Metropolis ch.9 Lazy Day

Ch. 9 Lazy Day

I slept in the next day, glancing at the clock, it was 10:30 a.m. when I woke up. It was a Sunday so I didn't care. When I left the bedroom I noticed Malcolm was staring out the window, like he did yesterday. I didn't want to bother him so, I left to get a shower. I did pick up a few more things form the market yesterday, so I wouldn't have to wear the same clothes every day.
When I was done I was done I felt like a weight was lifted off of me. I needed a shower! Coming down the stairs I saw Malcolm was still looking out that window.
The rest of the day went kind of slow. I sat on the couch reading the news paper I picked up yesterday. No jobs were available, so I spent my time completing the puzzles in the game section. When I finished I glanced at my watch, 1:30 p.m. I sighed and looked at the door Malcolm was still their. Will he ever move!?!
Bored from boredom, I turned on the TV. Some guy was getting interviewed, his name was Duke Red, the interview occurred this morning in the surface level of Metropolis. Yesterday Malcolm told me that the Mardukes were controlled by the Duke Red Party. Could this be the guy?
"Malcolm, can you come here for a second?"
Malcolm finally took his eyes from the window and came over to me. "Yes?"
"Is this the guy who is the leader of that party you told me about?"
"Yes, that's Duke Red," Malcolm said looking at the TV.
"Wonder what he is being interviewed about."
The interview lasted for about three hours. Although I wasn't paying much attention to it I noticed that Duke mentioned the word 'Ziggurat' a lot. "Malcolm, why is Duke Red making a Ziggurat?"
"For certain I am not sure, but I think it will gain Metropolis more power in the future," said Malcolm still standing behind me. I could tell he really didn't want to talk to me. I turned off the TV.
"Malcolm, come sit with me for a sec." I had to make sure every thing was alright with him. He sat close to the other side of the coach from were I was sitting. I turned to face him.
"Malcolm, just because you know about my arm doesn't mean that I've changed at all."
"Yes, but if you get arrested there's nothing that I can do. Even if you come from Metropolis's closest ally, you have to go by their rules while you are here." Said Malcolm, not looking at me.
I shook my head and put a hand on Malcolm's shoulder, he looked up at me almost worried. "Then we can't let them find out," I grinned. Even though I couldn't see it, Malcolm looked relieved. Soon the noise of someone knocking at my door appeared.
"Wonder who that could be?" I said as I got up and approached the door. I could tell Malcolm was thinking the same thing. The knocking continued as I grabbed the door knob. Who could it be? There's no way Ko would come to the surface level, and no one else here knows me.
I turned the knob and opened the door.
