~They Caught Us~

He went ahead Hiver to stop a taxi while Hiver was busy wearing his white glove. They all remained silent that moment, there was nothing to talk about. Hiver was disappointed with Autumn's decision for leaving and Dete still cannot recuperate from his break down.A taxi had arrived and instantly Autumn came from the up floor. Dete chose the front seat and let Hiver with Autumn in the back seat. Just before Autumn went inside the taxi, a blue van was coming ahead of them and stop in front of the car. Hiver still outside the taxi looking suspicious when a guy came out giving a rough impression with his untactful beard,

Hiver walked off from him,he was ready if anything happens then he would jump in the taxi and speed away. Dete started to feel uncomfortable, he wanted to out but he got a sign from Hiver to stay remote in the taxi. Then, 2-3 guys came out from the van, this time they hold a revolver each remain solid in their hand, ready to set up some fire on the neighborhood.


"No! Dete, run!!!!!!!!!" the panic taxi driver obeyed when he heard the Hiver's scream. He speed away, although Dete had forbade him, he was too panic seeing too many gun has been used around him. Autumn couldn't say anything, she only turned back and looked from the window. She saw, Hiver was struggle, he didn't have any protection at all, then the van started to chase their taxi.Quickly, she shake Dete's shoulder "Dete...they are chasing us now!" she clung Dete's shoulder, tightly.
"Please, sir! You know any shortcut? We need to go to the police!" Dete half panic half bold. Sometimes, his eyes were focused on the side mirror, one of the guy took out the gun and immediately shoot them.
Luckily, the shoot was anonymous. Didn't hit anything, but that was enough to jolt Autumn's feeling. She held his shoulder tighter now, and she let her face buried in Dete's back.
The driver losing his control, he cannot handle the steering properly, his face was wet with sweat, his hands were shaking and Dete was worried seeing the symptoms.
"Stop...stop the car! Let us out, you will put us on danger more than those guys!"
He stop the taxi, Dete was out and he went to the driver's seat, pulled the man out and took over the driving. Now, Autumn moved to the front seat, Dete set the taxi's speed to it's max now, while the van still chasing them.
"What on earth they want from us?!" he shouted.
"No...how about Hiv?" Autumn asked, she cover her legs between her chest, biting her nail, and still remembered the last glimpse of Hiver.
Dete remained silent.Oh...save Hiver, God!

Hiver's eyes were folded with a piece of handkerchief. He can felt two people took him out from a car and pulled him roughly into a room. He was clueless now, he don't know, was it a robbery or something else? what they want to rob? Then, the handkerchief was unfolded. He could see everything, there were like 5-6 men standing in front of him in a room. They were all looking at him, like he was the main item to display. Hiver was amused, who are these guys? What do they want?
“I know you, Hiver.” finally one of them broke the silence. He looked 40’s in his appearance, wearing black suit, a hat, his right hand wearing glove but vice versa with his left hand. He have a thin moustache, with his white eyebrow and greenish eyes, he threw a smile to Hiver.
“My name is Moored. How are you?” he offered his hand but Hiver refused.
“I don’t understand, sir. Why I even be brought here?” he asked Moored.
Moored smiled, appearing his business-look, he put his left hand into his slack pocket.
“Hiver, I know what you’ve own now. I know that in your hand now, there’s abundance power, the power of magic.” Moored’s eyes were looking straight deep into Hiver’s eyes. He moved his eyes from Moored’s sight.
“Don’t be afraid, just give me the ‘Orgol’ and you’ll be fine.”
Hiver surprised, he looked at Moored. Is he a hunter? The Hunter that has been talked by Patrick? He led the expedition to take ‘Orgol’ from all the magicians and used it for his benefit?
“What? I don’t understand! Okay, let me go you’ve caught the wrong person!” Hiver struggled in his binding, tried to get away, Moored gave a signal to his men.
“Get him done until he tell us where is the ‘Orgol.’” he walked out from the room after giving the order.

Dete and Autumn still running away from the van, now they played harsh, every bullet that hit the car gave Autumn such a creep. She don’t know how long more they could hold this nightmare. She gave up and only buried her face on Dete’s chest. Pulled out her cry, in a moment, Dete just don’t know what to do, should he let her crying in him or calm him?
Dete’s thought had been wrecked by another bullet hitting the mirror, now he can felt Autumn’s hand were shivering and cold. He had no choice; Dete turned the car to the roadside, let the car fall to the shallow chasm, hoping for the best. At least, they only have minor bleeding and if the luck was on their side, the worse is only broke an arm or leg, yeah; it’s the best than been killed by a bunch of psychos who shot randomly at public.

Hiver closed his eyes; he tried to hold all the pain. Since half an hour ago, every punch poured to his face, his leg couldn’t feel anything now after 6 legs were kicking him. Even then, he would not tell them where the ‘Orgol’ is. He hopes that Dete can take good care of it, he hope Dete can take a good care for… Autumn. Hiver gasped, he felt suffocated, hard to breath, like something want to come out from his chest to his mouth. Flocks of clot blood out from his mouth, Hiver coughed for few times. Every time he coughed, he could felt like a dagger stab his throat. Oh, how painful, but he got to keep his promise to Dete and Patrick, Orgol should not fall to the hand of the wrong person.
Someone opened the door; they came again for sure to beat Hiver until he voice out the truth. But, that’s not going to happen!
