Paradoxon: Fix In Posterum
The Fix 90

"Then, how?" Ask Elvina.

"We can't just shut up, can we?" William chimed.

"I know, we can't just shut up. Because I in the past was waiting for me to come and help him. But we can't go there without knowing which way we should go" Rei said, bowing his head in confusion, looking for a solution to the problems they face.

"Have it, it's better now that we go home first and we try to rethink the way we do it at home." Elvina advised.

"Yes, there's a point in what El said, too" William turned to his brother. The one in his face could only sigh in response to the disrespect from his sister who was always reluctant to mention 'sister' and more comfortable calling him 'El' as Rei called his name.

"Alright then" said Rei. He then moved from his place along with William and Elvina who always accompanied every step.

"If they change their route, what will we do next?"

"There's only one way" Tessa stared at the map that was right in front of her.

"What's that?" Trish looked at him closely, from the look on his face. Tessa could clearly see the curiosity that was enveloping the man.

"We must go to the place where they will meet and gather at the same time" Tessa said, staring at Trish.

"You mean, we're going here?" Trish pointed to a point on the map that showed where the port they were referring to was.

"Yes." Yeah." Tessa nodded her head. "But for that, we still have to wait."

"What else are we waiting for?"

"They will gather in this place as soon as every route I marked they have gone through, and when all these routes are done they go through. They would meet and gather together at this point. The point where I last failed to uncover the truth I've been questioning."

"When will they arrive?"

"I don't know if the route remains the same. It will probably only take about a week, and they will meet again at this point."

"One Week?"

"Yes. But if the route changes, I can't take everything into account. Because it could take longer or even less than before. Therefore, perhaps we should wait there and continue to observe."

"O-okay.. but how can we keep an eye on them? I mean, what if they arrive while we're off guard? Because they could arrive at times when we're resting, right?"

"For that one thing, I'm sure they'll arrive and leave at night."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because at night, most people are resting and falling asleep, it will be more free for them to leave."

"Oh you're wrong. Today, especially in this age, people still work in the office until eleven o'clock."

"For some. While others impose a more minimal work system, usually around five to six hours per day. Because you know what? People who are accepted to work in an office have a higher IQ than us."

"Oh, yeah. You have a point too."

"But if considering this is an area that quite has a lot of office buildings, then it can be concluded they will leave around the early hours of the day when the night is so quiet."

"In the morning?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Yes, there is no other choice. Because we don't know where they're going and when they're going to get here, so we have to keep a lookout."

"Okay, enough for that one. What if they don't come here? I mean, there are a lot of ports in Indonesia and not just one port heading out of the country. How can you be so sure that this is the point where they will meet while the route alone changes?"

"Huft~" Tessa sighed, confirming a remark from Trish.

"You're right. There are so many possibilities that could happen," he said slowly, confirming a speech from Trish.

"So how? You have any other ideas?" Trish looked at him curiously.

"Shortly, let me think for a moment." Tessa is silent, trying to find ideas to solve the problems they are facing.

"By the way I'm getting bored, how about we go and meet the others?" Taz told Marko who is still playing in his virtual world.

The man stopped, he then turned his head towards Taz who was now standing behind him.

"Stopped? Oh come on, it's really fun and you want to stop now?"

"I'm bored."

"Oh, come. In a moment, will you? After all, when else can I play the game like this? Hunting zombies? It's an amazing game. If we usually run from zombies and zombies chasing us, but this is the opposite. We hunt them down and chase them. It's amazing, and it's fun."

"I'm really tired, you better play by yourself."

"He-hey! Taz! Argh!" Marko snorted in annoyance.

Taz exits his game server, the next second Marko follows him.

"It's enough to play," said Taz, releasing and putting the device on his body back to its original place.

"You really don't want to play anymore?" Marko took off the game gear on his body.

"No. I want to meet the others."

"But why?"

"I wonder if Rei and his two cousins have returned or not, and I also want to know if Dean has managed to gather information regarding his dream or not."

"Oh, right. I'm curious about that too."

"Yes. Then let's go."

"I'm right behind you." said Marko.

Taz moved out of the game room with Marko trailing behind him. They stepped down the long corridor to arrive at the library room which was quite far from where the game room they had originally visited was located.

"This house is absolutely amazing. It's even bigger than the house we have," Marko continued. His head incessantly looked up as he spread his gaze around, admiring the beauty of the house where Rei and his two cousins lived.

"Yes, I agree. This house is indeed bigger than the house we live in," said Taz without looking and keep focusing on walking.

"I wonder, are Rei, Elvina and William not tired of taking care of a house this big? They're just three?"

"For that don't ask me," Taz said there.
