"Hey who's driving today?" sash.
"Okay let me." Ria.
"Yeah! Let's go. Finally a girl's day out. And would you please lift up your moods." Said sash.
"Yeah! Yeah! Stop yelling. Get in the car." Ria.
"I'll sit in front." Ace.
"Okay as you wish." Sash.
Sash hopped on into the passenger seat and sprawled on the whole seat claiming it to herself. Ace sat beside Ria in front. Butler Samuel waved at them as the car sped away.
"So where are we going first." Ria.
"Let's go for some footwear." Ace.
"Okay. Footwear it is." Sash. "Hey and guess what I have planned our shopping route."
"After footwear, we go for skincare, then accessories, then lunch of course, then clothes, and maybe drinking after that." Sash laid the plan out.
"No!" Ria and Ace shouted together.
"No drinking." Said ace.
"Okay, ugh! Then something light please." Requested sash.
"Okay we will see later." Joined in Ria.
"Now what would you buy for footwear? Huh!" Ria.
"Heels maybe or sneakers." Ria.
"Let's see!" Ace. As they came out of the salon almost half of the day had went by. The back of the car was already full but their stomachs empty. As Ace's stomach growled the other two looked at her with half open mouth.
"Let's go to mc. Donald's." Chimed in sash.
"Yeah! Okay." Ria.
"I am so up for it. Hurry!" joined in ace.
As they entered and chose a corner table and settled themselves. Ria went up to the counter to their favorites.
"Ah! It's been a while." Ace.
"Yeah, though we are new here, but the vibes are similar." Said sash.
"Alright ladies. I have ordered the primary meal, we can add up later if necessary." Ria said while settling at their table.
As they sat and waited for their order to get processed, all of them were catching up on their social media.
As Ace lifted her head up to look for their order number on display, she noticed that the area was almost empty, which was bubbling with people some minutes ago. But she shrugged it off owing to less people around due to the hot weather outside.
She lowered her eyes but she felt somewhat uncomfortable due to the few people left inside the food court. They seemed to be sitting there sipping on their americanos since eternity. They looked creepy to her, but she got distracted by Ria calling out to her help her carry the order to their table. She put down her phone and got up from her seat as she got off she noticed 2 men from the opposite corner get up too.
Ace was halfway through to the counter towards Ria, but Sash was still at the table looking at her phone. Reluctantly she moved towards Ria. "I shouldn't suspect everyone." She thought.
Ria- "hey walk faster, are you a snail."
Ace- "yeah! I am coming and no I am not a snail."
Just then they heard chairs screech and they turned around as the noise seemed to be coming from where they were sitting. They were aghast as they saw Sash being held on knife point. As Ria turned to her left she held on to the arms of Ace, who was advancing towards Sash directly and told her- "hey Ace! Don't move please or else we will be shot down."
Ace- "if they wanted to hurt us they would have, already."
Ria- "if they can sneak in weapons into the public area, I guess we shouldn't fight back."
Just then a guy in black tuxedo approached Ace and Ria.
"Hello! I am the security chief of AMATE corps. They call me chief KO. Please co-operate."
Ace- "why?"
Chief ko-"you may lose one friend."
Ria interrupted-"okay! What do you want?"
Chief ko- "just come with me."
Sash-"I won't."
Ria- "shhh!"
Ace-"we will go! SASH!"
But sash was in no mood to listen.
Sash-"attacking from back you cowards!"
The guy tightened the grip on her neck. This angered sash even more. She held onto the base of the chair she was sitting on. Suddenly she stood up with a jerk, which made the guy lose his grip. Sash at this point hurled the chair at the guy making him bleed near his eyes, her sudden movement left her with a feather cut on her shoulder.
This made Ria square up to the fight too, she grabbed a nearby order tray from the counter and swung it at the guy on their left who ducked to avoid it hitting his eyes but the tray hit the glass panel behind him leaving him in a rubble of cutting glass, bleeding slightly; Ace jumped and hit chief ko with a swooping kick to his head which he avoided by raising his right hand. The kick left his hand numb for a few seconds.
He pressed the button on intercom and several men swooped in taking the three on gunpoint. Two guys hurriedly collected their belongings in a black bag.
Chief ko-"we don't want to harm you please."
He motioned the guys at the doorway to clear the way.
Chief ko-"to the black sedan please, ladies."
Ace held her hands around Sash to stop her from reacting again.
Ria stepped forward followed by both of them.
After he made sure he secured the three of them to the back seat of the sedan he himself sat in the front and the driver sped off, along with the trail of two more black cars in front and behind the sedan.
Chief KO pressed his intercom and said- "secretary Shin, Choi, and Won, please inform your masters. I am heading to the training quarters. I will be in the basement."
The secretaries replied in unison- "right away. Chief ko."
Amidst all this mess the men stationed outside the Mc Donald's outlet were confused.
Guy1- "did the mistress someone else too."
Guy2-"I don't think so."
Guy1-"I should contact the secretary."
Madam Rose's office-
Secretary Sam- "ma'am the guys say the girls were taken."
Madam Rose – "really. I thought they could fight."
Secretary Sam-"I mean they got taken by someone else. Seemed like people from AMATE."
Madam Rose-"hmm! Interesting."
Madam Rose pushed her glasses back as she stroked the kitten on her lap.
"The AMATE jumped into this, why?"- She thought.
"I will look into it ma'am." Sam.
"Okay, you may go." Madam rose.
As the black sedan reached to the security training quarters, it was surprising for them as they were informed beforehand if the masters decided to visit. They left what they were doing and stared at the cars.
Suddenly, the gates of the second car opened and chief ko stepped out massaging his right arm, which was still numb.
Chief ko-"bring some ropes."
The two keepers ran in to get some ropes.
He advanced towards the passenger seat doors and opened the door, a grumpy Sash stepped out, hands in air, followed, by Ria and then Ace. The trainees were now more shocked than surprised.
"What are these little dolls doing here?"- They talked.
"Girls! In the training base!"
"Are they gonna be killed!"
"They are beautiful though."
"And sexy too, can't lie about that."
Chief ko tied their hands at the back and nudged them to keep moving. The crowd cleared and the way as the armed guards signaled them to back off.
The girls were taken to the basement but the commotion they created didn't settle down.
As the trainees enquired from their colleagues who came along them, it seemed futile as they were told not utter a word.
Just then a few more cars rolled up and three silhouettes went inside. All of them were terrified, is it something too serious so that the president's secretary showed up too.
Trainee1-"shut up and move your asses. This means the president's will show up soon."
Trainee2-"yeah! He is right. Move it guys, hurry."
