“My head ached…….it ached so much as though, it would immediately pop off my neck. The wound on my right shoulder gave me pain till the back of my nape, up to my wind pipe it was getting hard to breathe due to it disturbing in the pipe. The pain blanked my thoughts from wandering why was this happening to me? The front point of the gun that pointed on my brow was hot like iron. Perhaps, due to the firing that took place few seconds ago. Due to it, my senses weren’t fading however one thing was for sure, I was getting tortured as a hostage for my friends. I was used to get the control of my buddies under the man named Sevin. There was nothing much except to hold myself from losing conscious…”
The three boys Jet, Jan and Jin were in caution watching Sevin’s trigger whether he would do it or no. But, the only question remained here was will they let their friend be sacrificed for the unknown company in return us letting them go?
Perhaps, if Joe got shoot, died at the spot then will the company simply let him go on their own, returning to their daily routines?
Was this possible?
What will happen next after the gun shot?
Should it be given a chance for it to be performed?
Was it sure for their freedom?
While thoughts and caution of moments ran on the two students head
THUMP!
A loud stamp on the table suddenly shock the let males around. Jin, Jan, Joe and Sevin all gazed out at the fifth boy who was standing with his palm on the table. “There is no need for second thoughts, fool” spoke up Jet as he glared. Not at Sevin or Joe but, at the gun that aimed between both the beings, “Since we are part of it. We must obey this WIC no matter the cost”. This surprised his friends.
“ARE YOU INSANE!!” yelled Jan in worries “you don’t even a have a slightest knowledge of the company! How could you join it?”.
As a reply, Jet picked up the box under his arms, turned to his pal, “we wouldn’t learn unless we target it in chronic”.
“Jet……” spoke Jin admitting the sentences and Jan with a nod.
“Wait for a minute. Please lower your gun from him” requested Jet in an amble, “I will change and return”.
Mister Sevin nodded letting him take a leave.
Upon lowering the weapon, Jet left in silence the class room into the nearby. Back in front of the desk, Jin rested his palm on his buddy’s shoulder calming him and said,
“For our friendship, let’s give out our best at this”.
On the other hand, Jan was frightened by the situation they got stuck in all of a sudden however, what choice they had.
The scene of the world was reflecting it’s true face on them.
A minute later, the class room door opened, there stood a young tall boy, not a student but a gentle bad well dressed in high suit. Colored all in black, this lad wore long coat hanging below knees, dark, wish on extra layer of coating pinned on his both waist by a white piece of jewel hanging over his lower back till the end of the first coat. The coat was closed with two pale color buttons under it designed at the end layer a grey lace, the vest designed in lining. He wore a white shirt and the neck had cravat around it. With black pant, and top black hat, white silk gloves and black shoes, this youth wore even small jewels of suits which were on his cuffs and silver chains by the side of the chest pocket till the shoulder. Holding the box in his palm, he walked in and stood in front of the desk saying,
“I am done”.
“You look great Jet” praised the teacher by looking at the new appearances of his so-called students..
“I don’t understand why I have to wear this. Whatever’s case it doesn’t matters me”.
“Humph” the man smiled at this and then turned to the other two asking who would go next!
“We both will take a permission to leave if it doesn’t annoys you” suggested Jin.
“Nothing cares as long as you all are obeying” smiled the man.
“Come along, Jan” walked away Jin taking his box along with him, Jan accompanied him out of the class room. Opposite to the exiting classroom at the right, both the friend Jin and Jan walked near the door.
“You should go in first Jan” suggested his fellow in return he would wait for him outside. Jan wasn’t happy, he lost his cheering expression because of been controlled. All he did was nod in silence and went inside.
Back in the room, there was pin drop silence. No one spoke, no breath or moved a muscle to take action. Jet stood in shut lips and eyes. Sevin was waiting by the table with his weapon on his palm and right next to him was the wounded boy Joe.
