Chapter 22
“Oi… Stop acting like someone in here!”
“Ehehehe… Sorry, always wanted to try it once.”
“Just get the first aid and get on with it.. Hec would really be pissed when he found out..”
“Alright, alright.. Sheesh… It’s his fault getting shot in the knee.”
“….. Hey, do you think he could walk again?”
“The look at his wound… I don’t—”
*THUD*
*CLICK*
After minutes had pass since they had left, Vayne finally gave a long sigh of relief. He was very much close of getting spotted, he then walked away from the cargos and went towards the door.
Slowly tried to open the door but it was no use, it is lock from the other side. He placed the right side of his head to the door to listen if there is anyone at the other side, it seems that no one on the other side but heard a THUD sound further away from him.
Right now, he didn’t know if he is lucky or unlucky. He is right now riding inside an enemy vehicle towards behind the enemy line with nothing but a first-aid kit and a game-purpose gun.
“Truly not my day….”
*SIGN*
“Well, let’s look what I could find in here..”
Vayne began looking to the cargos one by one. But in his luck, he found a handgun place on top of the cargo box, next to the place where he hide.
This time he could only say that he is lucky now he had something to use to defend himself, but it’s still not enough to kill a person.
Again he went to search inside the cargo box and again, he he found himself some mischievous fate or god. He found a box full of bullet of different sorts.
He began taking out the bullet from his magazine and replaced the to this bullets, the MBullet he took are place in a box that used to be where the bullet were placed.
He also took some boxes of bullet and placed them on the pack bag. While putting the bullet, he gazed at the time on his visor and were bit surprise to see that it’s already late at night and they still haven’t landed.
*SIGH*
“Why do this had to happen, did he knew that this might happen?”
After speaking out his mind, he went back what he was doing. After loading all his magazine, he then took a quick nap.

*CREAK*
*CREAK*
*SNAP*
“Tsk… No luck, we’re lock in tight.” «?»
“I told you, we could only wait for him..” «?»
“Why are you calm at the time like this?” «?»
“Well if it is like this, Vayne will save us.” «?»
Those three who are lock inside are the girls Vayne went after. Eliza is busy picklocking the door while Erica and Princess sat at the opposite side of the door.
“You sure had fate in him, after we saw him run away…” «Princess»
“”Is that what your really what he did?”” «Eliza & Erica»
“Eh?” «Princess»
Princess was surprised when the twins rebuke strongly from what she said,
it made her very confused why they defended him.
She know that he is just a person that he just met, but unlike them she knew none about him. She knew that the twins knew him from childhood, but their relationship is unlike any other family.
Before she could say anything, she they went first.
“Vayne is different from any other people you’ve might met.” «Eliza»
“He is always they if you need him, and ready to give a hand.” «Erica»
“And most of all…” «Eliza»
“‘And most of all’?” «Princess»
“”His the person we loved.”” «Eliza & Erica»
She was shock, Princess was very shock towards their confession. She could only think of them strange people, going by a blind eyes to what happened.
Though, no one could blame her. She never had a friendly chat with him, but somehow inside she could understand them and this makes her wonder why.
But she was forced to see the reality, what she saw was different from what the twins had described so she couldn’t swallow what the twin had said.
“Just wake up and face reality, he can’t help us in this situation. Vayne… he is just a student that good at tactics and weaponry, and nothing more! He is just a pervert and a coward, he didn’t even bother rescuing us back then.
And, let’s say if, even if he isn’t like what I expected. Then how could he help us? We were dragged and kidnapped by some unknown group with some heavily armed equipments.
Face the fact, we are here trapped while he is out there safe and sound. Instead of helping us, he run. He run just like a spineless co—” «Princess»
*SLAP*
Princess couldn’t finish her insult, he was slapped hard and loud. She was slapped very hard that she didn’t even felt any sting from her cheek, it somewhat stunned her and the numbed cheek began to fade away as pain replaced it.
