Prodigies: The Dark Phantom

Episode 7

“What kind of mission?” asked by the third abductee.

Usman's eyes rolled to him, “Your lives” his eyebrows move up, “will be sacrifice, for a suicide bombing mission.” he rolled his eyes to other abductees.

After hearing those words, they all showed him an unwilling reactions.

“Usman, my family needs me. Please, take me back.” the first abductee begged him.

“What?” the third abductee was startled.

“Please Usman, we're all brothers. We should live in peace.” the second abductee begged him too.

“No, no I won't do that!.” the fourth abductee madly wobbled his head.

These four abductees has guts to speak up for their freedom, except the last abductee. His fiery eyes are just madly staring at Usman and he's breathing heavily through his nose.

Usman already knows that they will be unwilling to do what he wants, but his calm face still turned to frown in front of everyone.

He deeply took a sigh and his fingers began to crisscrossed, “You're all have been chosen by fate, and none of you can change its will.” he said in a broad voice, disrupting the abductees voices.

“Obey me!” he hardly said, “and you all will be rewarded in the afterlife.” and then turned to a calm tone of voice.

When he's done speaking, the fifth abductee suddenly smirks as his eyes change its direction from staring at him.

“What's funny?” Usman noticed it and wondered.

This man returned his eyes to Usman, “Chosen by fate?” he showed him a mocking face, “You're insane. We're not fools to believe your words.” he said and chuckles.

Usman chuckles and laughs because of his strong guts to disrespect him, before leaning again on the chair's backrest. His joined fingers was unbind too and layed his left arm on left armrest of the chair while the other arm is just laying on the table.

“You don't have a soul.” the fifth abductee said with the same mocking face.

(Heavy thud)

The right hand of Usman swayed up shortly, and a heavy kick suddenly landed at the back of the fifth abductee, causing his belly to heavily fall on the dusty ground. It was followed by a loud clicking of the rifle as the armed man pointed it down to him.

The heavy kick causes him to cough for a short time and it makes him feel more angered while his left cheek is laying on the dusty ground.

The other four abductees was startled, their attention to Usman was captured by the fifth abductee's situation, fearing that something merciless is about to happen.

On a plate, a roasted chicken leg can be seen having no bitten mark all over it. The right hand of Usman took it and threw it down closer to the fifth abductee's face, “Eat that. If you did, then I'll let you live to fulfill your mission.”

He lifted his head, layed his chin on the ground and stared his fiery eyes to Usman, “Do it, kill me. I rather die right now than obey your f*****g will.”

His strong guts makes Usman chuckles again while waiting for him to tell everything he wants.

“You're not gonna win this war.” the fifth abductee's last words.

Sighs, “Fine.” his eyebrows move up shortly, “If that's what you wanted.” he said and his right hand resting on the table swayed up again.

(Gunfires)

The armed man pulled the trigger causing the fifth abductee's nape to spread his blood on the dusty ground. It also causes an increase of fear to the remaining abductees who was startled by the merciless killing.

“Now.” he rolled his eyes to the remaining abductees and calls their attention, “Who wants to be the next?” he asked as his eyebrows move up again.

No words can be heard from them, they're just showing a frightened face and having a heavy breathing.

“You?,” his right hand's pointing finger began pointing out the abductees while its elbow is still layed on the table, “you?, or you, or... you?” then he smiled but in an insulting way.

(Alarm clock ringing)

Ringing above the cabinet, the digital type alarm clock began waking him up again when its longest hand stops at twelve.

(Tapped)

It was silenced when bumped by his left hand.

Vincent, sleeping on the bed does rolls himself to the left lazily until he falls to the ground.

(Thud)

“Ouch.” his belly is layed on the floor.

Few minutes later.

He quickly stood up, headed to the bathroom with a blanket hanging on his left shoulder. He took a bath, brushed his teeth, and went out with the same blanket wrap around his waist, showing his sexy body.

He opened the closet, took his preferred clothes among the rows of his clothes, and grabs his shoulder bag idling beneath those clothes.

He went out of his bedroom wearing a white long sleeves, a black slacks, and a shiny pair of black shoes.

He walked down the stairs, greeted his mom, take a breakfast, said goodbye his mom as he headed to the door, left the house and headed to the place where a crowd of passengers are standing under the waiting shed and some are blocking the lane of the wide road divided into three lanes.

Few minutes later, a passenger bus finally showed itself at the end of the road where everyone's eyes are staring.

(Passenger bus honks)

The passenger bus beeps for several times to warn those crowd for blocking its stopping point.

As the bus approaches, everyone began cracking their joints, necks, fingers, arms, legs and hips to prepare for a tough competition, including Vincent who's standing in front of the crowd.

(Engine Hissed)

The passenger bus stops in front of those crowd and opens its foldable double door to unload the passengers, and when the last person step out of the door, the competition has began.

Everyone aggressively charges towards the doorway while hardly pushing and bumping each other just to take the lead, but this time Vincent was stronger than others, he stretched out his muscles and bumps everyone away, he even grasps their hairs without being caught, causing his victims to start a fight with the ones behind them thinking that it was them who did it.
