The two men saw that their target is on his way to the comfort room. However, he"s not alone."Hey, we need plan B, our target is not alone." One of the men said as they hide themselves in a secluded area.
"Well, we just have to include the other one." So the two men positioned themselves, waiting for the timing to capture the boys.
"Do we need to scare them? Or use some force? Look at these kids, they look so innocent." the other one said as he looked at the boys.
Meanwhile, the boys cheerfully walked their way to the comfort room and unaware of what about to happen.
"Faster, Tristan, I really wanna pee..." Clark tried so hard to hold his pee.
So they decided to run so that Clark won"t pee on his pants. They pa.s.s through the secluded area and didn"t notice the two men. After they pee they get out from the comfort room. But to their surprise, two big men block their way.
"Excuse me, sirs, can we pa.s.s?" Clark asked the two men politely.
"Hi! Kids... uh we"re kinda lost... can you lead us to the school"s stockroom? You see, we need to find some tools for our job today..."
"Sorry, mister, but we need to go back immediately to the event because we need to play more games." Tristan refused the men.
"Well, if you won"t lead us to the stockroom, we"ll just have to forcefully carry you so that you"ll lead us to that place." The man threatened.
"Uh oh! I think we"re in trouble Tristan." Clark whispered to his best friend"s ear. Tristan in the other hand started to feel nervous.
"What should we do?" but before Clark could answer, one of them interrupted.
"Boys, we"re waiting for your answer..." Clark looked at where they could possibly escape the moment they run away from the goons.
Since both of them likes to roam around and explore the school, so they know the winding bush of the school.
"Okay, mister, we"ll just lead you there, but promise we go back immediately to our parents after okay?" Clark negotiated.
"Sure... but don"t think of escaping boys while we"re on our way to the stockroom because we could easily capture you and may hit you with a rod."
The boys led the way silently. Tristan keeps looking at the two men with fear in his eyes and then he whispered.
"Clark, they"ll do something bad, aren"t you afraid?"
"Ssshhh, just be quiet." Clark hushed his best friend.
They pa.s.s some rooms and they reached the back part of the school where the stockroom is located.
"Here it is mister, can we go now?" Clark bravely asked.
"Ahh, not yet,"
"But you promised!" it was Tristan who protested.
"Promises are made to be broken, child." But the man"s manner becomes rough and rude. "if you don"t want to be beaten up, follow us. Now move!" he ordered.
The other one opened the door of the stockroom using the key they stole earlier. They pushed the two boys as they entered that moves Tristan to whimper in fear.
"Mommy, Daddy, uncle! Help us!" but no one could hear them because it"s far from where the event is happening.
"If you"ll continue to cry, I"ll really hit you now." The man said impatiently which makes Tristan control his cry by covering his mouth. His teardrops fell endlessly instead.
Clark keeps on wiping his tears because he regretted that he declined his mom"s suggestion to accompany them.
"Both of you stay here!"
Then the men left them and locked the door. They heard the fading footsteps of the men. This time Tristan loudly whimpers.
"Clark, I"m scared.. what are we gonna do? How can we get out of here?"
...
Clifford followed the two boys. But when he reached the comfort room, they were no longer there, leaving no trace where they headed. He started to have an awful hunch and as a result, he started to look for them.
Without delay Clifford called Gary, "Send the men now. Something is amiss here. I couldn"t find Clark and Tristan."
His phone rings, it"s Ingrid calling.
"Cliff, what took you so long? Where are you and the boys?"
"Ahh, I"m still looking for them, we"ll be there in a moment." Clifford couldn"t let Ingrid know what happened for now. She"d really freak out.
"Are you telling the truth?" but Ingrid felt something is amiss.
"Hmm, yes... just wait. We"ll be there safe and secure. I promise."
Several minutes pa.s.sed, the men arrived. They coordinated with the security guards and looked over the CCTVs but they could"t find a lead. Some were scattered all over the school, until they reached the storage room.
"Men, this is the last one. Open it!" the school"s staff that"s with them immediately opened the door and all the men at once searched the room, but to their dismay, there"s no one is around.
"Negative. No one"s here."
"What do you mean? This is the last one. It"s impossible they aren"t here! The security said no car exited from the school." Clifford is alarmed.
His phone rings again. It"s Ingrid again. He gulped.
"Ingrid..." he expected a panicked voice coming from her.
"Where did you go exactly? Why Clark and Tristan are already here? I thought – "
"Whaaattt????" his voice thundered.
