Hell Games
Arrived?
Jhon stared at the monitor screen in the control room with a stiff body and face. Henry stood at the side of the director with an equally strained mimic. Every now and then the IT scrolled the tablet screen looking for data that could petrify the field team. He also moved to the desk of the communications officer, asking for developments in the situation.
It has been more than three hours since the rescue team left. Already two uninhabited islands they sambangi and combed evenly. No gaps passed from the rescue team's sweep, but there was no sign of any hell game activity from the island they were on.
Enishi, can only sit on the sofa. His head felt unbearably throbbing. Thinking about the child alone puppet that is not clear how the fate now. Although the sofa he sat on looked comfortable, but the millionaire felt like sitting on coals. This is wrong, so wrong. This rescue operation didn't go as smoothly as they had planned.
One of the officers gave a code if there was incoming communication from the field team. Henry immediately gave the order to harden the sound.
“Second island, Empty. We are waiting for instructions!” the officer exclaimed in a loud voice, the sound of helicopter propellers echoed around him.
Jhon moved towards the communications officer and snatched the radio call.
“How much fuel are you guys?”
“Aquarter tank again, Director!”
“How far is the travel distance?”
“More less 100 kilometers, Director!”
“you return to base and refill fuel. New further search!”
“Ready!” the pilot gave command to a second helicopter to return to the base.
Jhon was still standing, even though his body was silent, but clearly his mind was in contact with all the information he had obtained.
“Henry, show inhabited island map!”
Getting instructions from the director, Henry immediately scrolled the tablet in his hand, before long three islands appeared on the monitor screen.
“Focus on two west side islands!”
Jhon's orders were immediately responded by Henry. The focus screen on two adjacent islands. A larger island with a smaller island on its side. On the beach side of the small island there is a lighthouse and a luxury villa not far from there.
Jhon observed the island carefully and then turned to General Nmbie.
“This island is inhabited?” John pointed to the small island.
“Di said inhabited, yes if the owner came there. It's a private island!”
“If this one?” John pointed to a larger island.
“The island is inhabited, there are approximately 200 KK of its inhabitants.”
“Hemm..,” Jhon walks around the room with both hands linked behind.
“If I were the owner of Hell Game, I would definitely choose an inconspicuous place.” Jhon muttered to himself. All the eyes in the room were on him.
John looked at Henry.
“How long does it take for troops to get to the base and refuel?”
“More 15 minutes, Sir.”
“After they arrive, immediately order down this island!”
***
It had been five hours the fifteen team walked down the hillside. The sun has been covered in black clouds since this morning. Plus walking among the tall, leafy trees, the atmosphere of midday is like dusk. The light is dim, making the trip this time not so smooth.
Rain spots began to drip from the clouds, passing through the foliage and greeting the human body that was walking under it. Ef immediately used the radio to stop the pace of Maya and Hamish who had walked in front, and invited Lin to catch up with them.
“It is difficult for us to walk to find a source of water, even the water that comes to us. Know this, it is better to wait in the cave only.”
“Can't you don't complain a day, puff!” Maya was always the first person to rebuke Hamish every time the man complained.
“I'm not complaining, it's a reality like that!” Hamish defended himself.
“My grandmother said first, if men and women often fight, it's signs of love.” Sentence Ef just now sahut by Maya and Hamish with the same ‘cuih’.
“Tuh right, you guys just spit really compact. The sign of soul mate” This time Lin joined in teasing them.
“Mom, it's getting good at flirting now. Just get more compact with Dad.” Hamish flirted back at Lin.
“I see, Lin also seems comfortable on call mom” Maya replied from the front.
“Tu right, you guys are also compact teasing me. It's not wrong you guys are a soul mate.” Lin won't lose. “Let me make a novel about the story of the two of you. Love from Hell Game!” Continue Lin again.
“Don't that mean your story with the captain!”
Lin turned his head towards Ef, and the captain only raised both eyebrows.
“It seems, You don't mind, Capt!”
“I can't mind being paired with a girl as beautiful as Lin”
Ef's words just made the red hue on Lin's face that was wet by the rain clearer.
Travel in the swift rain no longer feels tiring if in the content of joking. It is true said scientists, natural pain relief is a sense of carefree and happy. Mutual teasing and laughing together make them not feel if the backpack is getting heavier. Even when slipping because the slippery streets even make their laughter more explosive.
“We take shelter there!” Ef pointed to a niche under the cliff. And rushed in first to secure the area from possible venomous beasts.
The niche was not so big, just enough for the four of them to sit in an elongated row.
As has become a habit, their sitting position has never changed. Hamish always takes the earliest position, and d is followed by Maya who sits next to him. Lin will take up a position next to Maya and Ef will catch up at the very end.
The three members began to relax, leaning their bodies against the wall of the niche, Hamish as usual had already started unpacking backpacks to look for corned cans.
“Capt, no campfire?”
Ef, who was still monitoring the situation with binocullar, turned to Hamish.
“For what is this afternoon campfire like?”
“E..., I want to bake cornet.”
“Not long ago we had breakfast. You're hungry again?”
“Yes how to, Capt. My sheep are bigger than your hull.”
“The others are hungry?” Lin shook his head, Mayapun.
“Only you want to eat, just make your own campfire!” Eph again put the binocullar before his eyes and ignored Hamish who was still parsimonious.
“Come on Hamish, I'm covering you for a bonfire. Although I'm not sure the fire will be lit until the end of the world.” Maya again taunted the bully man in front of her. The desperate Hamish put the cornet back in the backpack.
“Ssttt!” Ef put a finger in front of his lips and made the three team members instantly speechless. Ef's head turned towards the top looking for the source of the foreign voice heard by him.
“You heard that, there was a helicopter sound!”
