S.U. 58 There's Hope

CHAPTER 58

HAILEY ZOE'S POV

NAGSIMULA na naman sumakit ang ulo ko. Gustong-gusto ko na umangal pero alam kong habang sumasakit, mas nalalaman ko ang lahat. My mind was playing tricks on me; I was being hunted by my memories in the past. This made me crazy, crazier every day! But the good thing of being crazy, my thoughts are unlimited, no boundaries!

There's a place that just bumped accidentally into my mind. As I remember, it's a remarkable place way back then.

I went on my secret area. I was glad that I recalled also the secret storage of my key for this room. I remembered this place when Paula started to teach me everything about self-defense training. That was my 17 to 18 years of age. At that young age, I opened my eyes to the reality. In this world that full of judgmental people and traitors, you don't need to trust everyone, trust only few. The word trust is very important; it is the key of Sandberg's continuous success. Minsan nang naloko ng tiwala ang aking mga magulang. They trusted our family's friend, the Chen's. Ngayon ay sigurado akong mahirap na magbigay ng tiwala si Mommy sa lahat dahil sa nangyari noon.

Inikot ko ang aking paningin sa paligid. Napangiti ako bigla, hindi ko inaasahang buo pa rin pala ang lugar na 'to. Naglakad ako papunta sa favorite table ko. My laptop is still intact. How good was that! In an instant, I opened the laptop and put the charger on. Bumungad sa akin ang larawan ng pamilya ko. Nakaakbay sa akin si Daddy habang si Mommy ay nakayakap sa tagiliran ko. Si Paula naman ay nakahawak sa kamay ko.

Uminit ang pakiramdam ko. Medyo nagtubig na rin ata ang mga mata ko. Ito na naman, mapapaluha ulit ako. But seeing this happy family picture, I'm forever thankful with God. He gave me a family like them. Kahit ilang beses ako magpasalamat ay hindi ako mapapagod sabihin 'yun dahil kulang pa ang salitang salamat sa mga bagay na nabigay nila tulad ng pagmamahal na hindi matutumbasan ng kahit na anong bagay.

I was right. My past is a treasure. Kung hinayaan ko ang sariling umalis kanina at kalimutan ang lahat ng ito, magsisisi ako panigurado sa naging desisyon ko. I connect my phone in my laptop. I transferred my files. Mas magandang ayusin ang plano kapag nasa big screen. Hindi talaga ako makapaniwalang gumagana pa pala ang laptop ko. Imposible pero posible pala. Well nothing is impossible for the perfect timing.

I clicked the map file. This map has a trail going to Finsky's hide out. Nakuha ko ito kahapon lang. I put a locator on Althea's bag. But its not 100% sure. She's smart; she may saw the locator after a few hours and arranged to situate it in a place with a trap. Pero malakas pa rin ang kutob ko na hindi niya iyon mahahalata. The newest locator is very small and thin. It cannot be seen with a single glimpse. It can also easily adapt the color of the bag.

Paula taught me some trick with regards to the cctv hacking and with the help of the Orphic braw I brought to mind some lessons they showed me. From the location, in the City down to the barangay, goes down to streets and ended at house or establishment number, I put those information on the application they built for cctv easy access. Ganoon lang kasimple! This application made the hacker use it in much easier way. Then here it goes...

Viola! I got the access of the cctv in the street near the location of the bag. I saw a long road and a one house far from the cctv. I need to be grateful with the developer of this application! Ang galing lang! Sunod kong ginawa ay inisa-isa ko ang street para tignan ang cctv video. So the place is isolated. The houses are limited and no other establishments around. Kung magpupunta ako roon ay mahahalata agad dahil halos walang dumadaan na sasakyan sa lugar. Kung isa iyong long road, imposible pa ring walang dumadaan na iba, marahil ay wala lang dumadaan ngayon dahil madaling araw na. I need to check the route. May mga private vehicles pa ring dumadaan do'n panigurado.
