SSHS 209 Once Hestia was at the edge of the alleyway to which she will pretend to have stumbled upon with Aaron; creating a perfect opportunity to talk to him and have him start a conversation with her. She just hopes that this will go without a hitch. Hestia waited a bit longer until she heard that familiar tapping of shoes unto the floor--- the familiar steps of a Basketball Star Player--- it is still baffling on how spies were able to differentiate the different steps of many people and then isolate just one. Nonetheless, Hestia inhaled and took a deep breath and readied herself for what she was about to do. Once Aaron was closer to her location, she immediately went out of the alleyway and pretended that she was talking to someone on her phone. She was busy arguing with someone that she did not notice the tall guy that was going her way. She bumped to a wall--- no, she bumped to Aaron and that sent the two stepping backwards and regaining their balances
SSHS 210 “I just know that you are up to something and it has something to do with Freya. I can offer my help to help you achieve whatever that or you can just help me, which ever way it is, this is a win- win situation.” Aaron leaned more in to the table and said those things in a serious and yet whisper like tone. His eyes were sharp and bearing of fear and bravery at the same time and the two rookie undercover spies do not know what to do of the situation. This is a complete turn of events--- a complete 180 degrees--- a major plot twist to the happenings and such an offer, is indeed tempting to take. However, precaution is a must, they may not know what lurks behind the offer of the Basketball Star Player and they are uncertain overall. Albert has to wave his hands in the air to make the Basketball Star Player to stop talking and let the two rookie undercover spy do some internatilization of the information they have just received. It was a total shock. “Hold on for a sec
SSHS 211 Albert and Hestia soon began their work. From the information that they have gathered from Aaron yesterday, it seemed that the villain of the story is Freya all along and they are being spun in her web the further that they entertain her requests and pleas for help. “I cannot believe we almost fell for that trap.” Albert grumbled under his breath as he arranged all of the cables, wires and gadgets that were scattered in his dorm room--- it became so cluttered that he could not see the floor anymore and the dorm lord ordered him to clean his stuff up or else he would throw it out himself. As of the moment, Hestia and Albert were talking through a phone call--- while Albert was cleaning his place, Hestia, on the other hand, was busy arranging her bulletin board that was hidden in her walls. Her usual bulletin board was not enough anymore, she needed a bigger one and fortunately, she has a couple of other bulletin boards stored in her closet t
SSHS 212 It was the darkest part of his life yet. And there is no way that he will be able to forget not even a single detail about that time, about that day… he can never forget. That is the only contribution that he can do in the name of forgiveness and retribution. It was all that he can muster at the moment as he is still being a coward of some of the things that he encounters in life. He might tremble at the face of a police officer or even flinch at the sudden wail of a siren whether far afar or nearby. No matter what, such fear creeps inside his veins continuously as he holds that secret deep within him and no one knows about it. No one must know about it or else it would be his doom. It would be his end. He would rather die than let anyone know about it, he would rather end his life than spill the beans about it. That is how determined he was in keeping it a secret. After all, it was a grave sin that he made in order to satisfy the desires and greed that he had accumulated
SSHS 213 It then became apparent to them how it would behard to convince Arthur to be on their side and to turn his back to Freya. Asidefrom the fact that they have yet to know what is Arthur’s secret and how darkis it that he was willing to be enslaved by the senior cheerleader. They haveasked Aaron about it but even he does not know such a thing about Arthur. As Aaronhave told to the two rookie undercover spies, “It is the subject that he doesnot want to talk about nor even touch. He was avoiding it and I only knew aboutthat--- that he has a dark secret because he slipped his tongue one time. And whenI really persuaded him to talk about it, he lashed out. After that, I neverasked about it again.” By how Aaron’s face became crestfallen after telling that, it is evident that he was traumatised by how the Computer Tech Boy lashed out on him. He was shocked that Arthur was capable of unleashing such an emotion. Well, who would not be? In any case, every person
SSHS 214 The two rookie undercover spies went on with their days about their clubs and classes. So far as they noticed, nothing has changed, from their observation of Freya’s and Arthur’s movements, they seemed to also be plotting something but they are also discreet about it that they were cautious with their movements. It was like they were aware that they were being watched. But then again, the same can be said to the two rookie undercover spies: they are also being watched. The two sides of the coin were watching each other, ready to strike once the other moved a different way or in a dubious way. At the end of that day’s classes, Hestia and Albert first went back to their dorms to get ready. They changed into their casual attire and went to meet each other at the main road of the school ground. They walked their way towards the gymnasium number one, just like what they talked about with Aaron on the phone that early morning. Once in front of the gym number one, they looked at
SSHS 215 After arriving at the front of the Café de Luna, the two rookie undercover spies were greeted with a warm smile by the receptionist. “Name of Reservation?” The receptionist asked as they were led inside the café. “Torento.” Was all that Albert said and the receptionist understood, that they are the guests of Aaron Wysickle Antonio Torento for the day. Although it was really them who made the reservation, they just useD Aaron’s surname as an identifier. As they walked deeper into the café, it was significant that the free space of the café--- to which some of the guests who prefer to dine in the café in an open space--- were vacant, there not a single customer on sight as they walked inside the café. “This way please.” The receptionist said as they were led into the elevator, then the receptionist pressed the button for the third floor. Once the elevator moved upwards, a mellow elevator music began playing as the three of them remained silent. Until A
SSHS 216The two rookie undercover spies were reluctant if they were going to share that piece of information to the Basketball Star Player. The need to know to know the answer to the question: who was the person behind the voice; was so intense and the fact that they are under the pressure of time right now is an added burden. "Nothing. We just needed to know." Hestia reasoned out as they arrived at the conclusion that it is better for the Basketball Star Player to not know that part of the story. It might endanger their identity as a spy in the end if they ever mentioned that part. Aaron also brushed off the topic and moved on with what they are talking next.
