The Biker Brothers And The Golden Baby 56 Sneaking Adventure Begins

"Dr. Alvarado loves being in the news so he should be there," Kiko said with conviction.

"I really hope we can find some answers," Tonton expressed his doubts. "We can't confront the man so that we can only get information by hiding somewhere and eavesdropping."

"We will find some answers," Bogart declared. "If not about Dr. Alvarado, then something about the lost s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. The first one landed in the school so there should be clues somewhere."

"Or we can get lucky and stumble upon something that can answer everything," Jamie said. "We just need to be very cautious."

"By the way, what was it felt like being healed by Loduvico?" Tonton changed the topic. "You did not talk about it after."

As they were riding their bikes, the three boys slowed down and looked at Jamie. He was silent, uncertain of how much he should be telling them.

"Well, when he healed us, I felt warmth coming from him," Bogart said. "It seems like his hands had some magical power that releases light and heals everything it touches."

"Yes, it was an uplifting feeling in the end," Kiko seconded. "But the difference was that he performed it to us a lot quicker than to Jamie. I think it was just few seconds for us, but it took minutes for Jamie. It felt like decades."

"It must be because Jamie was in a much worse condition than you, guys," Tonton said matter-of-factly.

"Possibly," Kiko agreed. "But what happened all that time? Did you just simply close your eyes?"

Jamie remained silent as he calculated how much he should be telling them. It was mid-afternoon and the sun's heat was putting much pressure to him.

"No, a lot has happened in that short time," he finally said. "It felt like my spirit was taken out of my body and made to experience something else in another dimension."

"Wow," Bogart gasped. "That's like a comics story."

"But I am telling the truth. While Loduvico was healing my physical body, my spirit was experiencing something else. I am aware about them all. I could remeber everything that happened."

Tonton: "And what have you experienced in that other dimension?"

"I can't talk about them. Lodu warned me of possible consequences if I told anyone about what I saw."

Bogart:"Oh come on, just give us some hints."

Jamie shook his head. He could not risk the future. Only then he realized that Mang Tomas and Loduvico were also not direct with their words. They had been preaching and prophesying for quite a time now but all the while, they were not speaking in plain words. They only gave parables, allusions, and cryptic messages, but nothing specific, concrete, and clear. Like him, they must have been also warned about their visions.

"I can't speak anything about it."

Tonton: "Was it really bad?"

Jamie nodded his head and said, "It is so bad that it could give me nightmares tonight."

Kiko: "Then it is really very bad. Sorry you have to go though it."

Bogart: "Well, I guess we will have to keep guessing."

Bogart laughed and the three joined him. Jamie began to relax, thankful that he was able to confide without giving so much details.

Tonton: "Well, I may still have visions later. Or maybe any one of us."

Bogart: "I will pa.s.s on that. I want to sleep soundly at night."

They chuckled. By then, they were nearing the school. They rode their bikes even slower, careful not to raise any suspension from the pa.s.sersby.

Bogart: "You know what, I felt like peeing. This adventure is kind of making me scared and anxious."

Kiko: "Thanks for saying that, I felt the same way, too."

Jamie: "Let's be very careful."

They finally arrived at the school gate. The concrete fence was high and so was the gate that they could not see anything behind them. Yet, they could her voices and rustling feet from inside the campus.

An ambulance showed up from a corner and approached the gate. Its siren was wailing loudly. Upon its arrival, the gate instantly opened and let it in. The boys were able to peek quickly through the open gate. People in protective gears were running around the camp while patients were sitting on a wheelchair or lying on beds in the open ground. The plastic walls of the isolation tents were also moving, as if some people were frantically running to and fro inside them. They looked closedly until the gate closed again.

Bogart: "There's a lot of people inside. That worries me."

Jamie: "That's why we should be extremely careful. We should not get caught."

Kiko: "Or be infected with the sick."

Jamie: "Let's go."

They moved farther away from the gate and stopped around a corner. Just few meters ahead, there was a vacant lot with nothing but overgrown gra.s.ses. There was a small hole in that part of the fence, small enough to fit small kids like them. There were also tall gra.s.ses on the other side of that fence so that the school management was unaware about it. That hole had been secretly used by the students if they wanted to cut cla.s.ses and left the campus. Only the kids knew about the hole, maybe some teachers also but they did not bother themselves. Since the gate was not open for everyone, they planned to sneak through the hole to gain entry to the isolation camp.

Tonton: "Guys, there is something I must do first."

Bogart: "What?"

Tonton: "I want to see that place."

He pointed a finger to somewhere far ahead of them.

Kiko: "What's out there?"

Tonton: "To the old building that will be converted into Dr. Alvarado's medical facility."

Bogart: "Is it there?"

Tonton: "Yes, there is only one old abandoned building in that street. I believe it is that building."

Jamie: "Why do you have to go there? Dr. Alvarado could not be there. His facility is still being constructed. "

Tonton: "It is hard to explain but my guts told me to visit the place. While we were watching the school gate a while ago, something whispered to me to go there. There could also be answers right there right now."

His friends pondered on his words. Tonton could also be right, considering that his visions and intuitions had been right before.

Jamie:" I am going with you. The two of us can go to the old abandoned building while Kiko and Bogart can go ahead of us inside the isolation camp."

Kiko: "Let's just go all together, first to the old building and then back here."

Bogart: "We will be more suspicious in that case. People will easily notice if there will be four of us instead of only two."

Tonton: "I agree, so it would be better if I go alone then join you guys later on."

Kiko: "That will be too dangerous for you."

Jamie: "That's correct. No more argument, I'm going with you while they go ahead."

Kiko and Bogart nodded their heads, and after an initial hesitation, Tonton finally agreed.

Jamie: "Wait for us near the school clinic. It should not take us so long before we can join you."

Kiko: "Let's keep our eyes wide open. The sun is still up and we can get caught easily."

Tonton: "We will be quick."

Bogart: "Alright, see you in a while."

Kiko and Bogart moved ahead with the plan and turned around the corner, while Jamie and Tonton continued through the street going to the old building. It was a slight detour from their plan but it could be worth it. Meanwhile, a black media car was also heading towards the isolation camp....
