Droplets of Night Creatures

74. Betrayed

Genk Comot was still standing and staring at each other as if regretting their attitude towards Aruna. While Aruna seemed to break the silence by walking towards the corner of the room.

" It's enough money. Now we find a way to get out of here" said Aruna to resuscitate his five friends.

" Yes Run...!" five members of Genk Comot simultaneously and then began to split up to find a way.

They were forced to ignore the guests who were moaning in pain because they also did not want to die silly in that place.

" This way guys...!" galang said loudly to make his five friends turn their heads and rush closer.

They observed a hole that seemed to form a passageway whose tip was visible in a hint of light.

" That's what Lang is, it's so dark, '" said Ria while shuddering.

" The power of the former Ri sewer..," said Galang.

" We have to go through that ?. Don't want ah, it must be dirty and smelly. What if there were rats...?" asked Ria worriedly.

" This is Ri's only path. Yeah, who's first...?" ask Galang.

" Lo aja Lang. The girl let in the middle..," said Kenzo.

" But Yang..," Rengek Ria while holding Kenzo's hand tightly.

" There is no other way Ri..," said Kenzo firmly to make Ria a little upset.

" Ok, I'll go first. Don't be long guys.." said Galang then go into the hole the size of half a meter.

Then one by one the members of Genk Comot began to enter the hole. Some of the guests who were still awake tried to follow in the footsteps of Genk Comot but failed because their bodies were pulled forcibly by the inn employees who came suddenly.

" Some one ran away, boss...!" report an employee while peering into the hallway.

" Let it go. They will not be able to run far away.," said Yusi while circulating the view to the corner of the room.

The employees of the inn then gathered the guests in a corner of the dining room. They began to separate the female guests from the men. The women who were now prisoners began to roar and cry.

" Please let me go. Don't hurt me.." said a woman kneeling while holding Zaldi's leg.

" Noisy !. Shut up and don't macem-macem...!" snapped Zaldi while kicking the woman's body until it fell against the wall.

Yusi began to observe the female captives one by one and looked disappointed.

" What I really need isn't here. Where the hell are they...?" ask Yusi.

" They ran away, boss...!" one of the employees had a black face.

" They think they can run far. Now you go after them and capture the two women alive...!" yusi's orders.

" Good Boss...!" sahut the black-faced man while taking some friends to pursue Genk Comot.

" You two clean them up. Remember, there are no traces," said Yusi, staring at Zaldi and Amar and leaving the room.

" Good Ma'am.," said Zaldi and Amar along with forced face.

Then Zaldi and Amar immediately closed the door. They put on masks covering their faces and took out a tube of liquid ready to be sprayed at the prisoners.

" Stop it, don't do it...!" said an old man while trying to stand up.

" We don't want to do this either, sir. We know this is a criminal act. But our family needs to eat, and We have no other way but to follow the orders of Our Boss." said Amar with a sad face.

" Please forgive Us. The money that Our Boss promised us could make our family live a quiet life for the next few months" Zaldi said as he lifted the canister and prepared to spray the dangerous liquid believed to be the poison.

" I'll take the life of you and your family as long as you promise not to kill Us...!" said the old man loudly.

" I own a big company in this city. You can check this number if you don't believe it" said the man, handing Zaldi a business card.

Then Amar and Zaldi read it and stared at each other for a moment. Amar pulled out his phone and tried to dial the phone number listed on the card.

" Continue Zal..," whispered Amar.

" Say that Mr. Mansur is here and asks for a ransom" said Zaldi, who is owned by Amar.

Mansur seemed calm when Amar and Zaldi asked for some money to employees in his office.

" Well wait a minute. Fifteen minutes to go We come with the money you asked for" said Mansur's steady employee.

Zaldi and Amar stared at each other in disbelief. But not until ten minutes both were surprised because foreign numbers contacted Amar's phone. Moreover, the caller requests a video call connection.

Amar received the video call and was surprised when the caller asked to speak with Mansur.

" I need to speak to Mr. Mansur" the caller said firmly.

I don't know why Amar directly pointed his phone screen to Mansur's face. Then came the communication between Mansur and the caller who is known as Mansur's personal lawyer.

" No need to report to Ben Police. They are good people who are caught in a difficult situation. Please take care of the job and a decent salary for them so that after they get out of this place they do not need to be confused looking for a job..," said Mansur to make Amar and Zaldi touched.

" Good sir..," said Ben.

" You take care of everything immediately, take care of the prisoners." said Mansur, who was taken by Ben.

Then Amar and Zaldi again spoke to Mansur's lawyer.

" We are in front of the inn and this is the money you asked for. Please don't hurt Mr. Mansur and those people. You guys can keep my promise" Ben said as he showed the money in the suitcase.

" Ok, we believe. You guys wait beside the inn fence, there's a secret passage there. We will take Mr. Mansur and the captives there." said Zaldi.

" Ready. We meet there, '" said Ben, who is possessed by Zaldi and Amar.

Then Zaldi and Amar led Mansur and the captives to a secret road that led behind the lodging fence.

When he arrived there Ben and the other Mansur men looked immediately welcoming. They had prepared two cars to transport the ten captives.

" You're coming with us, aren't you...?" asked Mansur when he was going to get in the car.

" We stay here, sir. We changed our minds about the money. We don't want the money we agreed on. Seeing you all come out safely, moved us. We know that money is not everything. You do not have to worry, after this We will repent and leave this place..," said Amar to make Mansur smile.

" I know you guys are good people. Come with me, don't go back inside because it's too dangerous for you. Can your Boss get angry and kill you later because you have violated his orders." Mansur said.

Mansur's words made Amar and Zaldi doubtful. The two stared at each other confused and it was understood Mansur. He continued his words.

" I need good employees like you. God willing, your life can be better because the rezeqi you get from the lawful path will be a blessing for your family" Mansur said.

" Yes, Father is right. So We are with you now..," said Zaldi, who is a member of Amar.

A moment later Zaldi and Amar were seen sitting quietly in Mansur's car.

" What rich traitor can we live better later Mar...?" ask Zaldi in doubt.

" I don't know Zal..," said Amar.

" Don't be afraid, your decision is right because you betrayed a zholim and moved to a better place" Mansur said with a smile.

Zaldi and Amar nodded and smiled. A better life with their families now looms in the eyes of Zaldi and Amar.
