Morse meets Code

BLUEPRINT

"Malapit na kami sa building Nix." Sabi ni Star sa comms.

"Good."

Bumaba na sina Trix at Shiela sa van at inayos ang damit nila bago tumungo sa entrance. Naka pasok sila sa building ng walang problema at may isang babaeng sumalubong sa kanila.

"Are you guys here for the interview?" Tanong niya.

"Yes we are." Sagot ni Trix.

"Please follow me." Lumakad siya papuntang office ng secretary kung saan sila i-interviewhin. Sumunod naman sila at they roamed their eyes around keeping alert.

Lahat ng nangyayari ay nakikita at naririnig nina Code at ng iba. They saw Trix and Shiela entered the office and offered to sit on the couch habang wala pa ang secretary.

"You can wait Sir Aidan here, he's on a meeting at the moment." Sabi niya.

"Will do Ma'am." Saad ni Shiela.

"Thank you Ma'am." Dagdag ni Trix.

Umalis na ang babae at iniwan silang dalawa sa opisina.

I clapped my hands nung nakita ko sa screen na walang tao ang opisina ng secretary. Clark put the cctv cameras on loop kung saan sina Trix at Shiela ay naka upo lang.

"Now's the time to search for that blueprint girls." I said through the comms.

"Got it Ate Nix." Sagot ni Trix at nagsimulang lumakad paikot sa loob ng opisina.

"I'll check his desk." Sabi ni Trix.

"I got the cabinets." Sabi ni Sheila.

I watched them going through the drawers and cabinets of Aidan.

"Wala sa mga drawers." Sabi ni Trix.

"Aidan's on the way back to his office." Biglang sabi ni Dwayne kung saan nasa kanyang screen ang kuha ng cctv ng hallways of the building.

"Girls, fix everything what it's like before." Dali-daling inayos nina Trix at Sheila ang lahat ng mga papel at folders at dali-daling umupo sa couch.

As soon as their butt hit the soft cushion of the couch, the door swung open.

"Greetings ladies, sorry for the wait. I had a meeting to attend." Sabi niya habang sinarado ang pinto. He shakes their hands before heading to his table and sat on his swivel chair.

"It's okay sir, we understand." Sabi ni Shiela

"Here's our file sir." Binigay ni Trix ang kanilang folder kay Aidan at inuna niyang binasa ang kay Trix, sunod naman kay Sheila.

"So Stacy and Ashley, your files says you two had a vast experience in accounting management from high companies and also you two had an excellent performance, this is exactly what our company needs
A well experienced Head Accounting Manager and a Chief Financial Officer." Sabi niya at bahagyang ngumiti.

"Congratulations, you two are hired. When can you start?"

"Right now sir." Sabay nilang sabi.

Tinawag ni Aidan ang babae kanina at sinabing dalhin sila sa desk or cube na tatrabahonan nila.

"Yes! Congrats girls. Now, hintayin natin umuwi si Aidan and then you two check his office again." Sabi ko.

"Got it Ate Nix." Saad ni Trix.

"Noted po." Sabi ni Sheila.

Umupo na silang dalawa sa kani-kanilang table at sinimulang mag trabaho. Secretong chineck nila ang kani-kanilang baril sa bag at imbes na tapusin ang kanilang trabaho, sila ay nagmamasid sa paligid at bahagyang chinecheck ang opisina ni Aidan kung nandyan parin siya sa loob.

It's already 12 noon at lunch break na nila, tinapos muna nila ang mga reports na binigay sa kanila. Hindi naman nahirapan sina Trix at Sheila sa kagagawa ng reports dahil tinulungan naman sila nina Clark at Kaizon.

Ako ay nakatutok sa screen kung saan pinapanood ko si Aidan mula sa CCTV camera ng opisina niya. I study his office from the camera hoping to find any clue on where he could hide the blueprint.

May tumawag sa telepono ni Aidan at hindi ko iyon marinig 'di tulad nung kanina dahil sina Trix at Sheila ay malapit sa kanya. I watched him closely and he put down the phone as he closes all the files and fix the papers scattered across his table. He reached for his case and then leave his office.

"Ate Nix, Aidan just left his office." Sabi ni Trix sa comms.

"Pasukin niyo na." Saad ko.

Trix and Shiela looked at each other and nod signalling to enter Aidan's office. Trix stack the reports she finished and hold it and Shiela did the same.

They were walking towards his office ng biglang sumulpot ang same girl kanina.

"Are those for Sir Aidan?" Tanong niya.

"Uh yes." Sabi ni Sheila.

"Oh let me take it, i'll put it on his table."
Sabi niya.

"Oh no it's fine, i can just put in on his table quickly." Saad ni Sheila.

"No no it's okay, i'm always the one who puts the report on his table." Sabi niya and Trix seemed annoyed.

"Don't you have something to do?" Sabi ni Trix na may medyo pagkainis at tinaasan niya ng kilay.

"Yeah right. You don't want to miss the deadline" Sambat ni Shiela sabay tingin sa bitbit niyang mga folders.

"Oh yeah sorry, i almost forgot." Sabi niya and chuckled awkwardly as she left.

Trix just rolled her eyes and they both entered the office. Sheila locked the door and they put down the folders they holding on top of the table and begin the search.

Code was watching them through the camera and Clark played a loop of an empty office for the security of the company.

Trix searched the desk again and this time she looked deeper and checks every drawer until Sheila accidentally pushed the stapler on top of the desk as they heard a click and a secret drawer pops out from the center-bottom of the desk.

They looked at each other and Trix saw a piece of paper inside the drawer as she pull it out.

"Mr. Aidan hide things well." Saad ni Sheila at mahinang tumawa.

Nilapag ni Trix ang papel sa mesa at nanlaki ang kanilang mata.

"Never give up and luck will find you." Sabi ni Trix at tumingin sa CCTV.

"Good work girls" Sabi ko habang tinitingnan sila sa CCTV.

Trix folded the blueprint and put it inside a folder and they quickly clean up the messy papers before reaching the doors. Luckily, no one notice anything. They left the office as quickly as possible and head to their desks.

Trix immediately shove the folder to her bag as soon as she sat on her chair and act like nothing happened by doing something from her computer.
