Seventeen: Twelve's a Number Case

Third Person's POV

In a forest near the highway of Dinalupihan, the night is so quiet that you cannot even say that there are bunch of college students who are silently crying out of pain.

Inside that nipa hut, those girls are wincing in pain brought by their kidnapper.

They were tortured and tied up. Two of them already lost consciousness.

"Natutulog naman siya. We can atleast do something to get out of this place." One of them said in a low voice.

"How? We got no cellphones. We are tied up here." Another one replied.

"I have a keypad cellphone. But do you think you can grab it from by undies?" Abby said. All the girl's faces lightened just hearing that little hope from their schoolmate.

A girl who is just behind her made some stunts to get the beep. With all their groaning painful body, they helped each other and made it. They've got the cellphone.

Suddenly, the girl made a low thug noise from her foot when she grabbed it. Everyone got nervous, thinking that the kidnapper might wake up. They loosened up when they realized that 'that person' is still sleeping.

Using her feet, she typed 77776667777 and sent it on the first contact in Abby's phone. After that, she kicked the cellphone into the burning furnace.

The girls sighed and prayed that they can get help from someone.

New Teacher's POV

We are now inside our faculty room. We are waiting for the secretary.

"Na'san na yung secretary ba? Ang tagal naman?" Burn asked.

"Just wait. We need her in our plan, right English Teacher?" My roommate concluded. The other just nod his head.

After a little while, our door opened.

"I am sorry. Did you wait long?" Secretary said.

"Yes. Please sit down." English Teacher said without any filters in his mouth.

"So what's the plan?" The secretary asked when she sat down.

"First is we are going to trace all those students' families. We will asked about their belongings or other suspicious thing that happened. Then, from those we can find their location as of the moment. After that, save the children from armed bad guys and boom. Done." He said.

Kung magsalita ito ay parang ang dali ng mga sinabi niya. Asan yung plano dun? It doesn't seem feasible.

"So? Ano ngang gagawin?" PE teacher asked.

"Don't worry, I have done the first step. I have done some tracing and a little of interview. The good thing is, I found three things that are suspicious." English Teacher said.

"And what are those?" I asked.

That acting-detective-guy just smirked at me. His nerve. I rolled my eyes mentally.

"First is about Hailey Mendoza, one of those lost girls. She is the nerd from architecture college. I found out that she is the secret step-daughter of Mr. Amorson, the dean of the same college. Someone who named Arthur, is her step-brother and has a huge conflict with the girl before she was nowhere to found.

Second is about Lacy De Dios. She is the daughter of the co-founder of La Stelanas, a huge company in Pampanga that selling different kinds of shoes. May hidwaan sa mga stockholders and one of the stockholder is Arthur."

"The same Arthur that you are talking about a while ago?" Aslan asked.

"Yes. Interesting right? Don't worry, mas magiging interesting ang lahat kapag narinig nyo ang huli kong sasabihin. The third one is about Abby Herrera. She grew up in a poor family and was now studying here because of a scholarship that is care of Mr. Amorson. So she is also connected to Arthur Amorson. Now that we have a common denominator, we can start finding the girls but we will be needing the help of Secretary." English Teacher said.
