《The Criminals》Bonus Chapter: Helping a friend
Advertisement
Two days have passed since the day Ramirez has last spoken with that older man and also delivered the detective woman who has not even noticed the fact that the driver he is the man she is looking for because he has the same features, but looks older. On the house of Ramirez, he is staring his morning by taking care of his plants which will be sent in the next three days to the Docks where his best friend has made a contact with Yakuza, the ones who are "guiding" the city into an era with less criminal activity.
Ramirez has observed something at a few of his plants, they have started to not look in a quite great shape, and his first thought was probably the temperature because in the last days, the cold of the end of autumn has started to fall to Ruby City and this is a bad thing to Ramirez. So, Ramirez has to take all of those plants from his garden, putting them into a bag or plastic boxes and store them into his attic which contains a few small boxes with Ramirez clothes that cannot be used anymore because Ramirez has gained weight and a height.
This thing has taken almost one hour, there were three bags which can hold ten kilograms of cannabis, and a medium box which contains almost three kilograms of cannabis. If we do the maths that means Ramirez has gained thirty-three kilograms of cannabis in his attic. After he finished stirring the cannabis into his attic, he is closing the attic and he is going to his room and try to surf on the internet but his best friend, Gabriel has sent him a message. The message says: "Yo, Ramirez! Can you come and pick me up from the Bar? I am quite drunk right now, mate.". Ramirez sighed because he cannot believe his friend is always so obsessed with drinking in the morning, but he replied to the message. "I will come. Remain at that Bar. Which is the name exactly?" and in just a few more minutes, right when Ramirez was about to take his jacket on, his best friend has responded to the message: "I am at Ringo Bar, located between Cinema and also Striptease Club which got one of the best American woman I have ever seen, mate. You should come there one day, mate.". At this information, Ramirez rolls his eyes because his England friend is still trying to tempt him to look for a woman, but Ramirez always tells him the same thing, which not even his best friend doesn't understand, "I don't need a close person as It makes me feel good."

Ramirez leaves the house, he enters the jeep he owns it, he turned on the car by using the key and he drives his jeep from the land he owns it to Ruby City where is that Bar located. While Ramirez was driving, he turned on the radio to listen to some great music while he drives, and the radio post was listening to it has offered some great road music, "Highway of Hell" by the most famous band of rock, AC/DC.

After a few minutes of driving the main road which connects the countryside and also the city of the artificial island called Ruby, Ramirez got another message from Gary and he says it: "Hey, Ramirez! I am in quite big trouble... with a woman.". Ramirez rolls his eyes after he read that message and it is probably about the fact that he just takes another prostitute and he hasn't paid her and she called her bodyguard. This case has happened quite a lot for Gary and also for Ramirez to come there, beat the guy and also help Gary.
In just a few minutes arrives at that Bar, and there he saw Gary, who is running down the street because a muscular guy with a tattoo on his bald head is running to him. Ramirez leaves quickly the jeep, he locks up and he runs after Gary because he has to catch it somehow. Ramirez is running down the street, while some civilians who are on the street are screaming at him to not run or they are looking suspicious at that guy. However, one of those civilians has seen that the guy is running after those two are running so he decides to call the police by using his smartphone.
Ramirez is running so fast that in just three minutes he catches the muscular guy, right when he was about to jump on Gary, he pushed him into the street, where he got hit by a car, who has stopped when he saw that muscular guy was in front of him. When the muscular guy with the tattoo on his bald head was hit by the car, he did not suffer quite much damage, just a few scratches on his back. The muscular guy lies on the street and after a few seconds, he is trying to get up on his feet, but Gary and Ramirez are quickly running from that action scene.

Ramirez could've fought the guy, but there are two problems, one he was surrounded by civilians who have filmed everything and it was probably the best way just to leave, and number two, even if he was started to fight him, maybe one civilian who had the guts could've stopped the fight. Ramirez and Gary are quickly running to their jeep while Gary yells at him.
"Thanks, Ramirez!"
"Just keep running and stop talking!" yells Ramirez at him while both of them are running to their jeep.
When they arrive there, Ramirez quickly unlocks the car and he goes to the driver seat, while Ramirez is going to the passenger seat in the back. Ramirez presses the acceleration and leaves that Bar in a speed, to avoid the police who will come there to investigate the case, even though it is not a crime scene but much more likely an accident or something like that.

While Ramirez is driving his jeep to the street who is connecting the countryside and also the city of artificial Ruby Island, Ramirez, who is driving the car, is asking his best friend.
"What the fuck have you done this time?"
"I-I was just with a woman." says Gary who is feeling like a little kid who is being punished. "I-I didn't know she was a hooker, mate."
"How come you always confuse normal woman to a hooker? Every time you do this. When the fuck is going to learn your lesson?!"
"One day. But the most important thing is, how is cannabis?"
"It is in a good shape." says Ramirez after he takes a left turn. "The negotiation has been changed?"
"No, my friend. In three days we will have to do the deal."
"At the Docks?"
"At the Docks, my friend. And do not worry, they will not bite. They are not acting like in movies, burying bodies in acid or throwing their bodies into the ocean."
"I hope you are right... Also, what did you have a deal with that woman?"
"What do you mean? I just wanted to take her to a drink."
"Sending a woman to hooker to drink with you? How low have you fallen, friend?"
"At least I can get a woman."
"A woman and also a muscular man who could've to beat the shit out of you."
"Whatever, mate. Where are we going ?"
"At my farm, I have to show you something about the weed."

Re-Ordaining of the Chosen
Alea cheerfully hummed as she descended the steps, brimming in upbeat while her colleague, Quarren Leos, shot her a look of skepticism. “So… were you right about him?” he asked doubtfully. She came to a stop for a moment, her humming falling silent before she shook her head, waving her medium length light-blonde hair from side to side. “I was wrong about him.” Quarren raised an eyebrow in confusion at the convoluted response.“But you seem quite happy?” he asked again. “Because I am. But I was wrong about him. He was… so much more than I ever expected.” Alea looked at the sky overhead with a smile. “That boy… no, that man, is amazing. I firmly believe he will come to stand on top of any adversary he faces. He is destined. He is Chosen.” Quarren snorted as he stepped past, shaking his head. “Okay. Each to their own beliefs but you’re sounding like a nutjob. That skinny twig? Everyone calls him a cripple, you know,” he shook his head.“Rumours are always false, Leos,” Alea answered with a disapproving shake of her head. “You wouldn’t know. He is so, so much more.” “I saw him with my own two eyes. I didn’t see anything redeeming,” Quarren rebutted. “Well…” Alea chuckled. “You haven’t seen what I’ve seen.” In the year 917 of the Imperial Calendar, the Great War had just ended between dozens of nations. Farrien welcomed home millions of troops and warriors with the Archdukes of Aerianne and Kanaria leading them at the forefront. Since the founding of Farrien, the Aerianne and Kanarian Archduchies have been pillars upholding the Kingdom from enemies. It was common belief that they possessed special blood blessed by the Goddess Stecia, who gifted the lineage to the first King of Farrien when he first founded the country. All were ecstatic when the current generation of the two Archduchy's, after the war, agreed to let their children wed. The excitement was short-lived however when the Aerianne Princess proved to be a dragoness among men but the Kanarian Prince was worse than even mediocre. The Prince disappeared and the wedding was shortly forgotten as society lived on. Until one day the Young Heir of Kanaria returned to Farrien a changed man, bringing demise with him. Follow the story of the Chosen ordained by the Goddess of Time as he returns to the past to right his wrongs and set things back straight again!
