By M. Akmal Farhan N.

Jason is laying down to a tree, bleeding and taking a deep breath while he is trying to reload
his gun. After reloading he comes toward his enemy.
Person: there he is! *gun shoot*
Alarm rings, Jason is sitting and serve with his wife a cup of coffee for his morning, while he
enjoys his coffee the news report from the television.
News anchor: breaking news! Another victim of kidnaping, now is adding more than 22
women 9 found dead, local police officer here with us, officer?
Officer: as far as we know from the information we got, this is a human traffic we will do our
best for this, just don’t worry and leave this all to us.
Jason: I am getting worry about the environment today, we will move soon. I don’t believe
with these cops, no, I don’t want to believe them.
Jane: don’t put yourself into this babe, you better just think of me and don’t forget to work
you have meeting on 1 PM today.
Jason: almost forgot thanks for the reminder babe.
Jane: I’m going out soon, we run out of the milk, you coming?
Jason: no, there’s something I have to do.
Jane: oke then, see you in an hour babe.
Jason: take care babe.
Jason sees something is not right, his neighborhood seem so quite very different, unusual. He
goes to bedroom, checks his gun in drawer and stares at it somehow he falls asleep. He wakes
up, someone is screaming downstairs and suddenly silence. He takes his gun and slowly
checks the source of screaming. He finds a letter and Jane’s ring, he realizes that Jane was
kidnaped, he goes out and searching around but there is result. He is worry, feeling guilty,
regret and everything can see from his face. He goes inside and reads the letter.
“she is fine, will be fine if only you do whatever I said, never try to tell anyone about this or
you will see her in a coffin. Let’s play a game! Follow this coordinate, you will find a house
and future instruction. Remember don’t do anything stupid, I’m everywhere.”
Door rings, it is Copper.
Copper: hey man, what’s wrong? You look awful.
Jason: you want to know? This is dangerous.
Copper: we’ve been a friend for a long time, and I owe you one.
Jason’s feeling hesitate to tell but he needs a help, he tells Copper about everything even the
warning.
Jason: what you say? They might be kill you.
Copper: I will do my best, why don’t we call a police?
Jason: no, it is too risky.
Copper: and what can I do to help you then?
Jason: find where they keep my wife, those who kidnap my wife could be the same kidnaper
back these days.
Copper: fine I will visit every victim families and try to get information about it. So what will
you do now?
Jason: making a visit.
Jason goes to the house where the coordinate located. He enters, it is a house seems someone
is living there. he walks around and in the living room there is a table with a plate of meat, a
wine, a camera and a recorder, he sits and play the recorder.
Recorder: ah… finally you’ve come, I’ve been waiting for you. Here is our first game eat this
meat right in front of you, it is easy right? Ah… one more thing, that meat belongs to the
owner of this house, check the bathroom. Your time is 5 minutes to finish it. You have to eat
it! I’m watching you right now, don’t forget to pray first, enjoy it. *recorder stops*
Jason: this is crazy! This can’t be true, he is sick!
Jason checks the bathroom, a dead corpse, Jason feels sick, he cannot eat that meat especially
when he knew about that meat. Time passed by, there is nothing he can do except eat that
meat.
Jason: Jane, wait for me.
Jason eats that meat slowly, sometimes he wants to gag. Yet he still eating until it is half he
stops, there is a sentence below the meat “does it tasty? next quest is below this plate” he
checks and brings it out, outside the house he throws up everything that he ate before. He
reads the letter, “good job, now follow this coordinate, your next game is more challenging
than this one.”
Somewhere, Dane, the kidnaper boss, is laughing on the screen.
Dane: hey Frank, bring me Jasmin.
Frank: ok boss *heading to Jasmin* come, boss is getting bored, you have to make him
happy. *pulling Jasmin*
Jasmin: *trying to resist but get slap* *crying*
Dane: hey, hey, hey don’t get so rude, every inch of this women are priced. Come here.
Frank: *open Jasmin’s rope* make us satisfy!
Dane: who is boss here?!
Frank: I’m sorry boss, I got too excited, can’t wait for my turn.
Dane: leave us.
Frank leaves the room.
Dane: so, what do you feel? Are you tired? I can do some massage *laugh*
Jasmin: please don’t do anything, *crying* why this happened to me? Why did you do this to
me?
Dane: you know I have a collection, hair collection from every victim I’ve ever had, and
today it is your turn. Come here.
Jasmin: no, don’t touch me, please, please.
Dane suddenly grabs her and cut her hair. He smells it and he put it inside a box.
