Chapter 23: Chapter 23

[TB]

I prepared and I talked to Hino. I get his point, in case what he said was just an introduction. I don't want to ask any more questions because later someone will hear more and his other plans will be ruined. “Hey, TB what are we going to do? Is there a party or what? Because fireworks bombs are only for occasional, aren't they? ” wondered its question.

“You have so many questions Hino! That's okay! Let's just get ready. It should explode in the sky at exactly 8:30 pm! ” I said cheerfully. I don't want him to be suspicious or even think.

Hino is trustworthy in case it's good to be careful and my boss and I know.

We have already released all the fireworks bombs. It's only ten pieces. Maybe that's enough for his plan to be held tonight at six o'clock in the evening and as far as I know, our dinner time is exactly 8:00 pm. Maybe I'll just adjust about 30 minutes for preparation so that while they ate they were surprised, surprised by the fun and nice foreworks. We have already stored the fireworks bombs. We put it first in a place that is easy to pick up and prepare. I also went back inside and prepared myself. I know a lot more will happen so you need to be prepared.

THE SURPRISES

[XIAN]

Thea and I both stopped when we heard an explosion. I looked at the clock and it was only 6:30 in the evening.

“Stay here, Thea. I'm just chin. I'll check what happened below! ” I said boldly.

“Yes brother! But please be careful? ” he said anxiously. I just nodded and left.

I was going down and I didn't see anything wrong or anything. So I went straight to the kitchen. I saw the maids making a fuss and even some gardeners and drivers were already here.

“I'm sorry sir. The gas tank exploded. But, it's okay, we didn't get hurt. ” someone says. I did see some scars and clutter on the floor.

"Good. Please be careful. Close it well so it won't happen again. ” I will explain.

He nodded and bowed and continued to apologize. "What happened? Are you guys okay?" Elle suddenly opened up.

“It's okay Ms. Sorry for the inconvenience. We have already cooked, ”said Shiela, one of the maids here.

“It's okay, it's important that no one hurt you. Did you cook a lot? ” Elle asked further.

“Only a few because it exploded suddenly. It's a good thing we didn't get hit. ” He would explain again.

“All right, when you're done there. Take a break and later I'll just deliver for more okay. I'll just fix that so it won't happen again, ”said Elle.

I saw a strange aura in him again. Her very responsible persona seems strange to the Elle I know. However, I was impressed. I just wonder what really happened and the gas tank exploded. “Elle? Can I go to the CCTV room? I'll just have a look, ”I said in surprise.

“Sure dude! Just join us. ” he replied. I felt nervous but I tried to put it aside and we went to the CCTV room together.

We were here in just a few minutes and I immediately saw my older brother who was busy with the repairs. "Brother, can I still play in the kitchen?" I wonder here.

"All right," he said and immediately complied with my request.

My eyes focused on the TV where the incident was being played out in the kitchen. I saw Shiela who had just finished cooking and then left for a while. And suddenly a man passed by. I zoomed in first and I couldn’t see the face because it was masked.

It's amazing who he is and how he got into the kitchen.

“Wait, who is the guard outside? How did that get in! ” annoyed I said. He just showed me the area on the outside. And then Elle's bodyguard left for a while.

However, no masked man passed by. So I wondered where would it go? Moreover, if he doesn't pass at the entrance, he knows a secret area.

“Hey brother, are you okay? I thought it was just an accident. Of course not. ”

"Do you have a secret area here, Elle?" I promise here. Instead of answering his question I asked as well.

“I don't know, brother. You can check so you know. ” its answer.

I first watched every tv with CCTV. In the kitchen, outside, in every bedroom, in the living room and in the garden. I don't know but I suddenly went down and looked around. I just went to the kitchen. There were no maids there and it was clean but I saw a letter that I knew was left by the masked man and also made an explosion. I turned myself around and saw a piece of paper under the table. I picked it up and saw it.

It reads “BE READY FOR THE BOMB! The time starts now! ”I was terrified and nervous. “Sh*ts! What a bomb! ” annoyed I said.

Elle also covered her mouth. He followed me and saw the paper I was holding. “Shiela! Call my bodyguards now! ” He shouted and Shiela called the bodyguards. I know this is just a threat but, we need to be ready. The bomb he says is not a good joke. What's also silly is that there are no clues as to where or where the band is. His 4 muscular bodyguards arrived and he talked to them to guard.

“Elle? I know we're not totally okay. But, you have to be careful, are we okay? Before dinner, we need to find the bomb first. I will ask Shawn and Vince.

And I hope you also have a few servants to search. ” I beg you here. “Sure! I call them. Call Shawn and Vince first, ”he said.

