Friend's Journey Season 3 Next Legacy

Chapter 47

Ethan: (Remembering what Macky said): "Your moment will come when you need to step up."

30 Minutes Earlier

At Classroom

Athena: Mariel, I was thinking of going back to the canteen to buy something. Want to come with me?

Mariel: Sure, Athena, let's go. I could use a snack.

(Athena and Mariel approach the door to leave the classroom, but they hear a click, freezing them in their tracks.)

Athena: Did you hear that?

Mariel: Yeah, what was that?

(A gun clicks, pointing directly at them.)

Criminal 1: Stay right there. Don't move.

Athena: (whispering) Mariel, something's not right.

Mariel: (nervous) I have a bad feeling about this.

(Criminals enter the room, taking Maxine, Joy, Harvy, Clarence, Miggy, Alice, Daniela, Ricky, and Jordan as hostages.)

Criminal 1: (threatening) Everyone, stay quiet! We're in charge now.

Criminal 2: (checking the room) Make sure no one tries anything funny.

Criminal 3: (holding a bag) Fill this bag with your valuables. No heroics.

Criminal 4: (guarding the hostages) Move, and you'll regret it.

Maxine: (whispering) What is happening?

Joy: (whispering) Stay calm, Maxine. We'll get through this.

Harvy: (nervous) Are these guys for real?

Clarence: (trying to stay composed) Just do what they say for now.

Miggy: (quietly) This is insane.

Alice: (whispering) Everyone, stay quiet and cooperate.

Daniela: (looking for an escape route) We need to find a way out.

Ricky: (whispering) Let's not escalate the situation.

Jordan: (eyeing the criminals) Stay focused, everyone.

(As the tension rises, Maxine's phone suddenly rings. She checks it, annoyed by the bad timing of Ethan's call.)

Maxine: (whispering) Ethan, this is not the best time. We're in the middle of something.

Ethan: (through the phone) Maxine, listen carefully. I'm outside the canteen, and I can see what's happening in your classroom. I need you to grab the rope from my bag.

Maxine: (confused) Rope? What do you mean?

Ethan: There's no time to explain. Just get the rope quietly.

(Maxine, still confused, carefully retrieves the rope from Ethan's bag as instructed.)

Maxine: (whispering) Okay, I have the rope. What now?

Ethan: Good. Now, wait for my signal. We're going to turn the tables on them.

(Maxine, unsure of Ethan's plan, holds onto the rope, ready for whatever comes next.)

Present time

Knocking at the door

Criminal 1: (confused) Who's knocking? (They point at each other)
