Grand plan

I kept thinking about last night. Did the killer see me when I was on the window? Is Samantha safe? Just when I thought my situation couldn't get any worse. I can't help but to eavesdrop on what the girls from another school were talking about.

"Jelline, have you heard about the rumors about syndicates abducting students?"

"No, since when did the abduction start?"

"I don't know yet, but be careful when walking alone at night."

"You too."

Syndicates? A serial killer and now syndicates? What is with this city.

I gotta tell Samantha about this because this might be related to the killer after us watch holders.

This morning I saw the girls who were bullying Samantha passing by her and the didn't do anything, just a look of hatred. I decided not to talk to her yet.

And the school bell rang and another class begins. For me math is the most boring class because it's the first thing we take in the morning. So I usually fall asleep and today wasn't any different. When I wake up I saw Vin,

He was about to do something crazy again that will get him in trouble and would probably cause him a heavy consequence. Well not that it matters because time check, I only have 1,363 hours left. Maybe the encounter with the killer affected the timer. I knew he was related to this "Death" timer.

I don't know why else would my time get extra hours. Now I know how I can prevent the timer. I wanna know if the time can go down too. I'm lost in thought and ideas just keeps flooding my brain. I wonder if Samantha's time went down. And if there other people near us so we can help each other.

Then before I knew it it was lunch, but I was conscious enough to take notes without listening. I went to the school Canteen and Kazuto, a transfer student this year wasn't in his usual table along with his friends. And he always attends school wether it be an illness or a dead relative. This is odd.

But I approached Samantha

"How much do you have left?"

"$13 and a quarter"

"That's very funny you should be a comedian"

"your supposed to laugh"

"Never mind, that how long do you still have left?"

"1,413 hours."

"Mine went from 1,360 to 1,365 this morning."

"Was that supposed to happen?"

"I don't know maybe the encounter with the killer affected my time."

The next class is starting so we decided to talk in another time.

"I'll go to the science class who let's kids Disect dead animals."

"Atleast it was entertaining enough to keep you awake unlike math."

I went to the Spanish class. Learning a language for a year, 60 minutes a day can take alot of energy out of you.

I'm so tired for today so I took a nap at the library.

And I woke up just 4 minutes after the dismissal time. I saw Samantha at the Gates of the school. Just when I was about to talk to her. A mysterious vehicle stopped in front of Samantha

It's a Gray Toyota hiace Van. The guys who we're on the front said yelled

"Get her!"

They quickly snatched Samantha away but I tried to chase them but all I got is they're plate number

"82FO76X" I went back to the library and researched the seating capacity of a Toyota hiace Van can fit. I know this is a weird thing to do after witnessing a horrific kidnapping but trust me on this. A maximum 15 capacity can fit in by deducting Samantha there can only be a maximum of 14 capacity.

And there's the driver, The shotcaller on the front seat, Two guys who snatched Samantha, and probably 2-3 inside of the van. They wouldn't go around kidnapping people if there aren't enough space. So they probably reserved spaces for the future victims.

Based on the number of them, 6-7 Kidnappers. They probably took 2-4 victims. I'll find Samantha what ever it takes. I only have 1,359 hours to do so. I decided not go to school tommorow but instead let my self be kidnapped. I went home and packed up A knife strapped below my knee, and a small blade on my shoe, And I inputed a tracking device on my bracelet. And went back to sleep.

Today is the day. I ate my breakfast and took a bath. After I'm done with double checking the things I'm gonna first I left the tracking device at my house and Reported to the authorities.

"Sir, I'm a witness to a kidnapping yesterday."

"I'm gonna need a proper statement on that and please wait on the interrogation room."

I headed to the interrogation room that he pointed at.

It was the longest 15 minutes I have ever waited through.

At last am investigator has come to hear my statement.

"At want time did the kidnapping happened"

"around 4pm"

"How many we're the perpetrators?"

"there were 6-7 of them."

"Do you know how many were taken?"

"I've only seen one of them get taken, but with my deduction, there were probably 2-4 victims."

"You got skills kid, tell me all about the vehicle they used."

"A gray Toyota hiace Van the plate number is 82FO76X."

"you even managed to get the full plate number, you want to be an investigator when you grow up? We could use someone like you."

"Sir with all due respect this is an interrogation not a recruitment program."

"Smart kid You are Huh? Well don't get yourself kidnapped."

That is what I plan to do.

"One more thing, there will be another kidnapping."

The Investigator looked very disturbed.

"How do you know that?"

"Here's the tracking device if this moved inhumanly fast then that means a kidnapping has taken place, if that were to happen please wait until the Device has stopped moving. Please send everything you have here to that location."

The detective seemed to know what I was about to do. And I know he can see the determination in my eyes.

"Very well, we will provide all the support we can and please, don't get yourself killed."

He actually allowed me to get kidnapped. This man knows how take risks he and I are very alike. And with that I went home. I took the device and put it on my bracelet again and I went to the Zeevo road and took a walking trip. I looked at my watch and I only have 1,336 hours left.

A van pulled over took me. But I was even more surprised when they took me inside the vehicle. And I saw someone familiar.

"Vin?"