His pain reduced to aching however, the feeling of hot liquid soaking his clothes didn’t fade instead it decreased in volume. Feeling the heat of the liquid, sticking on his white fiber, the youth spoke inwards “My wounds haven’t stopped bleeding yet, thus the next person’s turn is mine. This isn’t right. Our little movements of disrespect is leading us to sever punishments. Kind of makes me wonder if this wound stains the new outfit, will there be a punishment for it too?” a smile stretched on his lips as he thought further “it will be a foolish act from the WIC..”.
When he smiled, Jet got his sight on him which referred him that his friend was in good condition.
Just then the door opened and the two were back from the changing. Both wore suits but, in different color.
Jin was in complete white suit with silver designing around his cuffs, collar of the coat and the end of the pant. He wore a complete suit, his coat length till his thigh as all buttoned up. White collar shirt visible with V neck buttoned till top. He wore a smart looking tie around his neck that hung inside the coat with a small jewel at the center of it. On his back, there fell a long cape clipped from his shoulders. Like Jet’s dressing, he wore pale white gloves, white shoes and a white top hat on his head. From a simple student he changed into a wise looking gentle lad.
Likewise he, Jan was dressed in blue suit with sky blue lining designed over his arm from the shoulder till the cuffs button, diamond design forming from the shoulders till the end of the coat in the sky blue color on both sides over his coat. His coat was till his waist just like any normal coat, at the back were two twin tails like a butler type suit. Similar to his two friends, he wore whitish blue gloves, dark blue shoes and a top hat on his head. He seemed decent than what he was and you could tell the incident around didn’t suit his position.
Both carried their boxes on their hands and walked to the table standing aside Jet.
Now then, it came to the boy on the seat, Sevin turned to him as Jet gazed up at him “Sir…” spoke up Jan.
“What is it?” asked the grumpy man.
“He’s injured and he wouldn’t be able to do it himself” said Jan worried for his friend “suggesting that maybe we should help him out?”
“Humph, like I care about him” insulted back the teacher. He turned to him in rage “you should get to join your friends. I don’t have time to wait for you to dress up. Hurry up in and get the instructions”.
“Alright” nodded Joe as he struggled with his left arm, hardly standing on his feet. Reeling from behind the grumpy man, he stood back his friends taking his box into his hand.
“Now listen up boys” explained Sevin “as a member of the WIC company, every employer are assigned with their personal requirements as long as they are alive. These are yours……..” he took out from under the table four different items, throwing them in front of the boys. The items were a nobleman’s stick, a pen, a card and an umbrella.
In detail of Sevin, these items were in other words weapons in order to survive the events in the WIC company. The items were distributed to the boys by informing their type.
The nobleman’s stick was a sniper given to Jet. The card was a short gun handed to Jin. The black pen was a pistol selected for Jan and last but not least, the umbrella was a rifle which was chose for Joe. All were gun type which was far ranged given to the candidates for carrying on.
The four boys silently obeyed the instructor “One more thing and the main item of all..” said Sevin while opening his table’s drawer.
The four lads were watching in silence as he scrambled his hand in the drawer and took out four files in different colors, reddish orange, black, white and blue.
“There are the colors of our suit” surprised Jin noticing that it really did match.
“Does it matter?” asked Sevin shutting the boy’s mouth. He gave him saying “from this file you will receive your missions, once you are done, sign it and post it in your personal Mail box”.
The four boys picked up the files according to their color. The files were clear new and had writing WIC written in francy writing.
“Listen well boy,” said Sevin as they looked up at him, “from the WIC everyone are called by their title like mine is a Reaper. Others are like doctor, sirs or anything else.”
“How will we know ours?” asked Joe.
“It’s informed me about you four to be called THE HATS due to your top hat on your heads.” replied Sevin adding to never forget your name. It could be called by your color suit to but you four are commonly known as THE HATS in our company, “One last arrangement..” leered the man while taking out a pouch from his coat, “Drink these liquid before get starts” He opened on the table the pouch taking out small glass bottles in them colorless liquid was floating.
The four boys looked up at the man who threated, “Drink it or die…”
