"Steal what?" said Bob.
"Don't act the fool with me, boy," responded the man.
"We haven't stolen anything; we only just arrived in the city," said Ada loudly and stressed.
"Maybe you two don't know the weight of the situation."
The man approaches Bob and stabs his throat with a knife. Ada screams, "Nooo!"
The man says to Ada, "You see that man?" pointing to Juda, "he wants to buy you as a slave. So tell me, how did you know about the shipment? I might just kill you for mercy."
"Fuck you," says Ada and spits after but misses.
"Bad, very bad," says the man.
Bob is woken up and punches the large man. The man is thrown at the wall, smashing it.
"Don't touch her!"
"Oh, wow, it really fixes my back pain. Okay, let go," says the man, smiling.
Bob dives to punch the large man. The man avoids it easily and counter-strikes, doing a 2-3 combo. Bob is knocked down, and the man locks Bob's neck and arms.
"What am I going to do with you? Firstly, are you a demigod - or a god?"
Ada says, "We are human."
"Yeah, right, aren't we all"
"from a different time?" It shocked the large man.
"Did AI bring you here?" says the man
"Yes," Ada responds.
The man throws the knife that it had at Juda's head, "Kill him immediately."
"Oh, now I understand, he was lying."
"That is what we were saying this whole time," the man unties Ada.
"Don't you also have superpowers? Why didn't you help him?" says the man.
"I don't have superpowers," responds Ada.
"I'm sorry, okay for what happened? Okay, but I don't think we should keep secrets from each other. I am Steve and came to this world around last year."
Bob is woken up, "Aghhh!"
"Chill, bro. I'm sorry," says Steve.
"Bob, calm down. It's alright, he's like us," says Ada.
"Nice to meet you, Bob I am Steve," says Steve.
"Uhh, what?"
"Let's take this conversation someplace else, Sappho, come with us," Steve leads the way.
They go upstairs to a room overlooking the city.
"So, what is your plan?" asks Steve.
"The plan? To meet with AI, of course," says Bob.
"Well, you can't. It would be a suicide mission, no, a stupid mission. But if this was the plan, why haven't you gone already?"
"AI said to come here."
"You have spoken with AI?" asks Steve.
"Yes, at the village. Haven't you?" asks Ada.
"At the village where I was teleported."
"Yes, both Ada and Bob."
"Well, I never stopped at the village because it looked suspicious."

"I see. Now this is the reason why I hadn't seen you there."
"You have more time in this world than me?" asks Steve Ada.
"I was the first one and the only woman to be teleported in this world as far as I know."
"So you have seen all of our people who have passed through the village?"
"I thought so, but it seemed I missed one," says Ada
"Where are they now?"
"Dead," says Ada while looking dead into Steve's eyes.
"Ahh, I see. Clever. Why the change of heart with him?
"Well, he couldn't die and killed the person who came to murder him and wasn't needed anymore for my service. So, Bob may be the last one of us"
"Right."
"Okay, what is your plan then, miss?"
"I want to leave this place, go east."
"Again, you can't. You will get murdered immediately."
"How do you know?"
"I tried too. I took a ship and tried to leave through the sea and got located immediately. You can't escape them outside this place."
"Then what are you doing here? What is your goal?"
"I am trying to kill them slowly."
"How?" both of them asked.
"Well, you see, I am a drug dealer and make people unhappy. So, you can say I am trying to kick them out of this city."
"With drugs?"
"You will see. And also, I want to ask you both, do you want to join me? It's better for our survival."
"We do not know if this is a good idea," said both Bob and Ada.
"Of course, both of you take your time, and let's meet tomorrow again. Meanwhile, you two can go back to the hotel where you bought the room. It should be fine; you get them for free."
"When and where will we meet tomorrow?"
"You will know. Just stay around the West District. You can leave now."
Both of them left and walked back to the hotel.
"What do you think about Steve's offer?" said Bob.
"I don't want to think about it right now; I am too tired," said Ada
Ada said to the woman who caught them
"Can I have my money back now?"
"Yes, yes, of course," said the woman snarkily.
"We are going to sleep in separate rooms."
"We are."
"Take the room on the right of it; it should be empty." said the woman
"Ada, wait."
"Wait, what? You wanted to sleep together?"
"No, but..."
"But what?
"Nothing."
"Goodnight, Bob."
"Goodnight, Ada. Sleep well."
Bob is left saddened, to help to call his nerve, starts to work out in his room.
He works out his abs.
1 min reverse crunch, 3 sets.
1 min plank, 3 sets.
"Today's workout: abs."
Bob, feeling tired, quickly falls asleep, but a noise can be heard outside his room.
