After Rain's
Episode 24: Keep Pursuing
“Mr Allen, the Princess wants to leave the palace with a secret escort,”.
“Hass secret? Did he say he wanted to see who?” Ask Allen.
Dayang even shook his head, “No Sir, but the Princess is busy choosing ordinary clothes.”
“Good. Go,” tell Allen.
It was only a few minutes that he entered the car to escort Polaris but now he has to bet his life to save her. Damnit.
“Allen, I've sent an emergency signal to the palace,” said the driver of the car that Allen was riding. There are three people in this car including himself and unfortunately again with limited weapons.
While there are three cars that are chasing Polaris if the estimate is correct there are about three to four people in each car. Two cars were targeting Polaris and one car was being assigned to block Allen.
“Effort to break through, open my window Thom,” I've prepared to pull the trigger eyeing the rear tire of the car blocking us.
“Open also my window Thom,” said Ricko, the bodyguard who sits on Thom's left side who is focusing on driving.
Doorr…. Dooorr….
The sound of a gunshot aimed at the rear tire of the car missed, Ricko pointed his gun at the rear glass of the car but failed. Turns out the car uses bulletproof material as well as the body.
“Definitely the people behind this are not random people to use bulletproof cars all,” said Ricko who returned to his seat and Thom is still focused on driving.
Allen also sat back down, there was no resistance from the car in front which means that one car was deliberately used to block Allen's car chasing Polaris.
“Can't we take another path Thom?” Allen tried to invite discussion to look for other options.
“This car is equipped with GPS you see? And today is a national holiday because there is a Royal Wedding so some roads are closed for celebration,” explained Thom.
Allen seemed to lose his mind, he again stretched half his body through the window and again aimed at the tire of the car, one or two shots missed. He never shot the tires of a car that was driving before but this must be the same as the shooting learning exercises that he routinely did.
Rickopun did not stay silent, he again fired at the car but now he focused on the tires of his car, “even though we managed to shoot the tires, the car in front was quite far away,” cried Ricko.
The sound of the gun echoed and certainly attracted the attention of other road users, help had begun to arrive marked by the sound of sirens from police cars.
Allen pulled out his cell phone looking for Polaris and pressed the call, "you called your uncle?" ask Ricko.
"Damn," muttered Allen. "The number is busy, I've sent an emergency signal to the palace security. But Polaris numbers are busy" Allen explained.
"Maybe he is also seeking help" Thom said from the steering wheel.
“What if I just hit the car from behind, I'm getting frustrated,” cried Thom.
“You are crazy,” replied Allen.
“Then it was so fast to bob the tires for them to stop,” cried Thom.
“Can't communicate with the pursuing police officer?” Ricko asked while shooting at the car in front of them.
“Sials. We have entered the hilly area,” he added.
The car that Thom drove was speeding though it seemed like Polaris was far enough at least they had to get this car to get information.
“Awaaaassss....!!” yell Thom. Apparently he stepped on the brake suddenly and because he had previously speeded, the choice was only two: let the car hit or slam the steering wheel and mired into the ravine.
Braaaakkkk…….
The loud sound of hitting two cars that collide with each other is inevitable, while Thom shouted to hold on and put on a seat belt, quickly car slammed into the enemy car.
They didn't expect Thom to crash his car this fast but it's better than falling into a ravine.
Our car was dragged about five meters away and in the reverse position, I saw Ricko's airbag inflating and Thom seemed unconscious. Ricko was still conscious because I saw him trying to untie his seatbelt until his body fell and then crawled out.
In the reverse state of the body I also saw blood dripping from my head, I don't know how severe this accident is. I hope Ricko moves in to save us, especially the unconscious Thom.
Ricko pulled Thom's body, probably a little hard because he was in the steering wheel. Slowly my gaze also became more and more faint maybe my consciousness would also disappear until I felt Ricko pull my body and my gaze also slowly darkened.
