Two days ago..
Mayumi has brought Anita to her home after finishing their daily bike routine, she was about to go home when suddenly she was stopped by an emotion she felt. She went further into an isolated road and there someone is already waiting for her.. hiding in the trees..
"How did you found me..?" Mayumi is roaming her eyes, she cannot see who is talking
"I just passed by here.. but I'm on my way home.."
Suddenly a quick swift stroke her bike.. it came from a blade.. it suddenly became unusable... Mayumi tried to run.. but a blade stroke her.. she fell on the ground..
A guy came to him.. and took all her bracelet and necklace.. destroyed it with his feet
""Forgive me.., I just need to finish my mission.." the guy whispered..
As he pointed his sword to Mayumi..
Meanwhile at present time..
All the four friends of Mayumi is inside the hotel room.. a lady with a mask is inviting them to sit in.. all of them were uncomfortable with the woman.. as if a weird feeling resonates her.. but before even they came near.. Vincent the woman's assistant turned on a device which emits a piercing sounds, disturbing to the ear.. all the four is annoyed, and Vincent lowered the volume..
"Sorry for the sound, but you'll get used to it.. like I said.. there are many eyes and ears listening.. so their signals need to be jammed.."
The guys are feeling weird and unconvince...
"Woman.. please get to the point.. we need to know where Mayumi is.."
"It's true.. we only have a little time to talk now so I'll get straight to it.., please sit down.."
"You want to know where your friend is.. but don't you know that you need to know more from me…. You all come from the same origin, you six.. including Mayumi.. and the other one.. what they call Red Lightning.."
"Do you have any memories of your childhood? "Do you know your real parents..?" (the guys where shocked at the statement.. their head cannot remember anything related to their childhood and it seems all of them are the same).
"My mother said my father and I had an accident.. that's why I lost all my childhood memories.. and my father died.." Charles sadly announced to everyone his story.. but he himself appears to be unconvinced with it now.
"My dad appears to say the same.. my mom died at an accident.. and my memory was gone because of it.." Philip was confused looking at everyone..
"Richard and I were just adopted.. but we don't remember anything.. about our childhood.. the person who raised us just said we had an accident, so that's why.."
"..it seems like destiny has brought you all together to meet again.. and to join forces.. wait another proof.. did your parents give you anything important that you should always carry with you.." the mysterious lady added..
They all looked at each other..
This necklace... it's said that my father's ashes are here.. (Charles sigh..)
This watch.. which is a gift from my mother.. (Philip)..
"We also have a necklace.. it's the only thing our real parents left.. our Dad said we should always wear it.. for good luck.." (the siblings answered)
"Do you know there are wire tapping and tracking devices inside those.. so you can be constantly observed..?" the lady declared and all of them were angry and shocked..
"Wait a minute, don't disrespect our parents.." "Wait, are you kidding us..?!"
"I can't break the necklaces.. but your watch.. we can open it and show you the tracking and bug device.. don't worry.. my associate here, Vincent, is an expert in that.. and even in watches like that..."
"No.. don't even dare.., no one can touch this watch.., this is way too expensive.." Philip was firm for anyone not to touch his watch.. but the guys are looking fierce at him..
"Vachron Constantin Automatic Watch B439, Swiss made watch from 1995.." Vincent declared and they were amazed.. "see I'm an expert to watches one look and I already know.. I promise I will return it to you good as new.. as if nothing happened.."
Vincent then started opening the watch.. he placed it in a fine white cloth.. laid his small tools as well.. and wore his small magnifying glass.. there he is able to open and detach a very small black device somewhat a modern chip but too small.. "see your clock is still working even if we remove this.. it means.. it is an alien piece.. and this is indeed a tracking device.."
"Please don't put it back.." Philip whispered.. "Are you sure? They will notice it.. they will be alarmed" "No problem.. I don't care about this lady's story.. I just don't want to be tracked"
All of them are shocked.. as if what the lady confesses are all true.. then all about their life is just a lie.. they were all quiet.. and shocked.. it is somehow a truth they cannot bear..
"Because right now our time is limited, that's all I can say.., and what you want most right now.. is the location of your friend.. …here.."
The mysterious lady hand over three pieces of notes..
"We don't know her exact location.. but these are the ones I know she could be taken to… maybe one of these is where she was hidden.."
"San Fernando.." "It's far.. Philip, use your car.. go here.."
"Guagua.." "Okay, I'll go there.." I can ride a bike that fast..!!" Henry yelled..
"Mount Bu-Tu, Porac.." okay, I'll borrow a motorbike.. I'll go there.. Charles volunteered and Richard looked at Philip.. "Looks like I'll give you a ride, bro.."
They hurriedly agreed to leave and reach the locations listed.. But they looked back at the mysterious lady..
