Chapter 6

The phone call awakened Alistair from a sweet dream. An unknown number dared to disturb a good night’s sleep, to which the guy decided not to answer. Who needs a conversation with an unknown caller at 6:30 in the morning? Al declined the call and closed his eyes again, trying to remember his dream.

“Rat-tat-tat-tat!” Someone knocked on his door.

“Adventure again finds me in the morning... I wonder what happened this time?” The young man thought, putting on slippers and a dressing gown.

“Alistair! Alistair! Let me in! Let me in or I’m dead!” Mike’s voice came from the other side of the closed door.

“Damn it, friend!” Alistair ran down the steps so fast he almost fell.

Alistair opened the door and saw Mike in all his beauty.

“My God! What happened to you? Alistair’s jaw dropped in surprise.” His friend’s appearance was just terrible.

“Alistair, we don’t have much time.” Mike said as he ran into the kitchen and sat down on the bar stool.
