The Legacy Of Jewelox

CHAPTER 28

      Theo and Colin led us left, right, left, left, right and again, right and halted near a ladder that looked like the one we climbed down from, but the lid wasn't open in this one. I turned to Theo who grabbed a screwdriver from his hoodie's pocket. When in the world did he bring a screwdriver? He climbed up the ladder like a monkey whose seen a tree of bananas and quickly screwed out the nails, pushing the heavy lid up and sliding it over. He looked down at us with a solemn look and gave a nod before airing out of the sewer. Rachel followed him out and Anne went next followed by Rafel and Ashton.

      Clunk! Clunk! Clunk! Clunk!

     I turned to the sound of other apes in this sewer other than us. I looked at my cousin whose face went as pale as Malfoy's at the sound and he brought his index finger up to his mouth and shushed us. He gave us a sign to climb out as fast as we could. I went next, surged up the ladder as the cool air splashed on my face. I realised it was an underground sewer entrance to Sheraton park. I gaped at the place we ended up in. Sheraton park is 45 minutes from Ian's and we ended up here within just 15 minutes.

     Mia, Sky, Zepher, Ashton, Scott and Colin followed me out and Colin had tirelessly screwed the nails back on the lid.

     “Theo... Damn... You look like a... No offence... A ghost...”, ended Mia.

     “Yes, my friend. P-per...perfect time to...talk...about what people...l-look li-like”

     “Well, once again, no offence”, Mia grinned.

      Certainly took a big offence. “COME ON!”, Colin yelled at us, heading out the park with, Theo behind him. What in the world happened to these two? And where the hell did they find all the routes and equipments?

     I followed them out and Theo had already summoned four taxis. Me, Rachel and Sky got on one together, not knowing where we will be heading because it doesn’t seem like we're going home.

     After five minutes, we got off and faced a huge building that's named ‘Weiner Library'. Like, what in the world are we doing here this late at night?!

     “Fast!”, Theo shouted at us for just standing in the place where the taxis left us and looking confused. I sighed, intertwining my fingers with Anne's as we entered the library. Colin was already at a computer. “Liz! Come here!”, he ordered. “What’s the magic word?”, I snickered. “Certainly the time to speak about magic words—whatever! Please!”, he rolled his eyes at me.

     Everyone were agitated. I just shrugged, seating myself in front of the computer. Theo took out a scrunched piece of paper and gave it to me. “Hack this email. It's Ian's”

     “What?!”, everyone except for Theo and Colin shrieked. “How did you get his email?!”, Mia was too shocked. I mean, who wouldn’t be? These punks aren't even telling us anything. Just giving orders and I can’t speculate that we're actually agreeing to all of this instead of arguing.

     “Does that matter? Hurry up!”, Colin snapped roughly. “Well, don’t YOU know how to hack as well?”, I snapped, turning my head with a sniff in annoyance. I’m not his servant, for heaven's sake!

     “I only know to hack FB and Instagram accounts, not the computer!”, he glared. “Please, Liz!”, pleaded Theo. I glared at them both before starting to hack and chew on the information. I clicked on the file that had been locked and clicked on various more files before landing on the document where all their hideouts were mentioned in a map.

     Wow…these people have had so many lairs… They've moved sixteen places and there last one has been… I clicked on the green tag and an address inscripted itself on the screen.

     52 Crown Street.
