I love this house, Mr James but let's wait for my brother and my younger siblings to get here, before we start anything.
Minutes later,. Zeke came in with Taylor and Michael.
Hii?, hope we aren't late. Mr?
James, he said has he shook Zeke's hands.
hah Mr James, am Kelvin, these are my younger ones, ivy and Billy, say hii guys.
Hi Mr James they both said in unison.
This is my older brother, he's Alot older don't let his inability to grow any facial hair fool you I teased.
So Mr Kelvin are you the one buying this property today?.
Oh we all are, my sister here may not seem like it but she's playing a huge part in today's transaction.
Ohk so this house is roughly 250,000 polish Zloty, He said showing us the rooms, it has a huge backyard, the rooms are warm and cozy, with working air conditioner, I assure you there is No termite issues or mold issues, So this house is safe and perfect for your family.
He persuaded, being a realtor.
We love it but 250,000 zloty is too much for us Zeke bargained.
It's negotiable Mr Kelvin, but nothing less than 200,000 zloty. I couldn't go any less.
Ohk, talk to Amie awhile, while I go get my cheque book. Kelvin said pretending to leave to go get what he didn't have.
Mr James?? I called out
Yes?
I looked into the middle aged man's eyes and his met mine.
PLEASE, We would like this house given to us for free and as soon as we finish signing any necessary documents, You would instantly forget our faces and forget about this house. I said with an heavy heart.
I never wanted to use my powers to take advantage of people or steal but, it was the only way to survive, this would cost him losses, atleast we would have a home.
Okay you've pleased him, what about his workers what if they checked their archives and they suddenly become inquisitive about this house, that they know fully well they didn't get any deposits on? Zeke questioned in my head.
That's not wrong.
One more thing Mr James, I said still looking at him, you would go to your office and dispose every file, documents and or archive that is connected to this house, and you'll also give us 10,000 polish zloty.
Okay miss Amie consider that done he said.
Poor guy I felt bad for him, but have seen where he lives, he wouldn't miss this house or the money.
Okay so here are the papers, this is the transfer of property documents, I would need the oldest person to sign here, and here also here, he instructed as he leaned on the kitchen counter, the documents spread all over its surface.
Kelvin will do it he's the oldest Dennis, chipped in.
I looked at him, telling him to keep his thoughts in his head.
Okay, any other documents?,.
Yes the C of O, You know the paper work that states that this house now belongs to you, it's right here, he said bringing a brown envelope off his briefcase, here it take time to read, so once your done reading and signing, just give me a call, I'll meet you back here tomorrow, stuffs like this takes time and you lot don't have any lawyers, I wouldn't be doing this on any circumstances, but I don't know why I just can't stop myself, he confessed.
I took in deep breaths as I watched him leave.
my hands were shaking, and I could feel the cold tension in the room everybody wanted, to say something, but nobody knew the right thing to say.
Are we criminals? Taylor asked.
No baby.
But you just PLEASED that man, he lost Alot of money and he seemed nice,was he a bad guy?.
No, No he wasn't, he was a good guy, I said not making eye contact, cause how could I explain to my little sister that I am now using my powers on innocent people, when I couldn't even use it to protect them against those bad men.
Then why'd you PLEASE him? She asked further.
So, so so we we I I , I stutter.
It's okay have got this Zeke said placing his hands on my shoulder, I drew in slow shaky breaths, my heart beat was faster, and my conscience wouldn't let me breath.
She did it so we could have a place to sleep.It might seem like we stole now, but once we've gotten jobs and saved up we'll definitely pay him back.
You would. She asked and her face lit up.
Of course, we are the good guys he said as he squat to her level.
I mean I used to be in college, so with my know-how I could get a job asap, Cass is almost 19 So she can also get a job. what you and Mickey need to do is relax and be kids. he said.
She smiled, I know, but am not a kid anymore am eight.
Of course, Zeke called her bluff.
I watched Dennis play catch with Mickey and Taylor, they used an old rag wrapped tightly into a circle almost like a ball, it wasn't much but atleast they where content, once Mr James brings in the 10,000 and the remaining paper work I would by some groceries, kitchen utensils, a vacuum cleaner and I wouldn't have to PLEASE any innocent man again, I thought in my head.
We are gonna be fine, Zeke said as he slowly sat next to me at the rusty stairs of the trailer.
She thinks am a criminal, She thinks am a Bad sister. i couldn't stop the tears from coming out my eyes.
No she doesn't, I know this is hard on you, you've never liked using your powers, on people, because you want people to genuinely form a connection with you without being hypnotized into doing so.
Where's this going?, I asked wiping the tears of my eyes with my cloth.
Am just saying you did the right thing, and when we've saved up we will pay him back.
I was silent.
Or do you want me to teleport back home?, we could find mom's old credit card, something in there would be equivalent to 250,000 zloty don't you think?.
Are you crazy? all our cards are bugged. phones, Cars, emails, there's no going back, if you teleport back there you'd be leading them straight to us, they'll come here, take my family away again, I bet they are waiting, just waiting for one of us to go back there. I erupt.
You see? if we go back we die, you did what you had to do to keep us alive, Nobody thinks your a criminal or a thief.
I need, I need a moment, could you leave, I want to collect my thoughts.
Zeke Breath out frustratedly, he stood up and looked down at me, don't beat yourself too hard, that my job. Seconds later he had Micheal in his shoulders, while Dennis tried to lift Taylor too in failed attempts.
I looked at them, and swore that I would to ANYTHING, to PROTECT THEM.
