Chapter 161 - Preparation: Breaking The Big Boy In The Closet
Chapter 161 – Preparation: Breaking The Big Boy In The Closet
Thursday, 06.00 A.M.
I had woken up since 5 to prepare myself. Because I would be coming to school early, just like what I did with Kristen back then.
I was afraid that somebody would be coming in the middle of cold winter for whatever reason, which had happened to me with Mason Hall. That guy just popped out of nowhere and started asking me questions. Back then, I really thought that my revenge was over from the very start.
I texted Noah, telling him to get ready because we had to move as quickly as possible. Mom was out already, thankfully. Although I disliked Mom\'s work for taking all her time, it benefited me in some way.
At least I could do stuff like this without her questioning me.
I brought the request notes, and also 2 grands in cash, then I went out with my bike at 06.00 A.M.
It was cold today that my fingers started freezing even under the gloves. Thankfully, I had a hot pack inside my jacket pocket.
The moment I arrived at the school, the gate was already unlocked. The old security guard usually left it open because he would leave the school before dusk during winter, around 03.00 P.M.
He would just leave the gate unlocked, so the students could go out. I entered the school and then called Noah, wondering where he was right now.
After a few beeps, he finally picked up the call.
__Phone call__
"Hello, Em?"
"Where are you right now? I\'m already in the school, parking my bike inside."
"You should go and check the car parking. I\'ve been here for literal 30 minutes!" Noah said. "It\'s so cold outside, so I stay in my car instead."
__Phone call ends__
Thus, I checked the car parking space and found his car with the lights on. I rushed and knocked on the window.
"Get in first!" Noah said.
As I entered the car, I said, "Why are you still in here? We don\'t have much time. We need to put this request letter there."
"I know. I was going to stay near the abandoned storage. But when I walked towards that, I saw someone looking around, as if he was checking on something! I got scared, so I returned here!"
"Wait, someone? The old school guard?" I asked. I didn\'t expect anyone would be in the school at this hour, in the middle of cold winter.
"I don\'t know. But he is not the school guard. He is tall, wearing a thick black jacket, a black hat, and covered half of his lower face with a black mask. I can only see his eyes in the end," Noah informed. "And somehow, that man looks a bit unhinged, just… the way he looked around with his eyes—wouldn\'t lie though, his emerald eyes are just very pretty, it\'s so gorgeous that I was breathless for a long time. But other than that, I somehow got the feeling that he was smirking behind the mask, and the way he moved gave me this intimidating and creepy aura, like an emerald-eyed sociopath."
"Wait, emerald eyes?" I instantly remembered about one guy with emerald eyes.
"Yeah, his eyes are green, but it\'s just so beautiful and clear that I cannot help to get drowned by it."
…
That man was definitely the red rose man. I was sure of it. Nobody had emerald eyes around here.
I meant green eyes were fine, but both Grandma and Noah described the red rose man\'s eyes the same. He had emerald eyes that looked so damn gorgeous.
So, both Grandma and Noah must\'ve talked about the same person here.
What was that maniac doing in my school at this hour during winter?!
Was he trying to ruin my plan or exploit something? But I kind of doubted that because he said he would never harm me, and he would support me in any way possible.
So I bet he was doing something else.
I got scared as well. Just thinking about him and his random move made me worried that everything would crumble right in front of my eyes.
But the show must go on. I didn\'t want to delay longer, "Noah, for now, let\'s just forget that man. Don\'t worry about him, and let\'s just go to the storage to put this."
"What do you mean for us not to worry. That man looks intimidating! I\'m scared that he might be doing something against us!" Noah refused as he was scared.
I shook my head, trying to deny it, "Trust me, that guy won\'t do us harm."
"How did you know?"
"Because he is my sponsor, damn it!" I said out of frustration. Noah was stunned, but I didn\'t give him time to interview me. There was something more important right now.
I exited the car and walked in the direction of the abandoned storage. Noah followed me from behind, and when we arrived, there was no sign of Red rose man anywhere.
Both of us exhaled in relief. Even though I had come in contact with the Red rose man a few times already, but this nervousness hadn\'t disappeared yet. I was still scared that man would do something to my family and me.
We entered the abandoned storage room, and it was all dusty, cold and dusty at the same time, and there were two wooden boxes in the middle of the empty storage room, a red box and a green one.
"That red box is where you put your request, and the green one is to put your money," Noah instructed.
"Right," I took out the request note from my bag and then the 2000 dollars. I already made sure to wear my winter gloves just to prevent fingerprints.
Although I doubted they would do something as far as fingerprints inspection and something, it never hurt to be careful of everything.
I opened the red box put the request note inside.
Then, I opened the green box and put the money there.
I closed both and then asked Noah, "Do you think those bastards would come and take the request note from the red box after they read it?"
"Depends. If it\'s just a simple request complete with the downpayment, they would just take it and rip it. But if it has some promise or another deal in the note, they would usually keep it until they got more money. Just like what you wrote in the request, Em. You promised to give them more money as long as they can beat me until I\'m a bloody mess, right?"
"Yeah, and also, I did this for a mission, Noah. Not that I hate you or something."
"I know, I\'m just… nervous, I guess," Noah said.
I sighed as I knew his fear. If I was in his position, I would be terrified too.
"Think about it like the last mission, this is the last, and if it\'s successful, you will never need to endure the constant beating from those bastards."
Noah was silenced, probably because he knew that I was right.
"Well, since you said those bastards wouldn\'t take the note, I assume they will return here to take the tips, right?"
"Indeed, they always do that. I think I remember someone anonymous tipped Thomas and his gang about 3 grands in order to bully a guy until he was too traumatized to go to school, and in the end, had to get homeschooled with therapy.
…
So vile.
"Emmy, why are you asking this? About whether they will check this box again and such," Noah asked curiously.
My smirk widened as I giggled maliciously. I took out my phone and sent him a photo that I sent to Elise yesterday.
Noah checked his phone and his mouth gaped instantly. I sent him the second request note, "You… you\'re going to replace the one in the red box with this, right?"
"Yep, once they got caught, I bet they will say that they were told by anonymous to take a job. They thought it would at least exempt some of the sentences from them."
"And that\'s when I will strike with that. I will make sure they got a sentence for the real thing they did, and I already told Elise about it, telling her to come with Thomas, Jorge, and Jackson\'s victim before."
"You\'re going to ruin their lives forever, Em," Noah said.
"Yeah, so? Do you have any problem with that?" I asked.
"No, not at all. I\'m just surprised that you can come up with an idea like this. I really thought they\'d probably get into the juvenile centre for 2 or 3 years, and I had to move out as soon as they got released. But with the sexual assault allegation towards so many girls, I bet they will be inside the bars for a long time."
"Emmelyn Jones, you\'re seriously evil. I mean, good kind of evil, of course. Since you helped me."
"Well, thanks, Noah.. But for now, let\'s leave this place first before anyone finds out."
