Chapter 8 - This or That

Ring...

.

Ring...

.

The phone of the person is ringing and Lucy and her brothers are discussing whether they should pick the phone or not.

.

.

The scene shifts to Mr. and Mrs. Delome;

The Leader says, "The person who was following your kids is not picking up the phone. Maybe he is sleeping. "

Mr. Delome yells, " If anything happens to my kids, I will..."

Mr. Delome is about to say something but the leader stops him by showing him a message.

The Leader says, " Stop worrying, I have left a message to the person, he will not harm your kids now."

Mrs. Delome tells Mr. Delome not to worry, they have Lucy with them.

The Leader says, "Lucy, is she your daughter, what will she do?"

Mrs. Delome says, " You will see it yourself one day."

.

.

The scene shifts to Lucy, Leo, and Ian;

The phone of the person stops ringing and a message pops up on the screen.

" STOP FOLLOWING THE KIDS... AND COME BACK NOW."

Lucy sees the message and tells Ian and Leo about the message and says, " What should we do?"

Ian replies, " Let's wait for this guy to wake up."

Leo and Lucy agree with Ian.

They take the person into their hotel room and tie him to the chair.

.

.

Ian's phone rings.

The call is from 'The Mister'

The Mister says, " Good job on catching him, you three did a great job. But now onto the real mission. Did you buy the things that were mentioned in the letter?"

Ian replies, "Yes, we bought all the things. Now, tell us quickly what's our mission."

The Mister says, " Tell Lucy and Leo to bring these two items i.e. 'A Book With Hard Cover and Many Pages' and ' Wires' with them to Room No. 12-B."

Ian replies, " I will come too."

The Mister says, "No, Only them. Wait for further instructions."

The call ended.

.

Leo and Lucy tell Ian to take care of the person.

.

.

Leo says, "Why does he need these two things?"

Lucy replies, "Wires and A Book, let's ask him directly."

.

.

Leo and Lucy reach Room No. 12-B.

There is no one in the room but there is a letter on the table. Lucy opens the letter and on it is written;

"LEAVE THE WIRE AND THE BOOK ON THE TABLE AND GO WAIT FOR 15 MINUTES OUTSIDE."

.

"1 Minute Left..." says Leo.

.

10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1... Let's go Inside.

Lucy and Leo enter the room again.

To their surprise, there is neither the book nor the wires on the table.

Now, there is a Knife and a gun with a note " CHOOSE ONE"

" What was the book and wires for then?" Lucy yells.

A message pops up on Leo's phone, it's from Ian, " Choose one quickly."

"Why is Ian messaging us this?" Leo says (surprised with the message)

Another message pops up on the screen, " 10."

Another message, "9"

Another message, "8"

.

.

.

.

Another message, "1"

.

.

Ring... Ring...

Leo's phone rings, it's from Ian.

Leo picks up the phone and

" BOOM "

"A LOUD NOISE"

Leo and Lucy are in shock, they are crying, they don't know what to do.

The employees in the hotel are running to the place from where the loud noise came from.

"PLEASE LEAVE YOUR ROOMS. THE FIRE IS SPREADING FAST. THREE ROOMS HAVE ALREADY BEEN DESTROYED COMPLETELY. PLEASE GATHER IN THE WAITING AREA."

.

.

Leo and Lucy are in the same place.

An employee tells them to gather in the waiting area.

He notices the tears in their eyes and asks them, " Was someone close to you residing in any of these rooms i.e. Room No. 24-B, 25-B, and 26-B? If not, please gather in the waiting area quickly. The fire might spread."

Since this was a lawless zone, no one arrived on the scene apart from some firefighters, it took 3 hours to extinguish the whole fire.

After the fire was extinguished, the area was sealed. No one was allowed to enter that area.

.

.

The scene shifts to Mr. and Mrs. Delome;

The Leader says, "They want to finish the mission quickly. Let's open their handcuffs. But don't try to do anything funny, Mr. and Mrs. Delome. I still have the phone and also a message typed. I just have to press the 'SEND' Button."

Mr. and Mrs. Delome replies, " Yes, open the handcuffs and let's finish this mission quickly."

Mrs. Delome says, " Do you have a map?"

The Leader replies, "Yes, here it is."

Mr. Delome says, " We need weapons too, A large wire, guns, and ammunition."

The Leader replies, "Don't worry, we will provide you with everything. You just need to reach Station 1 first. When you are about 10 minutes away from the station, you will be provided with everything that you need for the mission."

Mr. and Mrs. Delome say, "Let's head to the station then."

The Leader says, " Yes, of course, but before starting the mission, we need to blindfold you guys, you know, precautionary measures..."

Mr. and Mrs. Delome are blindfolded and then taken to the starting place and now their mission starts.

.

.

The scene shifts to Lucy and Leo;

Lucy and Leo are in the waiting area, with tears in their eyes, Leo's phone rings;

Ring...

Ring...

It's from 'The Mister'

The Mister says, " Sorry for that. Our boss wanted to have something so that you will not say, 'No' to the mission."

Leo says, "We already accepted the mission, so why did you do this?"

The Mister replies, "Your mission was already over when you brought the Books and the Wire to that room but our boss wanted to extend your mission."

"Already Over?? Extend the mission?? What is the meaning of all of this?? Is this some game??" yells Lucy.

Leo says, " We will never accept the extended mission now. You killed our brother."

The Mister replies, " You know you have to. We did all this because we want you to accept the extended mission."

"But you killed our brother, why, why, would you do that?" Lucy and Leo yell.

The Mister replies, "I want to tell you somethi...
