Chapter 122: Crazy Little Plan
Last Updated:
2021-10-27 23:38:17What happened was very crucial because nobody, among all of the people passing back and forth to and from the entrance gate of the Hamlet Creek University, was able to spot us as we attempted to enter the hazardous and perhaps warning-driven front part of the area. None of the students, of the parents, and even of the three other guards who were assigned to guard the entrance gate was able to see us entered. We successfully overcame the overthought possibilities, both the good and the bad, without difficulty at all. All it took was just three minutes of creeping forward past the gigantic but dimmed gate of the university. Afterwards, we seek for hideout in the nearest hall--the Artists’ Hall, which by the way, was empty--and we hid it there. It did not took us long enough because on the seventh minute since we began our operation, the area cleared out for a moment. However, one thing I had noticed, we never saw any of my friends were fetched by their parents. That made me to c

It happened so fast. The next thing we knew, we were already out of the building, and we had successfully gotten the bloody butcher knife out of the secret place where I hid it without being caught by the police or by anyone from the Federation of Bureau of Investigation team. We successfully gotten ourselves out of the building, just like how we successfully gotten ourselves in. Everything worked according to how it was all planned. From the unexpected escape from the hospital, to the thrilling and action-packed tree to bush hopping just to get closer to the gate, to the brilliant execution of the bomb threat dummy, and finally, to the last blueprint of the plan. It was excellently done. All of it. And I now I could not help my self but think that me and my big brother could now call ourselves the next Hercule Exposito. Because for real, what we did were amazing. Every single one of it. They were all amazing.I wrapped the bloody butcher knife with my upp

What I did not clearly understand was, why would my big brother want my friends to go to our house right away? If the purpose really was to meet them and only that and nothing else, why did it had to be on our house and not anywhere else? I just could not deduce the possible answers and the longer I stayed and engaged my self in that one particular question, the harder it was for me to find a possible answer.Big brother tossed his phone back to where it came from--inside his vest. He then stared at me blankly before he decided it was now the best time to move in the car and settle ourselves so that we could now begin the trip going to our home. Just by simply looking at the mirror, I saw how his hands were delicate as they moved to lay its fingers on to the steering wheel. Without saying a word, my big brother starter the engine and began to turn the car so it would move out of its parking spot. As the car’s air conditioner began to send cool air that alm

Big brother tossed his phone back to where it came from--inside his vest. He then stared at me blankly before he decided it was now the best time to move in the car and settle ourselves so that we could now begin the trip going to our home. Just by simply looking at the mirror, I saw how his hands were delicate as they moved to lay its fingers on to the steering wheel. Without saying a word, my big brother starter the engine and began to turn the car so it would move out of its parking spot. As the car’s air conditioner began to send cool air that almost frosted the inside of the vehicle, I initiated a conversation just so the ambiance inside would never become awkward. “Uhm, big brother, may I know why you gave our address to my classmates? Why do you want them to come there and why now? Is there any other agenda that you have other than meeting them and ensuring that they are safe?” I asked, and those were three consecutive questions in one dialogue only. “

CHUCKNo one could ever begin to describe how happy all of us were the moment we saw Travis slid the mayor’s van’s door open. The way his face appeared out of nowhere, and the way his eyes reflected the dimming lights of the stars only reminded us of hope and nothing else anymore. It was very dramatic. Too much drama. Loaded with drama. But that was the kind of drama that I would not get tired of being involved into, and the kind of drama that no matter how many times it would happen to me (or to us), we would never get used to it. It was one of the best feeling in the world, perhaps after a long time. It was one of the moments worthy of reminiscing, one of the moments that deserved a milestone carved in our hearts. And his face, his innocent, bare, and clean face. A face that reminded us of a beautiful and well-cared sapphire, that you would surely offer your life in exchange of its safety. That was the face w

