Shean & Jenny
Persist

“It looks like it's far enough” Gumamku.

My left hand was sprained by the violent impact of the car explosion causing pain and pain.My body felt hot even though the air in this forest was so cold.

I remember the foldable phone Sebastian gave me before he died. Inside there is only one number that most likely is Geany's number. It's just that in the woods there's no cell phone signal to make a call.

Maybe I should climb to a higher place or also look for a settlement, at least there might be someone who can help me in a precarious situation and treat some injuries in the body.

After a few minutes of resting under the pine tree, I walked west following the direction indicated by the sun that began to be seen setting in the afternoon today.

I set foot down the hillside not knowing where to go, since I saw no sign of settlement residents, maybe I've been very far into the forest.

It's getting dark and there's no lighting I have other than Sebastian's phone. This is all I have right now because my phone is left in the car and it looks like it has been destroyed in flames.

Drrrrr Drrrrr..

The phone I was holding vibrated and there was a message notification on the screen.

“Sebastian where are you?” A message from a number not listed on this phone, maybe I should call that number.

“Hallo.. Hello.”

“Shean.. This is you Shean?” said a woman on the other end of the phone.

“Iya.. It's I Shean” Call a little messed up, probably because the signal's less good.

“Good. Give the phone to Sebastian” The order is a little hasty.

“Listen.. Sebastian is dead, he was killed while trying to save me from the invading group” I was silent for a while after informing his death “Sorry, because I, Sebastian must die”.

“Shean.. Right now I'm with some team of survivors evacuating somewhere, as much as possible you should immediately find a vehicle and go to the city of Orleans, I'll pick you up, I'll pick you up, make sure your phone keeps on so I can keep track of you, okay?” That order pisses me off, right now I don't know where.

“Don't be crazy. I don't know where Geany is either? And it's possible that the attacking group is looking for me right now” Denies me.

“The target is not you!, they think that the one with Sebastian in the car is me, and it seems they have realized that the wrong target and thought you two were dead. Believe me.”, “At the moment I don't want to argue, just follow what I say, Ok?” he snapped so that there was no further debate and this is a precarious situation that must be faced immediately.

“Ok, then I have to how?” My toot.

After understanding the situation, I realized that I was in the forest 20 KM from Paris, Geany just told me to keep walking towards the sunset, which is to the west, he mentioned there was a tourist village I could reach to seek help and drive to the place he had ordered earlier in Orleans.

...----------------...

Geany is checking some ancient objects that have been saved, along with friends of the research team. He makes sure all the goods are in good condition there is no damage to these objects.

“Everything is ready. How?” Ask Aldrich.

“Then, you first go to Orleans with the others, make sure no one follows you”.  His orders, but Aldrich denied because after all his leadership must first secure themselves.

“I understand, but you should come with us, let one of us pick up Shean” he tried to convince Geany who was about to go pick up his brother but was prevented by Aldrich.

Although Geany does not like Aldrich's plan, but he has a point. It was better that for now, he and some researchers left this place and sealed the basement so that no one could enter.

The incident that befell Sebastian no longer happens to others, even though he is only a driver, but he has contributed a lot to the group, and his loyalty is really real more than anyone.

All went along with their respective vehicles to somewhere in Orleans. There was Geany's house which he bought as a gathering place for the organization, the ancient house also has a secret room underground as a shelter in case of disaster and was built during the 2nd world war.

Geany is just pacing around the house hoping for some good news from Shean and Aldrich, who are still checking the live tracking emitted from Sebastian's cell phone, which is now in Shean's hands.

“I found it” said Aldrich called Geany.

“Where is he now?” her question was impatient to immediately find Shean's whereabouts who was lost in the forest.

“Tot far. I will go straight there, you just wait for news from both of us”. Aldrich said and closed the talks.

"Well.be careful".

Aldrich went on a motor sport to the last location of Shean.

...----------------...

After descending through the steep rocky hillside, I saw there was a village. the lights of the house also the vehicle made me breathe a sigh of relief.at least there I could ask someone to take me to Orleans.

A little hope in the midst of despair because this incident so shocked me and did not believe completely with what I saw.

The journey that should be fine ended in disaster because it was a group that wanted to harm me. Luckily I was able to survive because Sebastian tried to protect me from the attack until finally the car was mired deep into the forest and I managed to escape as quickly as possible.

The phone vibrated when someone called, there was an unknown number and it didn't seem like the number Geany used to call me.

I didn't pick up the call right away because I had better make sure first who was calling me and why not Geany.

"Who's there?" tanyaku.

"Shean, it's me, Aldrich" he answered and asked me to go into a bar in the village.

"Ok I'll be there soon". It seems that for the time being I survived, I know that Aldrich was a confidant of Geany and accompanied him to research the treasures found by our ancestors both.

My body has been weak due to fatigue walking through the mountains there is no food or drink. My luggage was destroyed by the fire when the car I was riding exploded.

I set foot with the remnants of energy that began to drain and went into a simple bar where Aldrich was waiting with a careless attitude while drinking beer.

"Aldrichs.. I can finally meet someone" I said with a gasp of breath.

"Calm down, you just rest for tonight tomorrow morning I'll take you away from here" he assures.

I reached for the water that he poured on me, freshly soaked the esophagus that thirst had not found a single drop of water that I could drink.

Some of the snacks that I served did not forget to taste, there are croissants and sandwiches that are still warm containing cuts of beef and vegetables, enough to relieve hunger.

After drinking a few glasses of water I began to feel a very extraordinary drowsiness, even unable to hear the words of Aldrich who was explaining our current situation.

"Hey.. Shean are you listening to me.."

"Sheen.. Ey"

"Hey.. Are you all right?"

Many times Aldrich called me, but it felt like my mouth was no longer able to speak due to the drowsiness and fatigue that accumulated and made me lose consciousness.