The hand that just slapped her was traced back to the person who committed it, it was the girl in front of her who did it and soon notice tears climbing down from her cheeks then falls down.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
“….. stop… just stop… you… you don’t know anything about Vayne… you don’t know what he went through… you don’t know what sort of pain that he had to experience before he could stand again…” «Eliza»
Princess beginning to feel guilty from what all she just said and regretted it unable to take it back now, Erica stood up and walked to her twin to comfort her as she continued to cry.
“… This isn’t our first time getting kidnapped… In fact this is the third time we got kidnapped..” «Erica»
Like Erica had said, this is in fact the third times they were kidnapped. The twins had a very bad experiences of being kidnapped, behind their cheerful and playful personality had a painful history.
“Do she mean by that? And third time? This isn’t the first time?” «Princess»
Princess didn’t know that she is being insensitive right now and still tried to pursue what Eliza had meant of what she cried out, Erica is very mad for her insensitivity but still tried to remain her calmness.
As she see that Erica slowly regain her calmness, she also had realize that she was rude just now. Instead of apologizing, she rudely question them without even reading their situation or so.
“Sorry… I… I didn’t mean to be—” «Princess»
“No…. It’s alright, everyone is just stressed out… Let’s just, take a rest…” «Erica»
“… Sorry… I just—” «Princess»
“Please… Not now… Just… Please, maybe later, but not now..” «Erica»
“…. alright…” «Princess»

Three hours had pass since Vayne took a nap and woke up, he check the time and it is 02:47 then he opened up the hatch from where he came in from.
He saw an island which they are heading into, he couldn’t tell which country it belong but he could tell that this is just a hidden base with not so much forces dug into.
Judging from the surrounding, they just occupied this island not so long ago, so right now their priority is to hide and avoid detection or getting themselves notice.
Vayne also plan to do the same, he can’t afford to get detected by the enemy early. He made his first priority is to scout the surrounding and a multiple way of exfiltration.
When they close to the landing site, he went out and grabbed hold of the landing gear before he close the hatch and jumped off.
He dropped down above the dark roof the building, it was the highest building from the rest and no other form of way to get to him except the ladder.
He immediately gone prone on the edge and watched them from the building while they were thrown out the helo and into the back of the truck.
They were drove out from the landing pad and into the compound close to it. Then brought them inside the building, that when he loss sight of them.
The building weren’t very much heavily guarded, but the guard tower would pose a threat to him.
More importantly, what he need is a map where he is right now and information who this people are, why they kidnapped them and who gave the order.
*KA-CHACK*
He readied his rifle and run straight to the side of the building then jump off to the next building and then to the closes and highest tree he could reach.
He grabbed the branch and threw himself behind the bushes then rolled as he landed.
Making sure that no ones around, he began running through the building avoiding the spotlight and the line of sight of the patrol.
“Looks like you’re having fun down there.” «?»
“!!” «Vayne»
Right after he heard someone, Vayne immediately jumped to the ground and rolled to the side until he reached the bushes.
Just as he hid himself, he looked to his sonar and found no one near or close to him, except for the patrols bit further from him.
“Oya… Already forgot about me? So cruel…” «?»
Vayne became make more vigilant, and waited for the person to reveal himself to him. He readied both his gun and began turning his body from all directions.
“You know, it’s kinda rude to ignore me..” «?»
The voice became more clearer and somehow recognize whose voice it is, still he remain vigilant.
“…… Arsur?” «Vayne»
“TING TING TING!! Correct!! Arsur here, at your service. Because you guess right, you are give the right to ask three question.” «Arsur»
“Where are you? Show yourself!!” «Vayne»
“Sorry, don’t wanna… more like can’t do it… Well, let’s not mind that. To the last question.” «Arsur»
“Wait isn’t it should be two questions left?!” «Vayne»
“Oh, your right… Then to the final question!” «Arsur»
Vayne growl at Arsur’s mischievousness that made him loss his second chance, he began to breath in and out slowly to calm himself.
“Oh, already done… Che, you’re no fun…” «Arsur»
“Shut it… Here’s my question, are you a friend or enemy?” «Vayne»
“Good question… I’m—” «Arsur»
