didn't get caught

The sun is starting to set. The weather's a little cloudy. Felix is forced to follow Thomas, who is secretly trailing Zoe. No matter where Thomas got the two bikes from, slowly they followed the car.

"I just knew there was a way like this" Felix said.

"Me too" replied Thomas.

Streets without asphalt but flat they pass through. On the edge of the mesh, a plant of vines rose on a wooden fence installed along the way. The distance between the car that took Zoe and Thomas and Felix is quite far. However, the car is still visible because the road is straight and there are only three of them there.

"Why is it so quiet here, huh?" Felix curious.

"Is this a private road? Look at all these ornamental plants, so beautiful as if they were not country roads" Thomas replied.

After a while, Thomas and Felix just fell silent while pedaling a bicycle. Their energy was running out, the road was very dark now. None of them saw any lights on the side of the road. Only the light from the car lights they follow is the only lighting they can take advantage of.

"wait. The lights are off, is the car stopped?" Thomas stopped riding his bike.

"We better get closer instead of losing track" Felix paddled his bike slowly after stopping.

Thomas followed Felix from behind. In the darkness, there was no sight of where the car stopped. Relying on the moonlight, Felix and Thomas uncover the darkness of the night on Thomas's stolen bicycle.

"That! It!" Felix pointed at a car.

"We just put the bike here" Thomas said.

The two of them sneaked closer to the parked car. There was not the slightest sound. Slowly, Thomas peeked at the back glass of the car but it looked empty.

"Damn, did they leave?" Thomas swears.

"Let'soo!" suddenly Felix shouted.

"Geez Zoe!" Felix was a little upset to be surprised by Zoe's sudden appearance.

"Why are you here, Zoe?" Thomas whispers.

"Look at what I'm doing," Zoe pulls Thomas and Felix's hands to the front of the car.

The car door was still closed and as Thomas peeked in, there was no one in the car. The driver of the car fainted in the car.

"Zoe what did you do to him?" Thomas's panicked.

"I just hit him on the head with a baseball bat" Zoe giggled.

"Let's go," Thomas immediately invites Zoe to leave followed by Felix behind him. Using a bicycle, the three of them escaped from the place.

"We have to come up with a plan to investigate this place" Felix said.

"This place belongs to the sect" Zoe said.

"What do you know about that sect Zoe?" Thomas did not expect that Zoe knew so much.

"Because I am a member of the sect," Zoe replied with a wide smile.

Thomas and Felix paused, looked at each other and laughed.

"Hahahaha, what did you say Zoe?" thomas said with a laugh.

"The grandfathers said that my mother had joined the sect from a long time ago and I had to join in order to meet my mother. So when the grandfather asked me if I wanted to join right now, I said yes. It means that I am now a member of the sect, right?" Zoe did not seem to understand that the sect was a dangerous group.

"Zoe, do you know the sect is a bad group?" ask Felix.

"Felix, not now," Thomas continues his paddling followed by Felix.

"Hurry, it'll rain!"

**

Until the house, the rain fell so fast.Even the terrace of Ruby's house almost flooded.

"Then what now? I don't know what to do" Ruby said after seeing what Thomas and Felix did without her knowledge.

"Are you not happy I'm here?" ask Zoe.

"It's not so Zoe. The problem is not that simple" Ruby replied.

"Already Ruby. Tomorrow we'll talk again" Thomas said.

"Sleep first," Ruby left the room heading to the living room.

"Honey," Felix caught up with Ruby who looked a little irritated.

"Listen to me" said Felix.

"Please speak. I'll listen" Ruby replied.

"Because we were afraid Zoe was kidnapped and something bad happened to her, so we decided to bring her here. Sorry for not telling you before," Felix explained.

"Then what if we're the ones who said we kidnapped Zoe? Who will be responsible? We don't even know what happened to the old man there," Ruby felt that what Thomas and Felix were doing would only add to the problem.

"And here the network is so bad. We can't do the lectures smoothly if it continues like this" complained Ruby.

"In a moment we'll be home" Thomas came out of the room.

"When do you mean?" Ruby wanted an explanation.

"How can it be that you're the only one in charge, while the three of us live in the same house," Ruby wasn't sure what kind of accountability Thomas offered.

