"Hey Mia" Melanie asked "What if one day, we get caught and murdered?" Mia spun around and laughed. "We won't get caught, I assure you" Mia replied. "Wake up guys" Milura called with a yawn. Varian however didn't stirred even a single bit. He comfortably turned and slap his hands right on Mia's lap. "Wake up you airhead" Melanie said as she picked up a tissue box and slam it on Varian's head. Varian jolted up from his seat and rubbed his head. "Can't you just call me with a gentler way?" Varian asked. Melanie rolled her eyes. She gazed outside, then reached for her phone, that was when she remembered that all the phones had been out of battery since yesterday. Her eyes drifted at Milura, who was doing some simple makeup. And then at her side was Mia shoving mints in to Varian's mouth. Melanie slump on her seat, today was extra boring. With nothing to do whatsoever. A sudden tap on the shoulder made Melanie turned around, it was Mia with a serious look. "We need to talk" she said. Melanie stared at the two, even Varian was serious. "Ok sure" Melanie replied. Mia stared at Varian, as if waiting for him to speak. After a moment of silence. Varian sighed. "Hey, Scarlet and Mia, how do you confess to your crush?" Varian whispered shyly. "Oh so this is what it is about" Melanie said.
Mia: Ooh, who's the lucky girl?
Varian: You know Izzy, from our class? Yeah her.
Melanie: Ok so what kind of girl is she? Why do you like her? And...
Varian: Izzy is a very kind, smart and a very pretty girl. And that is also what I like about her.
Melanie: Typical
As they kept on chattering on how Varian should confess to Izzy, Milura decided to check the car's condition. Suddenly, Melanie heard a click at the trunk. She turned around a checked, then slump back at the chair. After Varian finish, the car was felt with silence, they looked to Mia, who was usually a chatterbox was unusually quiet. They turned to Mia only to see a hand covering Mia's mouth.. Varian and Melanie felt a "bonk" on their head as their vision turns pitch black.
PS: "Scarlet" is actually the nickname for Melanie by Varian.

Melanie woke up in the a cell room, the light bulb on the ceiling flicker, she quickly check her watch. "4 pm huh?" She read. "According to my calculations, I have been unconscious for 4 hours" Melanie mumbled to herself. She exited the room with ease, no traps detected. On Mia's side, she clumsily stood up and coughed badly. She too, walked out with ease, the place they were right now was a factory. Boxes stack from top to bottom. For Varian, he woke up and immediately fell down on a random haystack. After a while of walking, weak, tire and hungry, Mia fell down, she regretted not eating lunch, and coughed. The pain she felt in her lungs were nearly unbearable. A sudden hand grabbed her and launched her on something. It was Melanie, carrying Mia on one side while on the other supporting Varian for his sprained ankle after the fall. As the trio limped, trying to find Milura, they felt as if they were being watched, every corner of the factory. Hours passed by with no luck of finding Milura, they slumped down near some ladders. Mia, the weakest our of the three, rest her head on Melanie, huffed and fell asleep. Varian did the same and loudly snored. Melanie there, having a hard time supporting two people on her shoulder while wiping the sweat off her face. She gazed at her watch. "10 pm" She mumbled as she yawned and closed her eyes.
