"Nice to meet you, Lucien", the guy said me."I've never met you before... Are you local?"
"No, I'm not local... But I live in Newcrest really long time. I wasn't long time here.."
"Oh... Ok... But you came first time in our gym, right?"
"Yep... And you? Do you live in Newcrest?"
"No... I live in a small village near Newcrest. Westray. Have you been there?"
"No..." I shook my head.
"Then you should to come. It's a very nice place."
"Then you are lucky to live there," I smiled motioning.
"Not so lucky as you think!" Joshua laughed. " A rent is very expensive there and I lost my work, so..."
"No, I'm not local... But I live in Newcrest really long time. I wasn't long time here.."

"Not so lucky as you think!" Joshua laughed. " A rent is very expensive there and I lost my work, so..."
"Oh... It's really bad..."
"Yes, but life still goes, right?" Joshua smiled looking at my eyes. His eyes were neither brown nor red, their color was really unusual, but it seemed me very nice.
"Sure, optimism is the best", - I smiled at the guy back.
"Yes, but life still goes, right?" Joshua smiled looking at my eyes. His eyes were neither brown nor red, their color was really unusual, but it seemed me very nice.

"Well, I have to go now, but... I hope to see you again soon," Joshua looked at me and rose to his feet.
"Yeah," I nodded. "See you soon, Joshua."
"Good appetite," he smiled.
When he went away I knew that he looks at me as I felt his glance. I felt something inside I didn't feel long time.
"Yeah," I nodded. "See you soon, Joshua."
"Good appetite," he smiled.
When he went away I knew that he looks at me as I felt his glance. I felt something inside I didn't feel long time.
After workout I went to the night club. I hardly imagine myself without dance, so the night club is the right place for me. The sound, the neon lights, dancing people, good mood... That's what I need. I looked around and enjoyed everything what I saw.
There was Joshua, but it seems he didn't notice me. It seemed he was upset and worried. Sure I wanted to come to him and ask if I could help him, but I didn't dare...
So I just danced and enjoyed the music.
And Joshua danced behind my back... I felt... Like electrified.
"Hi", I heard suddenly.
I turned a bit and saw a man dancing next to me.
"Hi," I answered politely.
"I'd like to give you one advice, man", - the stranger said me.
"Mmm... OK..." I agreed.
"Beware of Joshua, dude. He's not so innocent like he seems", - the man smiled.
I felt how my face gets red, but luckily, there was dark and anyone couldn't see.
"What do you mean?" I chuckled.

I felt how my face gets red, but luckily, there was dark and anyone couldn't see.
"What do you mean?" I chuckled.
"I mean that he fucks all what moves and he'll waste all your money you have. After he'll dump you like some dog and will find a new victim."
'What?!"
"Just what you heard, man... I'm not used to lie."
"Just... It's not your business! I even don't know you!" I yelled angrily at the stranger.
'What?!"
"Just what you heard, man... I'm not used to lie."
"Just... It's not your business! I even don't know you!" I yelled angrily at the stranger.
"I just warned you, nothing more!"
"I didn't ask you to do that!"
"I didn't ask you to do that!"
The stranger felt offended, I could see it in his eyes. But I'll never allow to poke the nose to my life!
"Listen, dude... Calm down, we are in the club, aren't we?" The man narrowed his eyes. "You're new here, so you know nothing about Newcrest."
"Listen, dude... Calm down, we are in the club, aren't we?" The man narrowed his eyes. "You're new here, so you know nothing about Newcrest."
"Are you trying to scare me?" I grinned.
"There no reason to scare such big boy like you, mister X", the man bowed at me. "But even such heroes like you lose their pants and run to hide in the bushes..."
"There no reason to scare such big boy like you, mister X", the man bowed at me. "But even such heroes like you lose their pants and run to hide in the bushes..."
"Yes! I'm already running!' I laughed.
"Laugh, yes, laugh... Soon you'll cry..." The man nodded staring at me. "You are just nave and stupid if you think that you are safe in Newcrest!" Suddenly he raised his voice. "And your troubles with Joshua are just nothing comparing to that what can happen to you, silly! There people disappear and nobody finds them! I guess you heard about Kasanovas... The whole family disappeared! The whole family!" The man almost screamed the last words out.
I was as if frozen. I was so shocked that I didn't know what to say.

I started to dance. It was the best what I could to do in this unpleasant situation. I felt how that man looks at me angrily. I didn't dare to look at his eyes. I knew Kasanovas... I am the one who knows what happened. Well, almost...
"And still... It's. Not. Your. Business!" Suddenly I spitted out. "You know nothing about me!"
"I don't want to know anything about you, man! I just warned you! One day you'll remember me and my words, but I'm afraid it will be too late!"
I didn't answer. I just turned and left the night club.
