Don't Forget to Sleep
Episode 6

"A cup of warm Latte coffe,"

"Why don't you offer me a more interesting offer? Like dating?" goda Ferghus's.

"Do it in your dreams" Adel replied as he walked into the door that was now open inward. A ladder made of iron, with two sides, where they can hold firmly welcome their arrival.

"Ferghus, we need some light here" said Adel glancing at Ferghus.

"Ah, just use the emergency light under my bed. Hopefully it still works" Rulby told Ferghus. The man simply nodded, climbing the stairs three steps out of the closet, curled up in search of the whereabouts of Rulby's emergency lights.

His hand found a cardboard box of responsibility and then pulled towards it. Ferghus immediately took the lamp from the cardboard and hurriedly entered back into the closet not forgetting to turn on the lamp before being trapped in the darkness.

"We're going on an adventure, Mom??" ferghus's ignorant grin greatly made Adel want to smash that man's handsome face with his current shoes. Adel only sighed furiously and then continued down the stairs.

"It appears we are heading for the basement" Ferghus murmured echoing through the room while looking down at the bottom. Long journey apparently.

Drrr...

Drttt....

Krieeeeeeeeeek....

"Waaaah !!"

Oh no!! The stairs they climbed squeaked and then moved by itself to the other side of the room, shifted to the left, making the three tighten the handle on both sides of the ladder.

Derrrts

Derrrts

Krieeeeetttt

Checklic

Clique

The movement of the stairs began to stop but still gave rise to the rumbling of their beating heart very strongly...Ferghus patted his head, then laughed at something that neither Adel nor Rulby understood.

"So what did you think was a joke? We could have fallen on the roll, or worse, free-fall down!!" amuk Adel judged Ferghus who still had time to laugh at the unexpected.

"Lasiness Mom.., you see for yourself what I accidentally touched this." replied Ferghus as he removed his left hand grip from the object, which was also made of iron, which was also made of iron, which works as a lever?? So..that lever, who controls the rate of movement of the stairs under their feet?!

"You found another surprise for us, man, is your hand a magic hand? hmm?" praise Rulby with a look of amazement.

"Oh, this is a gift that I can't refuse miss," Ferghus lamented insignificantly.

"So..., Ferghus, can we just concentrate on that lever right now?" asked Adel who was watching carefully the lever.

"From the shape of this lever, showing the stairs we climb, can go whichever way we want. Look at this" said Ferghus, pointing at the round iron mound beneath the lever.

"So we can circle around this room. The chest taste so"

"surrounding? I have a bad feeling about that"

"What?" ask Ferghus and Adel at the same time.

"Come, this ladder will not be made to rotate, if not to facilitate the previous homeowner, get access in and out right? Didn't you guys think? That, there will be secret passageways down there? A minimum...secret room?" rulby looked seriously at the two guests.

"So..what are we going to do now? Down in this left corner or right corner?" adel asked with high curiosity. Very high even...

"Why don't we try a straight line?" rulby said hesitantly.

"I'm not ready to feel this ladder moving again any time soon. Please.." please Adel still patting his chest.

"Well, can we go down these stairs? Now?" asked Ferghus impatiently. Finally they decided to walk down the stairs and arrive at the flat surface of the stairs. They were stunned in disbelief.

"There's a ladder? But why are the stairs going up? We'll arrive at the bottom of the basement" said Ferghus annoyed.

"There's no other way, right? We have to do the investigation to the end" Adel said as he walked up the stairs followed by Rulby and Ferghus. Up at the end of the stairs, they walked slowly towards the middle of the flat staircase surface back.

Sqju...

Greteeek...

Greeeeet...

They sharpen their vision and hearing, looking for the direction of the sound...

Saaayat!!

Saaaaat!!!

Saaaat saaaat!!!!

Lots of arrows from left and right!! They shouted trying to find a way to escape!!

Agh!!

Hggh!!

Hgighh!!

The three silently stared without twitching, venturing to open their eyes, paying attention to each other's reactions and conditions.

Bruyne!!

