"I'm not papa, just help him! Looks like he'll die if left for much longer." Alice's words succeeded in making Sylvia round her eyes, if not being theatrical she would definitely be punching the mouth of not knowing herself.
"Alright," replied Aldric at last.

After the departure of Edric and Sylvia, Alice confusedly searched for the whereabouts of her cell phone that bounced somewhere. After a few minutes he saw that his phone had been smashed to pieces in the parking lot, probably by a car crash.
He sighed, trying to cover up his frustration. Now he is like a wasted chick, he wants to go home without knowing the direction, he has no money, he has no cell phone, he has only one.
He then walked in an uncertain direction, maybe on the road could meet someone known. Although his face still looks indifferent, but it cannot be denied that his heart is now beginning to be troubled.
An hour had already he swayed his knees, but his goal was still gray. He felt misguided, the road he took seemed to be increasing, like going up into a mountain.
He turned around and decided he wanted to go back to the supermarket. He would thicken his face once to ask for help from others.
However, just turning around he was already face to face with some men who were dressed all in black. Suddenly her body trembled, this was no longer Alice's natural reaction. But this was the fear of Ayla's own soul.
Half by piece the events filled his mind. He was killed sadistically, tortured, and even nearly abused by people who looked like this.
"Hey, who are you!" The screams of one of them managed to make Alice aware.
He slowly took a few steps back, then turned around and ran quickly. "Hey, don't run!" Shouted one of them but Alice ignored him.
He kept running without looking at it. Some of the men started chasing him. It was easy at first, but because of the uphill road, Alice's power began to drain. Both of his legs felt weak and powerless.
"Hey, where are you going?" Strangled one of the men while running after him.
'Ayla, you can't give up this time. Don't die in vain again. Especially for no reason like this, ' Alice's inner self encouraged.
But what power, no matter how strong he encourages himself but his endurance is not synchronized. At this moment he felt very tired, while the men were still chasing.
Among his despair, there was a luxurious house standing firmly in the middle of the mountains. Like getting a drop of water in the desert, Alice appreciates it. Now his spirit began to rise again, because there was already a glimmer of hope to survive.
He dragged both his legs.
Any minute...
Another bit...
Come Ayla...
His inner self was encouraging, whereas the few men in the back also began to be overwhelmed. Earlier, their distance was indeed a bit far from the girl while now they were a little bit more able to reach the stupid girl who had entered the area of power of her boss.
But the girl went into the boss' house. When they entered and wanted to continue the arrest, the boss instead gave them a code to leave.
...
Alice kept running.
Another bit...
Finally he entered the courtyard of the mansion, lucky that the fence was not locked. He then hid behind a shady tree, then set his breath and scooped up as much air as possible.
Suddenly someone patted his back.
Degs...
"What are you doing in my house?" A voice he felt familiar with asked, then he boldly turned around.
"Mr?"
"This is Father's house?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Huft ..." Alice sighed, relieved to finally meet someone she knew.
Edric raised his eyebrows, then said, "Let's go in!"
Alice followed the man from behind. When seen, their posture is very funny, a man with a large height and behind him a small girl with a small body.
The men who were still peering in front of the fence were astonished at the behavior of the boss who never received the guest, now bringing in the little girl they were chasing.

"Sit down here!" pinta Edric after they entered the living room of the mansion. Alice sat there obediently, then said, "Sir, where's my drink?"
Edric looked at her, then walked in a direction without saying anything. Alice who saw that wanted to follow.
"Stay there! Remember, don't touch anything!" the door made Alice who was about to get up from her seat to be silent as if she was a bowing statue.
After Edric continued his steps, Alice could only breathe a sigh of relief and sit back down. "Huft, if not in trouble I also do not want to ask the stiff lecturer for help," he muttered alone with a frown.
Not long after, Edric returned with a glass of fresh orange juice. Just looking at it, Alice had already gulped. 'My throat, soon you will get your handler, ' he thought with eyes focused on orange juice still in Edric's hands.
"Here," said Edric, thrusting his right hand. Alice nodded, then raised her hand to take the orange juice.
"Eh, this is mine! You sound this one!" edric said while thrusting back his right hand that holds a glass of water.
"Huh? B-but I'm the button on your left hand" protested Alice.
"I'm sure you're smart enough to know that drinking ice when you're tired can make you thirstier. So just drink this water! Or not at all" said Edric without feeling, he even immediately put water on the table.
Then he took a sitting position in front of Alice while sucking his fresh orange ice. 'Based old man killer, stiff, ugly, ignorant, stingy again, ' his curse, only brave in the heart.
Inevitably, he took a glass of water and then drank it with a frowning bent face. Edric who saw that even had to try to hold back his laughter.

On the other hand, Malvin and Lucy are on their way home after dropping off Kiara. "Do you think they're better now?" lucy asked as she looked at Malvin next to her.
"Well, with that stubborn temperament of the two, I'm not so sure it's going to work" Malvin replied, shrugging both shoulders.
"I hope it works, or we'll be grilled." Lucy shuddered in horror.
"That's your master, if my master is kind" Malvin said with a chuckle.
"Ish, don't say anything bad about Miss Alice! From the moment he regained consciousness from the coma he had greatly changed, "squeak Lucy did not accept, while Malvin just shrugged his shoulders while laughing.

"Say, why did you get to my house?" edric asked, beginning to interrogate.
"If it's told that it will be a long story, the point is that I was left by my friends at the supermarket and then I strayed here. And I was chased by some people dressed in black, hiih ... lurid," explained Alice unconsciously shuddering.
Edric who heard, even looked at him intensely to make Alice wrong. 'Eh, why do I talk so much?' grunts in the heart.
"Then let me drive you home!" edric said, then he just glanced at it. "Come on!" screeched Edric who was at the door.
"Eh, i-iya, sir."
