Unknown Location

0000 a.m.

I shook my body so that the plastic bag sheathed on my head would come off. I FAILED. I concede. Try to feel the surroundings. Maybe I know the place. Unfortunately, no. My hands and feet are tied. MY BODY TIGHTEN UP WITH ROPE. All I saw was darkness. They closed my eyes. Only the ear can hear everything. Only the nose can smell everything. Only the mouth can taste everything. I'm stuck. No voice was heard. Only the sound of plastic on the floor was dragged by the wind. I shouted. No one answered.

Except the one who's in the floor. It's a woman too. She cried. "Who is there?" I asked without hesitation.
She kept crying. She just say, "Please call the police. I'm begging if someone got the phone. Please I'm scared..."

"Don't worry, kid. I got my phone in my pocket. It's in the back. Try to use your energy to take it."

----------------

"BAHAHAHAHAHAH. THERE WAS NO ONE EXCEPT YOU AND ME, FRANCISCA BRIDGETONE." Her voice changed.

Then suddenly she laughed. Am I just being fooled? She pranked me. Oh shit. Now she taking my phone.

"HAHA ... YOU GAVE ME YOUR PHONE HAHAHA."

I am truly fear with this people. The way she laughed really makes me JUMPED IN CONCLUSION TO GET KNOW HER VOICE BUT I CAN'T. Because of what? She wore a robotic sound so when she speak, only female robotic in formal voice I can hear.

"Who the fuck are you?!", I groaned. Trying to shake my body as she tighten up the tie. "Don't worry, girl. We already kill your Alex. Now what do you want us to do?" I could feel she bowing and whispering in my ear. "What? No!"

"Help! Help!!! Please help me! Hel-"

"Nobody gonna save ya in here, buddy. This place is restricted areas and away from villages or towns. So feel free to shout out til your lung give up."

"Who are you?! Let me goooooo. Please. I promise I won't tell the police about this. Please."

"Shut up! If you don't want to die in brutal way, shut the fuck up and sit quietly. Do you hear me? Hey!"

I'm too scared. So I shut my mouth carefully.

--------------

"See? Things get easier if you act like this. I hate you and I wanna kill you but my buddy will shoot me if I kill you without her permission."

"That's a bullshit! Y'all have ever realize you guys are having a problem with mental health right now? Let me go, you piece of bullshit!" I stomped my feet.

"If only I had a chance to kill you ... " She kicked the chair I sat on. I fell on the floor and feel the liquid in my forehead. "Ouch..." I smelled the liquid.

Blood.

"C'mon, wake up. I'm gonna leave you in one room." She tried to stand me up. "Could you please stand up? I'm not a slave and you're not handicapped."

"Who are you guys... Why did you guys killed Alex ..." My voice sore as I'm drained shouting at her but nothing changed. She kept pulled me away and threw me away without feeling in one room. I heard the sound of an iron fence being pushed.

"Oh yea I forgot to feed you. I will open the plastic bag outta from your head so please, DON'T DO ANYTHING OR ELSE YOU'LL BE DOOMED."

"My hands and legs were tied, you punk." I can't wait to see her fucking face.

Shirk...

I blinked my eyes so I could see the normal light and I slowly landed looking up. I ...

"Rowe... Rowena St-te-lla? Rowena Stella? Is that really you?" I blinked my eyes for several times.

She smirked evilly. "It's me, dearest friend. IT IS ME."

"I ...I..."

She put the box of food and a case of bottled water on one of chairs in that room. She smelled the food before took the spoon and fork out.

"Don't talk too much. I'll bribe you. It's my cuisine. Meatball and hamburger plus a cold syrup... C'mon, open your mouth." She became soft for a moment.

I'm trying to hold my tears so she won't see. I opened my mouth slowly.

"Wiwi, why did you have to do this ...?" I chewed the food even though I had no appetite. I saw the scar on her leg. I started to think rubbish.

I sensed her heavily sighed before she feed me another spoon.

"Don't talk about it. Don't even think I will let you go."

"You was forced, don't you? You did not want to do this job but you're too scared, right?" She looked uncomfortable.

"Shut up, Ciska. You don't have to puzzle me out. I won't let you go. She will kill me if I did that."

"Who is 'she'?"

"The owner of Building of painters. Nonie Nicholas."

I dropped my jaw. "WHAT THE HELL? YOU GUYS WERE THE KILLERS???"

Fuck fuck fuck. I swear to myself I will kill this two chipmunks. I hold my breath.

"Oh? You could say that. Do you think we're not? Do you think we're too young and childish about this? Open you mind and start to think, Francisca William Bridgetone. Remember all the testimonies you got. Scar, the time where you saw Erica Angeline call someone by the time you passed her, and by the time you appeared in Nonie's outlet, Rozzel got hit by a vehicle. Ford Kuga. Think about it clearly. And don't forget about Rozzel. She knew about this too. "

I feel dizzy out of sudden. I blinked my eyes again.

Flashback what happened to Rozzel when I left the building.

Paint Works London--Painters and Decoraters

"Rozzel, wake up! Please! Somebody- somebody please call an ambulance. Please!"

The conversation between Wiwi and my situation was mixed in my head.

"You'd actually saw the one who called the ambulance, right? But you were too scared of losing Rozzel. So you doesn't mind that. IT WAS NONIE, CISKA. Nonie was the one who got a phone call from Erica Angeline before she even called the ambulance. That time I was at the scene too. It's very crowded but I'm just behind YOU. I WAS AT THE SCENE, FRANCISCA."

"What do you mean? So you guys planned all of this? Then what's the meaning of Rozzel's last words before she was admitted to the hospital?"

She was smiling. "C'mon, eat the last spoon and drink this syrup." She fed me but I refused.

"Get your dirty hands off!"

"Fuh. Alright then. Take a rest because we'll meet someone later."

She pulled the iron fence and locked it. She knocked it before leaving the room.

"Think about it, Francisca."

ARGHH!

So they did planned all of this together? That Erica Angeline who I known for one minute was involved too? Damn seal! And Rozzel too ...? Then why she got hit by a vehicle when she's the one who also got involved?

I glanced every corner of the room. Looks old and there's a lot of boxes. I don't know what's inside it. Maybe guns? I thought a way out for a moment.
