Chapter 15: The Church
"You know, sometimes your mind breaks more than your heart and that's fucking awful"
"But the broken last piece isn't always lost but hidden somewhere, you just gotta find it" Ice smiled at Joe, as they were waiting for Juno near the bridge. Last night, they decided to go find the Foundation Magician's resident and secure all the clues and where the girls were being hidden so that they can inform the police afterwards
"It's funny how some words feels so deep yet just empty outside" Joe sadly smiled and looked at Ice, "It's always been this bad, I'm hopeless! Have you ever messaged someone, sending laughing emojis, while you're in your room crying your eyes out? That shit hurts so much!"
"Joe, forget about him! You don't know how much worthless he made you feel, you don't see you're losing yourself for someone who doesn't even deserve you"
"It's getting dark in this little heart of mine, doesn't even matter to me now" she smiled
"If it still makes you cry, then it matters" Ice said, holding her hands, coming near Joe. The noise in the street reduced by then as Joe stared into Ice's eyes with her dry tears. Ice clenched her hands and brought her face close to hers
Joe's pupils became large, "Ice, you—"
"Ah!" She smiled and left her hand, drawing back her feet, "Let's hang out every weekend, okay? The three of us! You don't need any bastard when you have us!"
"Hey Ice...do you, by chance li—"
"Sorry for the waiting!" Junk shouted, running towards them, "I'm not late, right? Really sorry, Kin just wanted to eat my marshmallow"
"You didn't flipped him over, did you?" Ice asked
"No...he did that—"
Ice laughed as they went inside the car, they were ready for their mission and was well prepared with wigs, makeups and the dresses.
"Eh, Joe, your eyes are red. Are you okay?" Juno asked
"Yeah..."
"She just wants to have fun with us" Ice exclaimed
"Sure! Let's do to the amusement park this coming Sunday!" Juno smiled as Ice started the car. Meanwhile, Joe and Juno wore the outfits like a nun.
"The wig wasn't necessary though" Joe asked
"Ehh, I thought we could wear that and click some really good pictures" Juno said
"Juno, we aren't going for a photoshoot"
"We aren't??!"
"....no" They finally reached there as Ice stopped the car in front of the church as three of them came out.
"This place looks dirty" Joe said
"It's because no on usually comes here anymore" Ice replied, "go inside, I'll wait here and see if I see anyone suspecious"
Juno and Joe nodded as they entered inside the church. It was still afternoon so the sun rays were coming through the ventilators. The benches were covered with spider webs and some of them are even broken. They went to the room which was on the right, attached to the main hall
"It's empty..."Juno said as she opened the door
"Can it be there's nothing in this church? And they actually have a secret hideout somewhere else?"
"I guess this is the exact thing the Foundation Magician have thought. Not to mention he is extremely sharp, I'm sure we'll find something here only" she said as they continued searching all the rooms.
After around 10 minutes they came to the main hall, finding nothing.
"I don't think we'll find anything here..." Joe said, as they heard the church's clock made a sound. It was showing 3 pm.
"A very old church...yet the clock is working? Don't you find it suspecious?" Juno asked as they heard another creaking sound. Both the girls ran towards a bench and hide themselves under it.
They saw the large table in the very front, under the statue of Jesus moved and a pretty lady came out from under the table, which seemed like a secret pathway. She was wearing a simple frock and her brown hair was curled. She looked at the clock and then continued to walk towards the door
"Shit! She is leaving! Ice is there!" Juno whispered to Joe as the lady stopped. She looked back, as her eyes moved from left to right as she then looked at the dusty floor with footprints and her lips formed a grin.
Nevertheless, she went out without investigating anything further as Juno and Joe sighed.
The lady came out of the church and saw Ice standing near the ocean bridge with her car, a bit far away so that there won't be any suspicion. Ice looked at her.
"Oh my, are you a student, dear?" The lady smiled, approaching towards her.
"Y-yeah"
"That's good, this place is really abandoned and quiet, a good place to meditate, isn't it?" The lady smiled, "I come here every week for prayers"
"That's really good! Nice to meet you!" Ice smiled back as the lady went away. Ice just stared at her and quickly clicked her picture from the back.
After few minutes, Juno and Joe came out running, "THAT LADY— She is the one!!"
"...she is the one for both of you? Tch, youngsters nowadays" Ice said, sarcastically
"Bruh...she literally is the Foundation Magician and came out from under the table! Did she see you?" Joe asked
"Yeah, I even got her picture. Let's go to the police station" they got in the car, hurriedly and toon the turn. It was like 3 minutes till the main road as Ice continued driving.
"This is kinda horrifying but it was easy, right?" Juno smiled
"YES! We solved another case!" They high-fived and laughed which Ice just smiled. She continued driving when a truck came in front of their car.
"AI! WATCH OUT!" Ice shouted as she was about to take another turn but it was too late as the truck hit their car, completely shattering it.
.
"It's saying her phone is switched off" Gili told and cut the call
"She is not even home!" Taisiya said, coming towards them
"Can it be she went to her friend's house? Or you guys just don't want me to meet her?" Kirill narrowed her eyes
"I would have done that if you were more good-looking than me but now I don't" Gili grinned as he received a punch.
"But Juno never switches off her phone...and she is not even home, something doesn't feel right" Taisiya muttered, ignoring the boys
"You're right, shall we call her brother?"
"I really think we should, it's already 9 pm, it's really scaring me" Gili said as Taisiya took out her phone to give a call to her brother but she suddenly remembered that she doesn't have his number
"Shit, I don't have his number!"
"God, what should we do now?"
"How about filing a complain?" Kirill suggested, "I think it's for the best"
"Uh should we? What if we are worrying for nothing when she is enjoying her ass off in some random dude's birthday party?" Taisiya asked
"There's no one's birthday in our class" Gili said, "and I don't think her phone would have been switched off if that's the case. Let's inform the police before it's too late"
They all nodded and quickly went to the police station, when they entered inside they saw Ice and Joe arguing with the police officer. They were totally messsed up with blood everywhere, you can say they were severely, very severely injured and somehow managing to stand there.
"Joe?! Ice?!" Taisiya shouted and rushed towards them, "what in the world happened?! And where's Juno?"
"J-Juno..." Joe cried,
"She is being kidnapped!"
