Canticles

126. Romance ?

Meanwhile, in an empty building not far from the market. Elvira is seen sitting on the floor with both hands tied back. Not far from him were three men sitting relaxed while playing cards. Apparently the beautiful teacher had been kidnapped by a group of black men.

Elvira who had just regained consciousness from her stupor seemed to circulate the view to the corner of the room. He shook his head to throw away the dizzy feeling of the drugs given by the kidnappers.

" You've been sober apparently...!" a black man named Michael.

" Who are you ?. Where are we...?" elvira asked as she looked at Michael boldly.

Elvira's bold attitude amazed Michael. He smiled and approached Elvira.

" We're somewhere safe Ms. Pretty." said Michael, trying to touch Elvira's face.

Elvira whimpers until Michael's hand hits the wind. The other two men laughed to see Michael fail to touch Elvira.

" What do you want...?" ask Elvira.

" Money..," said Michael quickly but made Elvira smile wryly.

" Money ?. Do you know who I am ?. I am a volunteer who came from another country to help the people of your country. So this is how you treat the person who has helped you...?!" asked Elvira loudly.

" Silent !. We don't need help. All We need right now is money so that We can get out of this misery...!" sahut a man named Samuel while pounding the table.

" What is your brain made of ?. We have come to help ease your suffering. How can you make it difficult for us. The money you asked for was already dibis dipake shopping all the kitchen needs!. Do you know, what you're doing is making the help that we should be giving hampered. It's almost lunchtime, because you guys I can't help the volunteers prepare lunch for your people. What is the fate of these children ?. Do they have to resist hunger again because the cooking process is disrupted because I am not there...?!" elvira said annoyed.

The words of Elvira made Michael, Samuel and a colleague surprised and looked at each other confused. Seeing this made Elvira smile and asked them to untie her.

" Please let me go now..," pinta Elvira expectantly.

" Where is this...?" ask Samuel.

" Yes, it's just gone. Kasian kitaan kita children if you have to starve because of the cook We kidnap..," said Samuel's colleague.

Samuel and Michael nodded and prepared to untie Elvira's hand. But their intentions came to a halt as a loud voice restrained them.

" Don't believe the woman's words. He's been lying to you...!" said the voice of a man who later became known as their leader named Obie.

" Obie...!" call Michael and Samuel together.

" Well, it's me. Good thing, you are not consumed by the words of this woman..," said Obie while sitting on a chair.

Behind Obie stood five burly men. Their gaze was not friendly to make the room feel gripping.

Elvira also seems a little daunted by the arrival of Obie and five other men. He felt that the six men would not be easy to deal with. Moreover, the five men behind Obie stared at him with a passionate gaze that made the girl feel uncomfortable.

" So what's the next plan...?" samuel asked as he approached Obie.

" We'll ask for a ransom. This woman has an important position in her team. So it's not wrong if we set a high price to make up for it..," Obie said with a laugh followed by the laughter of eight colleagues.

Elvira growled. He tried to stand up and succeeded. Then Elvira leaned her body against the wall while grimacing.

" Mmm..., can we continue this conversation later ?. I'm going to the toilet now" Elvira said, moving agitatedly.

" Take him to Sam's toilet...!" obie said to Samuel's surprise.

" Why me...?!" samuel Protest.

" yes. That's because you're not interested in him, so I'm sure that you won't mess with him...!" sahut Obie while melengos.

Samuel snorted angrily and rushed Elvira out of the room. He showed Elvira the toilet outside the house.

" That's the toilet. You go there and don't try anything. I will not hesitate to kill you if you dare to act..," threatened Samuel while pushing Elvira's body to hit the wall.

" How do I want to finish my wish if this bond is not released...?!" elvira protested while glancing at the ties in her hands.

Samuel clucked and approached Elvira to untie her. Elvira then went into the toilet and locked the door.

Inside the toilet, Elvira smiled happily as she saw the window above the toilet wide open. Elvira easily climbs the toilet wall and escapes from Samuel's guard. But unfortunately Elvira's actions are known to Samuel's colleagues who stand guard next to the toilet.

Seeing Elvira run away, Samuel's colleagues ran after him. Samuel, who realizes Elvira is running away from the toilet, chases after her.

Even chasing is inevitable. Elvira ran fast down the narrow alley in the densely packed housing towards the market. The action of Elvira was also seen by Rex and his troops who indeed spread around the market.

The exhausted Elvira finally stopped running. He tried to breathe as much air as possible so that the tightness he felt reduced. But Samuel and his partner managed to catch Elvira and try to catch Elvira.

From where he stood Rex witnessed how nimble Elvira avoided checking the two men who were chasing him. Even Elvira counter-attacked the two men with a well-trained kick and punch. In that instant Rex realized that Elvira had above average martial skills.

After taking down his opponent, Elvira ran back. But because he was too tired to run, Elvira also fell down on the sandy soil. Just then Samuel's comrades came to Elvira.

Rex and his army quickly rescue Elvira until a fight is inevitable. Elvira seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when she found herself not alone there.

When a one-on-one fight occurs, Elvira escapes Rex's supervision. Elvira was caught and taken away by two black men who were Obie's bodyguards. Elvira knew that the two men had intended to harass her since the first time they met.

When Elvira was put in the car, the woman screamed and made Rex turn his head. Rex ran quickly after the car that started moving away. Because Elvira continued to fight by hitting and kicking in various directions, the car became unstable. This opportunity was used by Rex to stop the criminals.

From the window of Rex's car, he launched an attack on the man driving the car. Rex's punch hit the man's head, causing him to scream in pain and then reflexively stop the car.

Rex swiftly opened the car door and pulled the man out and showered him with punches and kicks until the man collapsed.

Seeing his partner not struggling to make the man in the car panic then took Elvira hostage by pressing a dagger into the woman's neck.

" Stay there or this woman dies...!" said the man in black while pressing his dagger.

Elvira grimaced and Rex growled furiously. The two stared at each other to set up a strategy. The next second Rex moved backwards to outwit the man. It was then that Elvira attacked the man with her elbow. Elvira's blow hit the man's nose, causing him to scream in pain and accidentally pushing Elvira out of the car.

Lucky Rex sprightly welcomed Elvira's body with both hands. When Elvira's body was saved, the car drove quickly to make Rex and Elvira's body fall to the ground with Rex's body position under Elvira.

Rex and Elvira meet again. The two pegged for a moment and gasped in shock as the sound of footsteps of Rex troops approached them.

Elvira rushed up from the top of Rex's body with a blushing face then shook off the sand attached to her clothes. While Rex seemed to try to get up while smiling thinly.
