Intertwine (Strings of Fate) Chap. 61

"That's good news, but what is there plan?"

"I don't know what they're planning but something's not right here in the first place."

"You think so too?"

"I'm positive."

(Silver's POV) 

I called Jiro's phone when Ken's been away to see if everybody is alright.

"Hello, Silver, what wrong?"

"I, uh, nothing, I thought something bad happen to you. Are you alright?" He gives a chuckle a bit.

"I know you're worried about me, but I'm pretty sure I'm fine, just---."

"Just what?" I cut him off.

"Just missing you, I guess." I heave in relief of exasperation.

"I missed you too, Jiro."

"Oh, baby I missed you more. I want you here with me, please." I drew another sigh again.

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute."

"Okay, I love you."

"I know." After the conversation in the phone, I went out and went to the meeting place where Jiro and I decided to meet up. I saw him first leaning the wall, I halt my car and dash out of the car to meet him.

"Jiro!" I yelped and he turns to look at me. He grasps my hand and give me a tight hug before kissing me.

"What's wrong? You look so worried, did something happen?" I compose myself to calm because even though I saw him alright, the words Yokoshida said was still in the back of my head.

"No, everything's fine." I lied.

"So? Let's go?"

"Oh yes." Minutes have passed, I forgot to inform Ken about the situation.

"Jiro, I have to call Ken a bit, he didn't know where I was."

"Now? I'm getting jealous." I give him a light punch in his arm.

"Stop joking around, I'll be back in a minute." I distance myself to Jiro and tried to call Ken, he took three rings to answer.

"Hello?" Ken answered.

"Ken! They're lying, nobody's captive."

"That's good news, but what is there plan?"

"I don't know what they're planning but something's not right here in the first place."

"You think so too?"

"I'm positive." I hang up the call and went to where Jiro is, when I didn't saw him there. I dash to the place where we were the last but only his phone is in there.

"Oh no, they didn't...Oh God, no!" I hysterically said. They couldn't have abduct Jiro in a crowded place. But there is still a chance. But why didn't we fight? Was he threaten? Oh shit, they can't be serious. What I'm gonna do? In the middle of my melodrama Jiro's phone rings. I nervously answer it.

"H-Hello?"

"We've got your boyfriend---."

"Yokoshida, you bastard!" He gives a creepy laughter that brought up raising tension and anger to me.

"Calm down, he's not dead, yet. So I want you to come, with the key, Silver, and I promise not even a scratch to him."

"In your dreams Yokoshida, I won't ever give you the key, you bastard!"

"Then say goodbye to your dearest boyfriend."

"Don't ever lay a finger on him or I will kill you all you bastards!" I screamed.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just doing my job." The thought of Insignia hurting him hurts me more. More physical. More emotional. Tears are verge in my eyes, almost visible.

"You won't get what you want." Together with the first drop of the rain, is the first drop of a helpless tear in my eyes. Whenever it rains, it feels like something was getting away from me. And I hate it. I was mad, very mad of myself. Letting my emotions get better of me. Don't I deserve to get happy? At least just a little time? But, this is the time that I get my revenge. I was train for this, I learn to dirtied my hand just for this. 

"Ken, where are you?"

"I'm at the hotel, Silver. Where are you? Is there something wrong?"

"No, Ken, I mean there is. The Insignia abduct Jiro."

"They what? I thought they---."

"I'm with Jiro a while ago, but when I called you, they used the time, to get away with him. And after that, Yokoshida called me through Jiro's phone."

"So, you agreed to them in the deal?"

"Of course, I won't give them the key that father protect with his life not in a million years."

"But how about him, Silver? You will abandon him?"

"No, I can't do that. I owe Jiro a lot, and besides he saves my life."

"Good, so what's your plan?"

I talk with Ken about our plan to rescue Jiro. With the power of Insignia, we can't take them down with just a little experience. So drew the plan in an absolute perfection that nothing can be done in wrong move. After a few hours, we embark in our operation.

"Are you sure you want to do this, Silver? We're not sure if we can comeback alive after this, you know."

"Don't think about that for now, Ken. As long as they don't get the key in their hands and give their promise an assurance. I promise, we will come back alive from the deeps of the hell." For the first time in the anxiety hours, Ken gives a cheerful laugh.

"Haha, you shouldn't be joking right now, Silver. But it's okay, I will protect you." He reaches for my hand and squeezes it firmly, as if not letting me go.

"I know, you've done a lot for my sake and I haven't get even to your help, so I'm the one do the protecting." Smile form in my pale face even though my whole body is trembling.

"Okay, I won't argue with you for now. But I want you to promise me, no matter what happens, stay alive okay?"

"Okay, I will, for you, for them, for my family and for Jiro." He held tightly my hand.

"So, are you ready now?"

"Yes, let's get with it, shall we?"