"I don't know if I'll believe what you're saying.. but I hope this, the location you gave is correct.." Charles is very serious to the lady..
"I wish, all you are saying is a lie.. except this location of course" Philip is serious as well..
"However.. I hope this won't be our last meeting.." Charles suddenly added..
"I know.. you still have many questions for yourself.. but this is not the right time to answer them all.." the lady stood up as well..
They then continued their run. "I hope next time we meet you won't be wearing a mask.!!" Henry shouted..
Vincent and the lady were left in the room.. "Quick let's leave this place.." the lady instructed..
The four guys rushed each towards their own way..
"Charles's feeling very heavy.. as he headed home.. he looked very sad.. he quickly went to his cousin to beg as he needed to borrow his old motorcycle.. which without hesitation lend him, when he is about to go.. he saw his mother.. who looked at him at a distance.. his mother also looks very sad.. "Where are you going my son..?"
"This will just be quick mother, I will be home quickly.." Charles looked at his mother and left with urgency.. but as he is driving the motorcycle his emotions is building up.. he remembered all the time his mother is taking care of him.. teaching him everything, since his memories are all wiped out, his mother taught him diligently how to read, how to talk how to do everything, she has devoted her life for Charles.
She helped him fully recover and until his studies and review for the acceleration exams, encouraging him to study hard for his future, cooking his favorite meals and treating him when he is sick.. Charles then cried loudly.. as if he is not in a public road.. wondering in his head.. ("How could that pure love be ever untrue..?")..
Meanwhile, Henry was already biking very fast.. and all this thought is running on his mind as well.. all the memories of his mother all the words she taught him.. as well as his kind father.. but it's all Ok, he knew he is already adopted, all he know is that he has to face anything with courage..
While Philip and Richard was all quiet.. Philip is driving his fast car.. but running on his mind is all his memories with his Dad, playing together computer games, his dad teaching him how to fish and how to drive.. it was all fun.. but now it is all sadness.. thinking it is all not true.. and that a device is installed to stalk on him.. along with the sadness is the worry that is all his life is a lie.. and what is the real truth..?
("I really want you to be my dad.. no other else.."), Philip seems to wipe clean his teary eyes.. trying to conceal his emotions so that Richard will not notice.
Richard looked at the note on his hands.. "1283, Zamora street San Fernando Pampanga"..
"I will set this on my google map.."
They arrived at the place and it seems an old abandoned house, they tried to sneak inside.
Henry also arrived at Guagua Pampangga.. and asked anyone there.. showing his note.. where is the exact location.. until he was pointed to a small school.. and when he was sure it was the place.. he went inside to inquire and have a look..
Charles on the other hand, stopped in a roadside... when he saw nobody is around.. he cried aloud and shouted.., he then wiped his tears, and placed in his phone to know the exact GPS location of what the lady gave..
"4C48+HFJ Villa Maria, Porac, Pampanga - Mount Bu-Tu" wait this is a Plus code address, Charles then typed it to his google map and saw the exact location.. he called his guys..
A group video call..
"Brothers.. my place, it's far.. there's trekking.. maybe later I'll leave the motorbike at the foot of the mountain.. and trail by foot, there.. How's the situation there?"
"Here it seems nothing.. this is a big abandoned mansion.. but there is nothing here but dirt.. we have searched all around.." Philip yelled..
"Here.. there is just a small school.., and it seems like no one is hiding here.. in fact there are still students here.. nothing unusual.."
"Okay.. I'll call you later.. I'll ride my motorbike for a bit.. you can follow me here immediately when you're done there, I'll send you the location.. I have a strong feeling that Mayumi is here on the mountain.." (he recalled the vision he had when looking through the eyes of Mayumi) Charles ended the call and rode back the motorcycle and drove fast..
He reached the foot of the mountain.. but the vehicles are prohibited to move forward.. so he has no choice but to climb the stiff mountain.. he messaged the group chat to come over now..
So he then persevered.. looking at his mobile phone pointing at the very direction he needed.. even if the path is narrow, rocky and sometimes slippery.. he just continued on what his phone is saying.. until it declared that he is only 50 meters away from the location.., so then he became more alert as he moved forward.. and as he is nearing the destination.. he saw there is a huge tall tree.. where a wooden house is built atop.. exactly the same as his vision.. he then ready himself and messaged their group chat.. "Possitive quickly come here, and call on the rescue"
Just underneath the tree a guy is standing tall.. appears to be thinking deep.. but when Charles look closer he is wearing a red cape, and black dress.. and seems to resemble "Red Lightning" Charles is in shock seeing a supposed brave and strong Hero on the place..
"He bold himself.. stood and walked.. I need to hurry and face this guy.. I know Mayumi is in danger.."