But I can still feel my body being dragged and my name being called and the sirens maybe a police car or an ambulance. My body felt crumpled but I didn't feel my consciousness completely disappearing for at least a moment he didn't need to feel any pain in his body.
Whahuh? The three?

“Deploy all guards, police and elite forces to search for them. See also the CCTV on the streets of Polaris and get their vehicle number,” shouted furiously King Fomalhaut at the heads and generals.
How could he not know his daughter left the palace, with whom he asked permission to leave the palace. All negative thoughts continue to appear in his head, “Lucas, call the Crown Prince and Queen here,” tell King Fomalhaut.
“Siap.”
King Fomalhaut's view leads to a sofa near his desk, “Regulus, did you take part?” ask King Fomalhaut in full search.
“Hmmm... do you suspect your own brother?” replied Prince Regulus leisurely.
“Stop pretending!!” king Fomalhaut.
Prince Regulus got up from his seat and confirmed the button of his suit, “I know you are in a state of turmoil but be professional, the defense of Magellan's country is in my power so I will investigate this,” he said as he left King Fomalhaut's room.
“Wait for Regulus!! If it proves you're involved, I swear I won't forgive you.” King Fomalhaut was furious, his eyes filled with a vengeful aura.
Prince Regulus breezed away after hearing his brother's last words and accidentally met his brother-in-law, then he bowed as a sign of respect and then he continued walking away from the palace.
King Fomalhaut threw his own body into his chair which was fortunately soft until it made a squeaking sound.
His right hand he held up on the arm of the chair as his finger2 spiked his forehead, "fuck you Regulus," his voice filled with stifled anger.
The door was opened revealing the hasty Queen Rose, could be seen her tears spilling, "how... What if something happened to Polaris," she said, shaking right in front of King Fomalhaut's desk while her husband remained in his position.
The sound of the door opening the second time was heard, no need to guess who entered must be his son, El Nath.
"Conspiracy... Betrayal!! Is uncle behind all this? Say papa!!" El Nath.
King Fomalhaut glanced at El Nath, "say who Polaris wants to meet?" voice cold.
El Nath turned his face away, angry as to why he had let his sister out.
"Why avoid me? Do you feel sorry now?" king Fomalhaut said it was like insinuating El Nath but El Nath was his caretaker, his only son.
"He wants to see Sirius" replied El Nath, courageously looking at his father.
"Explain about him without anything you cover up" his father ordered. Now the position is a bit relaxed.
He saw Andrew was waiting for him and then walked along with him, “ according to our orders have taken him somewhere,” he said very slowly.
“Good.”
“We wait for the next command,” Andrew said as he opened the car door for Prince Regulus then he headed towards the wheel of the car. He put on a seatbelt and then pulled a cell phone out of his pocket.
“This is the phone of Mr. Princess Polaris, we have eliminated other evidence besides this phone,” he said while handing the phone to Prince Regulus who sat behind without turning his body away.
Prince Regulus accepted it, “we've changed it in airplane mode but it's still possible to track his image but that's also what we're mistaking because of that I dare to bring him here, ” Andrew added, “if you are done with that phone I recommend to destroy it.”
Prince Regulus was pleased that Andrew acted so amazingly even in a heavy duty like this, “what about the bodyguards that follow Polaris?”
“They were in an accident and have been rushed to the hospital. No need to worry because there are no CCTV mountain roads and our people have also fled without a trace.”
“Can you be trusted?”
“Of course they are professional, there are no traces of tires other than Allen's car. The car they use is very good with advanced modifications.”
Prince Regulus laughed with satisfaction, his intention to vacillate his brother's government in fact will soon be realized, “is Allen Shi's nephew?” prince Regulus wanted to make sure.
“True. I heard that this time is critical because of the loss of a lot of blood, of the three of them only Ricko is still conscious but the information will not help much.”
Prince Regulus laughed again, "really, Ricko won't be of much help" he murmured.
