(Part 3)
Looking at the top of the hill, all of them went towards the wooden cabin located in the center which was locked.
"Who has the keys?" Azazel asked looking at the others.
"The head coach gave them to Ezekiel." Cassiel pointed remembering. All of them looked at each other in disbelief while turning around to find Ezekiel lying flat on the ground as if dead.
"What was the head coach thinking at that time when he gave the keys to him?" Heber asked astonished.
"Who knows?" Let's Just take the keys from him and then continue." Gabriel took the key out from Ezekiel's pocket and threw it towards Helios, "Hurry up and open it!"
Helios grabbing a hold of the keys opened the lock of the wooden cabin.
Inside the rectangular cabin a large square wooden tile was struck with a huge lock on the floor. Helios kneeled down to unlock the wooden tile while the others gazed in wonder. "It's just sports drinks kept inside. Why does that dunce head coach lock it as if gold blocks are sealed in?" Azazel asked. "Who knows?" Kenzo rolled his eyes annoyed.
"Clunk!" went a noise unlocking the lock. Helios pulled the tile upwards as Ryan and Xavier gave him a hand. Looking inside a ladder was connected, reaching deep down the underground tunnel. "I'll go first!" Kenzo stood up. "Wait a minute…" Seraph stopped him. "Take this with you." he handed him a flashlight which was attached to a forehead band, "I learned from our previous mistakes when we kept taking the flashlights again and again in our hands, and they would all break if fell even once. Since we have to carry many boxes I thought of this idea to make it less problematic. All thanks to captain Rauf's style."
"Tch!" Kenzo clicked his tongue vexed, "Don't utter his name in front of me. My blood boils!" "There's no way in hell I am wearing that headband!" he freaked in anger. "I know that you have a very unstable relationship with him and so does Helios, Seraph, Ryan, Gabriel and Xavier too. But, it's not like we are doing this on purpose. It's just our need, if we have to accomplish this task we must do It. or else if you want us to get lost in the dark like the last time then it's up to you" Feng advised. Kenzo rolled his eyes in frustration once again.
"Fine! Just this once only!" he snatched the headband from Seraph's hand, wearing it. Switching the flashlight on Kenzo prepared to climb down. "Just so you know… you really look good in his style." Ryan complimented teasing. Kenzo glanced at him frustrated "You brat! Just so you wait!" he gritted pissed. Soon, he climbed below. Behind him Feng, Gabriel, Poseidon and Adam followed. The rest of them stood on the leader leaving a few steps away from each other.
Kenzo stepped on the floor to find himself inside a rusty, shabby and unkempt attic like room. "This place reeks." he complained disgusted. Before his eyes, stacks of sport drinks boxes, labelled with different flavors each, were kept one atop of another. "How in the hell world did he fill this place with this many sports drinks?" Adam questioned dumbstruck. "Don't ask this brat. Ask this that, when in the world will they even finish?" Gabriel corrected.
"Say! How many boxes do we have to take out from here?" asked Feng looking above at the others who were standing on the ladder leaving four to five steps each. "Up to 56! Each one of us takes four boxes down each!" replied Cassiel from the cabin above. "What?! Four boxes each?! Wasn't it three just yesterday? What is wrong with that Head coach? Is he trying to kill us?" Azazel uttered in disbelief.
"Shut up! You work thief! If he says four then so be it! Who the hell does he think he is testing us like that? Let's show him what we can do!" claimed Kenzo annoyed. "The four of us will be passing the boxes one by one, stack them at the cabin above! Once we are done with all 56 of them tell us and we'll come out. Only, then will we all take them down together!" he explained.
"Alright!" Helios responded. "Looks like we'll have to move fast. Or else we'll run late. And, if that happens it will cost us our entire night's sleep." Xavier warned. "Don't worry, Brother Xavier. Just like Kenzo said, we will show him what we've got!" Ryan confirmed. "Hell yeah!" Cackled Adam agreeing as well. And just like that, the boxes were passed one by one from down below the underground room up towards the cabin. First five, then ten, then twenty five, till forty and lastly all fifty six were lined up in the cabin above.
"Alright you can stop now! We have all fifty six boxes lined up here with us!!" reported Ezekiel from above. "They're done? Moreover, you are also awake now?" asked Poseidon confirming. "Yes, they are however we have less time up on our sleeves to go back down. So you all better hurry up and get out!" told Cassiel. "Tch!" Ezekiel clicked his tongue cross whispering, "Who would be lazy in a situation like this?"
And so, one by one every one came out of the underground tunnel towards the cabin. "That stinky room is still so full so those sports drinks. I am sure we'll have to climb here tomorrow again as well~ I am so tired~" cried Adam embracing Seraph. "Haha… don't be sad. We'll reach back to the camp in no time since climbing down is much easier than climbing up." he encouraged ruffling his hairs . "Ah! Right! It is easier to go down than climbing up! Come on then! What are we waiting for?!" Adam asked instantaneously pumped up.
"Aa…ha… where did all that energy instantly came from?" Heber asked lazily. Lastly, Kenzo came out. Removing his headband and giving it back to Seraph he sighed annoyingly, "My hairs are ruined thanks to it!" Seraph and Xavier glancedat each other chuckling amused. "Hurry up and close It." Feng handed the lock helping Helios to lock the tile again.
The others in the meanwhile collected four boxes in their arms and made their way out of the cabin. In the end, Feng and Helios locked the cabin door taking their share, as the others nodded.
