Getting A System In A Modern World

Chapter 239: Scared Alex

Inside the Janitor's closet, the three security guards and Alex could be seen hiding.

The security guards that ran with Alex was ordered by Luna to hide in the Janitor's closet and wait for her.

Few minutes later, the gunshots that echoed throughout the school stopped. The security guard was anxious when he noticed this.

He didn't know what the outcome was but he hoped that it was in their favor. He continued hiding with Alex, and few minutes later after the gunshots died down, the two guards joined them in hiding in the Janitor's closet.

For the security guard carrying Alex, making his way to the Janitor's closet while carrying Alex and protecting him wasn't easy.

It would be a lie to say that he or any of them were calm. They all had their hearts in their mouth throughout the whole encounter.

If it wasn't due to their years of experience at the job and the guide, and instructions being given to the by Luna, they knew that they would had been the one lying on the floor.

This incident made them realize just how amazing the functions of the seemingly regular-looking glasses they were wearing are.

They knew very well that it was the major reason why they are still alive. They didn't know how to express what they are feeling at the moment.

Should they be happy that they got to use something as cool as this or should they be worried about what the future holds for them?

They had mixed feelings about everything but deep down they knew what they wanted. Each of them hoped that after this incident comes to an end, they would continue to work for Silas and get to use more cool gadgets.

The truth is that they are tired of the boring and monotonous life and they want to something exciting to spice up their lives.

As the security guards thought of all this, they made sure to not let down their guard and remain cautious.

....

Alex was sitting in a corner of the Janitor's closet, feeling very scared and nervous. He still found everything that was going very hard to understand.

Why are the men with guns after him? Who is the person that wants to have a word with him? Was this related to his brother?

He had so many questions but no one to give him the answers. He knew that his brother was coming to save him but he didn't know when he was going to arrive.

He still felt a little bit safe due to the three security guards watching over him. He knew that they would do their best to protect him but he still didn't feel safe enough.

He remembered that his brother just went on a trip. To save him, Alex knew that Silas would have to cancel his trip and come back.

He knew that it would take him a while to come back but he really hope that his brother would come and save him fast.

Alex and the security guards were still hiding when they heard a voice broadcasted from the speaker in the hallway outside.

The security guards' eyes narrowed when they heard what the voice said. They knew that things were going to get very complicated very soon but they were helpless as there was nothing they could do about it.

They knew that they can't do as the voice says and bring Alex to him. Even if they survive this incident, they knew what their fates would be.

They also didn't want anyone to die. They knew that they were in a very helpless situation but they could only endure.

They were still thinking of how to maneuver the situation when the heard what the voice said next.

They couldn't help but clenched their fist in agitation. They knew exactly what the owner of the voice was trying to do.

He knew that everyone is scared of death. His first statement had already sentenced everyone to death.

The only way for them to escape their sentence is for the security guards to give up Alex. Something that is extremely impossible.

The next statement was to give them a chance to escape the sentence. If the security guards are unwilling to hand over Alex, then he would have other do it for him. It was as simple as that but it was extremely effective.

"That bastard is trying to force us out," One of the security guards said through clenched teeth.

He was feeling extremely angry and frustrated by the new development. He felt that thw reason why those people are after Alex was most likely due to the technology that his brother possesses or they are possibly rivals.

But that thought made him even more angry. He didn't understand why someone has to go after a kid due to the grievances he has with someone.

To him, it was something only a psycho would do and that person was definitely one.

The older security guards—the leader—sighed when he heard what his subordinate said. He knew that he was right and that the owner of the voice was trying to corner them in and force them out.

He wanted to do something but he was too powerless to do anything. He could only hope that Ms Luna would arrive fast and take care of the situation.

He didn't know how she was going to do it but he had an unshakable confidence in her.

Alex raised his head when he heard the voice being broadcasted from the speaker. A chill was sent down his spine when he heard that the owner of the voice would start killing people if the security guards doesn't give him up.

He clenched his fist in anger and fear when he thought of the possiblity of his newly made friends and his teachers dying.

He knew that the security guards were not going to give him up and this means that people were going to die because of him. Something that he doesn't want to happen again.

He has lost so much in life and he doesn't want to lose anymore. He would rather die than let anyone to die be because of him.

He looked at the smartwatch on his wrist and caressed it gently, and started speaking gently to it.

"Big brother. I don't know if you can hear this but if you can, I want you to know that I'm brave. People are going to die because of me but I don't want that to happen. I don't want to lose my friends and my teachers."

Alex's eyes were beginning to tear up and his eyes started getting moist. His throat felt like something was stuck in it as he did his best to hold back the tears that threatening to fall from his eyes.

"Please big brother, Alex is sacred. When are you coming?" Alex was unable to hold back his tears as they flowed freely down his cheeks.

"Hik... Big brother, please come fast before anyone dies. Please, I don't want anyone to die, big brother. Please come fast."
