SSHS 222 It took about a full five minutes before the younger Montague was able to calm down the older Montague. It was a very unusual event that it is the unharmed panicking more than the one who is kidnapped. "Are you calm now?" Excami asked, handing the bottle of water to her older brother, whom the latter grabbed in haste drank some more. Damian was clearly panting, catching his breath as he drank nore water, lubricating his throat. "Thanks. But are you sure you are okay? No injuries whatsoever?" Damian asked again, for the nth time as he checked Excami all over again. This time, Excami swatted his arms and groan in annoyance.
SSHS 223 Meanwhile, while the two siblings were nagging each other, some other people were on the other end of the gymnasium so as they could talk privately. They were whispering as quietly as possible, as they were advised by a certain someone to do so. After all, there are possibilities that the place is littered with listening bugs, maybe even cameras. “Please tell me what happened here?” Hestia asked in the most quiet voice as possible. She huddled in with the other three male students around her, not letting the conversation leak out even for just a word. Her grip on Arthur was still as tight as ever, not even giving him a chance to let go. “That, we also do not know.” The Basketball Star Player replied, a bit dejected that he has no answer for the female rookie undercover spy at all. They are as confused as her, not knowing what had happened to the younger Montague and how she ended up in that situation and place, as well as why the original plan for th
SSHS 224 If the Student Council Office is also tapped… then that means… “She heard us talking there.” Hestia was hit with realization and whispered in a slightly loud voice those words. Her hold against him loosened just a tad bit. But it was not enough to ever let Arthur completely free his hand from the grasps of the Student Council Secretary. Her eyes remained the same cold and sharp, but she turned to face Arthur as a way to confirm what she had said. As she faced him and saw him nod, the horror downed on her. “Yes, she heard all that I have said.” Arthur restated, making things clearer for them. “Was all of this part of her plan then?” Hest
Surely there is an explanation for this situation, for what he did. Sureky, Arthur can explain himself on why he did such great lengths from coming to dchool so early, kidnapping Excami and throwing her inside the storage room of the gymnasium where he was supposed to meeth Aaron and Albert, and then change clothes and meet Hestia in the Student Council--- stating that he wanted to join their side while fully knowing that the room was tapped by Freya; then pretended to not know anything about what happened to Excami up until this scene right now. The devices left by Freya was still there, but it was already disabled by Akbert and Hestia before everyone inside the room started to flood in, so there is no way Freya would be able to hear about this.
SSHS 226 The room as still silent as the stare off game started between Arthur and Damian. Damian’s eyes were furious and mad, glaring at the poor Arthur who was trying his best to escape the vision field of the Student Council President. But it was all for nothing as he cannot escape his gaze, all that he can do right now is to answer the question that was floating inside the room like a big elephant. “Answer me, why did you do that? Why did you do that to my sister?!” Damian screamed again, making almost everyone flinch at their spot--- with the exception of a few people. While all the other people were anticipating an answer from Arthur, he himself was having a dilemma inside his head as of the moment. He was having a debate inside his head and it was not sure who is winning. There are a lot of factors to be considered. One: he already has a record in the Guidance Office, to which is the ‘Blackmailing Incident’ and people has yet to change their point of view about him. Ma
SSHS 227 “I…” Arthur started but his voice faltered and became more silent the more that he dragged on to that syllable. Everyone was waiting for him to continue, to begin his sentence of answer, but he only dragged on more until the air left out of his lungs and he had to cut off that syllable. He looked around the room and saw that every pair of eyes were focused on him, still waiting for him to answer even though it is evident that they are near the end of their patience for him. Some were tapping their feet to the ground at a rapid pace, some were tapping their fingers against their other arm and some were tapping their finger to a surface close to them. They were waiting for him to speak. Arthur was unsure if he should continue or not. He did have some thoughts a while ago. And to ignore would just mean that he is ignoring all the time he thought those things--- kind of like throwing it all to the trash without any second thought and putting himself in the fire like it was fu
SSHS 228. Hestia wanted to run after Arthur in hopes to catch him and interrogate him herself, but the timing would not permit it as she as well as Damian and Excami were busy dealing with the Club President about some paper works. She could only rely on Albert and Aaron to do the job as they also bid farewell to the Student Council members. “We will be going then. Bye.” Albert said as he did a salute and walked out of the Student Council Office with Aaron following him from behind. After that, Hestia focused on the task at hand, the paper works of the Club President that are so dis- organised and lacking that it needs even some grammar checking that they find a lot. If this is a plot of the Senior Cheerleader, which is highly likely, then it is effective at best and was able to prevent the two rookie undercover spies from moving together. If this is pure chance the ‘curse that chance’, Hestia thought as she reviewed one last time the paper works on her hands,
SSHS 229 The instinct to instantly freeze in one spot was present in Hestia’s mind, there was that option but she chose not to, for doing so would mean to also alert the person that was watching her from somewhere around her. She tried to sneakily look around but not make it look like she was suspicious at all. ‘Maybe this is one of those like before? I already felt this before and I was only being watched through cameras and monitors. I could check for them while I am here. But I should let the feeling pass for a moment.’ Hestia thought to herself. And she waited for a while. After a few moments have passed, she made herself look busy with her tablet by making it look like she was doing some review or taking some extra notes. All the while, she sneaked in a communication with Albert through their own server. In Morse Code. She told him that she has been feeling like she was being watched as of the moment, and there is a great possibility that it was Freya.
