153 Time To Move Out: Part 32 (1/2)

Friday, 23th of May 2021. Student Council Room. 1100 Hours. Nathan and Laura.

In the student council room, the two of them met Brendon again. Brendon had called them multiple times due to the whole class absence during the school festival. Nathan didn't come since his argument remains. He still thought that the school festival was just a tradition from the school, not a regulation. He had no responsibility to come to that event since it didn't affect their grades either.

”No, I don't want to pay 100$ just for the sake of not entering,” Nathan protested.

”That's the consequences, Nathan,” Brendon said.

Any people would have known that two of them weren't in a good position to argue. The room was filled with sicarios that could kill them in any way they could imagine. Brendon wouldn't be standing down either since he had his sicario team in that room.

”No, I won't pay for it. End of the story.” Nathan stood up from the chair and he immediately left the council room. Laura followed him from behind. The member of the student council didn't like the idea of Nathan leaving without any warning.

”That's it, I'm done with you. Get ready for the consequences,” Brendon said.

Nathan just smirked at him. ”So what?” He walked outside of that room and Laura glared at one of the bodyguards inside that room. Laura's face had reddened, getting out of that place was a wise decision since Laura could start another rampage if they stayed there.

They walked back to their classroom. Inside of that classroom, there were only a few people remain. Lynn and Patrick were playing chest while Alex was busy coding on his laptop.

”Check,” Patrick moved his horse.

Lynn moved her king and Patrick did a move that was unexpected. He beat Lynn in that game of chess. ”You should have known that's a decoy, hahaha.”

”Whatever, I owe you a cup of coffee right?” Lynn asked.

”Well, let's go to the grocery store. You'll appreciate that decision,” Patrick said.

Nathan approached Alex and saw many dots, periods, and all other things that he didn't understand. He knew that Alex made a program to hack something, but he still had no idea about the purpose of that program since he hadn't told the function.

Lynn packed her bag and Nathan approached Patrick. He asked Patrick about the results of his small-time operation with Lynn. Patrick must have gathered a lot of things with her.

”Yeah, it's on my laptop. Do you want to see it?” Patrick opened his bag again and grabbed his laptop. He turned on the laptop and opened a PowerPoint presentation. It was a very good presentation with many pictures of Brendon and the other council members. They were gathering in an abandoned building beside a dead body.

”Hmm, we'll strike them down soon. When do you want it?” Patrick asked.

”I see. I'll make a strike plan. By the way, can we leave now?” Patrick asked. Lynn had already been waiting in the door of that classroom.

Nathan nodded and Patrick put his laptop back inside of his bag. He walked to Lynn and both of them left the classroom.

As they were walking in the hallway, Lynn asked Patrick something. It was a question about Clara.

”Clara has changed, hasn't she?” Lynn asked.

”Yeah, she's more cheerful and less eerie nowadays. Money could buy her happiness, my decision wasn't wrong after all,” Patrick said.

They walked to the gate of the school. The street in front of the school was almost empty from vehicles. There was almost no vehicle on the street of the capital nowadays. It was mainly due to the fact that the capital was always attacked by the rebels nowadays. The massive protest was no more since the military had put the protest down by force.

The outskirts of the capital were still empty from a building. The only thing that could be seen were an empty lot and grass field as far as the eyes could see. The grocery store wasn't that far from that school. It was located in a small residential area near the school itself.

They had arrived at the grocery store. They entered the store. A lot of items were sold there. Lynn brought instant food that could be cooked in the microwave inside that grocery store while Patrick bought a can of cold coffee and a cup of instant noodles.

They went to the cashier and paid for that food. There was a table and chairs inside that grocery store. They decided to eat inside that grocery store. Patrick poured hot water into the instant noodles and he sat down on a chair. Lynn put the frozen meal inside the microwave and she waited in front of the microwave.

Patrick opened his laptop and checked for an e-mail. Marinka had another job for him and it was an easy job. They only had to rescue a VIP from the capital. It was an easy job and both of them planned to do it after they had eaten their lunch.

Lynn went back from heating up the frozen food. She sat down in front of Patrick and opened the packaging. The frozen food was a meat stew, but the meat tasted like a cardboard box.