Dane: I have done with you, Frank!
Frank enters the room.
Dane: I have done with her, you can do anything but don’t hurt her.
Frank: so it is my turn already. *brings Jasmin outside*
Jasmin: no! don’t please.
Jason on the way to the next coordinate, he arrives, there is an old abandoned house. He goes
inside walks around making sure everything, he finds a table with sharp tools, a crowbar, a
bandage, a camera and a recorder. As before he plays the recorder.
Recorder: hey Jason, do you still remember how was the taste from the dead? I hope you
didn’t, now we move to the next game, this time there are many sharp tools, bandage and a
crowbar, I want to tell you as well that the stove is useable. Straight to the game, pick one of
the sharp tools and cut your ring finger, after that shows to camera and you will find the next
coordinate, your time is 5 minutes if you didn’t do it under 5 minutes your wife will took the
consequence, just cut your finger!
Jason silences for a while.
Jason: how can I do that?
He is moving around, his heart beat fast, he thinks there is no one in this world would cut
their fingers. He depresses, time is ticking, and he grabs the crowbar and bring it the stove,
turn it on and put the crowbar on it. He backs, sits and looks on the table, thinking which
should he use to cut down his finger, which one is the sharpest one so there is a less pain,
finally he takes a chopping knife. With a little courage, his face wet, and he chops his finger,
he screams, blood falls down on the floor, he runs to stove takes the hot crowbar and put it on
his chopped yet more scream, louder. The crowbar makes the bleeding stops after that he uses
bandage to cover up his hand. He goes back to camera and shows his finger to the camera,
and suddenly the front door is knock, he approaches the door and there is another letter, he
opens it.
“do you like it? That is what you get from eating a human flesh! Don’t worry your wife is
safe, this is the last game after you finishing this game you will see your wife back alive, this
is a simple task so don’t worry, just follow this coordinate, see you.”
Jason goes to the coordinate immediately, when he reaches there and enters, he sees a
woman, she is Jasmin, tied up on a chair while crying. Jason takes the note on the table and
reads it. “rip her chest and pull her heart out with this dull knife, your time is 5 minutes.”
Suddenly he silences, look at Jasmin.
Jason: no, not this one. She would hate me if I kill. No. no, no, no, no, no, no.
Jasmin: please don’t kill me. I still want to live
Jason: but if I didn’t kill her, I will never see my wife anymore *talk to himself*
Jason’s thinking for very long time, and the watch shows the time is almost over.
Jason: I’m sorry *takes his gun and shoots* *the camera was shot* I can’t do this I will find
you the other way. let me cut loose your rope *cut the rope* and you on your own, just run to
police station for your safety.
Jasmin: thank you so much, thank you. *she runs away*
Jason goes back to his house, when he arrives at his house, he receives an email, a picture,
when he opens it, it shows Copper dead body with a bullet right on the middle of his head and
a sentence “I told you already”
Jason: No! *he drops and cries, regrets with his decision*
Jason’s phone rings.
He picks it up.
Taylor: Jason it is me Taylor. Meet me at the hill right now.
Jason: I can’t I did something wrong. It is my fault
Taylor: no Jason no, I knew everything, Copper told me everything, he knew that he’ll be
dead soon that is why he needs my help, he gave me the location where your wife is hided,
just meet me at the hill now.
And Jason goes there. He sees Taylor and she is already waiting him there. They hug
Taylor: thank god you can make it, Copper said they are everywhere, your hand?
Jason: it is their game, so where is the location?
Taylor: here *giving a piece of paper* well take care, I hope you can save your wife Jason.
I’m leaving.
Jason: thank you so much, I won’t let you and Copper deeds waste, be careful.
And so when Taylor’s leaving, suddenly a gun fire, hits Taylor’s head. Jason sees and chases
the shooter, he shoots, more, and more they shoot each other. Finally, the shooter is down.
Jason gabs the almost dead shooter.
Jason: why?! Fuck you!
Luther: he.. he.. he.. haven’t boss told you already?
Jason: *on rage* *punching Luther*
Luther: there is nothing you can do anymore. o o our base is guarded you can’t never see
your wife again *bleeds out*

Luther: our boss knew about it he waits you there.
Jason: fuck you! *shoots*
Jason approaches to Taylor’s dead body.
Jason: I I I’m sorry… *cries*
Jason finally found the location of his wife, now he is heading to it, it is near with the forest.
He walks, go deeper, and deeper, a shoots through his ear, Jason hides, he sees the shooter
