Anthony pursed his lips. “So, you know?”
A grin appeared on Benjamin's face. “I already knew what you would do when you spoke to Thalia. I also know that you don't want to get her involved.”
Anthony remained silent.
That's the magic of being twins. It's hard to hide anything from your twin sibling.
Just then, Benjamin saw something on his computer and said, “Oh, by the way, I have located Boss' position. Not surprisingly, Nat is there too!” With that, he pushed the computer in his brother's direction so that he could take a look too.
Anthony was shocked. The very next second, he hopped off the bed and walked to the computer. “How did you find them?”
“There's nothing money cannot solve.”
A smirk appeared on Anthony's face. “Good job.”
Looking at the location on the computer, Benjamin continued, “I found out that this location isn't that far away from here. If we go by car, we should be able to reach there in less than twenty minutes.”
“Is it where Vermillion Base is?”
“No. It's a hotel.”
“A hotel?”
“The hotel has been booked a few days ago. But I'm not sure why.”
Anthony pondered on it before looking at his brother.
“I know what you're thinking, and I agree with you,” said Benjamin as he nodded.
“You know what I was going to say?”
“One look at your face and I can tell!”
Anthony smiled. “Shall we go, then?”
“I'm ready to go anytime!” With a shrug of his shoulders, Benjamin showed his brother that he was all dressed up and waiting for him.
Anthony nodded and smiled. “Good. Give me three minutes!”
With that, he turned around and swiftly got dressed.
Three minutes later, he asked Benjamin, “Ready to go?”
Carrying his backpack, Benjamin said, “Yes!”
After that, the two boys crept out of the house.
The uninhabited zone was an isolated area with very few people and insufficient supplies.
Although there had been an increase in people, the economy did not see any improvement at all.
Once they were out of the door, the two of them had to face the cold, hard truth. There was no cab in sight.
Even though there were vehicles during the day, they were pickup trucks. Now that it was late at night, it would be unlikely to see one.
In another word, it was an impossible task if they wanted to get to their destination.
Just as the two of them were feeling lost, they saw a figure sneaking around not far away from them. Anthony signaled for Benjamin to go over and check it out.
“Thalia?” uttered Benjamin. “What is she doing out at this late hour?”
“Let's go over and find out,” said Anthony.
The two boys made their way over to Thalia.
She was looking at something in front of her when Benjamin walked up to her side and asked, “What are you looking at?”
That gave Thalia a shock. When she saw them, she frowned and asked, “What are the two of you doing here?”
Anthony said with confidence, “We saw you sneaking out, so we followed you.”
“How come I didn't notice the two of you?”
“That's how talented we are!”
Thalia did not think too much about it. When she saw that there was no one ahead, she immediately walked over.
The two boys followed her. “What are you up to?”
“I'm following someone.”
“Who?” asked Anthony.
“Who else can it be other than him?”
“Mr. Dave?”
Upon reaching a bend, Thalia hid against the wall and took a peek. She saw that the person was still there, so she waited.
At that moment, Benjamin popped his head out and saw the figure. He turned and informed Anthony, “It's Mr. Dave.”
Anthony looked at her and asked, “Why are you following Mr. Dave?”
“Shouldn't both of you be asking what he is doing out so late?”
Only then did realization dawn on the boys.
That's right!
It is indeed very suspicious.
The two boys also looked in the same direction. The trio saw Dave going around another corner, so they followed him.
Anthony asked, “Where do you think Mr. Dave is going at this hour?”
Thalia responded, “We will find out in a short while, won't we?”
Benjamin looked up at her and asked, “What makes you decide to tail Mr. Dave?”
“When I went downstairs for a smoke, I saw him sneaking around. Of course, I have to follow him,” replied Thalia.
Benjamin smiled when he heard that. He then stuck his head out to see where Dave was heading when Dave stopped in his tracks all of a sudden and looked in their direction.
Thalia quickly pulled him back.
The three of them leaned against the wall and dared not move.
