[INT. SICK BAY - MV SIRENA]
Coast Guardsman 2: (tired) All right, Hffyl. These items...where did they come from?
Hffyl: I...I'm not entirely sure. They seemed to just...appear in my pockets.
Coast Guardsman 1: This story is giving me a headache. (inhale) In all seriousness, lad, what really happened?
Coast Guardsman 2: (eying at a gold coin) This seems really old. Something made centuries ago.
Hffyl: Ok, what other proof do you want, mister?
Coast Guardsman 1: Your story doesn't seem convincing. I mean, we know that there are some instances where strange things happen and everyone doesn't seem to believe you but who would want to kill a kid like you anyway?
Hffyl: Then what about this? (shows his gunshot wound.)
Coast Guardsman 2: (look towards the wound.) Alright... maybe you did get shot. If what you were saying was true then we must bring you to the police station at your place for further investigation.
*Another coast guard enters*
Coast Guardsman 3: There was a news about boy in Penang with the same description when missing after escaping the hospital.
Coast Guardsman 2: So it's true that he could be a runaway, but there is still not much evidence on anyone hunting him. Try making a call.
[INT. POLICE STATION - KEPALA BATAS]
Officer Husin sat behind his desk at the Kepala Batas Police Station, his expression somber as he listened to Hffyl's parents. Hffyl's parents sat on one side of the desk.
Hffyl's Mother: Officer Husin, it's been days since Hffyl disappeared from the hospital. We don't know where he is or if he's safe.
Hffyl's Father: He's never done anything like this before. We're so afraid something terrible has happened to him.
Officer Husin: I understand your concern. We are doing everything we can to locate him. We've alerted our officers, and we're working closely with the hospital staff to gather any information that might lead us to him. We're doing everything in our power to find him and bring him back safely.
Hffyl's Mother: Have you found any leads? Any idea where he might be?
Officer Husin: (sigh) I'm afraid not yet. But we're doing our best, and we'll keep you updated on any developments. Please try to stay strong for Hffyl and the rest of your family.
As the worried family left the police station, Officer Husin couldn't help but feel the weight of their concern. Officer Husin looked up as one of his subordinates entered his office holding a file.
Junior Officer: Sir, we have an update on Ajjmal's case.
Officer Husin: Go on.
Junior Officer: We received a report from the hospital. There's evidence of an unknown person who entered Hffyl's ward right before he disappeared. Witnesses say this man raised the alarm about Hffyl's escape attempt.
Officer Husin: How did this man access the ward? Isn't there a security system in place?
Junior Officer: That's the strange part, sir. To get to the ward, one must pass through a locked door, which only the staff inside can open or it requires a specific card or pin code. We checked with the hospital staff, and no one recognized this man.
Officer Husin: What about the security footage? Any leads from there?
Junior Officer: (shook his head) We're having issues there too. The cameras experienced glitches during the time this man was in the hospital. It's almost as if they were being tampered with, or there's some external interference. We can't get a clear visual on him.
Officer Husin: This complicates matters. So, we have an unidentified man who somehow bypassed the hospital's security, and then conveniently disappears after raising an alarm. This is a thought out plan, but why a boy like him?
Junior Officer: There's another thing, sir. We receive a call from the Kedah/Perlis Maritime about a castaway in Langkawi with the same description.
Officer Husin: In Langkawi? It is unlikely that the person might be him since it was confirmed that he leaped out of a closed window. The fragment of the glass must had injured him on his leap. There is no way that he could reach that far. For now, hand the case to another officer.
[EXT. MV SIRENA - LANGKAWI]
The paramedics escorted Hffyl out of the ship into the ambulance.
Rizal: Well, the boy is no longer our responsibility now.
Faiz: He might have spun a good yarn, but we've abandoned our course, risked our reputation, and potentially our jobs. All for what?
Captain Ajwad: Well, for now, let's just prepare for our course to Indonesia.
[INT. LANGKAWI HOSPITAL]
Doctor: (checking Hffyl's condition) It seems like you took quite some number of hits, though, the nurse on that ship treat you really well. You would be able to go back home in no time.
Hffyl: Thank you, doctor.
*enters Coast Guardsmen*
Leading Coast Guardsman 2: Greetings doctor, we're here to pick up Hffyl and escort him back to his family.
Doctor: Ah, seems like you arrive just in time. I'll leave him to you then.
Leading Coast Guardsman 2: Thank you for your cooperation, doctor.
Hffyl were then escorted into a paramedic van.
[INT. PARAMEDIC VAN]
Leading Coast Guardsman 2: Hffyl Ajmal, isn't it?