The inside light of the vehicle flickered, gradually becoming vivid as I opened my eyes carefully. I rose from laying on the backseat, and stretched my body. I looked outside of the window and I realized the trip was not yet over. We were still on the run going home, and my big brother was still taking control of the steering wheel. This was indeed a long, tiring, trip, but I never thought that it was going to cost me another half an hour of nap before we could surely reach home. “Are we not home yet?” I asked big brother, and the way he looked at me through the mirror up above his head was a little confusing. He was sweating, I noticed, although the air conditioner of the vehicle was twisted to its fullest. There were also fear and tremor in his eyes, and that was what I could not understand why and where did they come from. It took me another three more seconds to finally decide if whether or not should I ask him about it or should I jus ignore it like it was nothing s

PHILIP The hotness that the water from the jacuzzi offered was so satisfying enough to cleanse our body from stress and body pain that we all had got after a long, very tiring and exhausting day at the Hamlet Creek University. The infinity pool, as expected, was filled with brimming cold water, and the breeze it had was blown by the wind towards our direction, which offered us a great sensation of having both cool and warm temperatures at the same time. Nothing else would give us this chilling feeling other than this infinity pool itself.While all of us were in boxer shorts with half of our bodies were soaked to the warm water of the jacuzzi, Travis was looking like an unbothered king on the air bed floating in between the rest of us. A plain and simple white bath robe was wrapped around his body, as he laid himself down in an inclined manner, where in his left hand was holding a bottle of champaigne

RABIYAIt was already almost midnight when the dinner was served. We settled ourselves one by one onto the long (when I said long, I meant super long) table, where in on top of it laid the bountiful and stomach-churning menus of variety of foods. There was this famous toasted turkey, there was also some meatballs dipped into a sauce made of some spices and tomato ketchup, there was three different kinds of salads, and four different kinds of pasta. It was as if we were just eating in a catered restaurant, and the foods were surely way, way too much for us. As we sat ourselves onto the seats, we could not help but just be amazed and overwhelmed of what were laid on the table. That was why, while we were still waiting for Travis’ big brother to join with us in this late night supper, we decided to take a mini conversation and talk about how majestic this set up was and why did it have to be that way.

SAMANTHA Everything went so fast and abrupt since we decided to ditch the police and never show up in either of anyone’s houses. The best part was that, I felt what it was like being a villain. Yes, the way we moved, the way we established plans, and the way we executed them, it surely the same as how villains did their job on movies.By around this time, we were now inside our house. The black truck was parked outside the gate, as all of us entered inside to take a short break. While the rest were slouching on the sofa beds, I and my twin brother Vhynz searched the house to look for the map of the island where our slaughterhouse business was located. Well, the thing was, neither of us two was able to remember where we put that thing. All I could remember was the passcode of the safe where the credit cards and the money was left by our parents. When I checked it the moment we arrived, the map wa
The Photo Collector Chapter 150: Plans, We Need Plans
CHUCKLooking at Travis when he followed to cop to lead him to where our tents were located was already a pain in the eyes to me. I could sense the fear he was feeling from afar, and I could hear the loud drum rolls of his heart as he walked steps farther away that us. It was already given that if someone was here in this island with us, chances was that, he or should could have planted the evidences that linked to us inside one of those tents. There could be a slim possibility that we would be proven guilty. Every single one of us were drunk and wasted last night; it would have been a perfect opportunity for the killer to get our fingerprints or perhaps, to be more believable, tag the murder weapon in our hands right after killing Janvic with it. But until now, I still did not realize how Janvic was killed. There were bruises and stabbed wounds all over his body, but they were scattered. Was it a brutal way of slaughtering? Or

