Yelp!Little pyros

Dean left Jade in the room to check the bathroom .

He needed to wash his face and his hair at least ,he had also taken a bottled water for just in case he found toothpaste .

His parents would turn in their graves if they found out he had not brushed in two days and would probably not brush till the end of the next couple of days .

Not washing any part of his body for seven days sounded too scary .

He realized a little after he had left his room that he had never asked where this bathroom that had water was located .

In fact , now that he thought about it , he had only gone up on the day he opened the loft in the attic that was responsible for the Halo in the middle of the church , after then he had not gone up .

Even to see where May and Blade were sleeping and how they were faring.

He walked down the pews and took the stairs from the side Blade usually did .

It would be better to encounter Blade and ask for directions than encountering May and asking for directions .

He walked up the stairs , admiring the church anew as he walked , he had not taken enough time to check out the church but from what he could see , the church was a masterpiece .

The roof tiles had drawings like the churches he had only seen in pictures , drawings of people surrounding a man .

The man was naked and the people clamoring around him were naked too .

Dean did not think there was a part of the Bible where Jesus or any of his disciples had been naked but he had never read the Bible intimately , so he might have been wrong .

The stained windows where another thing entirely .

In the night , they appeared like normal windows but then during the day when the sun was hitting it from various angles , colourful illustrations slowly filled the tall windows .

Illustrations of Jesus on the cross , Dean had once heard that these stained mirrors cost a fortune and here it was , rotting in this garbage town that the WIC had prepared .

Dean sighed softly as he thought of the town , it was too large a scale to think that the WIC might have secured a town for this .

Now that Dean knew what they were really capable of , he had different theories on how they had gotten their hands on a town .

The first one was that they had released the golems on a rampage in the town , the golems had killed everyone and then , they had piled up all of the bodies and dumped them somewhere or burnt them , they had then submitted a request to seal of the town because no one was sure what had happened to the town .

The second one was that they had tested one of their drugs from the WIC pharmaceuticals on the people that used to live here .

Or maybe an airborne disease like Ebola , maybe that had been purposely released in the town and then they had the town quarantined from the rest of the world .

Whichever way Dean thought of it , it was still too scary to imagine .

The WIC was a disgusting corporation than needed to be wiped off the face of the Earth .

But , if everything his cousin had said was the truth , then they were even able to make whoever they wanted to become president into the actual president , there was no way they were getting punished anytime soon .

Something had to be done about them ,Dean sighed deeply .

" Why are you sighing in the middle of the stairs ? "

Dean yelped from the sudden intrusion and jumped back , he looked back up to find Blade at the top of the stairs .

He was naked from the waist up and holding a dirty rag on one hand .

" Hey Dean , don't you think you get too engrossed in your thoughts ? I mean , we only met yesterday and I have already heard more yelping than all the yelps I ever heard combined , including the ones I heard from movies ".

" And songs included ".

Dean glared at him , angry at the sudden intrusion and then the unnecessary prognosis .

" I only yelped because you suddenly appeared , of course people could yelp if someone suddenly talked to them ".

But , Blade shook his head .

" That's understandable but I walked very loudly and I didn't creep about , I even called out your name ".

Dean rolled his eyes and took the rest of the stairs in twos , pushing past Blade when he reached the top of the stairs.

He looked around for a second before going towards his left .

Blade called out to him and Dean stopped walking and turned around .

" What do you want now ? "

Blade pointed to the right and the way he was going to .

" Isn't it the bathroom you are going to ? It's this way not that ".

Blade was smiling as he Informed Dean of this .

Dean frowned harder and trudged back , following Blade down the walkway .

Towards the end of the walkway , there was a door , Dean headed straight for that room .

Just as he was about to open it , he heard Blade clear his throat noisily , Dean chose to ignore it and opened the door.

He closed the door back in embarrassment and turned to Blade .

He smiled casually and Blade returned the smile too .

" I was going to tell you that you were going into the wrong place ".

Dean nodded , acknowledging how childish he had been .

" Where is the bathroom then ? "

Blade blinked , he looked confused .

" I don't know where that is ".

Dean was even more confused , seriously what the heck was going on ?

" But you told me it was not that way and that I should come this way ! ".

Dean was desperately holding back from screaming now , he was becoming increasingly frustrated .

" Yes , it was a deduction ".

Dean looked around to be sure it was Blade talking and no one else , when he was sure that it was really both of them , he looked back at Blade .

" What do you mean by a deduction ? "

Blade cleared his throat yet again and Dean was tempted to shove a golem's arm down his throat , that way he would no longer need to clear his throat every second .

" I was with you all when you made plans on your bathing arrangement and then a few minutes ago , I saw May in only a shirt and barefoot , she was headed past my room , so I deduced that the bathroom had to be somewhere close to me ".

Dean counted to ten slowly from behind ,there were no even other doors to have made him have such an idea .

When he finished counting , he wasn't less frustrated so he just opened the door he was standing in front of and walked into the room .

It was an office , a very simple one .

It looked like a place that had been used for consultations .

There were two chairs before a table. and one chair behind it , the two chairs had been stacked over one another and Blade was drying clothes on them .

On closer inspection , Dean saw that he was drying his fatigues .

Wait...What was he wearing now ?

Had Blade been naked and he had been too frustrated to notice ?

Dean rushed out of the room and bumped into Blade , he stumbled back , holdings his head and sighed .

Blade was clothed in black linen pants , the church's poor lighting had made it difficult to notice .

Dean turned around to the floor where Blade had laid out all of his grenades , he counted fourteen of them .

Blade moved towards them and lifted one of the grenades , he traced the pin and smiled softly .

" You know , I used to stay in an orphanage like this one , it caught fire and I went to a foster home . That too caught fire and the all boys middle school I went to and Highschool ,they all caught fire ".

Dean sat on the floor like Blade had done too .

" Each of those fires , I was never caught and there was no way to link it to me , I was always just the foster kid with bad luck . No one knew about my pyrotechnics and I liked it that way but when my Patron approached me , he knew about the fires , even the ones I had planned and never gone through with ".

He dropped the grenade carefully and stood up , walking to the window .

" The lengths this people would go scares me and... Isn't that May swinging under that tree ?!"

He suddenly shouted and Dean stood up too and headed for the small window , he pushed Blade aside to peer down .

It was true, May was seated under a tree .

She was worried about the fight that she had brought on herself .

" Fire is beautiful to observe but please , do not go pyro on us all and set anywhere on fire , Lord knows if we would have any water to even put it off ".

He left the window perch and turned to Blade who had a faraway look in his eyes .

" Rumbling ..."

Dean listened too and he heard it almost immediately , it wasn't the usual whirring that sounded just like the sound tape players made .

This sound was heavier , scarier and more desperate.

It was indeed a rumbling and it was headed for them .
