[Good grief. I hope they’ll at least pay for the repairs of the Lexus.]

Hiroki pushed the 2 giant foreigners into the again seat of the automobile, earlier than stepping on the gasoline pedal once more to return to his workplace.

It was the midnight and there was hardly anybody on the workplace aside from the safety guards, so Hiroki was in a position to get to the corporate car parking zone with out being seen.

[Hmmm…… I wonder what I should do with these guys…… I don’t wanna leave them here in the car, but I also don’t want the employees to ask many questions.]

Hiroki folded his arms for just a few moments, then realized that he had one thing appropriate in his firm.

[Speaking of which, if I stuff them in those, that could work.]

The factor Hiroki had in thoughts was additionally simply the correct measurement.

Thereupon, Hiroki carried two open-topped oil drums from the warehouse on his shoulders, dragged the lads out of the automobile one after the other, earlier than shoving them right into a drum.

He already is aware of the blind spots on the car parking zone surveillance cameras.

It was a little bit of a battle for Hiroki as a result of these guys are slightly giant, however happily, they didn’t utter a grievance, most likely as a result of they have been handed out.

[Ah, they’re probably gonna suffocate if I just leave it as is.]

As he was about to place the lid on the drum, Hiroki realized this.

The drums he used to stuff these males in have been designed to seal liquid waste, so that they have been hermetic.

[But it would be troubling if the lid comes off…… In that case…… There, a hole for them to breathe in……]

Since he doesn’t have any instruments at hand, Hiroki had no alternative however to make use of his fingernails, which have been rising longer and longer these days, to poke a gap within the lid of the drum can.

The identical factor was repeated twice on the lid of the opposite drum.

[Then, putting the lid back on and giving it a squeeze……]

When Hiroki squeezed and deformed the drum and its lid, the drum let loose a metallic scream.

Upon doing this, the lid ought to now not come off.

[And with this…… There, that should do it.]

Hiroki carried the drums containing the 2 kidnappers on each shoulders once more, heading for his non-public place within the firm the place he may quietly speak with them.

Clang!

The sound of metallic crashing towards concrete resounded, and the simultaneous impression on his physique woke the person up.

Nonetheless, it was darkish.

He tried staring into the faint gentle, however all he may see, together with his physique bent, was his personal stomach.

He finds it arduous to breathe.

Inside that state of affairs, his first thought was questioning if he was buried alive.

He had as soon as been buried by an avalanche within the snowy mountains throughout unit coaching.

He couldn’t transfer his physique in any respect, and needed to wait to be rescued in the identical powerful place as he’s now.

It was a hellish time.

Happily, he was nonetheless in a position to transfer his palms in the meanwhile.

Slowly and thoroughly, he touched the wall round him and felt a easy, chilly contact, like plastic or metallic.

What on the earth is going on?

Ought to he name out for assist?

Such ideas pop into his thoughts, however his eager senses are telling him that some terrifying presence is close by.

If he shouted, he may appeal to the eye of “no matter that’s”.

As he has been skilled to do in his unit, he breathes quietly and slowly.

Relax…… Relax..…. Breathe in…… Breathe out…… Slowly…… Slowly……

Nonetheless, whilst he lastly calms his thoughts like this, his tentative stability is damaged by a sudden cry that rises close by.

[Uwaaahhh! Let me out! Let me outta here! What the f*ck is this place!!!? Let me out!!!]

[John!!!]

That was his accomplice’s shout.

Bang, bang!

A hand putting arduous metallic resounded.

[D*mn it!!! I’ll be right there! Ggghhh!!! What the hell is this!!!?]

Adam additionally smacked the metallic round him together with his palms and kicked at it together with his ft in an try to rescue his accomplice, however he was unable to exert any drive because of his powerful posture.

[Zeeehh…… Haahhh…… Tsk…… Haahhh……]

After 30 seconds of struggling, he felt suffocated and had to surrender the thought of escaping on his personal.

John additionally appeared to be in the identical state of affairs, as he had finally quieted down.

There, Adam lastly realized that he and his accomplice had been caught by their goal.

★　★　★　★　★

Hiroki carried the drum containing the 2 males into his nap room arrange beside the opening.

On this room, he may go away them there with out being disturbed.

To start with, Ishida and Hiroki have been the one ones who may enter the room the place the opening is, because it’s surrounded by concrete partitions and had triple authentications wanted to realize entry, and for the reason that nap room was Hiroki’s non-public house, there was no want for him to fret about anybody else coming in.

It wouldn’t be unnatural to enter a waste disposal facility carrying drums, and nobody would query the contents of these drums he was carrying on his shoulders.

[Now then, what should I do with these?]

The contents of the 2 drums have been merely definitely worth the restore value of the automobile he had rented, however Hiroki wished to have a bit chat with the one that had tried to kidnap him.

Although he says that, Hiroki isn’t good with languages.

The radio operator man he talked to may converse Japanese, however the shouts he heard from the drums seemed like English.

He couldn’t name an worker to translate both……

[……Would a translation app do the trick?]

He began up a translation app on his cellphone.

[Travel…… Business…… This isn’t it…… Education, I guess?]

There isn’t any “To have dialog with somebody who kidnapped you” choice within the menu, so he simply gave up and requested a query among the many common pattern sentences.

“Who’re you?”

The app’s synthesized voice echoed unexpectedly loudly off the arduous ground and ceiling of the nap room.

After 30 seconds or so, he heard a reply in English.

「Simply get the fuck out of right here and allow us to go!

I’ll fucking kill you!

Get us out of right here! You sadistic bastard! 

Our individuals shall be right here quickly. 

And then you definately’ll be minced meat! You hear me?」

It appeared like English may get by them.

[……I don’t understand.]

Nonetheless, Hiroki couldn’t perceive what he was saying as a result of he was speaking too quick and his tone was disorderly.

He may barely make out the phrases “kill” and “fuck”.

“I’m sorry. Please converse extra slowly.”

This time, solely sluggish however loud cursing got here again.

Nonetheless, Hiroki solely considered their phrases as superb. He discovered it amusing how individuals truly say phrases like “fuck” and “son of a bitch”.

Hiroki is a bit impressed upon listening to cussing phrases that he had solely heard in Hollywood motion pictures.

Even then, he can’t speak with them in the event that they’re that temperamental.

It looks like he might have to alter the route of the query a bit.

“Please reply the query.”

“You appear a bit shaky. Are you alright?”

Because the synthesized voice mentioned this, Hiroki lifted one of many drums and shook it for about 30 seconds.

As a further service, he additionally gave it an superior aerial twirl.

[Up we go, and another one we go. How about that?]

As he continued on to shake the opposite drum, he heard no extra cursing.

“Are you feeling alright?”

“Please inform me your identify.”

After some time, a low voice telling “My mates name me J” and “Ace” got here again.

“I perceive. Let’s be mates.”

Hiroki felt a small sense of satisfaction that he had efficiently established communication with them.

He puzzled what they might speak about subsequent. They appear to know quite a bit about weapons, so Hiroki thinks of asking them what the identify of the gun he took away is.

As such ideas popped into his thoughts, Hiroki felt like he heard a small sobbing sound from contained in the drum.
