As Dennis drove out of the hotel compound he received got another text. He packed his car to take a proper look at the text.
The text still said
14??
Dennis packed his car already looking frustrated, while he was still trying to figure out what the number could possibly mean, he suddenly remembered something he should have thought of a long time ago.
"Oh my God! "he said said aloud to himself.
"I need to get to my library, he said to himself "he turned his car and drove to his house at a great speed.
Getting to his house , he saw that everywhere and everything was dusty. He went to the library and scattered all the books, checking everywhere . He searched every single corner of the library and he still couldn't find it. He finally gave up and sat on the ground.
"I can't find the book, I'm starting to think I understand where the problem is coming from"he said to himself crying.
"But how?oh God! James shouldn't have done this, I warned him, oh God! "He said to himself .
"I need to do something "he said and stood up hurriedly .
"This place isn't safe at all, I need to get out of here "He said wiping his tears and moving outside .
He drove out of the compound like someone who was being chased .
