The Journey of the Heralds

Chapter 1 Arrest

"Catch that kid! don't get away!" shouted a burly man in a black jacket at some of his friends who were dressed the same.

Seen some school children in SMU uniforms that have been colored various colors of paint pursued by 10 men with stocky black jacket.

After 6 children were caught, they were collected in one corner of the field that was somewhat protected by trees.

Judging from the identifiers that are uniform they turned out to be 5 of them 1 school and another different school.

"what is this boss? She's different from the rest of the school..!"asked one of the burly men to his leader while holding the hand and shirt of one of the school children.

"yes.right!" said the ringleader after confirming by researching the boy's face.

"do you know this boy?" ask the leader to 5 other children while staring at them alternately.

"no sir!" answer them in unison.

"all right, you go home!"

"be careful when I see you fighting, I'll finish you off!" he threatened the five children.

"take them to the school gate and let go!" he continued to give orders to his men.

"ready boss!" replied his men and immediately went to bring the five children.

"shut this kid's eyes, we'll take it!" his orders were then on the rest of his men there.

"well boss!" answer one of his men.

The boy who had no strength only resigned when one of the men tied his hands back and covered his head with a thick black covering cloth.

"where am I going and who is this guy?" the child's mind was astonished.

I don't know how long he was in the car carrying him, he didn't know because his eyes were closed when he was carried by the mob to sleep because he was tired.

"hey wake!"

A voice woke him up and took him down from the car.

They walked for a while and the boy just obeyed their will.

"where's this? What's at sea? am I gonna be killed here?" ask the boy to the person who took him when he heard the roar of the boat engine.

"you're either dead or I'm killing you here!" answer the man threatening.

Because he could not fight and his hands were tied, the boy finally kept quiet according to the person who took him.

I don't know how long they were on that boat that finally stopped.

After getting off the boat and walking for a while the boy finally felt that he was being taken into a building, some screams of pain were heard in his ears.

"put him in room A and tie him up!" someone's orders turned out to be aimed at the person who took them.

"well boss!"

After the bond of both hands was removed, the child's hands were again tied in a different way.

His hands were stretched out upwards and tied to two pillars on his left right without opening his head covering.

After finishing tying the boy's hands together again, the two men were heard walking away from him and the sound of the iron door being closed.

"where's this? is this a human trafficking syndicate? or organ trafficking?"

The child's mind turned back to try to find answers.

The boy was confused and scared.

The screams of agony from the women and men taking turns continued to be heard in his ears nonstop.

His head began to shrivel realizing that he would not survive from there.

Without realizing it, the day had changed.

His body began to get cold and his stomach felt hungry because since he was arrested he had not eaten at all.

"kurandmk..."

there was the sound of the door of the room opening, there were 3 footsteps approaching the bound child.

"what's your name?" ask one of the men who came in.

"Original!" replied the child whose hands were tied and whose head was covered in the black cloth.

The boy was Ali Taye 11 months ago after his school graduation.

"Ali who..?" the man continued asking.

"Ali Taye!"

"what's your parents' name...?"

"why did this man ask my parents' names? are they going to kidnap them too? No. It can't happen!"

"what was the cry I always heard from being tortured by them to show the whereabouts of his parents like me? until I die, I cannot tell them where they are! mom, forgive your son! let go!"

Ali thought hard back then how to trick the person who questioned him

"hey answer my question! what's your parents' name?" ask the man again because Ali never answered him.

"don't know!" ali replied at the time

"how can you not know? where's them?" the man continued to ask

"dead already...!" ali replied at the time

"bugh...."

"buuggh..."

"womgh..."

"heeggghhh...."

3 blows landed on his stomach which made him unable to breathe for a moment.

"still not confessing! where's the?" ask the man again while shouting this time.

"No idea!"

"buugggh..."

"buugghhh..."

"ughhh..."

"heghghh..."

Back 3 blows landed on his stomach making him back unable to breathe.

"don't know.." Ali answered back with his chuckle.

"still won't say...? all right then, tighten the ties!" the man orders the other 2 people.

"aaaarrrrrghhhhh.." cried Ali as the bond between his hands tightened.

Both hands are pulled right and left tightening simultaneously making it feel like breaking up.

