The Mystery of the Ophidians

Chapter 11

The driver drove faster and Rachel noticed that the jeep wasn't able to keep up. She let out a sigh of relief. In almost no time, she was in the hotel. She ran up the stairs to her room. That warehouse had creatures which sounded exactly like snakes. Snakes. What if those were the men trying to kill her? She looked out the window and noticed that the jeep was nowhere to be seen. She sat back on the bed. She took deep breaths. 

Later that day, Rachel remembered the e-mail in Alfonso's inbox. In a few minutes she was in the computer cafe. She switched on the computer. She had been a pro hacker since a long time. getting into someone's inbox was easy. She scrolled through the inbox till she found the e-mail she was looking for. it was someone called Frederick.

This e-mail had caught Rachel's eyes the first time she had seen his inbox. She had so many questions. What goods? What were they delivering? What was Alfonso ordering? Why was he changing the location? She needed answers. Maybe the answers were in other e-mails. She went back to his inbox. The owner of the computer cafe walked over. "Sorry miss, we're closing now." he said. Rachel sighed and switched off the computer. She hailed a cab back to the hotel. 

She was in front of the hotel when she heard some noises from the pool. Her curiosity got the best of her and she opened the gate to the pool. She walked slowly to the man standing in the back. It was Alfonso. He was on the phone. Rachel heard a few words and phrases.

"goods are delivered- delivery process is smooth-delivery location changed- operation will be done soon."

Alfonso was about to turn around so Rachel quickly left. She was more than confused now. She took the elevator to her room. There had bee no snakes in her hotel room since a long time so she definitely didn't expect a huge snake to jump off the bed and slither towards her quickly. She shrieked. t advanced towards her but she was paralyzed with fear. The snake's yellow eyes wouldn't leave her as t came faster and faster towards her. And she just stood there not knowing what to do.
