The Bloody Reunion
Chapter 19

Helena wants to see the state of Nicholas who is still held captive in the warehouse, especially she knows Nicholas has not eaten and drank from morning, she is very unwilling to see Nicholas should be treated like that.

That's why you have to ask Chika for help to trick Bayu who was assigned by David to guard Nicholas and watch over Helena so as not to meet Nicholas.

"Come on Chik, I beg you!" Helena pleads with Chika to help her.

Chika instead teases Helena, "Why do I get suspicious huh, is it possible that the first love you often tell is Nicholas? Aye right?"

Helena's face looked red, she was misbehaved with the temptation that Chika had thrown at her. "It's not time to talk about that."

Chika even more wanted to tempt Helena because she saw Helena who looks wrong behavior so, "Hmm.. cie. cie. Where's David going, right?"

"They!" Helena did not want to talk about her past.

Chika was forced to say, "Hm yes. But the promise is just give food to Nickolas, don't let go. I don't want to be antagonized by everyone here."

Helena nodded her head.

"How should I do now?" chika asked her best friend.

"You talk to Bayu, talk whatever it is up to you, then I go into the warehouse to see Nicholas." Helena explained her plan to Chika.

Chika nodded her head, a sign that she approved of Helena's idea.

And the plan of the two women was immediately implemented as soon as possible, Chika also called Bayu, one of the Black-Hole members. "Wood!"

Bayu who was enjoying his cigarette, he did not immediately respond to Chika's words, the man dropped the cigarette butt on the floor and stepped on it until it was extinguished. He walked closer to Chika, so that it was a little distance away from the warehouse. "What's wrong? I'm looking after Nicholas."

"Nicholas will be bound by his feet and hands, will not be able to escape. I just want to talk about something with you." Chika also began to invite Bayu to talk, I don't know what he was talking about, the important thing is to trick Bayu.

Chika deliberately makes Bayu focus with her conversation and focus on her. Meanwhile, Helena walked so slowly, she had to go into the warehouse while carrying a pack of bread and also a bottle of mineral water for Nicholas.

...****************...

In the barn, Nicholas looks silent, his legs and hands are still tied to the rope, he has tried several times to open the rope, but the rope bond is very strong.

Nicholas never thought at all, he would experience something like this again, he still remembered very well, last time he was bullied by the members of Black-Hole, he was beaten all out by the five of them, he said, then he was stripped. Luckily, when Heru arrives, he's the only friend Nicholas has, he searches for anything that can cover Nicholas' body, after which he searches for clothes for Nicholas.

Flashback...

At that time Nicholas and Heru were sitting at the bus stop, Nicholas' face still looks a lot of bruises, so he attached ice blocks to his face to relieve pain.

"Are you sure you want out of school?" ask Nicholas.

Nicholas just nodded his head.

He patted Nicholas on the shoulder. "Hm yes already if that is your choice. I agree, you better find another school, I hope no one bullies you again."

"What about you? Aren't you very unschooled at Buana High School?" ask Nicholas to Heru.

Heru pretended to laugh. "How else, my family won't be able to send me to another school. SPP in Buana High School alone is still in arrears for six months. But I hope even if we don't have one more school, we can still be friends."

"Oh yeah, don't you want to say goodbye to Helena, instead of getting close enough?"

Nicholas just fell silent, he had no confidence at all every time with Helena, because he thought maybe Helena was close to him just for the sake of learning together. Because her and Helena's lives were very different, and their circle was very different.

Flashback...

"Nicholas!"

The voice of the call blew away Nicholas' daydream, he whose body was still feeling pain, gazing towards the person who was calling his name.

Nicholas could not believe what he saw, and Helena was standing in front of him.

Helena was deeply saddened to see Nicholas's appalling state, the Black-Hole members had beaten her so brutally. Until the woman's eyes look teary.

Helena immediately severed the rope that tied Nicholas's legs and hands with scissors. "I'm sorry, I can't get you out of here. Instead you should be here, we don't know what happened to the other alumni who were looking for Kevin, even though I wish they were okay. But at least with you staying here, everyone will know you're not the culprit."

"Why do you care about me?" asked Nicholas with a meaningful look.

Helena reluctantly answers questions from Nicholas, she gives Nicholas a packet of bread and a bottle of mineral water. "We do not know in the future what we will face, therefore we must have the energy to survive."

"Did Heru go exploring?" Nicholas was worried about his friend. He brought what Helena gave him.

Helena nodded her head.

Nicholas could only sigh, hoping that Heru would not be determined to attack David, or perhaps David would hurt Heru. Yesterday Heru told me that he had received unpleasant treatment from David even though he did not know what the cause was because Heru did not tell him in detail, Heru was not a cute man. That's why he was afraid something would happen to his friend.

"Who do you think did it?" ask Helena to Nickolas.

Nicholas thought for a moment, then answered a question from Helena. "He's a very clever guy, I can't really guess who that guy is, which I definitely feel like he's done something to Kevin."

"Is it possible that he has a grudge against a member of the Black-Hole genk?" ask Helena again.

"I don't know. From the way he's playing us, it doesn't seem like he's a random person, he's probably a psychopath."

Helena became goosebumps hearing Nicholas say, "Psychopath? There can't be a psychopath between us?"

"We've all been separated for seven or eight years, we don't know how that guy lived after he left school, in fact, we never check at all the background of the alumni whether one of us has a problem or not. A psychopath is very good at hiding his identity."

Helena fell silent, she became worried about her two best friends who participated in exploring the existence of Kevin. He hoped that Sisil, Hilda, and the other alumni could return in good condition.

"Today who's cooking for dinner?"

Helena did not understand why Nicholas asked about it. "Why are you asking that question?"

"Overnight we were all unconscious after dinner, it's possible that the person was in one of those who was cooking for dinner" Nicholas replied.

Helena was astonished to hear it, why she did not think of it at all.
