51 The Truth (1/2)
The group was merrily chatting while making lunch. The woman whispered with each other while the two old man, Bernard and Paterno, watched them. The three new faces, Chanchan, Mustache and Bear, finally started a conversation with them. Its a bit misleading, seeing a group of five uncles gazing at youthful womans, but noone have to be worried since their gazes were filled with warmth.
Jun strode towards the group, then sat on the chair beside Evo, who was busy writing things in his notebook.

”Are you writing? That's odd. Never seen you write before.”
”Have you ever seen me without my laptop? That's right. Right now.”
”Your handwriting looks awful.”
”Your brutally honest, and you're not helping.”
”Why? Is what you're writing important?”
”I liked the idea of setting up a store. Do you know that life only starts when humans settle down? The nomads got tired of moving from place to place and started planting. They then made a small community. People gathered and civilization finally started. As more and more people settled down, living conditions and technology finally advanced. Just like what the ancients did. We need to settle down to start something, and a store can do it. People will need food and shelter, even protection. We can offer that, you can offer all that.”
”If you mean killing infected and making the place safe, then that's easy. We also have experience in controlling an area so this should be feasible. But what are you writing?”
”I'm planning for the future. I'm writing everything we know about this new world. This could be useful in the future.”
”We could sell it and earn what? Food? Are we going back to the bartering system.” Jun sarcastically said.
Evo slightly lowered his head and began thinking. He mutted to himself, ”We can't. And if we use the old monetary system, only the rich who are probably hidden on their mansions would benefit.”
Evo looked at Jun, then said, ”We need a new commerce system.”
”Don't look at me. If you want me to kill infected, I'll gladly do it.”
”It's cooked! Everyone please get your plates and line up.”
”Right on time. I'm really hungry.” Jun said.
Evo followed Jun to get some food. They went back to their seats and started eating their food.
At that time, a hand touched Jun's shoulder. Adrian appeared behind Jun as he was about to swallow a spoonful of food.
”You need to see something.”
Adrian spoke solemnly while looking stern. Jun chewed then swallowed the food as he glanced at Adrian. ”Right now?”
”Yes.”
”Okay, let's go and see whatever it is.”
Jun stood up and followed Adrian, who walked towards the stairs that lead to the second floor. Evo got curious and followed the two of them.
”You got any leads? Are they having bad thoughts?” Jun said as they climbed the stairs.
”No, they don't have any guns or any plans. I left when I started hearing moans.”
”Ohhh! They're having a party and they didn't invite me... Those rascals!” Jun said.
Evo smiled wryly when he heard what Jun said. He just caught up to them and this kind of conversation welcomed him. He shaked his head as he grinned. ”Marianne would kill you if she heard that.”
Jun hollowly laughed, then looked below the stairs, searching for Marianne. He found her encircled with other women, who were chattering nonstop.
”Is she you're girlfriend?” Adrian asked.
”No. Where are we going? You need to eat lunch too.”
”We're here. I probably won't have enough time to eat lunch though.”
Adrian stopped in the middle of the hallway, then faced the glass panel on his left.
