RICHARD CROW (Guns & Perfume) - Completed

Chapter 30 - Deception 3.0

RICHARD'S POV:

After days in the infirmary, I was transferred to a secured isolated prison cell. A hi-tech cell with security system that requires Amanda's eyes and palm recognition before entering. Amanda made sure that no one can get near me without her permission.

Expect Robert, he doesn't need Amanda's permission or her security codes to enter my cell. Robert uses a special contact lens that can scan and copy Amanda's eyes by merely blinking habang nakatitig si Robert kay Amanda ng minsang mag-usap sila, and then he also took Amanda's palm print from the biometric data system and uses a special wax to re-print it and placed the wax on his own hand.

That's how Robert got in without Amanda knowing it. Oh, I almost forgot, Robert also re-programs the cctv camera, so there will be no traces that we had this conversation.

"Thanks Robert, kung hindi ka dumating siguradong na deflower ako ng hayop na Elliot na yun". Pag bibiro ko, pero nakatanim ang lahat ng atraso ng gagong yun sa aking utak, at nag hihintay lang tamang panahon para anihin.

"You got lucky, I arrived in time. However, I still owe you an apology, dahil sa akin sorbang nadelay na kayo sa time frame... But, believe me kuya, I don't regret what I did to him, ang totoo nakukulangan pa ako". Sagot ni Robert.

"That's not a problem, delay lang naman kami, the mission wasn't burnt, kaya tuloy pa rin ang plano. Now, tell me about your mission". Utos ko kay Robert.

"Piece of cake, the riddle didn't even burn me any calorie. After reading the Prof. Miller's journal habang nasa kulungan siya ay nakuha ko na agad kung saan niya itinago ang plate. It's hidden inside his poems."

"The sins of my love for you will remain hidden;

My trespass has been forgiven.

My repentance will be my step to redemption;

Let no answer be revealed to all question.

My transgression will disappear as I sleep;

            There will be no other reason to weep.

Let the shadow of my darkness be buried deep in the sea;

            For my heart and my soul is safe in the arms of thee."

Pag tula ni Robert, bago ito muling nag salita. "Shadow... Buried....Heart... The name of prof. Miller's wife here in the Philippines is Corazon Luciano Miller. Corazon is the Spanish word for heart". Tumingin siya sa akin at muling nagpatuloy.

 

"Nakakahinayang din ang pag mamahalan nila kuya, dahil sa kabila ng pag gamit niya ng mga pekeng pera ay hindi nito nasagip sa kamatayan ang kanyang asawa. Pina cremate niya ang asawa niya at isinaboy ang abo sa dagat. Surprisingly his wife has a grave at the San LorenzoCemetery. So, to cut the long story short, nang pinahukay ko ang libingan niya ay nagulat ako nang malaman ko na gawa pala sa isang malapad na bakal ang katawan ng asawa niya". Nakangiting kwento ni Robert, he was saying that the plate was buried inside Corazon Miller's tomb.

"After that, dinala namin ni Sir Raven ang plate sa States. Tapos I came back para i-report sa inyo na kayo na lang ang hinihintay ni Sir Silver. Gusto niyang siya mismo ang makahuli sa founder na mapupuntahan ng plate". Sagot nito.

"So do you have it?" Tanong ko kay Robert.

"See for yourself". Sabay turo ng bagay na inilagay niya sa lamesa. Binuksan ko ito at nakita ang isang replica ng shadow plate.
