BXBX NOVEL Chapter 152
B suddenly grinned as he pulled Malachi into a hug. “Yes!” he shouted, as he pulled back from Malachi and placed his hand on his shoulder. Was Malachi his son or something, the man was way too happy to see him or something, or maybe it was just how he was acting in general. “Come on inside, I will explain everything.”
We all walked inside and after we closed the door behind us-I was surprised by the fact that the door didn’t open back up. “We can actually activate the signal from our tech room. But being you guys are allies with us, I’d perhaps let you guys in this visitor center for the night. It has beds, tables, food and everything. You guys should do just fine in here,” he said, grinning widely at us as we walked past the reception desk with our guards and Tisiah following behind us.
We followed B into the visitor center which was basically a place where people came to visit. No one was in there right now, which was maybe the reason why he allowed us to stay there for the night. “Hey,” he called out loudly to someone as we passed by a couple of empty desks, “I’ve got some guests staying over.” A woman’s voice replied from upstairs somewhere.
“Alright, well I guess this is where we’re staying for now I guess,” I said.
I saw on a red sofa that was about two feet from me, where Nikki and Malachi were sitting together on a couch, with Tisiah lying on a different sofa a few feet away from them. “I’m gonna go get some food,” Nikki said before she got up and walked off towards the kitchen area.
“Get us some too,” Malachi said, waving at her and laughing as she left.
I looked up from my seat, where I was looking down at the ground, when I saw B sitting beside me. “Hey,” he said, and my heart jumped for a second, but then it slowed down when I saw that he was smiling at me. “So, you’re in good hands here,” he said.
“What?” I asked him, not quite sure what he meant by that statement.
.....
“We have guards surrounding this entire base, in fact we got a bunch of cameras on those little signs that are across the street,” he said, pointing at some cameras above us. “But I mean you guys are really important here at this base.”
I just nodded my head in agreement.
“Oh, but what were you doing in the middle of the woods?” he asked. I wasn’t sure how to exactly explain that, so I just shook my head. “Okay then,” he said with a smile. He then looked up as he saw Nikki walk into the room with some food in her hands.
“Oh,” Nikki said with a bit of surprise after seeing B in front of her. “Do you have some sort of an idea why you guys were in the middle of the woods?”
“Well, we were first trying to convince the father of the CEO of JSA-” B’s eyes suddenly lowered in worry-“that his grandson was going to get kidnapped by the BMO for a new weapon. But being the punk he is, he didn’t listen, so now when Masaru Kin is about to enter the airport, many are gonna die in kidnapping this one child,” Nikki said.
“Plus we tried to find a signal to return back to Mr. Drails before we got attacked by them,” I said, pointing at Malachi and Tisiah who were still lying down on their couches as they were snoring.
“But now we’re trying to get back to our base so we can return back home,” I added quickly. “That’s why we need you to restore back the signal.”
“Okay, no need to worry, I’ll try and find a way to postpone the flight,” he said, placing his hands on his legs as he leaned back. “It shouldn’t take too long though.”
“I hope so,” Nikki said before she walked over to us. “The signal should be restored soon, in about thirty minutes, then you guys can go. Tell him you successfully did your mission, but you technically did,” B said.
“Thank you,” September thanked, giving him a big smile. “Thank you so much!”
B waved her off and got up from his chair before walking over towards Nikki and me. He held out his hand to shake our hand. “It’s all in stopping all of the MSTO,” he said. “All of them.”

Soon enough thirty minutes passed, as B rushed inside of the room. “Good news, being the block was very weak, it took about thirty minutes, as I said, to restore back the signal. You guys can go back to the YMPA now.”
“Thank you,” September said, getting out her radio, as she turned to Tisiah and Malachi. “Come on guys! We got to get back now!”
Tisiah groaned loudly before he sat up, rubbing his eyes. “Are there unicorns?” he asked. Confusion was written all over September’s face, before she got out her radio and gave him a stern glare. “I’ll make sure that he doesn’t say anything like that anymore.”
“Let’s hope so,” Nikki said, taking out her radio. “Mr. Drails...yeah, our mission has ended, we’re ready to go.”
Soon enough, a portal opened up in front of Nikki. “Alright, see you later B!” I shouted, waving at the Japanese man who waved at me before he left us.
I turned to the others before we walked through the portal. “Okay, so we got to the YMPA and now we have to tell him about everything we’ve just done,” I said. “Hope we didn’t do anything wrong.”
We walked through, immediately walking into that room again, where Mr. Drails was standing. “Hello, agents!” he celebrated, clapping his hands together as he stood in front of us. “You made it back! Did you find out anything?”
“No...” I started to say, but I stopped myself when I saw a bit of anger in Mr. Drails’ eyes. “Joking!” I returned.
I don’t think that was a good joke, I thought to myself as I glanced back at September. She shook her head with a worried expression. “Alright where’s Masaru Kin?” he asked. September sighed, “The grandfather didn’t believe us so we couldn’t really-you know -get him. But then the BMO cut off the signal.”
“The BMO was there?” he asked with worry.
“Yes, and they seemed to know we were there. So when we booked a hotel to hopefully find a signal, we were attacked but luckily the CSMO drivers are very e-”
“The CSMO we’re there?”
“Yes,” September responded. “They were there. So, then we went to the JSA so they could override the barricade and return back the signal. And while doing so, we told Boliwa Base or something about what happened, and he was able to extend the flight. It would give us more time now.”
“Alright that’s good, but one question,” Mr. Drails said before clearing his throat. “Was Maddie Cone there when you guys were attacked?”
Silence took over the room for a second, before September answered, “Yes.” He nodded, his lips trembling in anger. “That’s it. She knew you were there, so she blocked off the signal so that no one would be able to help you, while she put you into the dirt,” he said. “Maddie Cone is smart, not gonna lie.”
“But we’re smarter-I hope,” Tisiah shrugged, holding his hands up in front of him as if he was trying to reassure himself that he didn’t do anything wrong.
Mr. Drails sighed and placed his hands on his head before turning around to look at us all. “Okay, rest and we’ll see what to do. Good job on surviving, I’ll tell you what to do next later,” he said.