So I took action and went up to the 3rd floor where Thea and my best friend and I had a room. I knocked on their door. Until now they have not been able to leave. I was embarrassed but Shawn himself offered to stay here first. Then someone knocked on the door.

The door opened and Vince spat. “Oh, my brother Xian, Why? Besides, what was the explosion that took place? I'm sorry we didn't go down. My older brother and I talked, ”he promised.

“It was just a gas tank that exploded but it's okay. I really need you! ” I said quickly.

“Sure! We're down. I'll just call my brother. ” he answered.

I just nodded and went to Thea's room. When I opened the door he was sleeping soundly. I sat down first and hugged him.

We need to see the bomb right away. I don't want anything else to happen to him or them.

"Brother?"

I would have left in case I woke him up. “Youngest, are you just here? We're just going to take care of something okay? Don't you ever come out until I get there okay? ” I remind you.

"Yes, brother. I'm just here. Just be careful, huh? ” is the answer.

I messed up her hair and left I also said she should lock the door. Shawn and Vince came out just in time. “Dude? What is there? ” wondered its question.

“I will tell you later. Time is running. We have to find it first. ” I answer here.

We were going down and I first looked at my watch at 7:30 in the evening and we had to find it. I explained to them what happened first and they understood immediately. I also told them not to panic because that would not help us if they let their emotions control them.

“So, we don't even have clues to find where that is? The place is too big and later it's just a prank, ”Shawn told us.

I gave them the paper I had seen earlier. “That is proof that it is not a joke. I also saw the masked man on CCTV, I don't know who he is but I feel he is the instigator. ” I will explain to them. Shawn just nodded and Vince looked thoughtful.

“What if you still have clues? Maybe it was just in the kitchen, where you saw the paper. ”my suggestion. I am still confused but my guts tell me that there are clues there.

“So, it's not already 8 p.m. Let's go around first. You Vince here you are in the living room searching with a few maids. You Shawn, you're outside with a few bodyguards and I'm in the kitchen with Elle. ” my explanation. They nodded and we acted immediately.

“Elle, let's look here. You're there on the left I'm here on the right is that okay? ” I will ask.

"Yes, brother!" its answer.

"All right, let's get started," I promised.

I don't know why I felt weird right after we talked. There seems to be something because I shouldn’t be too confident. But, he is still my brother and I am his older brother. I put my thoughts aside and we looked for any kind of clues.

"Have you seen Elle yet?" I shouted here because I turned my back.

"No brother, maybe Brother Shawn and Vince saw something?"

They arrived just in time and before they could speak they were startled.

“... Hays! Vince saw nothing of us. We also went through the cases one by one. ” sad to say this. I was disappointed because we seemed to be looking for something uncertain. Suddenly we heard a loud bang from outside.

We got out at the same time and I also saw Thea there who was excited to watch the fireworks above.

“Look at that oh! They are all different colors! ” he said happily. I just raised an eyebrow and looked up at the sky. And I looked at my watch it was already 8:30 in the evening.

I don't know if I'll be annoyed or happy. fireworks bombs were what he was aiming for. Almost all of us were stunned by the sky because of its beauty. But, in my heart, what he did was foolish. I don't know if it's that or maybe there is more?

“Bro? Is that it? The weird thing about the bomb he says is, ”Shawn said.

He even smiled and anyone could be angry at the nonsense he did. It's already silly and silly. I don’t understand what’s happening too sequentially and quickly. All I know now is to be careful of what might happen next.

DINNER TIME

[VINCE]

We are currently in the dining area. After the fireworks, the meal is already ready as well. The scene earlier was very hungry. It seems like I just wanted to leave here because for a long time I was weirded out by what was happening. But I still remember her smile. It was a refreshing but strange smile I saw on Elle earlier. He was looking at the sky so maybe he just enjoyed the fireworks.

I would have hoped that you were still mine, but why and for what else?

I just really sighed and went back to reality, because in fact later I would be mistaken for crazy or really hungry.

“I'm sorry for what happened. I know we're tired so it's a recovery at least. Let's eat first, ”Elle promised.

“It's okay. It is important that we are safe. Just be really careful. ” the older brother added.

Suddenly, Xian spoke and instead of feeding us, we were really stunned and really listened carefully.

“It’s so weird. But, we should be aware of what is yet to happen. Let's eat first. Elle, tell your bodyguards to be really careful. We can't just be complacent. ” He explains. “Yes! I talked to them even the helpers. ” Elle replied. I just ate and let them talk. I have nothing to say and it's a pity the food is still so much. I also chose to keep quiet and eat and observe their words and actions.

But it would be better to eat if he offered it to me and we talked.
