After being caught by their teacher, Travis, the three; Samantha, Emily, and Kenneth had no idea how they were being forced to come along. It just happened that the three wanted to come along even though they had no intention to do so. Was it because they wanted some company? Was it because they wanted to spend the rest of the night having some fun like what Travis had said? Was it because they wanted to run away from their personal problems? Was it because they had been seeking someone to guide them at least for now? Or was it because they wanted to feel the life of having a parent, that would lead them, even if Travis was just their teacher? Even if it had just to be this moment? Either way, they hopped into Travis' limousine car (white in color this time) after the four of them had come out at the lone street near the almost-abandoned store where Kenneth had to receive his reward from his customers.
There was truly no reward. Kenneth had been deceived by those robbers he had come to help, and there was no share for him at all. They introduced themselves as they would really pay him in exchange for the mere instructions Kenneth would have to give. With their profiles, the way the customer spoke, and in addition to that phrase "The world is hungry for money, you know" from his recent customer, Kenneth took no suspicion about it since he was, as well, desperate to earn money. He also went as clumsy as he would never expect himself to be as he grew too humble and trustworthy of himself.
That store the customer had spoken about was to lure him— to make him get kidnapped by the mind masters or a.k.a the thieves of that group Kenneth had recently lent a hand, and then they would use him whatever it takes to continue accomplishing heinous exploits whether to torture him or play with him using threats.
Kenneth, nicknamed "King" in that dark site, was known as the manipulative tactician and was very famous for his rare skills. Although a lot of anonymous people on that site had also likable yet dangerous skills, King was the most approachable and the most known person on that site. That could be why a lot went jealous of him and his talents, and that could be also why a lot admired him. Kenneth was pretty obviously anonymous on that site, so if ever someone might have to track him or might get the chance to know about him in reality, he tried so hard to learn programming as well to prevent that from happening.
"Where the heck are you bringing us?" yelled Samantha after sitting inside the car, realizing she had to go home now. But Travis already locked the doors so there had no possibility for them to get out.
"I will sue you for kidnapping!" screamed Emily as well, although lower this time since she had just become sober. The three of them including Kenneth sat in the back seats and Kenneth was the only person away from them.
"Buckle up, dear students! We're off to—" Travis operated something on the car's glove compartment area, like it was a GPS he had just pressed, and then continued after done clicking," Here."
"Hey, can I go now?" protested Kenneth who was away himself in the backseat, "I still need to grab something at the convenience store!"
"No can do, darling," replied Travis, beaming as always. Kenneth then had considered that Travis wouldn't listen to him, and later on, he suddenly felt danger in his way of driving. Kenneth then was about to wear a seatbelt, but since he had just realized it was a limousine car they were in, Kenneth panicked. There had no seatbelts in there.
"Stay there the three of you, and we will enjoy our first date!"
And then Travis dashed the car like it wasn't a big deal. The three; Samantha, Emily, and Kenneth, went all sideways left to right and vice versa like some people who had experienced misery on a spinning ride in an amusement park.
A few minutes later, Emily, who was now on the verge of puking, had her held tightly with both her hands as she was feeling unwell due to the speed of the car, and on top of that, she drank a lot of wine at the club the reason why she had felt dizziness and uneasiness like this. As for Samantha, she was a carsick person. Riding a car like this with a cheetah speed for the first time in her life had her head spinning like she had gone insane. Kenneth, on the other hand, just did nothing other than find some vacant space and tighten and secured objects to hold into to avoid being shaken and bounced by the car. Travis was just having fun with all those harsh driving techniques he had. He had thought that this could make them fully awake and start to enjoy the rest of the night.
Upon arriving, Travis first parked the car beside the gutter, parallel to the sidewalk, and instantly turned off the engine to get off in the car. But before he did that, the first one to get out among the four of them was Emily. She restlessly ran towards the nearest large trash container, opened it, and hardly vomited there as if her eyes were about to gouge out because of the too much force she had to do to let it all out. Samantha then came the second. She went outside the car tripping and stumbling around as if some drunkard bastard, her hair was beyond messy and she could barely walk on the right path because of the feeling she had irritatedly felt in her whirling head. Kenneth then went out the third among the three. His eyes were in circles and were glued to the ground, walking slowly but edgy while feeling his trembling knees and arms. Before he knew it, he had dropped himself onto the ground and had knelt as if wanting to lie down there. He was highly strung, tense, and felt febrile in all of his quivering body. The three of them then had the same thoughts, "I would never ride this car ever again."
After turning off the car, Travis excitedly went outside the car and firstly fixed his blazer in his formal uniform and then next his hair by brushing them off with his fingertips. He happily stepped forward at the sidewalk, outside their destination, and then he put both his hands on his waist, gazing at the sign above the place they had stopped, and was glad that they had come safe and sound, although not for his students as they all felt unusual and strange.
"Here we are!" cheerfully expressed Travis, "Beautiful, magnificent Royalty Grill Hub!"
