"Where is Paul?" asked Liam coming into our secret base.
"Had an emergency. He will be here in half an hour," said Alex.
"Can you tell me why you called that day and asked us to be safe?" I asked as I wanted to know what was going on.
"Hmm... well I think it's best to wait till he comes. Because what I found was really shocking,"
"You mean?"
"I never knew my grandfather could be more deceitful," he almost gritted his teeth in anger.
From the looks of it, he was pretty angry and whatever he found out must be really bad. So till Paul comes we talked about this and that to pass our time.
"Sorry for being late guys," said Paul coming in.
"No worries," I said handing him some drinks.
"So what did you find?" asked Alex.
"First I want to know what Liam knows," he said turning to Liam.
"hmm.... well a few days ago I got a strange message - saying be aware- and this made me suspicious. So I tried to find out that there was another gang, but mysterious,"
"The same as the ones you found in the woods" added Paul.
"The best part is they came to meet me with a handwritten letter and my grandfather's personal seal on it," he gave us that letter.
This letter was absolutely a surprise. According to it. Senior Alexander had secretly trained another group of gangsters to carry on with the operation. But the problem is who is their leader and what is their motivation. This was something Liam had no clue as well as Marvik. The only clue we had was the same photo that Mr.William showed us - taken by Noah - they had a copy of it attached.
"What on earth is this doing here?" asked confused Alex.
"I have no idea," said Liam.
"One theory, they must have known Noah," said Paul after looking at us.
"What do you mean?"
"This photo was only with Noah, but now we find a copy of it with this letter. I think there must be some connection. Liam, are you sure this is grandfather's handwriting?"
"Looks the same to me,"
"I guess we need to get this checked. Do you have anything written by him?"
"Yes. I will bring it to you tomorrow,"
"What about the details you found Paul," I asked looking at the letter.
"It seems like a meeting spot or a resting area for the gang. And something I found was many don't visit or go hiking on the trails you guys used,"
"Why could it?" asked Alex.
"Because there are many attractions around like the flower garden and the park for kids. So that place was actually deserted except for a few like you,"
"A good hideout!" said Liam.
"Yes, and most convenient, with three access points," said Paul showing the map.
"And it's hidden right in the middle. Paul do you think they must be using it as a base?" asked Liam.
"Wait till you see these," and he gave us some photos to go through. We were shocked.
"I knew you will look like that," he said with a smile on his face.
"An underground bunker!!!"
"Yes. It was some kind of a meeting area with, all the guns and armor stocked inside," said Paul showing a video.
"Did you get any clue who could be it?" I asked.
"Liam, do you think you can guess if you know who this is, as you were close to Senior Alexander?"
He took some time to go through the photos they had found in that area. The more he looked his expression changed.
"Why do I feel this is a woman?" he said looking at us.
"Huh!"
"Yes, can you get these photos cleared a bit more?"
"So you mean this person looks similar to someone you know?"
"Could be but without properly checking I won't give a name," he said looking down at the photo in his hand.
"Ok I will get on checking these and get back to you guys in a few days. Till then you guys need to be safe and find out anymore clues," said Paul before leaving.
