Paradoxon: Fix In Posterum
The fix 53
...***...
"Slow down" Dean muttered as Vincenzo tried to get down from his room on the second floor. They came out from the balcony in his room. The quiet state made them free enough to go out secretly without being noticed by the supervisor guarding the front door of the dormitory.
Putra dormitory is located adjacent to the side gate which at the gate is not too tight supervision. Because the gate is not an alternative road that is often passed or used by students who attend school there.
"No need to jump. Hold me!" Marko said, the man had been who to bring one by one his best friend down from the second floor.
"Ah, yes. I forgot you could fly" said Dean, who remembers.
"I'll take you one by one to the outer gate, you wait there until I'm done."
"Alright," Dean said in a soft voice so as not to be too noisy. Marko then brought one by one his friends to get out of the dormitory and took them to the outer gate next to the dormitory. When they were done with the task, they rushed from there on foot. Casual clothes were attached to their bodies, making their disguises less conspicuous and could be said to work.
"Where are we going to eat?" Vicenzo asked as soon as they arrived at the station to wait for the bus to take them to the restaurant where they were having lunch together.
"I heard there was one restaurant not far from here that served good food. What if we go there?" Ask Marko who is now focusing on his phone screen. I was reading one of the review articles about one of the restaurants not far from their dormitory.
"That sounds good" Taz said.
"But are we not going to meet anyone we know in that restaurant? You should remember that it's close to the dorm. So there could be one person we know, suddenly coming and meeting with us. It could be terrible if it happens," Dean said.
"really. I'm with Dean in mind, '" Vicenzo chimed in. Marko and Taz went silent justifying Dean's speech.
"You have a point too. Ng... Then what about this one?" Marko changed the hologram mode on his phone, making his three best friends able to see clearly the article he was reading.
"I heard they also provide good food in this restaurant. Plus the restaurant just opened a few months ago, it seems convenient for us to have lunch together. It is also not too far away and not too close. Plus this is the only location rarely passed by the teachers who teach in our schools. So it can be made sure if we will be safe," explained Marko at length.
"If this one I agree" commented Taz.
"Yes. Yes," Dean said.
"All right, let's go there" Marko said.
"Yes." Yeah."
They are now preoccupied with waiting for the bus to come to take them to the restaurant. They will spend their lunch there.
...*...
"What do you think?" Marko asked for a response from his three best friends.
"Enak" said Vicenzo.
"Yes, right. It's delicious," Taz chimed in.
"It's not wrong you're looking for a restaurant" Dean said.
"It's not wrong that I'm looking for a restaurant" Marko put the food on his spoon back in his mouth.
They are currently in the restaurant, a place chosen by Marko. Sitting together at one of the tables which is quite far from the entrance and several other customers who were visiting there. They deliberately choose a table that is in the corner of the room because they do not want to look flashy.
DRRTTT... DRRTTT...
Dean's phone vibrated in the bag of trousers he was wearing. He immediately pulled out the rectangular flat object out of his pants pocket and looked at his phone screen for a moment.
"Who?" Marko asked in front of him, glancing at him and then refocused on his food.
"Nero," Dean said.
"Then just lift it up" said Taz.
"All right," Dean immediately pressed a button there that automatically connected him to Nero across the street.
"Are you with Marko and the others? There's something I want to say to you guys" Nero said.
"Oh, a minute." Dean pressed the hologram mode on his phone which automatically revealed Nero. He put his phone in the middle of the table. So that the other three friends can see and listen clearly.
"Thank God you're still together. Oh, you guys enjoying lunch?"
"Yes. Are you having lunch too?" Marko.
"Yes, me too. Ah, there's something I want to talk to you all about."
"What's that?" Taz asked who then ate back his food.
"It's about Mr. Trish."
"What's wrong with her?"
"He didn't come in today."
"uh? Really true?"
"Yes. And no one knows where he went. What do you think happened?"
"Eitherway. Is it possible he didn't come home all night?" Taz speechless.
"But if he doesn't come home all night and then where does he go? There was no way he would suddenly leave and not return. Aren't you?" Dean raised his voice.
"Yes. I agree" Vicenzo chimed.
"Friends, it looks like we need to start being more careful" Marko said, suddenly making the four friends turn to him.
"Why indeed?" Nero asked across the street through his video link.
"The crime is growing more and more, and even more than yesterday when Mr. Trish was still around. You remember not what Rei said yesterday. If we're also part of the people they're after" Marko reminded.
"Ah yes, you are right" Dean said.
"Then what should we do?" Taz looked at his best friend one by one.
"We have to be more careful and we don't let our guard down. We don't get caught."
"Yes." Yeah."
"alright. Oh, guys, I think I should go now" said Nero across the street.
"Ah, well then see you in the dorm" said Marko.
"Yes, see ya."
"Remember! Don't let your guard down and stay careful" Taz said.
"Yes. You too, and don't forget to go home before school time, '" Nero reminded.
"Yes. We won't be here long anyway" said Vicenzo.
"Then I'll see you."
"Yes. See you," they said. Nero ended his call. Dean grabbed his phone back and put it in his pants pocket. Then they returned to busy struggling with the food that had been served right in front of them.
