a man around 48-50 approached them and said " hey listen kiddo"
Marco looked at him and with a slight fear inside he said " yes Mr., what is it?"
The man said " you were the kids from the gaming world last day aren't you "
Marco(relieved a little that it wasn't about the fisherman island) and said " hmm maybe, what's with that ".
The old man said " nothing you just had left something there, I have it in the manager's office if you want that, come and take it " .
Marco " ohh thank you sir, I will be sure to come by during the weekend"
Old man said " and also remember not to got to the fisherman island, I heard there was a bunch of gangsters living in that area so be safe ok kiddo, bye take care " then he turn around and started walking ahead.
Marco's eye widened and and Jim get more sacred by now .
when walking home Marco was thinking something and Jim had fraun on his face Jim asked " Hey marco we will be safe right the old man was just passing by right ?"
Marco " Yes That's what he told and also we are never going back there and not going to disclose any of the information of that day to anybody got it "
Jim nodded but he was still thinking of that incident.

Marco dropped Jim off to his house and then went to his home and suddenly he felt someone across the street is looking directly at him, when he move to side to see, he saw non other than the old man across the street looking at him from the window of the house which just few blocks before his home . But the tricky part is he never have ever had noticed that guy in the neighborhood. He turned back to its position and calmly walked to his house and rushed back to his room.

His mom was in the kitchen doing something, when she felt that marco rushed directly to the room she followed.
When she was slowly opening the room, she heard " wh.. who's there?", when marco saw him he relieved and his mom asked, " What happend sweet lime " ( yeah it's an odd name but who could gave ever stopped mom right), marco shrugged and Said "nothing, just tired of today's homework". His mom said " ok so be done with the h.w so you could enjoy your fav spaghetti 🍝 ok" Marco gave a small smile and nodded in yes .
When his mom left he launched himself on the bed, and was thinking something for a long time then he calned down and started to do his h.w. and went to have his dinners, at the dinner his parents was talking about something.
His mom:- So how was your day honey?
His Dad:- It was as usual and also Christmas is coming so maybe we could get a bonus and 3days holiday from the factory.
His mom :- oh that's Lovely since it's around the weekend.
Marco stayed shut, finished his dinner and went to his room bidding his parents gn .
So there is a holiday around the weekend, I should definitely go to the Gaming station that day .
Saying that he was about to close his windows curtains when he saw that, the old man was sitting outside in the cold( with Fully covered warm clothes offcourse) looking into the street and suddenly looked at Marco's window. Marco quickly shut the curtains and went to bed with fear all over his face .
It was the morning, and some days just passed by and in those days he noticed that the old man literally keeping an eye on him everyday after and before he gets to school also He didn't told Jim anything because it may cause him to take too much stress and just told him that they had to go to gaming world to get our stuff from the office.
Then the weekend came and they went there, Jim was chill but Marco wasn't, he was not showing but beneath that calm face he was hiding something from Jim .......