"Zoe will definitely tell the truth if anything happens. He's the one who ran away and asked us to help us get him here" Felix supported Thomas.

"Aren't you guys thinking, what if we thought Zoe gar's doctrines were saying that? Zoe is still just a little kid. You think everyone's gonna believe it's that easy" Ruby's getting upset that Thomas and Felix don't think long before they act.

"Added the bike you stole," added Ruby.

"Em, that problem. Thomas will be in charge" Felix said, glancing at Thomas.

"of course. Tomorrow I will return the bike to its original place" Thomas replied while enduring the sleepiness.

"Let's just go to sleep" Ruby got up and walked towards the room where there was only one in the house.

"Zoe, are you asleep?" Ruby with a candle in her hand was looking for Zoe.

"Zoe?" call Ruby.

Ruby opened the blanket slowly so that Zoe would not wake up. The little girl was sleeping well. Ruby feels a little guilty for disagreeing that Thomas and Felix took Zoe home. But not without reason. The problems that Ruby faced were quite strange, if coupled with the presence of Zoe that could have caused problems in the future, Ruby was afraid that the problems he faced would be more severe and difficult to solve.

Meanwhile, Thomas and Felix have not yet entered the room. Ruby who had been attacked by drowsiness was now lying next to Zoe who had fallen asleep.

**

"What are you doing? Hurry on!" exclaim Thomas.

Felix slowly put down the bike he was using this afternoon in a garage that no one owned. An old garage with two bikes and a dusty butut car.

"I'll put money here. Let's just say we rented the bike earlier," Thomas put two hundred thousand bills in a bicycle basket, and he put them,not to forget with a piece of paper with thanks and apologies for taking the bikes without permission.

"Let's go home quickly," Felix walked first to leave Thomas.

"By the way, how are you guys?" Thomas remembered the friends he had left in the city.

"We haven't communicated for a long time. Nobody sells data packages, right? Our data package runs out together" Felix complained.

"And we can't go to college either" Thomas complained.

"What about Ruby?" ask Thomas.

"He's been out of quota for two days. Just look at him not uploading Instagram stories" Felix replied.

"Tomorrow we better ask Jenn," Thomas sped up his pace to get home quickly.

"Are you scared?" felix Goda.

"Are you not afraid in a remote area like this at midnight?" Thomas attacked Felix.

"Of course not. What am I afraid of," he answered.

"Sssstt" Felix drags Thomas to the back of a tree.

"There are people" Felix said.

A man with an axe in his hand walked toward the garage that Thomas and Felix had just left.

"Looks like he owns the bikes" Thomas guessed.

"He looks scary. We'll just hide until he's gone" Felix was a little worried.

"It's up to you, though," Thomas indirectly said that he approved Felix's proposal.

Prancing..

There was the sound of something falling, right near them hiding. A tree fell near them. Probably because it had rained the wind and the tree was too fragile so the tree was no longer strong to survive.

"Damn it, don't tell me the guy's coming," Felix freaked out.

The two of them were still hiding because the man had not entered the garage. Just pacing around with an axe in his right hand. Even when a tree fell, the man was not disturbed, he kept pacing back and forth without looking at the source of the voice.

"Mr Rick!" call someone.

"Finally. Long enough I waited for you just now," the man with the axe in his hand spoke to someone who had just called him.

Now Thomas and Felix know the name of the man is Mr. Rick.

"I brought your order," said the man who had just arrived.

"good. Here's your pay," Rick gave her some money.

The conversation of the two men was clear because the atmosphere in which Thomas and Felix were hiding was very quiet. Only the sounds of crickets and wild animals were heard. If they are mistakenly grounded or stepped on a twig, it will certainly be immediately discovered. So Thomas and Felix silently stood behind a big tree. A sack containing something that looks quite heavy is now in Rick's hands. Thomas and Felix are very curious but they choose to bury their curiosity for fear of dealing with the gunman.

"The man came in" whispered Thomas.

"You're quiet. The other man was still there," Feix replied in a whisper.

The man who came with Rick's order was standing by while counting the money he got. But not long after, he went in the opposite direction from Thomas and Felix.

"Wait for him a little bit further and we'll go" whispered Felix.

Thomas nodded indicating that he agreed with what Felix said.
