Today.
"What do you mean, that's a difficult story?" Jordi snaps at Zack in irritation. Zack tries to explain it anyway. Because if they can get him and number 4 out of here... Then all the trouble would stop. All the fears they have ever had would disappear out of nowhere and reassure them. Zack tries to find the right words. He finds that extra difficult because he doesn't want to make enemies. Then he looks at the group: "It's a complicated story. Think, for example, of a colorful rat that starts spinning at twelve o'clock at night. That rat has 499 squares and in two seconds that rat tears to a square. That box is the power of 182." The group continues to look at Zack uncomfortably. He hasn't told us what he really thinks of 182 so that's already a lot! Zack feels a slight irritation coming on: "What I mean is that number 182 changes her power every day. That is her strength. Only two people have that power." "oh." says the group in unison. They come in a very long corridor. The number 10092 appears with a gold label first on the first white door. The further down the corridor, the lower the figures. Zack chats with Alice and Cato but Jordi keeps peeking at the doors. Where Daniel has gone no one knows either? What a creep! A little later number 263. 263, he thinks. Number 259. 259 he thinks. Then he realizes that he is almost at the door where he can spend hours, no. Been longing for it for two years!! Actually, all his life! 233, 233 he thinks. And with every door comes more and more tension! He sinks more and more into thoughts and then... 176… 167? 167?! Then he was too far. 163… He really had to put his feet firmly on the ground. He stops and the rest looks at him confused. "Toilet." Jordi lies and mumbles. "There are also bathrooms at the end of the corridor." Zack looks confused at Jordi. He really wants to help him! Jordi tries not to swear out loud. He had to come up with something else to be able to knock on that beautiful door. Jordi leaves for the dream door: "My coat." With the speed of his tone and the speed of his steps, he pays attention to the numbers. 189, 189. So that's too far. He scans the door numbers again. 182. He takes a breath and knocks on the door. The tension vibrates all over his body! He didn't know that was so exciting! Zack sighs and gets an angry but also a disappointed look. "Come." He mumbles. Then he has already lost a new friend because he prefers to hang out with a stranger. Cato and Alice look at each other doubtfully. They won't abandon their friend, will they?! Nevertheless... 182 is an unknown person and Jordi can change by being with number 182. They already know Zack. "I trust Zack more than sir, I want a girlfriend." Alice puts an arm around Zack. This will be a good friend of Alice. Cato smiles at Zack: "We're coming with you! Where do you want to go?" Zack quickly gets a broad grin. This feels so incredibly good!! Someone who finally doesn't choose number 182. The door opens very carefully slightly ajar. Jordi opens the door and stamps his feet on a small piece of paper that says: stamp feet. (For sand.) He looks around. "I don't date." Jordi looks around but sees no one. It is also so incredibly dark! All he hears is a soft but angry voice. That is his only sense that he still has control over. "I want to help you, I know a good pizza restaurant." Jordi has a tremor in his voice. "Tacos?" Asks the voice with a little more enthusiasm. "We can also get Tacos somewhere else." Jordi gets off the paper and sees that the paper tears in half. He is immediately startled: "Oh sorry. I really didn't want to break your door!" "Not... genuine... very! You handsome!" "Thank you." Jordi gets a warm feeling. "Light... you... Do. Must be on." Jordi follows the assignment of number 182. He searches in the dark for the light switch. Sliding his fingers over the wall. Then he feels a dial. "Is this the light thing?" He asks carefully. "Yes!" Jordi is shocked by the screams in his ear. Then a light starts to flicker on the ceiling. Jordi wants to turn where the light comes on. He first looks at the button but he doesn't hold a dial... But very thin fingers that slowly slide backwards. "Sweet." She sees 182 blushing in front of his face. "Do you have a different name?" Jordi looks at the prettiest girl he has ever seen. "Name? Is my name? 182!" She hesitates in her words. "That's a number, not a name." Jordi looks worried at number 182. "Oh, no name... idea?" "Then from now on you will be called Angel." Jordi blushes to 182. "Angel?" Engel wonders. "That's a different language that you don't understand. Dutch is much more difficult than English." Jordi looks at Engel playing with her fingers. He is concentrated on the little fingers that keep spinning. He would have loved to hold them. Then he thinks of something: "Do you have nail polish somewhere here?" "What is... thing?" Angel looks startled. "If I come across it, I explain it." Jordi is still focused on the moving fingers. Engel starts to focus on Jordi's height: "Do you have any friends?" "Yes, they are with Zack." Jordi blushes. Angel's face changes to disgust: "Poor 4." "Is it that bad?" Jordi wonders. Angel begins to tell, "Yesterday Zack cut hair 4. 4 short hair. Leader angry, on 4. But must be angry Zack. Zack done!" "Maybe Zack wanted to do well." Jordi tries to make something positive out of it, but the only thing he gets back is an angry look. Angel quickly shakes no. Jordi gets a bad feeling. Did he say something wrong? Zack knocks enthusiastically on the door of number 4. He opens the door carefully. "No!" Immediately get shouted. Zack carefully opens the door wider, he walks over to a boy with a crooked haircut. Dark brown curls that don't look good. The boy slowly moves into the corner. Zack walks closer to the boy and points to Cato and Alice. Then he taps his nose twice. "Code language?" Cato whispers in amazement. "No, this is how they communicate." Alice whispers back. The boys do some hand gestures and then the boy with the crooked haircut walks to Alice and Cato. He rolls up his right sleeve and taps the tattoo. It is a 4 in ornamental numbers. Then he taps his chest: "No 4. Yes Yowie. I Yowie." Alice then taps her chest: "I, Alice. You Yowie." Yowie nods quietly. "I'm Cato." Cato says the word 'be a little louder'. "Ben?!" Yowie looks startled. Zack walks over to Yowie and taps behind his ear and then at Cato. Then he taps his neck three more times. Yowie walks over to Cato and taps her cheek 4 times. "Thank you." Translates Zack. "Thank you." Yowie says doubtfully: "I am Yowie." "No problem." Cato nods. Then Yowie thinks back to tonight and that nasty shiver that runs over him.
