“Isaac, are your friends ghosts?!” Patricia shrieked. Isaac, who was waiting for her to open the car door, turned to face her. “No need to insinuate.”
“B-But they’re gone, and no one is out here.” Patricia pointed toward the back seat. She was so horror-stricken that she was going weak at the knees, trembling all over.
It was only then that Isaac looked to the back of the car before checking outside. Just as Patricia had said, the guys were nowhere in sight.
He pulled the door handle upon that, but Patricia was standing right in front of the door, obstructing him from pushing it open.
“Open the door.”
Only then did Patricia pull the door open with trembling hands, asking Isaac with a quivering voice, “Are they really human?”
She had never encountered such an event. They were in the car a second ago, so how did they disappear just like this? What are they, if not ghosts? Monsters?!
After exiting the car, Isaac glanced inside the vehicle and around their surroundings to make sure these two b*stars weren’t hiding.
He frowned in response and turned to check where Nikola and Percy would’ve gotten out. At last, he immediately noticed something amiss right as he turned around.
As dim as the lighting was where they were, it wasn’t pitch black.
Thus, he turned on the flashlight in his phone. Instantly, a coverless sewage manhole showed itself.
Patricia saw it too. “Goodness, me. This is very hazardous.”
Isaac smirked, thinking this girl sure knew where to pull over.
“Go and move the car forward,” he ordered, to which she obliged in two shakes. By the time she came back out of the car, Percy had already climbed up.
However, the man reeked of sewage water, and Patricia involuntarily gagged upon approaching the two.
The smell was seriously horrible, and she didn’t manage to fight back the urge to gag.
After flinging the liquid off his hair, Percy sniggered and said, “Ise, your girlfriend sure can pick a spot. It’s f*cking disgusting down there. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a septic tank. Nik has already passed out from the smell.”
The guy was a doctor and had severe mysophobia. It’d be a miracle if he could still be conscious after falling into a septic tank.
Isaac asked for a rope from the security once they finally arrived. One of them rappelled down, tied Nikola up with the rope, and slowly pulled him up.
When they placed Nikola down on the road, Patricia saw that his entire body, including his face and hair, was covered in poop.
At that, her eyes widened in shock. Oh my… Thank heavens I didn’t fall down there, or I’d also be out cold while wishing I was dead!
Patricia shuffled to Isaac in apprehension. “Isaac, will he be alright? I didn’t mean it, I swear.”
The young woman shook her head with a face enveloped in horror.
This is probably her first time encountering something like this. Surely she’s horror-stricken when she’s faint-hearted in the first place.
With that, Isaac pulled her into his arms and patted her shoulder to comfort her. “Don’t worry. He’ll wake up soon enough. I’ll have my chauffeur send you home.”
Right on cue, Isaac’s chauffeur came out of the neighborhood, and Isaac escorted Patricia into the car in his arms.
“Go home. There’s no need to worry about any of this. They’re in more excellent shape than you think, and they’ll be fine.”
Patricia could no longer drive for the night, for she was gravely terror-stricken.
Why did something like this happen to me? This is way too scary. I have to check all around the car before I let the triplets out next time!
The kids would surely drown if they fell, and their bodies might not even be found!
…
Meanwhile, Isaac squatted down and checked Nikola’s nose and mouth. There’s no waste stuck in his mouth or nose; that means he won’t choke.
Just then, Nikola shot right up. “Ise, being your third wheel once is already enough to kill me!”