Hffyl: Yes, that's correct.
Leading Coast Guardsman 2: We're heading toward the docks so you could be united with your family.
Hffyl: I appreciated it.
[INT. LANGKAWI HOSPITAL]
Doctor: Alright then, next patient.
Leading Coast Guardsman: (enters) greetings, doctor.
Doctor: Ah, hello Mister, what other things do you need?
Leading Coast Guardsman: I'm here to look at the... where is he?
Doctor: Oh, the boy? He had already been transported back to Penang with the rest of your colleagues.
Leading Coast Guardsman: My colleagues? We haven't even gain enough information about the boy yet. We don't even know where he lived at.
Doctor: What? But I just saw him being carried by your people inside a hospital van and heading towards the port.
Leading Coast Guardsman: We usually transport them back to the mainland with helicopters. You don't say...
Doctor: (realization) By Allah...
Leading Coast Guardsman: (to the other Guardsmen) Inform the Maritime Headquarters. We need to close the port. Look for the ambulance.
[INT. PARAMEDIC VAN]
Leading Coast Guardsman 2: Here we are, close to the port. We just need to walk to the port.
Hffyl: Couldn't you just drive in?
Leading Coast Guardsman 2: No, just follow us.
Hffyl: Alright then...
[EXT. LANGKAWI PORT]
Hffyl: (looking around) So, where's the transport?
Leading Coast Guardsman 2: Just a little further, Hffyl. We're almost there.
Hffyl: (nervously) Are you sure about this? It seems...odd.
Leading Coast Guardsman 2: (reassuringly) Trust us, Hffyl. We're just following protocol. The transport is waiting for you right up ahead.
Hffyl: (whispering to himself) Something doesn't feel right...
Leading Coast Guardsman 2: (in a low voice) Just keep walking, Hffyl. It's not much further.
Hffyl: (hesitant) Okay...
[EXT. DOCKS]
Hffyl: (peering at the boat) Wait...why are we heading towards that boat? That wasn't part of the plan, was it?
Leading Coast Guardsman 2: (avoiding eye contact) Don't worry, Hffyl. This is just a minor detour.
Hffyl: You said nothing about a boat.
Coast Guardsman 5: Just a change of plans. We're taking a shortcut.
Leading Coast Guardsman 2: (points a gun) It's time for a little adventure.
*gunshot*
Hffyl stumbled backwards into the moving boat.
Disguised Coast Guardsman 1: (checking Hffyl's pulse) Is he dead?
Leading Coast Guardsman 2: (mockingly) Oh, he's dead alright. Now, let's get out of here.
Disguised Guardsman 1: What if he's not dead?
Leading Coast Guardsman 2: (smirking) Look at him! He's out cold. Besides, even if he does wake up, he'll be too far from shore to swim back.
Boat Skipper: (whispering) We'll handle the body. Make sure he disappears without a trace, just like Flight 370.
Rest of the Crew: (nodding)
They quickly change their uniforms before slipping past security. The boat drifted into the ocean.
[INT. BOAT]
Hffyl: (regaining consciousness) W-where am I? (Check his wounds)
Hffyl: (listening to the fading footsteps of the guardsmen) They're leaving...
Hffyl: (examining his surroundings) A gun nearby... That could be my ticket to escaping this. (grabbing the Mossberg 500)
Boat Skipper: (checking behind) What's going on back there?
Hffyl: (Points gun) Don't make any more noises.
Boat Skipper: (Raising his hands up) C'mon kid, put that down, would you-
*bashes*
The boat skipper was knocked unconscious. Hffyl moved his body aside and commandeered the boat.
Crew 1: (points FN FAL) Oi!
Hffyl quickly turned around and fired his Mossberg rapidly in every direction without any training. None of his shots hit the target, but the shots flinched the crew and made them drop their weapons.
Crew 2: (using radio) We need help! Our boat has been hijacked!
Hffyl tried to took the rest of the crew captive and keep their weapons away from them until he arrived at a safe place.
[INT. MV SIRENA]
Zul: (noticing Hffyl approaching) Hey, what's going on?
Rizal: How did you get onto the ship?
Hffyl: (desperately) Please, I need your help! I've been kidnapped... I need to get to safety!
Faiz: (radioing for assistance) We'll get you to safety. Stay right here.
Hffyl: NO! KEEP IT RADIO SILENCE!
Questions remained as MV Sirena moved towards their next destination. Meanwhile, everyone on the boat was knocked unconscious and their communication devices had been tampered.