Adel!! The woman thudged down, while touching the thousands of arrows that stuck in her stomach!! The pointed tip of the arrow pierced through Adel's body until Ferghus and Rulby stared in horror at the event. Yes, thousands!! Thousands of arrows lodged in his stomach, chest, even.there were pierced into his head!!

Puddles of blood pour profusely.like ocean water that soaks the beach.

"Stop!!" ferghus snapped when he saw Adel step into the secret room. His eyes were full of gripping fear!! His hand that was still grasping the dragon ornament was trembling at once getting a terrifying picture.

"Why? We have to get there, to complete our mission" Adel protested.

"I said stop!! We've just done an investigation today. Tomorrow, we can continue" said Ferghus with breath gasping for even his trembling knees, unable to support his weight until he fell on the floor, propped up by the door of Rulby's glass cabinet.

"Hey, are you sick?" adel asked who was directly crouching beside Ferghus, checking the man's body temperature by placing the back of his hand against Ferghus' forehead.

"If I'm sick, can we stop this now?" said Ferghus suddenly reaching Adel's hand which was on his forehead, then putting it on his chest. Adel can feel the heartbeat of Ferghus beating beyond the normal limits. If this is continued, the man could have a heart attack.

"All right..we continue tomorrow, can we?” adel asks Rulby for permission.

Adel took the initiative to get Ferghus into his car because the man is in a bad condition at the moment. Adeline Minna, will not let a Ferghus Cloy woe, before all their affairs are both resolved. Adel did not want to use Ferghus' car at all well, you know the smell of cigarette smoke is too thick in there. Where there is a woman who hates cigarette smoke would enter the car even for a minute.

"Do you want to go home now?" tanya Adel glanced at Ferghus who was just silently daydreaming.

In Ferghus' daydream, the man reminisces about his High School days. In between the flow of children to the classroom exit, young Ferghus pulled someone's hand.

"Where do you want to go home?” ferghus' question made the person asked frown.

"As usual heading down the same road, as before"

"Use Alex's shortcut,"

"Why? There is a quick and easy route to my home. Then why do I have to switch to shortcuts that actually take a lot of time for me to take?" alex protest.

"You'll be fucked. Don't go through there understand," Ferghus replied in mystery as he patted Alex on the shoulder. The next day, the whole class is shocked by the arrival of Alex who uses two crutches walking past each table, and sits at his desk.

"Did you yesterday swear to me that I would be wretched when I actually went down that road?" alex whispered annoyed.

"I'm protecting you. If I intend to harm you, why did I warn you yesterday?" ferghus' reply was not accepted on Alex's baseless accusations. Then someone pat Alex on the shoulder.

"What's going on? Why feet?" ask the girl sitting behind Alex's desk.

"Yesterday I was walking home when suddenly someone on his bike came driving so fast from the back grazing me that I rolled on the asphalt and broke a leg like this"

"You know, you have to be careful of Ferghus. This is because he yesterday swore at me wretchedly" Alex whispered in a rather loud voice for Ferghus to hear. So in a day, Ferghus, who was originally the most liked figure in the class, now turned into the most, shunned figure. This is all, because of Alex's incitement.

At first Ferghus was sad but, one day, his mother said something to Ferghus that made him become confident again.

"Remember the message dear Mom, both when Mom is there and not, you have to keep your mouth. You are a person whom God likes.so God gives you an advantage that, whatever you say, will happen. So from now on remember well, son, just say all the good things" Mom Ferghus said gently rubbing the child's hair.

Adel looked at Ferghus once again seeing the Man beside him busy thinking about whatever it was. Adel shook his palm right before Ferghus' eyes until the Man's daydream faded.

"Oh, what?" asked Ferghus nervously.

"I asked, do you want to go home? Resting?" hail Adel once again.

"Oath. I want to end it all. Are you sure you want to continue the mission?" ferghus said this time with a chaotic expression. Whether he is confused, frightened, laughing, angry or crying.

The instant the car they were riding in squeaked loudly and then meandered sharply making Ferghus have to hold on to the handrails on the car glass.

