THE GENIUS MAN

26. The Sick Genius

Sindi and Banda ran into the house. They do not realize a car has been parked in front of Sindi's house. When Sindi entered, she was surprised to see three soldiers in Barra's room.

"Who are they?" ask the wary Sindi.

"They are the ones who helped us." replied the Princess.

"What's? They're not the lieutenants who don't know themselves, are they? What are they helping?" ask Banda who just came in.

The princess then explains that Barra is experiencing mysterious pain. Barra's body could not be controlled and moved on its own. When the Princess and her family panicked, the three soldiers entered and gave Barra a shot. One shot, Barra's body recovered quickly.

"Well, how do they know Barra's sick?" asked Banda who looked suspiciously at the three soldiers.

"We're on a mission to keep an eye on you guys for almost a month. Apparently, you are not ordinary people including Barra. You are all great people who want to fight for the future of mankind. For this reason, our master sent us to bring you before him" said one of the soldiers who marched ahead.

"Your gentlemen? Ha, who is he. Have I ever met him, known him?" ask Banda who is getting suspicious. Something's wrong with these three men.

"Honestly, I'm not a bad person. We came upon our master's envoy. We're not soldiers as you might think. We barged in and were forced to wear army clothes. Perhaps, all of you are curious and would like to meet our master, we will gladly escort you" he assured everyone.

Barra who had regained consciousness, shook her head. He felt the medicinal effect the soldier gave him made his head hurt like a stab.

"Bar, are you okay? Did this soldier give you the wrong medicine?" ask Banda who holds Barra's hand.

"No, it's the right medicine. The shot that Walvin gave me was an injection that affected my brain. I wouldn't be so aware of myself that my body could be taken over by the medicine Walvin gave me. This is correct." explains Barra who made Banda surprised.

"Hemm, so what should we do? Meet the master?" whisky Sindi.

"Why don't we try. Hiding here, it's obvious it'll be discovered. Maybe the place of his master will not be known by Walvin." proposed Barra.

"But, Bang. Is it okay if we go with them? If they're just good pretenders and it turns out that old bad man's man, how?" the princess who is still not sure. There was still doubt in his deepest heart.

"This is what to think about, how to escape" replied Ipul who followed. Only Barra's mother did not gather while giving an opinion. The three soldiers were just sitting in a corner waiting for Barra and his friends to respond.

"Hey, you! I want to ask you one thing. Was Barra healed after you gave me that shot?" sindi asked who looked back.

"Not fully healed. The effect that Walvin gave us was much higher than that of our drug. For that, Barra must be examined in the head thoroughly." they replied firmly. Sindi turned her head back towards her friends with a confused face.

"We have no choice but to go with him. It's for Barra's sake." whispered Ipul.

"All right, you're all coming with me. The journey is very long and difficult. We must sneak out of this city." asserted the soldiers who walked first while holding tightly to the weapons. One of them gave a code to his friend to tell his master about this good news.

They left in two cars. One army car and one Banda car. Banda sped off following the direction of the army in front of him.

"May they be good people" said Banda, who continued to worry.

"Be quiet, you've said it a hundred times. I got tired of it." said Sindi who sat next to Banda.

Barra leaned against her mother's body, enduring the excruciating pain in her brain. Something like wanting to stab his brain. Barra's cold sweat splashed, his mother's shoulders wet.

"Barra, are you sick again?" ask Barra's mother who noticed it.

"really? His body does not shake like it was this morning." said the Princess ascertained the condition of her brother.

"I'm thirsty, please give me a drink." Barra said in a slow voice. Sindi moved quickly to give her drinking water.

"Surprisingly, you've been injected while you're still sick. Were they wrong on medication?" ask Banda who became anxious.

"They just seem to give me painkillers. I read a glimpse of the medicine they were dissolving" said Barra, in pain.

"That day, the pain came up again. I think I once had a stock of painkillers. Wait, I'm looking in my bag." said Sindi who opened her bag immediately. After finding the cure, Sindi immediately gave it to Barra. The princess helped Barra drink it. After taking the medicine, Barra did not feel any pain anymore.

"Only temporary painkillers but why do they bother injecting them? Barra can drink it right away. It's very strange how they behave." explained Banda who continues to nag.

"really weird. They say it's the medicine the master made. We followed him so that Barra could get the drug again, apparently it was just ordinary medicine." said Ipul who sat at the back.

The princess put on a sad face, Barra's face looked bud once like an undead. Barra's hands were cold, the Princess rubbed her hands and gave Barra a slight warmth.

"Bang, get well soon. The princess is still sick. If the Princess is sick and the brother is sick too, who makes medicine for the Princess? The current medicine is expensive, Bang" the Princess reminded Barra. Only the smile Barra gave returned his sister's words. While Barra's mother was crying silently. His heart was eroded and it hurt to see his children suffer.

"Sin, are we there yet?" ask Banda who suddenly stopped her car. Sindi who looked back, now turned to face the front. The car in front of him stopped. Three soldiers got out of their car and gave Banda the code it was time to get off.

"Wait a minute, I don't see a house. It's just a dump. How could his master live around the trash." said the Princess who became panicked. Maybe what Banda said was true. They fooled Barra and the others.
