The Auction
While entering the auction hall Anna asked,
Anna
Why didn't we just use the main hall, Jack?
Jack, actually, was expecting that question.
Jack
Well... Tell me, Who are we?
Jack
Sometimes, the best way to stay hidden is by being in the front of it all.
Jack
Well, see here dear, by establishing contact with the owner of the building, we get a free pass for doubt by the staff and the owner himself.
Jack
What I mean is, now when we meet the owner a second time he is gonna act friendly because we bought costly tickets and now the owner thinks that we are good business.
Anna
Oh! I see. so others will let us pass without suspicion because we are friends with their boss.
Jack
Exactly. Wait and see, the owner will come and invite us personally to the gambling area after the auction.
Anna
Oh?! You sound rather confident about this matter, Jack.
The sound of Anna's voice proved her astonishment and surprise of Jack's wit.
Mr. Fredrick Burner
... And now for our last and final exhibit for the day...
The noise in the main hall suddenly died down.
Mr. Fredrick Burner
An Albino-
Suddenly Jack and Anna sprung up from their seats.
Mr. Fredrick Burner
- Alligator from Florida.
They almost seemed dejected.
Jack
What's with this town and Albino animals.
Anna
Yeah? What's next, an Albino Tiger?
They looked at each other.
Then suddenly, out of nowhere, they began laughing.
Their excitement a moment ago seemed almost comical now.
Jack
Hahaha, You should have seen your face.
Anna
Then what about yours?
The laughed for a few more seconds and then stopped. Laughing too hard caused that stomach to hurt.
Well you live and you learn, I guess
Anna
So, I don't think the Snake is being auctioned here. That means it's either already with someone or is not here.
Jack patted her hair as he praised her.
Jack
Well, let's head out.
As they were leaving, suddenly a voice stopped them.
Mr. Fredrick Burner
Mr. Jack... a minute please...
Jack gave her a "told you so" look.
Mr. Burner reached them and said,
Mr. Fredrick Burner
Since you and your girlfriend here, are a benefactor of our auction house, please come and join our private auction.
When Anna heard the word girlfriend, suddenly-
Anna suddenly let out in a small voice. when Jack looked at her, she was blushing red.
Mr. Fredrick Burner
Then follow me please.
They began following Mr. Burner.
While they were following him, Jack decided to tease Anna.
Jack took his hands and placed it on Anna's waist and pulled her closer.
This only added in more blushing on Anna's cheeks.
Anna
Wha-wa-what are you doing?
Anna's face now practically looked like a ripe tomato.
Anna, not sure what was going on, stopped.
Jack chuckled and kept following Mr. Burner.
Suddenly realizing that she will be left behind she hurried after them.
