Chapter 1 Father
It was in the middle of the night; Kid Muscle was lying on his bed dreaming about Roxanne while drooling at the same time. Meat, on the other hand, can’t even sleep. Even though he was happy that Kid actually defeated No Respect and lit the Lantern of Soul, he was still sad.
Why?
Because of his father, Alexandria Minch. He didn’t know that old man in front of him, the man that liked candy apples, the man that……that…….that Bone Cold killed! Meat started to cry. He clenched his fists tight as his rage for Bone Cold grew but it couldn't be helped. His father was dead.
Dead
Dead
Dead
Dead
“Dead!” Meat yelled really loud. He covered his mouth with his hands. But somehow it didn’t wake up Kid. “He really is like his father”, Meat said. He just remembered that Bone Cold’s father is Skullduggery.
‘Skullduggery always causes trouble for me and Suguru many years ago.’ Meat thought, ‘But he’s not much of a threat for us though. But he’s son is the total opposite of him. Strong, Powerful, Cruel, there are lots of words that describe him.But getting angry and crying at the same time, it won’t change a thing. It won’t………………’
“It won’t”, he said.
He lay back down to his bed and tried to go to sleep.
The next day, Kid woke up from his dream of being almost engulfed by a Beef Bowl. His stomach rumbles and goes to the kitchen to ask Meat if breakfast was ready. But he tripped. When he turned back, he saw Meat still sleeping. He shook Meat lots of times yelling at him, “MEAT! WAKE UP!!!” Meat opened his eyes; he saw a blurry picture of a person, shaking him violently.He grabbed his glasses and wore them and he saw a man with a mask with a pig-like nose. Kid said, “Hey Meat, what’s for breakfast?” Meat asked while rubbing his eyes and yawning, “What time is it?’ Kid opens the TV showing the morning news and answered, “It’s 10 am” Meat was surprised, “10 am! I’m so sorry Kid. I’ll make it up to you. I’ll cook you your favourite dish today.”
Kid was excited and started to sing his song.
Meat yawned again and starts to cook. When breakfast was ready, Kid started to chow down. Meat was looking at his food. Then he felt his head becoming heavy. After Kid was finished with his breakfast, he said, “That Beef Bowl you made was delicious” He turned his head but saw Meat sleeping again. Kid continued, “He didn’t even start to eat. Oh well, It’s my chance to escape”, he tiptoed out of the house and ran away.
At the Hachiko Statue in Shibuya, Terry, Wally, and Dik Dik were there. Kid runs to them and said, “Hiya! Sorry I’m late” All four of them were walking to the streets. Of course looking for girls. Especially Kid Muscle. While looking Kid said to them, “Meat’s been acting strange lately. This morning he woke up very late and he fell asleep before eating. That’s the 5th time this week. And believe me I’m getting worried. Every time I asked him he would always change the topic.” Terry said, “Maybe it’s because your snore when you sleep.” Kid shouted, “Hey, I don’t snore! I think”
Back at Beverly Park, Meat was still face to face with his Beef Bowl. He slowly opens his eyes and realizing that he fell asleep again he rose again and looked for Kid.“He took my sleeping as his advantage to escape me, again” Meat said. He looked at the time and it’s now 3 pm.He sighed and continued, “Can’t blame him. I still can’t get my mind out of it.” He started to cry again. Remembering about Minch, made his heart sank deeply. Kid went home very late and saw Meat still crying in the table with his untouched Beef Bowl but covered with tears.
Kid Muscle becomes worried.
