To Save The Miss

"How? How did it happen?" I asked as I squeezed the paper in my hand. I could not believe that the couple will stoop so low as to resolve by doing something as dirty as kidnapping Rina. It made no sense and was a stupid resolve.

"She was on her way home when she got attacked and taken away!" The waiter replied with tears in her eyes.

"But didn't the both of you leave together?" Elsa asked as she stared at the waiter who was crying.

Hearing the question, I turned and looked at the girl, now I remember, she was one of the girls that didn't like the idea of I and Ruben working in the kitchen. If she had left with Rina as Elsa claimed, why wasn't she kidnapped as well or even attacked? Looking at her now, she seemed to be in a good shape.

"I wanted to go with her, but then she said she had something else to do and I should return, while I was going back, I heard her scream but by the time I could do anything, she had already been taken away!" The waiter replied.

"Aren't you the one always having issues with the miss? Who knows what you did and now she's gone, I bet you are also behind her kidnap!" Elsa insisted.

"You!" The waiter yelled in anger.

"Shut it down!" I ordered, shutting the two up immediately. I glanced at the two girls, one was insisting that the other was behind the kidnap and the other one is insisting on not having anything to do with it. Who should I believe? Things were becoming more complicated than I imagined and I needed to do something or else they will escalate. I needed to find Rina because it's only once we find her that the truth will be revealed.

"The letter says to hand myself over in exchange for the miss, I'll do it!" I spoke after seeing that the two girls have stopped arguing.

"Are you kidding me?" Ruben asked, not buying the idea.

"Hear me out, bro! It's best if I hand over myself to them, it's me they want and not the miss. Why put her into trouble just because of me? I got to do the needful which is meeting up with them and handing myself over to them," I explained.

"But—"

"There are no buts!" I said cutting him short of words and then passing him a look, hoping that he will understand my sign. He kept quiet and didn't say a word, I only hoped he understood or he'll end up destroying my plans.

"I'll like to go with you," Elsa spoke. We all turned to look at her and when she noticed our stare, she coughed awkwardly and began to adjust her glasses. "I mean, I'll like to go with you because miss Rina has been nice to me and I will love to help in saving her."

"Huh? Has she not been nice to all of us?" The waiter asked, not knowing if she should laugh at what Elsa said or not.

"But are you willing to save her? You aren't because you are behind the kidnap, you were with her when she got kidnapped but you returned unhurt!" Elsa replied.

The waiter wanted to argue back but then I stopped her from doing so. "Elsa, I understand your intentions and I'm very glad that you are willing to go to such length for the sake of your miss but, it won't be that easy and you know it. We are only left with this address and a little note along with her bangle, we have nothing else. We don't know if it's a trap to lure me in and how dangerous it is and so I hope you think twice about your decision."

"I still insist, trust me, I'll be fine!"

Seeing that Elsa was adamant about her decision, I stopped trying to make her change her mind. Though she was acting suspicious, I can't conclude yet until Rina is saved.

Since it was the four of us that were remaining, I sent the waiter home, leaving just Ruben, Elsa and then me. We locked the inn up and boarded a taxi that will take us to the destination written on the paper. It was almost a two hours journey and it was getting late by the time we arrived at the place which looked like a factory.

"We are here," the driver said as he parked the car well.

We all alighted from the car and then Elsa paid the driver.

"This place is a deserted area, I don't know what you kids are doing here but I hope you be quick and leave immediately," the man said as he drove off instantly.

"This place sure looks deserted," Elsa suddenly mumbles while she adjusted her glasses.

I and Ruben glanced at her without saying a word, she wanted to tag along so she wasn't expected to complain.

We walked ahead and approached the gate that led to the factory, we went in and walked to the building itself. It was quiet and inwardly, I was having a feeling that something big awaits us.

"Well, who do we have here?" A voice spoke from behind the moment we entered the building. We turned around and as expected, it was that same man along with a large number of men behind him.

<Basic mission: Defeat the boss>

-------------------

Seeing the system mission, I smiled inwardly. It's been quite a long time since I had a fight and my hands were beginning to inch me, I guess it was time to exercise my fingers again.

"You kidnapped my miss, why is that so?" Ruben asked, glaring at the man. If there was one thing I know about him, it would be the fact that he loved taking the lead during fights. Just like the last time, I had problems with Sean but he took it upon himself, causing him to become enemies with him. And now, he was taking this matter upon himself again.

"I didn't kidnap your miss, I only took her as bait to get your friend," the man replied with a chuckle.

Seeing his attitude, Ruben free angry the more that he clenched his fists. "You old cow! Have you no shame?" He roared.

"How dare you call me names! Get him for me!" The man yelled furiously.

It's time for action!'
