Chapter 14 - Night Bird (Part 2)

Previously in Code: Fearless...

After checking the pharmaceutical records, I do not find anything related to the venom… so I go back to the beginning and star searching the web again for something that might lead me to that ambulance, in that moment in a Japanese social network someone reported finding an ambulance completely wrecked and abandoned in the middle of nowhere… Huh?

-Chess: What?! Are you fucking kidding me>

Hey…, but what the fuck is this… What the hell happened to this ambulance? Was it destroyed in the middle of a terrorist attack to take out the Agent completely or was it destroyed to hide all evidence of what happened? According to Agent Guty's reports, the Japanese government is trying at all costs to cover up and hide what is happening inside the school, but destroying an ambulance just because it was transporting a poisoned person seems too much…

-Chess: Ah… this is too much even for me…

I roll in my bed from one side to another making weird sounds, this is the first time that my mind is confused with something, it's a very nasty feeling which I hope does not turn into a habit, after a brief minute I remain in silence hugging one of my pillows…

-Chess: I want to know more…

I resume my investigation about the incident, unfortunately that was all I found…, I reached a dead end…, the best would be to move on and leave this for later, maybe then I can find more information…

-Chess: Then… hmm…

I continue reading the reports with I completely devours as if they were cookies, they are perfectly detailed and my brain cells dance with each work, then… we have two dead specialists, which almost killed each other… hmm…

-Chess: Let's take a look at the recordings…

I hack the monitoring room checking the video recording from inside the room, apparently Agent Guty has checked them before, according to the computer's registry…

-Chess: Hmm…

The recording doesn't have anything or worth, neither do the dialogs, they simply started arguing for no reason and ended up killing each other…, it makes no sense…, let's see what the exterior recording shows…

-Chess: Here it is…

The only thing that can be seen is how the agent leaves the room and then returns about an hour later…, I find another dead end…

-Chess: That's what they want me to believe…

One would think there is nothing more to it, I imagine that agent Guty was stranded there, however I will not give up so easily, there is a very important clue and something so absurd as the area limitation will not stop me…

-Chess: First I must know if Agent Carter left the building…

I checked the building's surroundings finding out that many shops and locals are located around it, so I hacked their security cameras and started searching quickly for one that is looking to the building's entrance.

-Chess: Bingo! This one is directly looking into the entrance… then… if the agent left the monitoring room approximately 10 minutes ago… he shouldn't take long to come out…

Just as I thought, the agent had gone out the building at that time, it's impossible that the agent chose to kill his partner out of the blue like that, there must have been a powerful reason to do it…, I carefully observe the path the agent takes.

-Chess: Hmm? He is heading towards the school…

The agent is directing himself peacefully to the school, which excites me, since the school is full of cameras…

-Chess: Could it be that I will catch the killer before you do Agent…?

From what I can see Guty only limited himself to watch the recording from within the monitoring room and ruled out any possibility of evidence when he lost sight of the agent, so he did not check the rest of the recordings… he has the evidence right in his hands, but he just doesn't know it…

-Chess: It can't be…

I continue to follow agent Carter in his path, until he reaches a destination…

-Chess: The nursing office?

When he arrives, he speaks with the nurse, telling her that he suffers from a headache and that he hopes that she can give him something for the pain, to which the nurse kindly hands him a couple of pills… which he doesn't hesitate to take…, afterwards he thanks her for her help and peacefully goes back to the monitoring room…

-Chess: The nurse? For real?

Bit by bit the agent starts behaving strangely in his way back, he can be seen upset for some reason, he even kicks a trash can…, whatever it was that the nurse gave him it disrupted his mind and made him aggressive…, which ended in that tragic outcome…

-Chess: How strange… I really wasn't expecting that…

The nurse drugged the agent and made them kill each other…, despite having the evidence… there is still something that doesn't add up…

-Chess: Something is wrong with all this…

I will make a summary of the videos and will send them to his computer so he may see them with detail, perhaps Guty will think of something…, by not being present in that zone my actions are limited, maybe Guty will appreciate the details better…

-Chess: I will let him know with a text on his cellphone…

I send him a message to his mobile phone indicating where I will place the video, I don't know what time is over there, but I guess he will read it at some point…

-Chess: I think it has been enough for today…

Sleep comes to me, so I decide to turn everything off and sleep for a few hours…, the following morning, I resume my day normally there are a few things I must do and a Sushi to go get, throughout the day many thoughts of what may be happening in Japan assault my mind, however I try to not give it too much importance, I don't wish to be hooked up on that all day.

