Triumphs (Book 2 of Trials End)

Chapter 35

"I think someone powerful is the leader," Twilla said when all the videos ended.

I'm sure, I'm sure it's someone powerful and fearless. Ang nagtataka lang ako, bakit wala silang ginawa para sa mga CCTV footage na 'to.

Are they giving us leads to find them? Are they that confident that we won't find them? They could have just deleted them all!

"All cars, all cars went in there." Keith said, and tried to rewind the videos.

"Then the question is, who owns that property." Asra added. That's true, kailangan muna malaman natin kung kanino nakapangalan 'yan.

"It would take time, hindi natin makukuha ngayon 'yan." Ani ni Aldo.

"Then ano gagawin natin?" Blanca asked.

I only could think of one way to find clues. Though, I'll still need everyone's help here.

I raised my hand. "I have a suggestion." Brice nodded so I stood up. "Let's retrieve more videos in this exact spot. Let's check everyone who will go in and out. I'll need help from Aldo and Claud here." I looked at Aldo.

"That's easy, I already have it's IP Address." The corner of Aldo's lips rose."Simulan ko na ba?"

I looked at Brice, waiting for his approval.

He looked at the screen first. "Okay, let's do that. Let's try to watch the people and where they're going."

Aldo saluted. "A-yay," tumayo siya at lumapit sa mga boxes. He pulled another new laptop and began to use it.

"Claud," tawag ni Brice sa kanya. "Help Aldo, check the surroundings."

Now, while Aldo and Claud were busy hacking the CCTV, we're watching the other videos of the car. Araw araw nila kaming sinusundan at araw araw rin namin kinuha ang video.

"Lagi sila dyan sa garahe umuuwi." Rave pointed out.

Deborah nodded."Oo nga, nakakapagtaka lang kasi mukhang maliit yung garahe pero nasa sampu na yata yung kotse."

"Malay mo, garage ng bahay." Ely shrugged.

House? Wait, what they observed is true. Masyadong maliit yung garage para sa ganung kadaming kotse.

I was startled when I found Twilla looking at me.

"What?' I mouthed.

"Aiby, I think, it also has a basement." Twilla said.

I nodded."That's what I'm thinking too,"

"If it has a basement, it must be a hideout. The house beside them was just small. Maybe it's just for cover up." Brice suddenly joined our circle kaya napatingin kaming sa kanilang lahat.

Basement, hideout, and a small house.

"Guys! Lahat ng video kahit anong date ilagay ko, wala akong nakikitang pumapasok na tao!" We immediately looked at Claud who shouted.

"Huh? What do you mean?' Graig asked him, confused.

"Lahat ng papasok ay kotse! We never saw people go in! Kahit driver o kahit bata! Walang pumasok sa loob." Claud hysterically shouted.

"Malamang, bobo ka ba? Kasi yung tao nasa loob ng kotse nag da-drive." Pabalang na sagot sa kanya ni Ayer.

I almost thought they're starting a new comedy show here not until I saw Aldo's dangerous eyes.

"What Claud said is true. Kotse lang ang lumalabas pasok sa garahe, habang sa tabing bahay ay wala. Walang wala ka makikitang tao papasok." Aldo supported Claud.