"I have something." Alice walks to the small kitchen behind the large round table. "The plan is that we get out of here." Jordi plops down on the chair where a leg immediately breaks off: "WHAT!" "What?" Engel looks confused at Jordi. "Leave him alone." Cato whispers in an English ear. "Where is my sympathy?!" Jordi grabs an irritated chair where he just doesn't fall backwards. "Angry." Yowie chuckles. "Angry, yes." Jordi mumbles. Zack goes to Alice. He looks at the chocolate milk strangely: "why would you mix water, chocolate milk and salt?" "That's not human." Cato stands next to Zack. Alice fills the Stone toy mugs with chocolate milk, water and salt. She gives everyone a cup. "The cats on the mugs make me even angrier." Jordi sighs. Alice proudly stands on the table: "You call this 0% chocolate salt." Zack also takes Yowie's mug and slowly empties it into the planter. "Very tasty." He is lying. Because of those words, Engel takes a sip with conviction and spits it out on Jordi. "Let's focus on an escape plan." Jordi looks disappointed at his black Bleus and the golden buttons covered in gunk. "No plan, come." Yowie walks out the door. Cato is the last to go through the door: "It's really heavily guarded here." Yowie walks at a fast pace through all kinds of strange corridors. The group follows hesitantly, doubting and whispering. Eventually they stop at a door with a gold label. The gold label does not contain a number but a lightning bolt! "Guitar?" Yowie asks. Jordi strangles his way through Zack and Alice and opens the door with a loud bang. All luxury rock guitars set up. "Jackpot!" Jordi claps his hands with satisfaction. "Wow wow! You've never told me about playing the guitar." Cato looks super enthusiastic but also confused. "Like the best." Jordi chuckles. He takes a bright blue guitar with satisfaction. He runs his fingers over the strings and listens proudly to the sound. Zack presses a pastel green button and a large drum kit appears from the ground. "Now this is Jackpot." he chuckles. "I like you." Jordi says to Zack with his eyes still focused on the guitar. "Gone now." Yowie says hesitantly. Zack taps his ring finger with the drumsticks. Yowie shakes no. "Nope no songs playing." Zack says disappointedly. "Zack play badly." Angel whispers in Alice's ear. Alice nods with no idea what she means. Yowie hits his drum kit twice with Zack. Then he counts. One, two, three, four, five. Then eight times fast. Then he waits anxiously. Everyone is quiet but with no idea what he means. Then the drum set sinks meters underground and a dark elevator appears. He clicks on the red arrow button upwards. "Do they all fit in?" Engel asks. "I hope so." Alice chuckles and gets into the elevator. The elevator is larger inside but still cramped. Angel wants to put her arms somewhere and leans them against Jordi's belly. Jordi blushes and holds her arms tightly. Alice and Cato giggle at each other and Zack starts talking to them happily. Yowie sits down and then hears nasty shooting noises. He gets up and tries to make it quiet as quickly and as quickly as possible. Then Cato and Alice look at each other in fear. Zack gets tears in his eyes. Is he going to die? Is this the end? Engel fastens her hair with a rubber elastic. It's a sloppy tail but if she has to fight she's ready. She just has to wait a few more minutes then it is midnight. Then her power to see time changes to something useful. Jordi is not ready for any more fighting. He doesn't feel like it. One and a half minutes. That waiting should work. Only luck. 40 seconds of easy Engel thinks. Then they fall down hard out of nowhere. Breathing underwater... Engel had not hoped for that at all! Zack starts crying louder. Cato and Alice look at each other with a feeling of fear. Jordi only thinks of Engel! Engel! Yahoo? Survive! That is his goal! Then Engel is lucky! Because they fall into a kind of water. Is it the ocean? A large aquarium, river or lake? Zack is already getting water and Alice feels drowsy. Cato calmly closes her eyes to think about the right solution. Yowie tries to swim up and Jordi? He looks around anxiously with blurred vision. No trace of Engel. While he had promised himself so much to save her.
Money falls from the sky as a hazy shadow touches trees. For a long time a girl has been experimenting with colors. She touches a stone that changes color every time. She is looking at it with her mouth open. The boy stops running and runs out of money at ease. "Raf?" Sounds a girl. She sees a slimy trail and immediately knows what it means. There's a monster around here.
