After Well endured the fifteen long minutes of waiting for the taxi cab driver, he finally arrived in front of the enormous gate of the Don Betito Private hospital. As soon as he found the taxi, Well quickly dashed across the pedestrian lane in his full speed and opened the door of the passenger’s seat in the front. “You will not believe what I am about to tell you,” Well said in the softest voice that he could. However, the parting of his lips and the whispery sound of his breathing made his voice sound like normal anyway. “Get in the car! Get in the car!” The taxi driver reached for the seatbelt and fastened it to Well the moment he allowed himself seated on the passenger’s seat. “You said it is a private matter, right? Then don’t say it out loud in the public. Wait until you close the door before you spill whatever it is that you are dying to tell,” the taxi cab driver said as he started the engine of his taxi and maneuver it to the side of the road– en route to the parking lot in
“Let us start with the most obvious detail I could particularly think of,” Well said as he walked two to three steps forward, just a few seconds after he left the car alongside the taxi cab driver who went out just as soon as he parked the car on a private space of the Don Betito Hospital’s private parking lot. The taxi cab driver looked at Well’s eyes and immediately asked, “most obvious detail which is?” “Most obvious detail which is the exact location of the operating room,” he instantly answered. “As far as my memory could go, I believe the operation room is the first room of the second floor just as when you set out of the stairs.” Well then looked up to the sky and saw how the stars shined bright so beautifully that it did not even occur to him that it was about to get midnight already. The time was turning ten o’clock in the evening, but Well ‘s eyes were still wide awake. He would not be able to get himself to sleep anyway. His friend was obviously in danger, and as a new fr
“What do you suggest when you say that?” Well asked Detective Deib Anchorman. He was trembling when he let go of those words. Hearing the way how the detective had delivered his words, he knew something was not right. The tone of his voice, even the cracking of the words every time they came out, something was off. “I don’t know,” the detective denied. “I am not trying to suggest anything. I just want you to consider and acknowledge all the possibilities, even if they mean going against our will and what we want to be the conclusion,” he added. “Based on my initial investigation, and also based on the quick deduction process that I have done, I can tell that your friend, Allen Mar has been taken away somewhere far from this hospital. I have deduced three possible scenarios that involve him right now, and five possible reasons as to why he was being kidnapped,” the detective further explained. “However, what is quite difficult to understand to me is how the hell was his kidnapper able

Detective Deib Anchorman and Well arrived at the City Reserves at around ten o’clock in the evening. Since the night had been getting deeper and deeper, the two needed to move as fast as they can, or else it would take them a sunrise before they could come to a certain decision. With Detective Deib Anchorman on the lead, the two went out of the taxi cab and sneaked their way past a narrow and wide cornfield. The City Reserves was composed of three giant infrastructures all of which were being connected to each other. Only the detective knew what each building had been storing, and Well had no idea why the city Reserves was composed of three buildings. Out of curiosity, Well asked Detective Deib Anchorman about it. “Okay, not that I am trying to make my own conclusions here, but I think there is a reason behind the City Reserves having three separate buildings. I mean, there has to be. Because if they are none, it is so easy to just bridge those three buildings into one. I am not an a
“There is literally no one to contact inside, kid,” Detective Deib Anchorman said as he shot his gaze towards the third half of the building. He looked at it like it was his greatest enemy. Like it was some kind of a threat to his life and to the society he had always been trying to protect. It really was, Detective Deib Anchorman could not deny it no matter how much he will try to. Even Well himself knew about it. “Okay, okay. Are you sure we are going to be okay if we choose to go through? What are the odds of us fucking up the situation? Specifically, me Since I don’t know these kinds of stuff and to be honest, this has been my first time getting involved in a situation as traumatizing and as mystifying as this,” Well replied. On his face marked the sediments of fear, anxiety, tremor, and horror. “Let us by real here, shall we? There is literally and obviously no way we can go through that tight of a security. There is– god, there is just no way,” he added as if his words will con
“Enough with the fillers now, Detective. Just tell me how do we enter there already so we can now begin to move. Didn’t you say that we only have a short time?” Well was partly annoyed because of the detective right now. He thought, he islike any other people out there who loves to spoil every single thing and then end up not continuing it anymore. To Well, Detective Deib Anchorman had been sort of like that. “It’s literally turning midnight now, detective.” “I know, that is actually the way that I mean. If you have not noticed it yet, the security guards are slowly going out of their zone one by one every after five minutes. I must admit I felt so dumb of myself too because I have not noticed it in the first place. But look at them! Look at them closely and you will see it with your own pair of eyes!” the detective answered as he pointed a finger to the front gate of the City Reserves. He was right. There were an estimated one hundred armed forces guarding the gate, but they are slow
“Oh, shit! We need to hide!” This had been the first words that Detective Deib Anchorman said to Well the very moment they both heard the wailing siren played in the background. The entire building three had been wrapped in blinking red lights, a sudden and abrupt manifestation that intruders had infiltrated the place. The army suddenly strengthened their guard, and put their security at its highest. All the military personnel started to notice the commotion, and so their initiative of checking around the place for potential threats suddenly struck. “Oh, my fucking goodness! I knew this would happen!” Well said, horrified and petrified, and feeling all the chills flowing in his veins. His nerves had been shuddering, his eyes did not know where to look– his feet did not know in which direction to go. It had been the most crucial time of the night when even the Detective had failed to deduce the probability of them being caught. He never precisely thought that the military will be noti
