven smiled in understanding and we got up.
"Hey! Stop! This isn't a good joke!... This is my manhood we're talking about." He scread as we actually walked away before removing ourselves from his view.
As we walked, I said to Raven, "Do you think he can hear us?"
"Most probably not."
"Good," My tone takes a different wave, "What do you think about Jacob?"
"In what sense?"
"In whatever you deem important."
Raven went quiet for a few seconds before answering, "That kid is a bit of a loudmouth and a lot disrespectful but… as a person, I suppose he is good on the inside."
Then he looked up in the sky as he rembered a scene, "I rember a few days ago, when I was walking through the house, I witnessed upon sothing. A young maid was standing on a cranky old stool and was dusting the walls. But the stool which was old, suddenly couldn't take her weight and broke."
"It was a long fall… and if it weren't for Jacob who stepped into save her, she might have gotten big injuries." Then he smiled discreetly, "Even as he felt the pain from his crippled leg from overusing his strength, he didn't show it to the girl. He also didn't take advantage of her kindness at that mont and just simply left."
"So as a person, I can say he is a bit reliable."
He said all that but I felt that he had sothing else to say that he kept quiet about, "And what is it that concerns you?"
He groaned a bit, "Even with his good qualities, I can clearly see that he, at one ti, was a good person. But sothing happened that had changed him so drastically."
He then looked at , "I'm won't pry but I would be cautious before trusting him with sothing truly dangerous."
I nod at him, soaking in his words and understanding the midst of it. It was as I thought, he didn't change much. It was just that he was angry at so people but couldn't take it out on anyone so it was damaging him. If that anger weren't to be released anyti soon, then it might consu him completely.
Sothing that might work in my favor or not.
As we talked, we rounded back to the place as Jacob leaned on a tombstone with a frown.
"You guys actually left ."
I looked around, a bit curious then back at him, "What happened? You didn't do your business yet?"
"What fucking business! I said I'm not into dead old ladies!" He scread out loud as I put my pinkies in my earholes.
"Stop shouting. Are you trying to put us in cri of grave robbing?"
"But we are."
"…That's another matter." I said turning away, "So one last grave to look then."
Raven frowned, "But we searched all of them."
"Not that one though." I pointed towards the bald fuckers grave.
"But weren't we the ones who arranged it anyway?" Jacob said and he was right.
It was who put him in that grave but there was sothing strange about it. I rembered it a while back at the walk, that this place had already been reserved for that baldy's grave.
Now why would soone, who was very rich and full of promiscuous life, prepare his grave?
It might be normal for others but this didn't feel normal to .
So with that, we dug up the grave and kept on digging underneath before I felt sothing hard.
"Ting!"
"There's sothing here." I say and all three of us work our ass off and finally the face of it was revealed.
It was a big steel box that had been neatly placed 12 feet underneath the ground.
"Shit!" Jacob cursed, "It's gonna take forever to take that thing out."
"But we found it and that's what matters." Raven said.
I pat the back of both of them, "How about this, when we get this out, I will give you both a percentage of what is hidden here?"
That imdiately shone a glint over Jacob's eyes while Raven too felt a bit attracted.
"How much?" Jacob asked.
"I'll give each of you 1% percent."
'Shatter'
"Man… you're quite cheap." Jacob said with a deadpan look.
"How about you do it for free then hah!"
"Can't you see I'm already digging!" Jacob said digging out the dirt like it was jacking off.
