Since I Found You
Goldgeld

“Master? You?” Altea knitted his brows. “What are you doing here?” tanyakanya. He looked at Vlad. Look at the man from head to toe. Yeah, feet. Vlad stood without the help of a crutch. “You ...” Altea did not continue his words.

“I had to wear a shitty thing that had been stored for a long time, just to find you. You are really troublesome!” Vlad threw away his face. The man snorted slowly.

“What are you looking for me for? Didn't I write in the letter, I'll leave you all. I don't want to go back to Hamburg with the man,” said Altea. He turned around, looking back at the vast expanse of the lake.

Vlad did not respond immediately. The man walked closer. He was even standing next to Altea, with a height only limited to his shoulders. Vlad followed the young woman's gaze. “The man is your father. Isn't that right?” The Russian man's tone, slowly changed to softer.

“Ya,” sahut Altea lazy.

“Why should you avoid it half dead?” ask Vlad again full of search. Altea did not immediately answer. He doesn't even seem to want to talk about it. “Did your idiot cousin say honestly? Mykola says that you are both liars.”

Altea exhaled with a short complaint. Maybe he should have told Vlad the truth. Who knows, the man can help himself escape from his father's frightening entanglement. “Yes. Willy said right,” replied the young lady. After that, Altea fell silent again. So does Vlad who seems to be thinking about something.

The wind was blowing slowly. It felt so cold, hit the faces of two people who were dissolving in their respective daydreams. Sieseby Village is so amazing, with all the interesting things in it. Too bad to miss. Therefore, Altea did not directly leave the place. No matter how wild an Altea Miller was, she was still a woman who admired beauty.

“Since long ago, my father was already a gambler. When the mother was alive, they were often at odds. Especially now that my mom is gone. The bad habit is increasingly becoming,” said Altea again voiced after a moment of silence.

“I'm already too bored and very sick of seeing it. That's why I'm rarely home. However, one moment when I came back ...” Altea paused his words for a moment. “She said that I should go with her. I was forced, even dragged to arrive at a gambling location not far from where we live. From there, I learned that my father had handed me over to the manager of the place to .. You guessed it.” Altea bowed after telling such a story.

“Is it wrong if I run away? I was naughty and often wild. However, it never crossed my mind to be the comforter of the basket-eyed men. At least, there is still one positive thing that I maintain in myself,” Altea said again.

“Then, what happened after that?” vlad asked after hearing the story of the young lady next to him.

“I heard from Willy, he said my father was often visited by people who owned the gambling place. They even beat him to pieces. However, I felt that I did not have to sacrifice myself, for a stupid act that my father often did. Let him accept the consequences of all his bad behavior so far.”

“You're not worried about him?” ask Vlad again.

Altea did not answer immediately. The young lady again bowed in lethargy. This time, a tear fell on the bridge. “How could I not worry about it? He was my father. Before she died, she told me to take good care of the man. Prepare all his needs. Food and clothing ..” Altea sobbed slowly.

“However, I can't if I have to ..” Altea did not continue his words.

Vlad breathed out slowly. “What is the name of the gambling place?” tanyakanya.

Altea raised her face. He looked at the blue-eyed handsome man. Without him knowing, it turned out that Vlad was also looking at him. They looked at each other for a moment. “Goldgeld,” replied the young woman after being silent for a while.

“Goldgeld,” reset Vlad. He went back silent.

Meanwhile, Willy was tired of waiting near the car. Every now and then, the young man yawned long. He had no idea what Vlad was talking about with Altea. Willy's position at that time, as if being a stalker of two lovebirds who are dating. Uninspiring. “Are you guys going to continue there?” he shouted loudly.

Vlad and Altea turned their heads. The man realized that he had come there with Willy. “Let's go home,” invite the owner of the tall body. After all, Vlad was already feeling uneasy. He was not used to the prosthetic leg he was wearing.

“To my house,” replied Vlad calmly. “My mother is baking a cake,” he said again while turning back.

“I don't want to come with you, Mister!” reject Altea firmly. He slightly shouted, as Vlad was already moving away from him. “My father is there. I don't want ...”

“She's been back to Hamburg a while ago,” sidelines Vlad while turning his head.

“Then, why is Willy still here?” Altea's question was protest. “You think I'll just trust you?”

“Successful, Miss Miller. I'm not a liar like you or your cousin,” Vlad said. “If you are willing, then come with me. However, if you don't want to. I will not interfere again,” he said as he turned back.

Vlad continued his steps towards the pick up car earlier. He approached Willy who looked tired waiting. “We go home,” he said coldly.

Just as the two men were about to get into the vehicle, suddenly Altea's voice cried out. The young lady ran towards them. Altea panted while holding onto the rope of her backpack. “I'm coming with you, Mister,” said the owner of the brown eyes earlier.

“Good. Login.” Vlad gestured for the young woman to get into the car immediately. He opened the door and sat behind the wheel. “What do you want?” reprimand Vlad, when he saw Willy was about to enter and told Altea to shift.

“I ...” Willy was stunned as he held the car door open.

“Close the door!” decreed Vlad. He gestured for Willy to move to the back.

“What? Me? In back?” asked Willy to put on a look of disbelief. He was about to protest, but did not have the courage to do so. As a result, Willy was forced to accept Vlad's orders. He climbed into the back of the pick-up car, then sat there with a pitiful-looking face.

Meanwhile, Mykola had also managed to find Herbert. He managed to follow Altea's father's car until he arrived at the cross-city road that connects Kiel City, the nearest small town from the village of Sieseby with Hamburg.

However, not yet arrived at the destination, from a distance Mykola saw Herbert's car blocked by two unknown vehicles.

At a safe enough distance. Mykola pulled over her fancy car, then grabbed something from inside the dashboard drawer. Mykola took out the binocular binoculars and used them to scout Herbert and observe what was happening.

The thick-bearded man got out of the car after several people surrounded his vehicle. They're banging rough on the car door. One of the unknown gang pulled Herbert's jacket collar, then clutched him firmly.

“Don't mess with Mr. Ludwig Stegen, Old Man. He can cut your neck anytime he wants!” threaten the man while continuing to push Herbert's large body, to stick to the side body of the car.

“No. No, Mister! Please give me some time. I'm gonna find my daughter. You know, she's so slippery like an eel.” Herbert cupped his hands together with a frightened face.

“Hm.” The man loosened the grip from Herbert's jacket collar. He looked at his colleagues one by one. The man seemed to be asking them for their approval.

“Alright,” he said moments later. “Cube time a week. Not more. If you fail, I will finish you!”