When the night comes… it's time for Night Bird begins her flight, so I catch up with everything that has happened so far, I carefully ready all the reports from Guty's computer, apparently, he hasn't read my text message…, so I will have to wait a bit longer.

-Chess: Hmm? Brawl?

I started searching about it and found out that a big brawl broke out withing the college exactly at lunchtime, so I inspected the video to find out what caused it all, hmm? It's exactly the same thing that happened with agents Carter and Milton…, in that case, everyone must have been drugged… but how? How can you drug so many people at the same ti…?

-Chess: With the damn food!

It's a pretty obvious answer, the students were drugged with the food made in the kitchen of the cafeteria, right? That's why it all happened there… once that the students were drugged, they started to fight each other…, which means the nurse used those pills again to initiate the conflict…

Without losing a second, I start to check the recordings of the kitchen, observing how the head cook pours some weird material inside the food…, wait, wasn't the head cook gone missing?

-Chess: Or maybe she just stayed hidden for a while…

Upon continuing checking the recording I closely look at the head cook, everything seems as if that was her only intention, after pouring the drug in the food, she left the school as quickly as possible… How is it that the specialist in the monitoring room didn't realize this? I think they are more focused on the bloody scenes and such…, if they think that just following blood trails will get them to the killer, they are very wrong. Those specialists will not find the killer even if it was standing in front of them.

-Chess: Hmm… the only thing those agents are good for is to avoid those bloody scenes from happening…

The discovery of the janitor was a brilliant deduction, the way to tie what happened with the people involved was excellent… I was not expecting any less from Guty, I am intrigued how bright his intellect is…, the only missing piece to close the loop of the killings is the death of the agents which I sent him…

-Chess: Come on Guyt!

The only thing you have to do is read the message I sent, once again I make a summary of the video of the head cook and save it in his computer right next to the previous file, once I'm done I send him a text to his cell, this time I hope he has the decency to read it…

-Chess: I think that's it for today…

Tomorrow there will be no class apparently, I wonder what I will do with all the free time…, I was already hooked with this, is like a drug, best to stay away from this for a while or I will go mad with all this suspense, I don't know how Guty endures so much pressure… Hmm...

-Chess: I wonder what he is like…

I jump from my bed to my chair and with a quick move of my hands I make pictures out of the videos from the surveillance cameras, then I send them to my computer…

-Chess: So, this is Agent Guty…

I gaze one of the pictures looking at him detailly, he is more attractive than I thought…

-Chess: Hmm…

The arrow from my computer mouse slips toward the printing button by itself and the picture starts being processed by my printer.

-Chess: It printed on its own!

I think I am crazier than a goat… normally I do not take a lot of interest in people, usually I use them to satisfy my needs… and then I move on with my life, its not that I have met many Gutys in my life… in fact good brains are exactly what we need in these days…

-Chess: Oh Guty… tell me your secrets…

I lay on my bed as I look his picture in the darkness, I think the more I see this picture the more attractive I find him…

-Chess: It's a trap!

I throw the picture away while I close my eyes, the best thing would be not to think about this for a while…

-Chess: Damn it… I have photographic memory…

The day off goes by without relevance, not a single soul went near the school in the whole day, I think no one is so dumb to expose themselves like that, but this silent day isn't more than the calm before the storm, it's enough time for the killer to reorganize his crew and find a way to keep attacking, in this war the king has just lost his most precious pieces, without a solid strategy bit by bit Guty will end up sieging him and he knows it…

-Chess: Although I think he still has plenty of tricks up his sleeve…

We have only seen the tip of the iceberg, the worst part hides under the surface…

-Chess: I think I'll get a frappe…

The following day classes resume giving start to the fifth day, there is little time before the deadline expires… I wonder if he can really put everyone against Guty… or maybe he has something else in mind.

While I was watching the cameras of the school, I could not find anything of relevance, it seems today will be an uneventful day, it seems that the killer is up against the wall and he has no chance of making any moves of his own…, in that moment I see that the principal arrives to school in a car coming at full speed…

-Chess: Where is the principal going in such hurry…?

He parks the vehicle in his reserved spot, then he opens the door and descends walking fast…

-Chess: Perhaps he is late…

The principal heads over to the school with a fast pace, in that moment he pulls out his phone from his pocket answering a call.

-Chess: Hmm… this could be interesting…

Taking the name of the principal from the information stored in Guty's computer, it takes me only a few seconds to hack the signal and filter the audio conversation.

-Minister: Then, proceed as we agreed… when everything is ready, call me to clear the evidence.

-Principal: Very well, sir I will invite agent Guty to my office and once he is there, I will shoot him dead…

-Chess; What?!
