Chapter 17: Escape by Night
After grumbling at the railing for a while, Reka sat back in her seat and closed her eyes, as if taking a nap.
Tamia hadn't rested well for the past two days, and she put two stools together and reclined on the humble chaise longe.
Oreo yawned as the sun sank into the eaves, and stood up, ready to stretch, but before he could shake it twice, he heard a cacophony coming from the end of the street.
His eyes widened and he looked towards the Red Stone Clubhouse.
The whole building is extremely gloomy, and it is completely devoid of the glamour of the past.
As his eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness outside the window, Oreo saw two carriages stop at the door of the clubhouse at some unknown time.
After a few more moments, the door of the Red Stone Clubhouse was opened from within, and a group of bewitchingly dressed women were pushed and shoved out of it, some of which were herded into the first carriage.
Oreo whistled, and Reka immediately bounced out of his chair.
Rushing to the railing and looking around for a while, he didn't seem to figure out what was going on.
"What are you doing, throwing darts?"
"It's not about choosing a drinking partner."
Oreo shook his head, "It looks like the City Patrol has given in, and they're going to let the robbers go." ”
As he spoke, another group of people poured out of the Red Stone Clubhouse, each wearing a hood.
They worked in pairs, carrying a black box, and threw the black boxes one by one onto the second wagon.
After all this, Oreo expected that many robbers would follow, but in the end, only two robbers boarded the first carriage.
Reka touched her head and said suspiciously.
"Two people, is there a second round of negotiations?"
"There's also a steam locomotive in the back."
Tamia didn't know when she woke up, and when she looked into her line of sight, something loomed in the darkness, and that was the first cacophony Oreo heard.
With more than a dozen other safes, the rest of the robbers boarded the steam locomotive one by one.
There were more of them than Oreo had imagined, and it was estimated that there were twenty of them, which seemed to be a large robbery gang.
"The first car is a hostage, the second and third cars are lost property."
Reka puts herself in the role of the head of the City Patrol.
"I don't think the robbers will be released until they're out of town, but the steam locomotives are so fast that the City Patrol can't track them without disturbing them...... Looks like all the sheriffs in Turin are going to have to do their jobs tonight. ”
"Hey."
As the first carriage passed by, Oreo said coldly.
"What's in the hostages?"
"Who knows."
Tamia spread her hands, "It's too far away for me to see... But in short, he is a very important person, otherwise the city patrol team would not have watched those treasures alone. ”
Reka said something as well, but was muffled by the whine of the steam locomotive, mostly agreeing with Tamya's words.
Yawning, Oreo shook his head as he walked in the direction of the stairs.
"It seems that there is nothing to do with us, what a waste of time."
"These people eat dry food."
Reka grumbled, standing still beside Oreo.
The two stood side by side under the eaves, watching the City Patrol members who came out of nowhere, and they were running in the direction of the robbers' departure.
"You can't catch up with a steam locomotive with your feet alone."
Tamia booed, and she stood on the steps behind the two of them, looking lethargic and lovely.
"So, Sergeant Tamia," Reika said, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, expectantly, "shall I take you home and rest?" ”
"Our homes are not in the same direction."
Tamia pursed her lips, not knowing whether she was refusing or mocking.
Anyway, she pushed Oreo aside and squeezed through the gap between the two.
Before she could take two steps, she heard an even more annoying voice behind her.
"Tamya, it's a terrible day!"
With her back to Kathu, Tamia rolled her eyes, but replied perfunctorily.
"Sheriff Kathu, don't hurry up and hunt down the criminals, or your bounty won't be worth it."
"There is a big man among the hostages, the grandson of Duke Kogel."
With two of his men, Kathu walked briskly towards Tamya.
He saw Oreo and Reka as he passed the tea shop, but he didn't pay attention to them at all.
After all, you can figure it out with your toes how Tamia of the Marquis's family could fall in love with these two bed bugs.
"Sheriff Kathu!"
Tamia turned around and stopped Kathu, who wanted to walk side by side with her.
"You're the person in charge of this case, if that gang of robbers escapes, your hat won't be safe, and you're still in the mood to chat with me here?"
"My Tamia!" Kathu looked shocked, "Are you concerned about me?" ”
Reka said coldly.
"Hey, Sheriff Kathu."
Kathu didn't reply, but Reka said stubbornly.
"Sheriff Kathu!"
Taking advantage of Kathu's turn, Tamia had already left quickly.
"Hey, Tamia."
Seeing Tamia walk away quickly, Kathu had to turn around and stare at Reka viciously.
"You ninth street bastard, one day I'll let you know what will happen to you that me off!"
“......”
Reka stared at Kathu with a foolish look, then stepped aside and pointed to the Red Stone Clubhouse behind him, the building really looked like a red stone at this time
- It's been set on fire.
Oreo coughed twice, as if to remind Kathu.
"These bunch of crumbs!"
Kathu finally came to his senses, yelling at his two men as he ran madly towards the Redstone Clubhouse.
Looking at his stumbling figure, Reka spread his hands, and there was schadenfreude in his eyes that could not be hidden.
"Look, I'll just say that if you do something bad, you'll be struck by lightning."
Oreo looked around at something and said perfunctorily.
"You're right."
The two walked down the street for a while, and several patrolling guards spotted them, but they recognized Reka and quickly stopped where they were, stretching out their hands to salute.
Reka pretended to be serious and walked past the group with his head held high.
When he turned his back to a few of the guards, he immediately said with a fluttering eyebrow.
"My friend, with such a big fire, I'm afraid the entire Red Stone Club will be wiped out, and Kathu will have good fruit to eat."
"Yes, you're right."
Oreo was still looking around, like a spinning top.
"Hey!"
Although he had long been accustomed to Oreo's nervousness, Reka couldn't help but say.
"You're too perfunctory, aren't you?"
"No, no."
Oreo waved his hand perfunctorily and walked in the direction of Ninth Street, looking sneaky.
After a moment of pestle, Reka followed Oreo's example and turned his head around.
There are a few street lamps on the street, but there is not half a figure to be seen.
Reka paused in Oreo's direction and cursed with jealousy.
"Neuropathy."
