Chapter 17 - Allies or Enemies (Part 3)

Scene 26: in the supervision room:

Ka Di and the others hurl at the room, when they arrive, they found Jay anxious!!

Ka Di: where are they? İs this another play of yours?

Jay looks to Si La suspiciously and then she turns looking at him and Arrey!! She says: we are not the ones who prepare plays, shall İ say more to you Ka Di Akman?

Arrey: İ knew you're abnormal!! Especially that witch!!!

Jay: whatever, Let's find them soon!! She calls them to see one of the CCTVs ...

Si La and Si Da walking around the mall and there was a man with a face mask and a cap following them… when Si La and Si Da arrive close to the restaurant ..the man took a phone and made a call…

Ka Di: so it is this man who kidnapped her? But who is he?

Jay: look to the other video, in the same time, they see Si La answering her phone.

Everyone looks at her!!

Ka Di: did you receive a call from the kidnappers?

Si La stutters remembering the voice who asked her to leave the place…

Ka Di: Si La did you receive a call?

Si La: yes, but it was Mr. Ow from the company. She shows them her phone and it was him...

Jay says that they should carry on watching the next CCTV while after coming out the restaurant, another man was following them... Si La was anxious to see her scared face when she received the call… but she was standing against the camera…

Ka Di: he is another man, not the one we saw earlier.

Arrey: how did you know? They are hiding their faces... and they wear the same cloths.

Ka Di: no look, the first is taller; the second is hurt in his hand, look how when the wall touched him, he stopped and hold his hand!

Arrey: yes!! You watched it only once!! How did you know??

Ka Di carries on watching…

Si La to Jay: why are you looking for Si Da not your sister? Why are you searching our recordings?

Ka Di: is it from work again Si La?

Si La nods without replying…

Arrey to Jay: so the kidnappers are these two men, how is the witch related to this?

Jay looks at him angrily: her name is Amie!! Remember her name!!!

Then she says to them: "didn't you observe something?"

Arrey and Si La: what?

Ka Di looking attentively in the video!! Then he says: here she is!!

Si La and Arrey: who? Si Da?

Ka Di explains: no! Amie Bitt. She was following the men since the beginning.

Arrey: wh..where is she??

Ka Di: 'look at the mirrors in the shops!'; they replay the video to the first man, while Si Da was standing watching the shops …Amie appeared in one of the shop's mirrors.

İn the second video, Amie stood next to the mirror looking at Si La and the man!! Then she left to follow Si Da.

Arrey: wait what was she doing in the first vid after the man left?

They followed attentively in the video

Jay: she left a message!! She shows them a photo Jay took from the place:

Amie wrote: "it's not a play!! Call him"

Ka Di: so! She told you to call me!!

Jay: here is the problem; I know that she can solve the problem alone and save her all alone! But she wanted to call you!! So I thought that there might be something only the two of you know?

Ka Di looking to Arrey… while Arrey thinking: "she knows about him as well?"

Ka Di: did she leave other messages??

Jay: yes one for me!!

Ka Di: let's be allies for now!! Let's share details of this case!!

Jay: why should İ trust you then?

Ka Di with a serious look: because you trust Amie!!

Jay looks at him … and then shows him a message from Amie: she sent her a picture of an orchid flower!!

Arrey: what's this? Are you joking!! How could this be a message…

Ka Di remembers in company's parking Lot while Jay said to Amie that she made a special touch on Amie's pants, he observed the orchid flower..

Then Ka Di says: who are you going to protect this time?

Jay: you understood that!!

Ka Di: weren't you protecting her that day? You even lost your work for her!! How do I call this? A motherly love?

Jay keeps silent for a moment and then she murmurs: "that's why she is hopeful in you!! Please do not let her down!"

Ka Di what do you mean??

Jay: this is Bitt's sign, she asked me to protect mom.

Ka Di looking at her... then says "never mind!!"

Si La looking confused!! She thinks: "I thought they knew each other from the case of Si Da at the company!! But it seems İ have been sleeping all this time!! İ thought I was the closest one to him, but actually İ am the farthest!!! She looks sadly to him…'KaDi ..!" she murmurs

At this moment two mall agents came in! They brought two phones:

Si La: that's Si Da's phone.

Jay: Amie's phone!!!

Arrey: I understand she is a primary teacher, but the salary in the school where she works can help her get a better phone?

Jay: looks at him: as if you are born as a rich second generation kid; aren't you just a small assistant?

Ka Di cuts the fight and asks the agents: where did you find them?

The agents: they were in the women's restroom. They were ringing all the time, so we received complaints, when we went there we found them there in addition to these clothes.

They show them the clothes and they were Amie's and Si Da's. Everyone is worried...

Jay: are you the ones who called her? Why was your sister's phone ringing?

Arrey: I called her thrice but she didn't reply…

Ka Di says that he was calling but stopped when Jay called them. He called about 5 times...

Jay: it means they called to her phone?

Ka Di and others: why? Did they leave it in a purpose?

Ka Di: no!! They won't expose their numbers!!

Jay: let's see the number!!

They try, but they couldn't do anything, because the screen was locked with a passcode.

Si La: I can help, Si Da told me about her passcode: 22.10. 2009...she opens it..

Ka Di asking: how close are you from Si Da?

