Keiko walked towards her room with long steps. He wanted to get there and rest. However, as he turned from the end of the hallway, he saw Andrew still standing in front of the room door. The man stood up just like his previous position when he left with Hiro.
“You ... why haven't you slept?” asked Keiko as she approached her lover.
Andrew stared fixedly at Keiko before replying, “How are things going? Is the wound severe enough?”
The girl shook her head slowly, “No,” she replied.
“But Mr. Roux, hitting the person who has helped us, it is very uncivilized, let alone he is injured,” continued the girl again while crossing her arms.
Andrew snorted softly and threw his face away.
“Who told him to provoke me,” his grunts slowly.
Suddenly Keiko's face became serious. He pulled Andrew's hand into the room, then closed the door and walked towards the center of the room.
The girl folded her hands in front of her chest and again asked, “Say, what agreement do you have with Hiro? Why not tell me about this?”
“Um ... it ...” Andrew rubbed the back of his head a glance. “When I left it at Zeotrope, I did not know anything. But, before we were taken into custody in the interrogation room, I sent a message to Clark. I told him to inform my men to let him go if he met him first rather than the EEL people. Didn't I promise you to look after him?”
Keiko's eyes narrowed. Now the girl was ruffled around with a body gesture that looked a little intimidating.
“Then, why did you tell him never to show up? Why not tell it to me, let me believe that he's dead?”
“I did not tell you that he is dead,” elak Andrew while raising both his hands to the front of the chest, his voice swallowed as he continued, ”I just said .. I have not heard..”.
“It's the same!” sergeant Keiko's upset.
The girl pointed her index finger at Andrew's chest and again exclaimed, “You lied to me!”
Andrew's shoulders slumped, his expression looking very languid and sad.
“Do not be angry with me, yes ..” persuade the man, “I just don't want you to insist on looking for him and endangering your life. I'd go crazy if anything happened to you. I'm sorry, Baby ...”
Keiko sighed softly. His sense of urgency had been slightly reduced to hear Andrew's explanation. Her lover was right, he would definitely try to find Hiro if he knew that the man was still alive.
“After everything is done, even after Ryuchi was arrested, why still not tell me?” ask the girl with a slightly soft voice intonation.
“That's because I don't want him to take you back. Look, you guys just met and he asked you directly in front of me. That bastard—“
“Shut!” sela Keiko, back upset, “You two really .. Do you think I'm a toy that you can fight over? I also have my own thoughts.”
“But he could have influenced you,” reply Andrew remained stubborn, “See, you guys have only met for a few minutes and you have already started fighting with me.”
Keiko sighed and pinched her dizzy forehead. Those two men could really make him lose his sanity.
“Andrew Roux, I'm not a child. If he could influence my thinking, I wouldn't be here with you. Understand?”
Andrew was silent for a moment. Thas right. If Keiko could be easily influenced by Hiro, perhaps Keiko would not come to see him to clarify all these issues. The man took a deep breath and took one step forward. Both of his hands stretched wide and grabbed Keiko in his arms.
“I'm sorry, Baby .. I'm just jealous to see you two. I'm afraid she'll snatch you from me,” Andrew muttered as he rubbed Keiko's head affectionately, “I'm just afraid of losing you .. Don't leave me, huh?”
“Au—“
Booms!
“What is it?” keiko exclaimed, surprised that a fairly loud explosive sound was heard from the ground floor.
Brak!
The door to the tea room was wide open. Hiro's anxious face emerged from behind the door leaf, his hand moving gesturing for Andrew and Keiko to come out.
“Sials. How do they do it?” adam Andrew hurriedly picked up his kit box on the bed and ran out while pulling Keiko's hand.
“Could the shot when we escaped from the inn was a tracking device directed at the car? Not a bullet ...,” guess Keiko with hunting breath. His body was really tired of running around here and there.
Andrew and Hiro were both silent for a moment. It could have been a tracking device. Really shit. Why didn't they check it when they got out of the car?
“Maybe,” murmured Hiro while turning to the right side of the hallway, “I was careless once.”
Dor's!
Dor's!
“Job!”
Andrew and Hiro both cursed. Their hands almost simultaneously blocked Keiko's arm and dragged her away from the hallway, taking refuge in one corner which was a bend into the other.
From the direction of the gunfire, several people appeared with outstretched hands, holding long and semi-automatic guns in various variations. They stared straight at the corner where Andrew and Hiro were hiding, then stepped forward one by one.
Andrew quickly took out an aluminum circle from the metal case, threw it at his attackers, then broke down and took aim from below.
“Shielded!” he yelled at Keiko before pulling the trigger.
Dor.
Booms!
Booms!
A loud explosion threw the bodies of the men down back to the first floor. A huge hole gaped out in front of it, leaving the smell of ammunition pouring out in the air.
“Come, quick!” Hiro got up and ran back down the hall. He stopped in front of a black door at the end and placed his thumb on a panel on the side of the door. Shortly after, the door shifted and opened wide.
“Down and run to the right. There—“
Andrew pulled Hiro's hand and said, “Close with us.”
“But I—“
“Shut! We don't have much time. Hurry.” Keiko also blocks Hiro's wrist and drags him through the door.
The three of them ran down the emergency stairs, treading on the ground carefully and ducking behind the bushes. From inside the room, there was clearly the sound of fighting and gunfire.
Adrenaline makes Keiko's heart pump blood faster, her fatigue forgotten. Now the girl is busy focusing on finding a way out of the place.
“They have not circled this area. Come on, before the people had told their colleagues which way we were running,” Hiro said as he scouted the situation vigilantly. He let out a long sigh, hoping that the pain in his waist could be slightly reduced, then began to walk quickly with a fixed position down.
Keiko and Andrew followed carefully. They went through the backyard to find a small fence between the vines.
“Lewat here,” said Hiro. He opened the gate and slipped behind it quickly.
Andrew let Keiko pass first, then he followed behind him. The three men ran away, down the path towards the towering trees.
In the darkness of the night, the trees looked like creepy giants. Keiko brushed off her fear and continued running. There's Andrew and Hiro by his side, everything's gonna be fine, isn't it?