"Ferghus Cloy, what exactly happened? Tell me NOW" Adel is now beginning to demand an explanation that, if there were, would be very difficult to reason with.

"I feel like we'd all die in there if we were just a little wrong, in stepping"

"What's? You said it like you knew everything in that closet"

"Yes, this sounds crazy but I'm pretty sure after seeing what happened to you in there earlier!!" peeked Ferghus snorted in annoyance.

"Come on.you need some rest. I'll take you home now".

"No. Let's just go to the police station. There is my brother he can use to get information about who the seller of the house is easily" said Ferghus, leaning his head.

"What?! You realize? You need to rest. Realize how unstable your current psychic condition is. A moment to say you want to end, a moment later you talk as if you still want to continue" protested Adel.

"I want to assure you there's a lot of weirdness in that house. You should feel like the house is not a place for humans to live in"

"Stop talking about the absurd Ferghus, make sure you won't cause any more trouble this time" Adel warned.

They have now arrived at a major Merpati card provider, along with Ferghus' brother who is a police chief. They walked confidently into the stall.

"Excuse me. I'm from Royeen police, this is a direct warrant to investigate the CDR (Call Data Record) of this sim card. Please cooperate. His name was Edward Corner. We are looking for the location of the whereabouts of someone who sold him a house" Kabareskrim Commissioner General of Police Kenatt Anderson Cloy said.

The one who received the warrant immediately nodded and invited Kenatt and the two people who were following him were none other than Adel and Ferghus, into a room.

The man introduced Kenatt to a fashionable-looking 29-year-old woman who then let the three sit down. The woman immediately did her job well, tracking all incoming calls or outgoing calls.

"Successfully. His name was Rudolf Ponix. Here's a recording of the conversation we managed to record" the woman said, offering evidence of a conversation between Edward Corner and Rudolf Ponix.

Just now that the recording was running, before they could hear, the lights suddenly went out!!

everyone in the room whispered to each other. The woman in front of Kenatt finally cleared her throat so that all the attention was on her.

"Ehm. Sorry for the disturbance, don't worry, it won't be long" said the woman on her sign that read Angel Hofler and then, as Angel said.

"Alright, let's settle the matter that Mr. Madam has delayed" Angel Hofler said, restarting the search results.

Adel and Ferghus walked full of relief followed by Kenatt behind them towards the basement. However, the mystery of who the previous owner of the house has been solved is he, Rudolf Ponix. If the man doesn't confess, they have evidence of a recording of him talking to Rulby's late father.

"Will we schedule a meeting with Rudolf Ponex in the meantime, we don't go back to the house just yet okay" Ferghus said, closing the car door with the others.

BRAGH!!

Talks between Ferghus and Adel stopped immediately while Kenatt remained glued to the back seat alone.

Tin!

Tin!!

Tin!!!

The sound of car horns around them rang so loud that even the ritting of the cars twinkled as if there was someone inside.

"So tell me the truth, what are we dealing with now?” kenatt asked as the car they were riding in began to sway until Adel and Ferghus hit the windshield.

"You wouldn't like it if I told you honestly. But you know the truth now" said Ferghus.

Click!!

Click!!!

"Oh nooooooo" muttered Adel who immediately got the attention of Ferghus and Kenatt once he saw the car keys he was attached to suddenly spin on their own. The three looked at each other hoping that one of them would say what they saw was not real.

Adel was surprised to find the brake pedal as if someone stepped on it clearly not him. But.., isn't she the one in the steering chair?! Not only that, the transmission lever was there that shifted to D!!

"Yahoooooo!" suddenly Ferghus, Adel and Kenatt cried out in fear at the impromptu attack. Their eyes glared as soon as they saw what was coming next. The car they were riding walked out of the Merpati Store area drove at high speed and then led to where a lake was located.

"Open up and jump!! This thing wants to drown us in the car!!" yell Adel in panic. Repeatedly they tried to open the door but hard!!

"Open the window!!" shouts Ferghus commanding still it can't be done!! They were screaming in fear as the car started to get into the lake. Slowly but surely, the lake water has entered the car little by little.
