Suddenly Having a Baby
Escape

Raymond was furious at the video Baron was playing on his phone. The video shows several people shouting while brandishing banners. There are also women who cry while hitting his chest.

"I'm not sure they're natives of area B. For five years of being here, I've never seen their faces." Raymond nodded uncertainly. The community's welcome so far to the project he worked on was very warm and accepting with open arms.

"Whatever your response, I as the leader of this area just want to protect the rights of my citizens."

"What do you want?" Raymond's eyes were squeaking cynically.

"Just proof if the project you are running is legal."

"If not?"

"Otherwise, we're very sorry that this project will be terminated and you'll be subject to fines and possibly jail time as I've described earlier."

"This project is almost complete. Only settlement. Even the inauguration schedule has been submitted to the central government, is it not a pity if the hatus is stopped just like that?"

"Well, how else. Maybe if I'm lucky there's a new investor who wants to continue this project."

Raymond grieves cynically. The fishing is right on target. That greedy and cunning leader, has eaten his bait.

"Who paid you?" Raymond boldly asked as he advanced his body and rested on the Baron's desk.

"What do you mean? You want to bribe me? Be careful when you talk to the state apparatus, sir, you could get penalized." The baron was shocked.

"I'm just kidding, why panic? Do I sound like I'm going to bribe Mr. Baron? I'm just asking who paid you? Of course the people from their taxes, including me. Of course I have to obey the orders of the state. Right?" Raymond chuckled with satisfaction at the greedy leader panicking with his words, "Alright, I'll try to give you the evidence you asked for."

"I wait, Mr. Raymond." The baron smiled meaningfully.

Upon the return of Papa William from the office of regional head B, he immediately contacted his eldest son.

"How, Wil, have you found out where your wife and son are?"

Intentionally Papa William did not tell about the threat of the regional head to him. He did not want his son to feel more depressed and guilty. In fact he himself took part in this situation, because it forced the marriage of William and Sarah without realizing that it was included in the strategy of his enemy.

"No, Pa, but my man has got footage of a car carrying Sarah and Belle passing through the city trans-streets. The car is too flashy often becomes the attention of the surrounding residents, because it is too luxurious and very fast.

"Good."

"Mom and Dad are okay there?" William heard a desperate tone from his Papa.

"Papa and Mama are fine here, you take care of yourself there too. Find Sarah and Belle, Wil. Papa's sure he's a good boy."

"Yes, Pa." William's finger rubbed the picture of Sarah and Belle he had taken secretly, 'Where are you, dear.'

Meanwhile, Sarah, who had been confined for three days in a small room measuring 2x2, looked at the small window on the ceiling. The night sky was very clear, there was only one star visible from where he was sitting leaning in the corner of the room.

The water is dry. His hands were reddened and swollen, as it was often used to bang on doors. His voice was raucous too tired to cry, yelling and even cursing the bodyguards who stood guard at his door.

"Nrank ...."

"Sorry ...."

"You're home ...."

"Jn ...."

"Relance ...."

"Mr ...."

"Please ...."

"Nrank ...." Her father's voice sounded like he was answering his call.

"Sir ...." Sarah returned her Papa's call still with glaring eyes. He considered that the voice was only his illusion, because he missed his father too much.

"Saraaahh."

The voice was getting clearer and closer even as he whispered. Sarah realized if it was true that Papa's voice was calling her.

"Paa ... Paaa ...." Sarah put an ear on the door and called her Papa, "Sarah here, Paaa," Sarah said, knocking on her door.

A key is inserted into the hole and slowly rotated. Sarah took two steps back with a thumping heart. As soon as the door opened and she saw her Papa standing half-bent, the girl rushed over and grabbed her frail body to sit on the floor and shut the door.

"Paa ... Papa how did it get here? Where are they all?" Sarah peeked out of the doorway, making sure no one followed her Papa and heard their conversation.

"Nearly all of them were going to area B. You don't have much time, get out of here, Sarah. People who are on guard have Papa given sleeping pills are often given to Papa, but it will not be long. Quick go." Mr. Anderson encouraged his daughter to stay away from him.

"Then let's run, Pa." Sarah helped her father to stand up.

"Father here, you're the one who left. Hurry."

"Sarah can't leave Papa here. Come on, hurry Paaa."

"No, Sarah. Papa can hold you back. Quickly run for help before it's too late and hide." Papa pushed him with the rest of his energy until he almost fell.

"Paaa, Sarah won't." Sarah shook with tears. Seeing her Papa who looked very old far from his actual age, made him not have the heart to leave his Papa.

"You run now or we're both stuck here to death, Sarah."

True, his father said, this opportunity will not be repeated twice. He has to get out of here and ask for help in order to save Papa and Belle.

Sarah hugged her Papa tightly and whispered, "Take care of yourself, Pa. Sarah must have come back and saved Papa and Belle." After that he immediately ran away without being able to look at his father again.

With a limped step Mr. Anderson returned to his room, passing through several sleeping guards lying on the floor. He returned a collection of keys he had stolen into a drawer, then climbed into the bed and pretended to sleep as usual.

With barefoot, Sarah ran non-stop and without looking back. After being far enough away from the containment building, he slowed his movements. Only then did he realize that this building was in the forest.

The silent atmosphere only heard the sounds of night birds and insects. He ignored the pain of his bare feet stepping on twigs and rocks. The night chill felt piercing, Sarah began to shiver but she kept trying to continue her journey of finding for the main road.

As he was about to give up with his humped eyes Sarah sat on the ground and leaned against the trunk of a large tree, he saw a man in a caping hat with a hoe on his shoulder walking closer to him. Spontaneous with the rest of her energy, Sarah tried to run away from the figure of a man who was getting closer to her.
