BACKING

Chapter 7: The Abyss Story

Caro stopped the bike somewhere. He told Xyna to go down and take off her helmet. After locking his bike, Caro asks Xyna to follow him.

“Where are we going?” ask Xyna full of probes.

Since driving Caro looks suspicious. He turned back and forth as if he felt watched. Afraid of something unexpected happening, Xyna prepared herself if at all times she had to run.

“Hey, I want you to promise.” said Caro suddenly turned around.

“What? Promise to what?”

“We will enter “Zona Secret” after this. I want you to promise not to tell Eroz or Liza about this place. We could be in trouble if they find out. Understand?”

“Ba- Alright. A- I understand.” said Xyna somewhat doubtful.

Hearing Xyna's words, Caro smiled faintly and then stretched his steps. Arriving at a small alley, the man told Xyna to go in first while he would look around the alley first. After feeling safe and making sure no one was following them, Caro caught up with Xyna and opened a door for her.

“Remember this. They're not bad people. But they “sikit” have a problem with Eroz. Always near me and do not pretend like.” Caro's message makes Xyna screech in wonder.

“I'm not like that. Have I ever done anything like this?” objection Xyna felt herself never doing anything strange.

“Yeah... if you don't want to be counted ***** and used in crowds by them better obey my words.” reply Caro briefly then enter the place.

Xyna pecked for a while in place. His body shuddered in horror listening to Caro's words just now. Despite her fear, Xyna kept her steps up and entered the place.

Xyna went down the stairs behind Caro. In the dark and silent hallway, the two of them were silent to each other. They only heard their footsteps and continued walking until they reached a white door. Caro smiled slightly before opening the door.

“Prepare your eyes, Miss.” said Caro then opened the door.

Goddamnit!

That was the curse of Xyna's heart after seeing the scenery inside there. The girl pinched Caro's arm with a flushed face.

“Are you crazy?!” whispered Xyna while covering her gaze. He was trying not to see the various sights of 21+ in front of him.

Flickering lights, loud music and various******* are echoing in the room. That place is a night club. At least that's the picture Xyna can give.

“This is just the outer appearance. I'll show you where this is.” said Caro then pulled Xyna's hand.

The man took her deeper. Caro even had time to greet with some people there while continuing to hold Xyna's hand.

“Hei Caro!” call someone to stop Caro's move.

“Ah! Finally met also.” said Caro approached the source of the sound. “Yo, How are you, Jean?”

“I'm good, Carvvooo.” Jean replied while making a special greeting with Caro.

“I have a need with you. Can we talk in a quieter place?”

“Oh sure! Whatever for my friend.” reply with Jean happy.

Jean took them to the karaoke room. There he let them sit down and poured them wine. But because Xyna did not like such drinks, Caro and Jean ended up drinking.

“What do you need, friend? The information? Weapon?” asked Jean across from them. “you know I have it all. Just mention it.”

“Hehe. But what I need now is not all that.” said Caro shyly embarrassed. “Actually what I need is your motivation. Especially for him.”

Jean glanced at Xyna. “What motivation? Motivation Love?” goda Jean then chuckled small.

“Not. He needs motivation for Night Knight.” Caro said changing the mood.

Jean who had initially chuckled instantly fell silent. The man did not seem happy to hear the name of the night knight. He drank his drink while trying to cover up his dislike.

“Why did you come to me? Don't you know I've been out a long time?”

“But I came to think of you when I heard her background from Liza.”

Caro glanced at Xyna. “Sana tell her about your family. He will help you get rid of your doubts.” Caro said with a sweet smile.

Although she doesn't trust everyone in the room 100%, Xyna tells her story. Starting from the death of his mother, his father who remarried then he who ran away from home and he who joined the Night Knight because he did not want to trouble his brother.

After the story, Jean laughed. The man felt deja vu with Xyna's story and looked at her more casually.

“So you doubt whether your decision is correct or not?” asked Jean spontaneously in nodding Xyna.

“Jean, you know Eroz is a cold guy. He must have forced Xyna into the Night Knight using his background.” Caro said then downed his drink.

“Isn't that clear? She is Xanox's sister while Eroz is the vengeful genius. I'm sure Eroz plans to use it in the future.”

“Using me? For what?”

“Using you as a Pawn in his plan.” replied Caro with a smiley smile. “All Night Knight members are Pion Eroz. He never regarded anyone as human and only saw them as goods. Including myself.”

“What? Why?”

Caro quiet. The man bowed his head and only looked at the red Wine in his hands. Feeling Caro's strange demeanor, Xyna turned to Jean and looked at her questioningly.

Jean took a long breath. Although he was actually upset by Caro's hanging attitude, he had no choice but to explain it and help his best friend. Jean then gulped down her Wine a few times before putting it on the table.

“The story is long. Take a good look because I will not repeat it.” said Jean infiltrated Xyna. The girl put on a ready position and nodded vigorously.

“Good, I understand!” hearing it made Jean smile. The man started his long story.

“There used to be three friends.The three friends were studying at the same campus and had the same purpose. They are very close despite having different abilities. The first is very clever, the second is very calculating and the third is very brave. One day, either out of boredom or something, the Brave made a small gathering. The group was named Night Knight.”

“Night Knight was originally just a small gathering where wild race lovers gathered. The Brave deliberately set it up in order to follow the various wild races that he came freely. But. because of his figure is so cool, eventually many people join and become members of the Brave. Including Me and Caro.”

“At that time we did a lot of things. Such as washing the motor together, walking the afternoon together and various other things that are reasonable in doing by a group of motorcycle lovers. Although the Brave already has a lover, but he still equitably divide his time for various things. Until..”

“Si Smart get into our association.” cut Caro arrive.

“Si Smart?”

“Yeah. One of the brave friends. At first he was a cool figure who was so cheerful and humorous. Although not as wise as the Brave, the Smart is a person who managed to overcome various problems Night Knight to successfully attract many people into this association.”

“That's what made us big and managed to top the victory to date. Because of the contribution of the Smarts, many Night Knight members have bright futures even though most of them are just street children who are not managed.” obviously Caro then drink the wine until it runs out.

“What... The Smart is Eroz?… Then who is the Brave?” ask Xyna guessing the characters in their story.

“His name is Damian Zacsky. He was a strong yet foolish Brave. So stupid he even accepted the challenge of SD.” boy said Caro began to get drunk.

“Damian? Who'sis that? I've never heard that name from Liza.”

“What do you mean Liza the backbone of the family? You may not have heard it because he did not have time to tell it because he was too busy working.” Jean explained making Xyna's eyes turn.

“What?”

Brak!

Caro falls to the table. “Forwardly, I loved him so much.” Caro's already drunk.

Xyna was silent for a while. He wanted to ask various things at that time especially about Liza. But because Xyna did not like hanging stories, she finally decided to ask further stories about Eroz and Damian.

“Then what happened?… What happened to Damian and Eroz? Where's Damian? Why is Eroz the current head of Night Knight?” xyna asked to know the end of the story.

Jean was silent for a moment before a moment then smiled faintly. He seemed to have heard Xyna's questions. With a heavy voice and a little light he replied,

“He died.. Eroz killed him in the race.” said Jean instantly made Xyna speechless.
