Dream I Had Last Night #1

He lifted my chin with the rifle of his gun and looked me in the eyes. "And how old are you anyway? Too damn young to be in a revolution. But not that young, huh?" He licked his lips and chuckled "So how old are you?' I kept my stare and narrowed my eyes. After a few seconds of silence he lost patience and pointed the gun at my chest. "Think it's funny to edge a guy on? Leaning up against this wall making your cow eyes while I walk around the room but you little girls never want to put out. You and your little friends are all going to hell and I'll be happy to send you there." I looked to the side. "Little bitch."
The man adjusted his cap and walked back to his troop. They left quickly, and the disgusting one took one last glance at me before walking out the door and closing it behind him. I let go of the breath I was holding in a loud exhale. I watched the door in case it swung open again to let in another group of sleazebags. My gaze dropped to the nearest table, where the boy sitting at it caught my eye.
He smiled at me and I looked away, when I looked back he was watching me out of the corner of his eye. He was good looking enough, with kind eyes and short, curly black hair. I relaxed against the wall with my arms crossed and he got up to talk to me.
"You okay? Those guys are not to be messed with." He tilted his head. I looked at him, confused. I shrugged and shook my head.
"It seems like I've seen you around more than other people. You a doctor too?"
I shook my head again, and held my hand out, palm up, and made a screwdriver motion with my other one.
"Not a doctor. Not a speaker, either?'
'Mute' I signed.
'Why didn't you say so' He signed back. "Learned sign language when I was little."
'So did I' He laughed 'I'm an electrician.'
"I thought only engineers with degrees were allowed to be electricians. You look barely seventeen."
'Says the- what- twenty year old doctor?'
"Eighteen"
'I was close.'
"Yes, close enough,"
"Back to work everybody! Inspection over!" The grungy overseer shouted over the lounge room.
"I guess I'll see you later."
I shrugged and walked back to my station. When I looked back over my shoulder, he was still by the wall, watching me with a small smile.
