"Wh- Ho-..." Alice tried to look for a word but she can't seem to spell it out. 

"I think the word you are looking for is- 'I am sorry," I helped her. 

"... Argh!" 

Soon the Principal contacted Alice's father and even Alice's father agreed to that punishment. I guess it's one of the many qualities of a good parent. 

Before leaving, she cursed me several times when the Principal was not around. In support of her, Emma tried to but I showed her my phone and watched my finger stop right in front of the record button. She swallowed up her anger, and frustration and just glared at me. 

Nice way to start a day. Clearing one of the obstacles seems to have been eliminated for the time being.



Since it was Saturday I set up my destination straight for home. 

Before leaving Lily tried stopping and she slyly questioned me about yesterday's events but I dodged them pretty nicely. 

I can't tell her the truth, now can I?



'Allen, where were you yesterday…?' Lily asked me, hiding her obvious intention. 

'Just around here, what about you…?' I asked. 

'N-Nothing special… just here. What did you do yesterday…?' she still continued pestering. 

'Walk around the city,' I replied. 

'But why were you running all of a sudden yesterday…?' she asked. 

'Oh, about that. You saw, huh?' 

'Yeah…' she thought I was going to tell her the truth right now. I mean her face is just too easy to read. 

Apparently, I was mistaken for someone else and a few men came running at me all of a sudden. I got scared and ran in fear. But don't worry it was soon cleared,' I said. 

'O-Oh…is that so…? Then… see you later,' she said, 'Hey.'

'Yes?' 

'If you want someone to talk to I can listen,' she said, 'I am a pretty good listener you know…' 

'Yeah I will,' I replied vaguely. 



Even Selene came up, asking me whether I was actually feeling well or not. 

It was the first time someone actually asked me whether I was fine or not, of course except for my mother and father. They worry about me from time to time but other than them, Selene might actually be the first. 

Even Lily had some other purpose, she wanted to know what happened to those guys that were chasing me.

'I am really fine, Selene,' I replied, 'Thank you for asking. Take care on the way home.' 

Hearing my reply she felt a little relieved and we both parted our ways at the next corner.



"What am I supposed to do now?" I asked myself. 

Do I focus on the Student Council? But if I am going to do that, what am I supposed to do about the kidnappers? 

And if I focus on the kidnappers, I won't be able to focus on the Student Council. Somehow the pursuers knew about how I would react and they acted on that. 

No matter which route I took, somehow they caught up to me. They laid out their remaining members around the area, even before I exited the school. 

If I were to roam around as carelessly as before I might as well give myself to them. I can't walk freely as I used to. Although the Principal assured me that she will be going to provide her support, I can't rest easy with just that. 

The last time I remember, HYDRAs members infiltrated the school with arms, powerful enough to massacre the whole school if not stopped. 

Why do I always end up in a situation like this?? Every turn I make ends up on a dead end. 

Rerouting, rerouting, and rerouting… I end up in trouble. Is it just that my luck ran out or is the god decided to have fun with my life? Because no matter how you see it, I am literally at the center of the problem. 

The Student Council, Mr. X, the whole school. What else is there? 



Until I recognized similar surroundings, I kept on having thoughts that can be considered as either dark or negative. 

"What do you want with Allen?" I heard my mother's voice. 

"Ma'am as I have already mentioned. We are from the Hendrickson family. Our Master has requested a summoning of Mr. Allen. We only need a couple of hours and that's all," few men in black were standing in front of my house while my mother, wearing her usual apron, stood out in front of them holding a frying pan in her hand.

"I still don't understand why you need my son? I don't even know who these 'Hendrickson families' are. How am I supposed to believe you…?" mother asked them with a perplexed face. 

"Ma'am we have given you our card. Our telephone number and even the location of our head office. If this is not sufficient then how are we supposed to make you believe us?" the man in black asked politely. 

"Let me ask you something then," my mother pushed forward her pan against his black suit, "If a stranger asked you that they want your son for a while. Will you be willing to take them?" 

"... Ma'am can you please wait a moment while I contact my superior?" 

"I don't know…" my mother's expression seemed a bit unconvincing. I guess she still has her doubts.

"Yes, it will only take a minute."

I stood there hiding. Hearing their conversation. 

[Yes, sir, we are having a problem with his mother. She isn't willing to let us take Allen.]

{Did you give her our head office address?}

[Yes, sir.]

{Did you provide her with our telephone?} 

[Yes, sir.] 

{Lend her the phone then.} 

The man in black handed my mother the phone. 

{Am I speaking with Allen's mother?} 

"Yes," mother said. 

{Ma'am is there any specific thing that seems suspicious to you? We can do that to the best of our capabilities to clear all your suspicions.} 

"Ah… I find it suspicious for some men wearing all black to get my son. It's the first time I have heard of them. I don't feel good about letting them take my son, Allen." She said, "I can't let him go all alone." 

{Okay ma'am I think I know your reason for suspicion.}

"Yes… and what is that…?" my mother asked. 

{Why don't you all also come with your son?} 

"..."

{Ma'am?} 

*Beep* 

The mother ended the call. 

"I will let you take Allen only if you also take me with you," mother stated her demanding. 

"What?" The person standing in front seemed a bit confused. 

"Tell your superior that I agreed," mother said as she removed her apron. 

"Whaaaa~~" all the other men seemed to be captivated by my mother for reasons unknown. 

"M-Ma'am are you perhaps a single mother…?" One of them asked a strange question. 

"..." mother ignored that. 

After watching them for a while I decided to go. 

*Step*

*Step*

"Allen…!" mother saw me and called out to me. 

I waved to her and let her know I have seen her so she doesn't have to keep calling out to me. 

"Who are these people…?" I choose to be unaware of the fact that these people are sent from the Hendricksons. 

"It seems like they want us to go with them," she answered as she glared at them. 

"Is that so? Why is that…?" I asked. 

"Tell him," mother said to them. 

"W-Well our Superior wants to talk with you about a few things," one of them answered. 

"..." 

I am a kid in this situation so only my mother can tell them the final decision, whether we will go with them or not. Even if I know where they are from, I still cannot agree with it, in this situation. 

If my mother knew that I am involved in this situation I don't think I could handle her rage and worry. 

"My conditions will be the same," she said, "Let's go."



Soon we were transported to their mansion in an imported car. 

"Allen, do you have any idea where they are taking us?" mother asked me while she looked around.

"Why would I know?" I replied. 

"Yeah how would you know if you don't even know them," she said. 

"But it appeared that you had been talking to them since earlier, even before I came. Did they not get any hint or did they not reveal anything in all that time?" I asked while I stared at her. 

"I don't think so… they suddenly came right in front of me while I was watering the plants," she said as she tried to think, "The only thing they told me was that they wanted you and in exchange for your safety they gave me their contact information and their office address." 

"Mother not like it matters now but these contact information or even the location of their office might be fake you know?" 

I am not implying they are fake but there is a possibility. Do you believe everything that you read on the internet? 

No, after watching or after reading some definite things you believe something. 

Similarly, the coil has just given the mother a false location, mother didn't even confirm whether it was false or not. 

But yeah, normally people usually believe them but my situation is different than those people. Think about it. I was kidnapped, someone is watching over me and the way they were captured seemed too easy for them. 

If they can get to me, they could go to my family also. 

It's better to be precautions at times like this but mother or father, they don't know about this. 

The thought of them getting kidnapped wouldn't even cross in their wildest dreams. Why would it? From their perspective, I am already having a normal school life. 

"I know that, Allen." Mother replied, "But they kept insisting so I agreed to let them take me also with them."

*Knock-Knock* 

"We are here."
