Campus Idiots

Chapter 21: The Rescue

3rd Person POV:

The warehouse located in the far end of the city looked desolate. But, there are people in there. It looked like a place for bad men to be lurking around.

Our brave idiots parked their vehicle in a hidden spot quite far from the warehouse so there was no chance for them to be seen.

Heeding the kidnapper's warning, Drix came up with a plan.

Flashback

Drix: You have to go in alone.

Carlo: What?

Drix: But you need to carry this, so we can know if you're in danger.

Carlo took the item from Drix. He looked questioningly at him.

Carlo: A pager? How is this gonna help?

Drix: It'll take our attention when you go in. Through this, we can rush in to help you.

Martin: Wait... So you're saying that we'll just charge in there? Baka mapahamak sila sa planong to.

Drix: Trust me. Through this, we can find out who they are and rescue the girls in the process.

They didn't argue anymore. They believed in Drix's skill when it came to this.

But, Drix has a little plan for the kidnappers.

End of Flashback

Carlo approached the warehouse and was brought in by the guard.

He has his hands in his pockets, one of them holding the pager.

As he waited inside, his eyes searched the premises for a path that leads to the girls.

In a few moments, the boss came. When he saw who the boss was, his eyes widened in shock and horror.

Al: Hello Carlo.

Carlo: What? How? You're the kidnapper?

Al: Yes, I am.

Al smiled crookedly and approached Carlo. Al landed a punch on his stomach causing him to bow.

Carlo pressed the pager's button, signaling his friends that he's in danger.

Drix got the message.

Drix: Let's go, guys.

Martin and JL nodded. The three rushed into the building.

The guards were expecting them. As the three burst through the front door, the guards knocked them out.

Carlo: Drix, JL, Martin!

Drix was still conscious. Al approached him.

Al: Don't underestimate me.

Drix: I know.

And with that, Al knocked out Drix as well.

The idiots were captured.

Genny's POV:

Oh, I hope they're alright.

Bel: Genny, calm down. They'll be fine.

We're driving to the warehouse right now. Kanina pa ko tumitingin sa phone ko para makita kung may text or tawag na sila.

Hanggang ngayon, wala pa rin.

Genny: I wonder what's happening to them right now.

I hope Drix's plan works out.

Drix's POV:

I woke up when I felt water splashed right on my face.

As I collected my senses, I found my hands restrained. I see that we are in a crew's quarters.

Nicole: Karl! Are you alright?

Me: Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry, we'll get out of here.

"I don't think so."

I looked at direction where that familiar voice came from. And I saw the kidnapper--our friend, Al.

Al: Good to see you awake. By tonight, all of you will be dead.

I smirked at that.

Me: You think so? You don't know what we can do.

Al: Well, what can you do? You're restrained and I'm not. I knew about your plan to rush in when Carlo would call for your help. I was expecting you. And since you're all gonna die later, I guess it's good to tell you why I did this.

Al turned around.

Al: I don't hate any of you. I just enjoy the pleasure of killing other people. When I look at the world, all I see is betrayal and lust for power. You can never have real friends. People leave in the end so you can't trust anybody. And if they want something from you, they would even try to kill you. Wala silang pakialam kung masaktan ka o mapahamak ka. Ang mahalaga sa tao, makuha ang gusto nya.

I know I should be mad right now, but somehow, I can't. I can sense his sadness, even if he tries to put up a frightening facade.

Al: That is why I believe that in order to survive, you must kill. To get what you want, you must kill. (turns around to look at me) I hope you understand.

He points his gun at me. His eyes intent on killing us.

Me: Do it.

His eyes widen in shock. He must've expected me to beg for my life. But, I'm distracted from the way he looks at us. I see a hint of hesitation.

Me: Do you really wanna pull that trigger?

Al: What?

Me: You don't wanna do it. I can see it in you.

Al: Shut up! Wag mo kong paikutin!

His grip on the gun tightened.

Me: Sabi mo na pakiramdam mong nag-iisa ka. Na sa tingin mo, tatraydurin ka ng lahat. Kahit yung mga tinawag mong kaibigan. Well, sorry to break it to you, but...

I paused to breathe out a smile.

Me... We have no plans to betray you. Friend. :)

Al: What?

Me: Al, you're our friend. Actually Nicole already felt that you can't be trusted, but I defended you. We all gave you a chance to show who you really are, and we know that all you wanted was friendship.

I can see Al's eyes are softening. His grip on the gun seems to be loosening.

Al: Why? Why would you trust me? I-I already betrayed you.

Me: Because you didn't even want to break our trust. I know you're being forced. I know you don't wanna do this.

Al's eyes continued to soften, until he let go of the gun. He took out a pocket knife and removed the ropes that were tied to all of us.

Martin: Kaibigan ka namin, Al. :)

JL: You're one of the "idiots." :)

Al: You guys... I'm sorry.

He looked down to the floor.

Carlo: Alam mo, Al. I forgive you for shooting my leg.

Al was shocked.

Al: Paano mo nalaman na ako may gawa nun?

Carlo: *chuckles* Plano to lahat ni Drix. Alam nyang mangyayari lahat ng to.

I guess I should start calling Genny.

Orayt! This is the weirdest friendship of all.

Finally, naupdate ko din. Haha.
