The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 90

The triplets were far away in kindergarten, leading class activities. Harvey noticed his watch was suddenly blinking red as he was watching his younger brothers and sisters play. The other two also noticed it, understood that something wasn't right, and hastily moved forward. When the three of them got together, everyone had a grave expression on their faces. "This red light, Sammy, should be from Mommy, right? Did something happen?"

"Sammy, you placed this tracker for Mommy. It's for contact in an emergency. It has never been used by Mom. Does Mummy face any threats?" Sammy frowned before taking his phone out of his school bag. He quickly discovered Neera's current position. "Mommy is at the Royal Hotel right now!" Harvey and Penny were a little taken aback when they heard this. "Why did Mommy go to the Royal Hotel? Was she on her way to something?"

"Then Mommy should be going to her aunt's company. Why did she go to that location and then send a distress signal?"

While the triplets were having conversations, Harvey sensed someone peering at them in the dark. He instantly turned around and glanced out the window. Outside the school, he noticed a man staring at them! He became alert in an instant, moved his body, guarded his smaller brothers and sisters behind him, and then continued to observe. He saw that there were suspicious-looking people wandering in different directions outside the kindergarten. He interrupted the discussion between the two and told them in a low voice, "Someone is staring at us." Sammy and Penny heard this, looked around, and got cautious.

The triplets returned to the classroom calmly, as if they hadn't noticed anything. They gathered after taking their seats. "Something must have happened to Mommy! What should we do next?"

"There are two things we have to do right now; the first thing needs to be done by Penny," their eldest brother Harvey said.

"I will do as you say," Penny said.

"You will pretend to have a stomach ache," Harvey stated as he nodded.

"We'll accompany you to the teacher. The teacher will take us to the infirmary. As for the second thing..."

The triplets soon started acting. Harvey was right. When the teacher saw Penny gripping her stomach and yelling in pain, she quickly took Penny to the infirmary. Harvey and Sammy, Penny's two elder brothers, would undoubtedly follow. While others were unaware of Sammy's presence in the infirmary, he accessed the computer in the school medical room and hacked the kindergarten's monitoring. Finally, he confirmed that suspicious individuals were positioned at the front and back doors but not at the side door. Harvey then contacted Zuniga, who was at home, saying, "Auntie Zuniga, Penny isn't feeling well; Mommy's phone can't get through; can you come and pick us up?"

When Zuniga heard it, she agreed right away. In around twenty minutes, Zuniga showed up. She took the triplets home after asking for their leave. However, just as they were about to leave, the triplets grabbed Zuniga and exited the building via a side door. She was confused but didn't ask anything. She then intended to take a taxi home.

After getting into the car, Harvey said to the driver, "We are going to the Royal Hotel; please drive faster, please!"

"Didn't you mention Penny is feeling ill?" Zuniga inquired suspiciously as she turned to face the triplets in the back row. "Why are we not returning home? What are your plans for that hotel?"

"Auntie Zuniga, my stomach doesn't hurt at all," Penny stated. "I did this to find Mommy! Mommy seems to have been taken to that hotel and sent us a signal. We have no idea what is going on. But we need to go over there and find her!"
