"Ah... He called, what a coincidence!"
"Yes, Helloo... H-how is this possible?" Rika was surprised.
"What's wrong, Rika?! You look so shocked!" Rika's friend said.
"Nothing, it's just..." Rika then lowered her voice, "Don't tell anyone!! You know the tomato-stuffed tofu I ordered is out of stock," Rika said sadly.
"Which sect are you from?! Eating tomato-stuffed tofu?"
"Yeah, hehe, w-wait, someone's calling?!.."
Rika received a call from her friend's number.
*RING.. RING..* But there was no answer.
[Back to Aswa's place]
"Hmph... Are you done arguing? You kids!" The driver said.
The driver ordered them to get in and tied them all up.
Then they entered and tied up the high school students from Meruya Selatan, "S-senior!!" shouted the female student.
The angkot driver covered his ears,
"You all are so noisy!... Listen!! If you scream again, I will beat you!"
Those words immediately silenced them.
Their hearts pounded hard, sweat dripped from their bodies, and their minds went blank.
"Now walk, follow me!" They ordered the students to follow.
Everything seemed to be going according to their plan but suddenly, "Oi!!... Someone fainted here!"
"Ishh, kids from Meruya Selatan only cause trouble... just throw him away!"
*WHACK* a flying punch.
"Who do you think you are?! Dare to give orders!... Take him and put him beside them!" The driver scolded.
They were made to enter a warehouse.
"Don't be angry, you all are bait to lure your new leader. HAHAHA!" The driver laughed wickedly.
"All done, right, Driver?" Someone came.
"Done, Yud!" the driver replied.
They approached each other and talked quietly, "So how will you call the leader?" Yud asked.
"Don't underestimate a driver! Look, I have one of their phones, so when we inform him, we can call the leader," the driver said.
"Good, good," Yud walked to the kids while patting the driver's shoulder, "Do it now!"
The driver then typed on that phone.
Yud stood in front of the Meruya Selatan high school kids, looking down on them, and the kids looked scared.
Yud then raised his right hand high, making the kids even more frightened. Then he swung his hand.
"Aghh!" The kids screamed in pain, closing their eyes.
It turned out Yud was just scratching his itchy head, "What's wrong with you all?"
"Don't make us panic!!!" They all shouted together.
"Yud, I finished now, my task is done, right?" The driver tried to leave.
"No, there's one more!" Yud said.
[At SMA Meruya Selatan, the class that is different from Aswa's.]
"Whaaat!!" Rika shouted, looking shocked.
"This time what's wrong!!" Rika's friend said.
"My friends are being held hostage!" Rika looked shocked and dropped her phone.
"Wh-what? Held hostage did you say?" Rika's friend then took Rika's phone.
Here, Rika was crying, *Hikkk... Hikkk*
There was a message written, "Sorry, the tomato-stuffed tofu you ordered is out of stock, please buy another time and please no weird orders. - The Fried Snack Seller -"
Rika's friend saw that message and frowned, "Ah, wrong... the correct one is next door." Rika shifted to another message.
It read,
"Your friends are held hostage, along with 10 others. If you want to free them, tell the new leader of SMA Meruya Selatan to come to SMA Joglo and make sure he comes alone or D.I.E!!" At the end of the message was a photo of all the hostages.
Rika's friend looked shocked at the message, "Isn't this serious!!!"