"how? still not saying? where are they...?"

"don't know! they're dead! you're not gonna get anything by torturing me, just kill me son of a bitch!" ali shouted in response to the man who questioned him

"alright if that's what you want! enjoy your torment!" said the man who tortured her.

The sound of their steps left Ali whose hands were still tightly bound and whose head was covered in cloth.

"open my head covering BANGSATTT...! show me your face, I'll kill you later when I'm free!" Ali's screams echoed through the room without concern for those who tortured him.

3days passed without feeling, but not for Ali.

His life today is like a hell that at all times is full of various kinds of torments without being fed and drunk.

He could only sip water covered in his wet head from being doused in water as he fainted.

He was grateful that his body was still strong enough to accept the torture without telling his parents whereabouts.

Ali did not know how long he had been in the room in torture.

The question is who they are and what their relationship is with their parents.

"why did they stop torturing me? are they bored?" ali asked in his half-conscious heart because the torture on him had been stopped for a while and no one entered the room.

"kkkrreeeeekkkk.." The sound of the door opening suddenly startled Ali.

"it turns out I was wrong!" thought at that time.

A few footsteps could be heard approaching Ali and untie his hands, causing him to fall into a limp.

3 Days of torment without food and drink.

2 The men immediately picked up Ali and swept her out.

Ali who was still in a semi-conscious state could only resign if he had to die there, but he promised not to tell them the whereabouts of his parents.

Arriving in one room Ali was seated in a chair and his hands were tied to the handle of the chair.

An injection felt him stab his left arm.

"what did you guys inject me with?" he said because it was not powerful.

After being injected strangely a few moments later Ali's body gradually has the strength as before.

His body that had been weak now began to gradually get stronger again.

"open!" a woman's voice was heard following the opening of Ali's head covering.

His eyes felt pushy looking at the light in the room because for 3hr the head covering was not opened at all.

Slowly his eyes began to see clearly, his eyes looked around.

In front of him sat a woman in a military uniform complete with accessories.

Behind the woman and behind Ali stood two men in full military uniform.

"Meet me Lady X ! Welcome and congratulations on the success of this 3-day test!" the woman who claimed to be named Lady X said

"what does this mean?" tanya Ali was confused.

"what you've been through these 3 days is part of the recruitment from our intelligence department! Right now you have been declared a good graduate!"

"all the screams I hear every day?" ask Ali

"that's also the candidates we're testing!"

"then what does all this mean?" ask Ali

"we've recruited you into the intelligence department!"

"if I refuse?"

"we're going to inject a memory-removing serum so that you forget these events and places, if your endurance isn't good, you're likely to lose 30%-50% of your memory right now!" lady said a little threateningly.

"then what profit do I get?" ali asked with a long sigh realizing that he was not in a favorable position.

"essentially we're just like the military that's out there just different divisions and we're not exposed to the surface!"

"you will undergo special training here for 3 months before becoming an official and assigned member! Are you willing to join?" lady told Ali.

"all right I'm willing but with 1 condition!"

"there are no conditions you can apply for!"

"your choice is to join or go home with memory loss!" firmly Lady with high tone.

"if I was on duty and caught, what would be the fate of my family?"

"this park is very easy to track the whereabouts of someone especially from the intelligence department!"

"if that were to be quiet, we would always place the shadow bodyguards on their families who were on duty at the cross-section!"

"well then, I'll join!" finally Ali decided to join the intelligence team which was originally thought to be a syndicate of human trafficking or organ trafficking.

"okay.thank you and welcome!" the woman's words began to soften.

"unhook!" the Order of Lady X

Lady X then took out some files and presented them to Ali.

"you read and learn this!"

Ali read some of the papers given by the Lady that contain some regulations along with the rights and obligations of each member of the personnel involved.

"how? do you understand the content and agree?" ask Lady X after seeing Ali finish reading it.

"well?" ali replied quietly because there was no other choice.

"well you have officially joined the intelligence!"

"now rest, tomorrow you will begin to undergo intensive training!"

"next you will be called Agent 001, the rank you will receive later based on the assessment during training!"

"Happy Joining 001!" lady X said as she reached out to shake hands.
