"Who is it... Ian?"
"Was it him? It must be. what was that?"
I just happened to get a glimpse, as he got in to the van within seconds, dressed in all black.

Next up was the cafe right away, I wanted to confirm if it was Ian who was among those strange men, I dumped the set of books in my bag and started walking toward the cafe, I was nearly there when my phone rang.

'Dad'. "Why is he calling now?"
"Hello?"
"Hello, why aren't you home?"
"I'm at the library.." I lied, and was pretty confused as my dad never checked on me before, he was usually busy with his work so he doesn't have much time to check if I be home or not.
"Stop with your work and come home right now." He said and hung up.

"Should I go home or should I just go in and check fast? I'll go home!"
I took the bus and on my way I hear a notification. A message from Ellen.

            
Heyy !!!      
Why is your package sent
to my address ?

            What package?

I don't know! Should I return
this or shall I send it to you ?

            I'll come there.

Ellen's house was a few meters away from mine, so I stopped by there first. It was Jason who answered the door bell. "Athena!" He said. "Oh, Ellen said that she received a package, I don't know what she was talking about." "Oh yes!" He handed over something, it looked strange, a black cover and no one knew where it was from.
I went home to see my dad waiting at the doorway. "Dad." I went in and his eyes were on the package I held. "We have to talk." He said and went inside his room, and I followed him in.

"What are you up to this time?" He asked. "Woah! Now I have no idea what's going on!"I thought. He saw the look on my face and placed three packages on the table , which were similar to the one I was holding. "Take them and tell me what are these."
"I don't know, This was sent to Ellen's address and there are three more? I have no idea about what's going on." I said as he sighed. "Look I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, It'll take about a week or two for me to return so don't do anything stupid." He was eying the packages ,  "And take care of yourself." He finished as he got a call and nodded signing for me to leave. I took the packages and left his room.

I placed the packages on the table and was ready to open one of them when I heard a loud ringing. "Again? A call from a restricted caller ID!"
