The Peculiars’ Tale
Chapter 41
/41/ Encounter
"Sentral Police Headquarters? This is--- HEY!"
"Have you gone crazy?! Why are you going to tell the police that Tadeo is with us?!" Tamaki shouted after snatching Ireneo's phone. For sure, this guy is losing his sanity again because he's actually planning to inform the police about Tadeo's whereabouts.
"Sooner or later they will also know where he is! And we will be accused of being his accomplices if we won't do anything to deny any involvement. We should not cover up for him!"
"What did you say!?" Tamaki held him up by grabbing his collar. Baldo tried to stop him but it seems Tamaki really had his blood boiling now for our class president.
"Ireneo, are you telling us that Tadeo had become a criminal?"Sabina asked.
"Let go of me!" He forcibly shoves away Tamaki's hands from his lapel. "Do you think the police will believe us?! Or him?!" He even pointed a finger towards Tadeo.
"Where did your brain go to, huh, Ireneo?! Tadeo is not guilty of anything!" Aya defended.
I only stare at them who are still continuing their arguments. I didn't speak... because I'm pondering about what will happen. I can somehow understand Ireneo since he's just acting practically. Tadeo's case is not something to ignore. It's a serious one. I want to sigh when I thought of how Stephen is also in an unknown situation and on how Memoire staged all of this.
"Jill?" The one beside me spoke. It's Penelope who also refuses to join their little debate. "Have you thought of any plan? Do you also think that it's better to hand Tadeo over to the authority? Can't he just say he's not actually involved with those illegal traffickers?
"Things are not that simple, Penelope. Even Tadeo's desire to save Stephen is also a complicated matter." This is not a video game or an action movie. Our lives will be in danger. Also, the Caleb Perez' incident might happen again and it's an incident where we can do nothing about aside from being helpless.
"Stop this! Don't fight with each other!" They stopped their arguments due to Tadeo's shout. How lucky of us that at least there are no guards roaming around to patrol so no one aside from us heard the noises created here. "Fine, Ireneo! Tell the police that I'm with you all! However, before they take me away, I'll come for Stephen even by myself! I don't give a damn if none of you will go with me. But I promise not to return unless Stephen is with me and unless my name is cleared with any guilt!" He tried leaving but I stop him.
"You're not going anywhere by yourself, Tadeo."
Maybe it's already time to face them, those people behind every machination. "This is not because I feel like playing a hero part... We can't really leave Stephen to suffer wherever he is right now. Moreover, Tadeo won't be able to clear his name if we won't move. However..." they have been controlled by Caleb Perez once. I don't dare think what can happen to them if they will charge with me towards those people's den. Tell me, how to use my power in this kind of situation? I know this is the only thing I have which can help us, but I'm still afraid to look at their eyes and see any unfortunate events. What if it's not fated and there's actually no way to save them? "...it's too dangerous. We don't have any means to fight."
They can't refute my point. Probably they also realized that it's not that easy to go after and save Stephen. They don't even know what kind of situation he's currently facing.
"I'll go no matter what you say." Tadeo stubbornly persisted. He's almost walking out the room when we heard the siren from the outside.
"Shit!" We eyed Baldo who is peeping through the window. "T-they come!"