A not so long time had passed but still none of Noel Hummingbird’s so called disciples had went out of the cottage to give us at least the tiniest update they could provide regarding on how was the status of the conversation. It has been an hour already since the clash between Philip and the detective had happened, but still, here we were, pinned down to the ground just yet, feeling the intense numbing of our arms, and the pain on our necks as we contest on our nerves about who will stay longer in this position and who will remain surviving until the end of the investigation protocol. While we were trying our best not to collapse and get passed out on our spot where everyone of us friends were gathered, I decided maybe it was best if we had our own little chitchat just to shut down the dead air that had been wrapping and suffocating us. I initiated the conversation, and thank all the heavens above my classmates chimed in and made it as fluent as possible. “Are you still
The Photo Collector Chapter 148: Suspects
TRAVISWhen we heard the sirens wailed from afar, we already suspected that it was them already; Philip with the rest of our friends, and then the police car. Hearing them made us skip each of our things that we were doing and ran out of the cottage to meet them half way. There were some signs of relief in my heart, but at the same time I could not deny the fact that there were also nerves of nervousness trying to ruin the day. Obviously, none of us three who were left here in the cottage was the killer, and there supposedly have no reason for us to be feeling guilty. But why are we feeling the complete opposite? Why, while running going outside, are we feeling as if we wanted to hide something only to make sure that we could prove ourselves innocent? And lastly, why did I feel like here would go another round of spitting lies again, only to assure that this time, I, or neither of Rabiya and Chuck, would not be accused a killer?
The Photo Collector Chapter 147: All Are Shitty
RABIYA The amount of boxes for Travis to unpack was so overwhelming, just as overwhelming as the number of drawers I had check to make sure that not a single clue will be left unseen. Ever since we started doing what we were opt to do, we had not yet seen an evidence. Not one. Not even a little, slight, or discreet one. At this point of our semi investigation, I was now starting to think that what if there were really no clues hidden inside the cottage? What if we were just used to know that this was the usual routine every time there was a crime happening that it brought us to conclude that the same protocol should be implemented? I rested my face from frowning because of the unpleasant smell coming from the utensils that were long kept inside the drawers-- only God knew how long had they been there inside their cases. I moved three steps away from the kitchen cabinet, and then clapped the dusts off my hands. I then washed the

CHUCK After five minutes at most, Rabiya got out of the kitchen room with a serving platter and three cups of coffee. Just by the aroma of it, and just by seeing how the steam evaporated in the air sending thin clouds of visible smoke towards us, as if a hand trying to seduce us to drink it right away, I could already determine that the freshly brewed coffee were so satisfying. I jumped out of the sofa where I decided to sit for three minutes, and fetched Rabiya from the isle to get the cup she prepared for me. I determined it right away which cup was mine, because I was the only one who ordered my coffee to be black and pure. No sure, no creamer, no anything at all. “You better be sure this taste great,” I threatened Rabiya in a jokingly manner. She just gave me a good smirk, as if she was utterly confident that her brewed coffee would meet the standards of my peculiar taste buds. I then picked up another cup, the

It did not took us that long to finally accept the fact that now, starting from this moment, there will only be the three of us left here. I did not know how would I begin to internalize us, but every single time I would think about the isolation i give to our own selves, the first few things that wold cross my minds were death, conflicts, and again, another crime. Right now, just simply thinking about how big this place was for only the three of us who were left inside the beach resort, I was already defeated by the fact that we were completely overwhelmed. I did not know what was circling inside Travis’ mind at this exact moment, but there was only one thing I was sure: Whatever it was, it must be very, very complicated. I walked my feet away from the garage after the black truck Philip used to drive Janvic exited a couple of minutes ago. If not because of the wind which slapped me a cool hand on my face, never would I ever have awaken myself from that lucid daydream I had.

The Photo Collector Chapter 143: Delicately Dangerous
ANDREI Travis grouped us all into two, where each and every group had its own task to perform, all of which were very vital to the progress of our movement. The first group were merely composed of Geodie, Samantha, Cylvia, Yuri, Philip, and me. Based on the instructions of our acting leader who was Travis, we are going to be the group that will send Janvic to the nearest hospital and at the same time call the cops and bring them back here. Meanwhile, the other group which was composed of only Travis, Chuck, and Rabiya, they will be the ones that will remain here to check and investigate the place. When I asked Travis if the job was not too big for only the three of them to handle, he answered me firmly and confidently, ‘the lesser we are here, the easier the job will be.’ Well, that only made a lot of sense because it would be harder if there will be more people to stay here. The more the people will stay, the more
