"My brother goes by the Name Racine" Adriel stated.
Marcus tilt his head at his words, "No surname? Do you think i would just know someone just-" Marcus paused, "Was the Racine you speak off skinny and"
"Have sharp eyes" Adriel finished his words.
Adriel then remembered the first friend Racine had made in the apocalypse.
"He also travel with a teenager named Alex" Adriel added.
Marcus's face crinkled, "Well I May have indeed know someone who goes by the name Racine however it might be your brother"
Adriel blinked at Marcus's reply.
It was strange on the previous timeline after describing Racine, Marcus would have made him follow along and then the man would proceed to lure him along.
'Was it because i talk about Alex?'
"There was indeed a Racine i come across with. He was an interesting guy yet he was not right in the head" Marcus thrown his used cigarette before Adriel's feet.
"What do you mean by that?" Adriel grind the cigarette butt with his feet.
"He seems forgetful that's all" Marcus said lighting yet another cigarette.
'I didn't know about this'
'I should have paid more attention' Adriel thought to himself.
Racine in his every visit would casually tell him about things that happened to him.
Adriel the scumbag he was would not even pay attention to it.
'If only i could smack my past self for being such an idiot'
Adriel took a step towards Marcus, " Could you perhaps help me find him?"
"Sure, Follow me" Marcus said ushering Adriel to follow.
If Adriel follows him now, He would surely be back to the same warehouse where he was sold into to work on packing cigarettes under Marcus.
Marcus halted on his steps as Adriel's Kampilan was pressed into his neck.
"I'm afraid, We might be going in the wrong direction" Adriel said with a smile pressing the blade deeper on Marcus neck only for it to cut into Marcus neck.
Marcus body then proceeds to turn into smoke and Adriel throws his sword to the side.
Exactly to the side of the Wall Marcus was running towards, The kampilan pinning his sleeve into the wall.
"Hey.." Marcus's face became distorted, "Who do you think you are?!"
The face of an older Marcus smiling to the corner with his hands behind his back surfaced on Adriel's mind.
'That's right one of the suppliers that consistently gave Adriel Cigarettes, Liquor and Drugs.
Adriel cracked his knuckles together, "How about you and i have a bit of a chat together?"
Marcus gulped at Adriel's approaching figure, "I Was just helping you!!! Why are you doing this??!!"
Marcus turned into a smoke once again some of the smoke even entering Adriel's system however he didn't show any reaction.
Adriel's eyes scanned around the whole place, "Its nothing personal really"
He then throw his fist behind him, sending the smokey figure to hit heir back against the already ruined wall.
The truth is Adriel's memory of Marcus was not that bad, With the man always giving him what he wants.
Without asking for anything in return.
Even on his search for Racine Marcus had stayed by Adriel's side.
Marcus had a lot of potential and could have been my ally however.
"I Just Can't Tolerate Your Existence That's All"
It doesn't matter if you're nice to me, If your existence itself threatened those around me what's the point.
'Did you think I'm blind not to notice the way your eyes lingered around my brother, You little shit'
