The Fighter

Chapter Twenty-Six

"Did you opened the clue?" Jaypee asked habang inuurong ko ang mga box na nakahrang.

"Oh right, hold on, I will send it to Jack." I muttered at saka kaagad na kinuhaan ng litrato ang clue na iyon and send it right away to Jack.

Muntik ko ng makalimutan yung about sa clue.

"Nasaan ka banda Harley?" Jaypee asked again.

"I don't know what floor I am in right now, ang alam ko lang nasa isang storage room ako." I said at saka tinignan ulit ang vent.

I can reach that vent if I can jump properly.

"Whew, this is so much for a day." I commented at saka lumakad paatras. I let out a sigh bago tumakbo at tumalon para maabot ang takip ng vent.

And surprisingly, I did it.

"Uhm...I don't understand." Jack muttered from the other line and that caught my attention.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Well, the clue states two to seven." Jack answered.

"Two to seven? What kind of clue is that?" Jaypee commented.

Hindi naman ako nagsalita at saka nagtangkang umakyat ulit sa vent na ngayon ay wala ng laman. After ilang tries ay naka-akyat naman ako doon.

Then an idea came into my mind.

"Two to seven you say?" I asked at saka nahiga sa vent nang maka-akyat na doon.

"Yeah? May clue ka about doon?" Jack asked.

I chuckled when a memory came into my mind. "I remember Felix only allowed me to go to the town library from two to seven." I said with a smile on my face.

Just how fast the night changes.

"Library? Hold on, I think I saw a library in the building." Jaypee said.

Bumangon naman ako mula sa pagkakahiga at saka pinagpag ang mga alikabok bago gumapang.

"I am currently in a vent and I don't know if...oohh.." I said at saka sinipa ang takip ng panibagong vent na nakita ko. Nang maialis ko naman iyon, kaagad na tumalon ako pababa and I stopped nang ma-realize kung nasaan ako.

I was in a male comfort room.

Great, just great.

I pursed my lips at nagtungo sa pinto, my eyes widened nang umikot ang doorknob. Kaagad na nagtago naman ako sa likod ng pinto and I saw three men entered.

At nakahinga naman ako ng maluwag nang makalabas sa lugar na iyon nang hindi nakikita.

"What floor is it?" I whispered, asking Jaypee from the other line.

"I think it's on 5th floor." Jaypee said.

"On it." I muttered at pumasok ulit sa pamilyar na fire exit at ginamit ang hagdan para magtungo sa 5th floor.

Pagdating ko naman doon ay kaagad kong napansin ang isang banner na naka-display doon. Iba ang language niya and I can tell that is French.

And I don't speak French, I only eat French Fries.

It states; C'est par ici

"Mukhang kailangan kong mag-aral ng French language." I commented at saka nilagpasan ang banner na iyon.

"Sakto kumakain ako ng french fries." Ani naman ni Jaypee.

"Sana masaya ka." I said sarcastically at saka ipinagpatuloy ang pagtingin sa paligid.
