CHAPTER 50-3-"SO WHERE should we start?" The best detective in town, Rudolf Magindugon, very compose as he stood in front of shivering Teresa with Puferto beside her. In a gloomy interrogation room is where the police took the two old couple at tanging mesa ang pagitan nila. "Let me inform you about the complaint first... not just one... apat na residente ng inyong barangay ay nagpasa ng complaint about the Corteses kidnapping this young man. You can say that your neighbors are terrified now with what you did... as you can see, this really cause an alarming matter in once a peaceful town, Saka." he then started.Teresa looked at the detective's eyes with a distress expression; honestly if looks are not defined as deceiving. "Detective, maniwala kayo... wala kaming masamang ginagawa, kung sino mang nagreklamo ay nagsasabi po sila ng kasinungalingan." The detective could sense how frightening the situation are for them two. "Kaya nga po kayo pinatawag dito... l we want to hear your

CHAPTER 52-3-"MAY NAKAAWAY ba kayong hindi taga-rito? For us to know if may possibility na outsider ang gumawa nito sa inyo."It's already 11 in the morning when the Police-Detective, Rudolf Magindugon, went back to the Corteses to ask some details that would help the case. They were talking just in front of their house. The police- detective was holding a small notebook and pen to take some notes."Mayroong naging competitor dati, pero hindi naman namin masasabi na aabot sila sa ganitong punto." sagot ni Puferto. Siya ang mas nakakaalam nito kasi siya palagi yung lumalabas sa probinsiya para sa pag-import at export."During our investigation outside, we could reconsider na ito pala ay isang aksidente. May nakita kaming empty lamp sa tabi ng kulungan n'yo ng mga hayop. Baka ito ang pinagmulan ng sunog. However, still, we are convinced na ito ay sinadya. Either way, we will find more evidence to support which is which." The detective stated. The couple slightly glanced at each othe

CHAPTER 54-3-"FOR THE sake of everyone, I'll quit my job and bet on this town!"Everyone was very happy after Marco's announcement.Seeing him sacrificing his profession convinced everyone, including Kage, about his legitimacy. Kaya bago pa man matapos ang pagtitipon, napagdesisyunan ng lahat na sumang-ayon sa unang hakbang kaugnay sa operasyon ng pagmimina.Yes, Marco and Augustus successfully persuaded everyone to proceed with the first process and that is to submit the payment for land sample testing in Dubai.That selfish Mayor also continue with his offer for everyone who will not be able to submit their payment. It was overwhelming to them, not knowing what's lurking beyond that offer---a malicious intention.At first, Kage was looking for loopholes that might support his hunch that the two geologists were just lying to the town. He tried to trap them by asking a couple of questions but ended up incorrect. It just help him convince himself a little more instead."Don't tell m

CHAPTER 56-3-"AUGUSTUS, NAKAHANDA na ba ang bangka sa daungan?""Oo, andoon na si Cello naghihintay, as what you told me to do.""Kailangan nating makaalis dito as soon as possible... for sure they are on their way to tell the others. When it reaches the Mayor, we should be gone before that happens. We can't mess with that guy."The sun has already started to set to the west, yet, Marco and Augustus are just on their way to the escape route. It has been thirty minutes since they got out from the Cortes Farm and they're still in the depth of the woods.The undistinguished path filled with bushes, rocks, and logs gives them hard time to pass through. Nevertheless, that was the only way to get to their escape routes without passing people and houses that would become witnesses along the runaway.Augustus carried the two suitcases on his each hand while Marco's with the third suitcase and their backpack. No matter how hard to run at constant pace on that path, they still tried their bes

CHAPTER 58SAHARA KIMHONESTLY, I'M glad that my people found him. That they found Leigh. Few years ago we already had given up in finding him, not because we just concluded that he's dead but because it was difficult to do so. The moment Ashley told us that he's alive, I immediately made up my mind to check on him there even though it's really hard to leave Santa Luna. Whenever you went outside your house, those Nanos immediately attack you. Yeah, Nanos---that's what they called them, might as well used that term.Anyway, those Nanos seemed very hungry to kill those normal ones, including us. Their minds have been corrupted and controlled. I know for sure that one day will come that they could dominate the whole place, or worse, the whole world. And that is what we needed to stop. However, I admit that my plan went vague and vague as time passes by.I sometimes left Santa Luna to see Leighton. To see how he is; if he's still doing good. However, every time that I went to where he w