Si La: I know her since school, it's enough to know everything about her.

Ka Di: yeh!! You were like this with Lu Di as well at school, weren't you?

Si Da stuttering:: y..ye..yes!

Jay was looking at her questioning the truth.

Ka Di: what is the significance of this date then?

Si La: date?

Ka Di: the passcode is a date October 22nd, 2009.

Arrey: it was 13 years ago.. three months before the accident!!!

Ka Di, Arry, Si La looking at each other confused!! What was important to her that she doesn't want to forget ??

Jay: hey wake up.. what is the number?

They search for the last number which called and there was a private number. They couldn't locate the number.

Jay: I think we need to call the police, I called you hoping that you have a way to locate your sister!!

Arrey: we thought you are behind this?

Si La: they? Why?

Arrey looking to Ka Di: it is just a play between them and us!!

Jay: you started the game, we're just playing it till end!!

Si La couldn't understand what they are talking about, but couldn't ask more because finding Si Da was more important to her.

Arrey, Jay and Si La agreed to call the police..

Arrey: Ka Di?

Ka Di was watching the CCTV again and again!! Ka Di asked a piece of paper from the security agent.

Arrey: Ka Di? What's going on?

Ka Di asks the security agent to reply the vid,

Ka Di: showing them…"look guys!!!! Look at Amie …she was walking and touching mirrors in a weird way.

Everyone were attentive…

Arrey: yes!! I didn't observe this from the beginning but she really does. Why is she doing so?

They check again.

She knocks on them?? The three say..

Jay: she knocked on the door at the very beginning twice.. look(she rewinds the video at the beginning)

Arrey: yes.. here is the second ..she knocks the shops' door 5 times… what does she mean?

Ka Di: she is transmitting us a message…

Everyone: what?

Ka Di: the number of knocks are representing the number of the letter.

The first knock twice it means it is "b", the second 5 knocking was "e" so "be" ..

Others then… let's see the numbers, so "b.. e.. c..a..r..e..f..u..l"

"We shall call the police….she says be careful" the three said..

Ka Di interrupts them: No… look here… In this video she didn't knock, but she stopped, and played with children!!

Jay: she is a teacher at primary school, isn't it normal for her to act this way?

Ka Di: yes, but look her game was different. She didn't knock, but … Hummm.. look the kids were playing in a circle turning around. Then here she stops them. She aligned them.. one hold the other from behind. Like a train…she asks them to start walking, but the kids weren't going in the same direction which caused the train wagons to crash and the train is destroyed, the kids were blaming each other…

Amie asks the children to hold hand in hand ... Then she asks one of the boys to lead them ..,

The kid's train was walking and kids were happy." Ka Di explained to them ...

Amie smile to them and looks to the place of the camera with a serious face.

Arrey: why is she looking at us…

Si La: she is saying to follow her lead...

Arrey: sorry!!

Si La: she tells us that she knows that we are going to watch this cctv,.. we need to be like the children.. work hand in hand and follow her lead to succeed in saving Si Da …

Ka Di: yes… she knew where the cctv is placed in this mall!! But how?

They looked to Jay... Jay said that they come usually to this place ….but she wondered what the real message of Amie was.

Ka Di looks to the CCTV and looks to Arrey... Arrey couldn't understand.

Ka Di: you take Si La home, Arrey, it might be dangerous on her since she was with Si Da.

Si La: no!! I want to stay until the police comes... I want to know where Si Da is…

Ka Di after a silent period of time...I won't call the police.

Arrey, Jay and Si La astonished: what?

Ka Di: I know what I am doing!! Just trust me.

Si La: is your decision related to the message of this girl?

Ka Di didn't answer.

Si La: how could you trust someone you barely know!! She might be the one who planned all this.

Ka Di: just trust me!! I know what I am doing.

Si La refused to go!! Arrey as well.

Si La: if I go home now, they will ask me about Si Da, what shall I say to grandpa?!! What will my aunt say about that??

Arrey: she is right, your grandpa's health is not good these days, and you know that!!

Ka Di thinks then says: then do not block my way and do not ask many questions.

Si La and Ka Di: yes yes ...

Jay was observing Si La. Si La looks at her questioning who they are.

Jay to Ka Di: why did you change your mind?

Ka Di heh?

Jay: you said you were about to call the police when I called you, why did you change your mind?

Ka Di looks to the paused video on Amie's challenging and serious face. "I want to try it"

Jay: heh?

Ka Di with a low voice: "trusting someone other than Lu Di"

Si La looked worriedly after hearing the name Lu Di. JAY OBSERVING HER.

Jay thinking: could it be that she expected this since that time? After all these years together, I can't get through her mind!! But İ still trust her, with all my heart and brain!! Coz she is Amie!! Amie that none knows except me!! Even if …I know little about her!! But this little makes this Amie!!!

She remembers when they entered the mall and they were wandering when they saw Si Da sitting alone in the dinner table waiting for someone.. Then Amie left.. Jay stayed to watch Si Da.

Jay: she might be suspecting SI LA then!!

Ka Di interrupts her thoughts and says: let's go to search for more evidence, am sure Amie left something!

Jay: am sure she did.. let's look in different places to not waste time.

They agreed on the plan and they left except for Ka Di, who insisted on watching again the CCTV and search from here.
