HAMERTON 2

Thank you God for this opportunity.
Hallo new viewers and Happy weekend!

Hamerton. A large school offering the finest Education to the students of the state and overseas. Natalie joins this school arriving from Brooklyn and she has grief over her lost friends who were murdered in Hamerton. She teams up with Ingrid and their fellow seniors against the House of Representatives to prevent a bomb blast that could cause a large massacre.

Previously on Hamerton; Natalie is stressed about having Paula Moure back in her life. She tries to convince her Vice President to revoke the Hamerton constitution by breaking allegiance with the member schools of SOHOR. 

Simon was kidnapped. 

Trevor kept Caitlin from being killed by asking his friend to take away the calculator bomb from her.

Continue;

Trevor sat on a bench in the open of the University campus.

He was studying alone as he gradually bit from his favorite Five Guys Burger.

“Mm.” he said to the taste and swallowed.

Just then his phone buzzed in his trouser pocket and he fetched it.

“Hallow?” he called when he went on air with the caller.

“Trevor?” Kenneth’s voice came.

Trevor became alerted. “Hallow Kenneth. Yes it’s Trevor. How are things?”

“Okay. Listen, we need to clarify some things.”

Trevor furrowed his eyebrows. “About?”

“Hamerton.”

Trevor twisted his head looking away. He vainly hoped that he could see his brother at the spot he last did. “Of course, tell me, are you in London?”

“Yes. Outside your school actually. Can you come to my car?”

Immediately Trevor rose. He closed his book and crumpled a Ziploc bag that had his lunch. “Sure. Where is it parked?”
“Just come out first.” He instructed.

“On my way.” Trevor said and hang up then pocketed his phone. He carried his book under his arm and started leaving the university compound.

He found Kenneth’ Bugatti across the roadway that led to the University. He walked briskly to it and opened the door opposite the driver’s and got in.

“Hallo Kenneth?” He greeted first, closing the door behind himself.

Kenneth, who had his seatbelt on and his hand holding the wheel, replied. “Hey.”

Trevor fastened his own seatbelt. “So, are we going somewhere?”

“I was thinking about that. Though, it ain’t necessary.”

“Alright. Are we having a secured communication?”

“Yes. I never get in touch with you without making sure of that.”

Trevor nodded. “So, tell me.”

Kenneth opened his glove compartment and Trevor watched him as he took out a couple of documents from it.

He waved a green file to Trevor who took it with queer.

“What’s this?” Trevor asked.

“Excerpts from a postmortem file.”

Trevor furrowed his eyebrow but, he was not going to question how Kenneth got it. Trevor knew that Kenneth had his ways. “Belonging to who?” Was Trevor’s actual worry.
“Simon, Natalie’s old boyfriend who tried to harass her a year ago.”

Trevor’s mouth dropped open with shock. He did not care for the guy but, the news of his sudden death estranged him. He opened the file hastily and ended up grimacing at the gruesome photos. He drew in a deep sigh, deciding not to continue. “How did he die?” he asked his brother.

“He was drowned. At least that’s what the police concluded after finding his body in a dumpster close to the Jones beach.” Kenneth replied.

“He was drowned?” Trevor repeated fearfully. “You mean he was murdered?”

“Likely. If you check the postmortem file, you will see that he had marks around his hands and feet that suggest that he was tied. Otherwise, there were no other markings to indicate a beating or other form of physical harassment.”

Trevor took a few seconds digesting the news. “Does the police have any lead on who might have killed him?”

“No.” Kenneth said “But, they do have a crucial witness.”

“Who?”

“Natalie’s mom.” Kenneth replied and checked to see Trevor’s expression. He was appalled. Kenneth went on. “She was the last person to see Simon after he went in hiding for over the past year. It is my guessing that, Simon was cooking something against your Natalie.”

Trevor was upset. “I don’t believe what’s happening. Is Natalie’s mom okay?”

“She is not arrested if that’s what you’re asking, the rest, I’m unaware.”

“I am worried for Natalie.” He said somberly.

“And there’s more that you should be worried about.”

“What? Tell me.” He requested, almost begging to be withdrawn from the uncertainty of matters.

“There’s a possibility that Simon was kidnapped, and tied up, to gain some information from him. Information probably related to you or Natalie. Given Simon’s history with her, I don’t think that he would have hesitated to grant his harassers what they wanted.”

“But, Kenneth, Simon was a bad person. He could have been kidnapped by people whom he owed stuff… maybe drugs, I don’t know.”

“Maybe. But, we can’t leave out the possibility that he was abducted by the SOHOT people.”

Trevor was silent, considering the idea. “What could they have wanted from him?”

“Natalie’s info perhaps. Or yours.” Kenneth suggested.

Trevor sighed and glanced at the other documents that his brother had in hand. “And what are those files you’re holding?”

Kenneth passed to him a spiral bound book.

Trevor stared at it. “Hamerton’s constitution.” He read and glanced at Kenneth. “What’s this for?”

“There’s a clause there that I found quite interesting. The part of the House Of Representatives in your governance.”

Trevor nodded. He recalled then that the HOR played a vital role in empowering the Hamerton ruling authority. “Yes. The System of Organization of the House Of Representatives. In short, SOHOR.”

“Now, doesn't that sound too familiar?” Kenneth asked with an arched eyebrow.

“SOHOT.” Trevor reckoned in realization. “But, you told me that S and O stand for Secret Organization.”

“Yes. It’s very evident now that they are a part of your SOHOR thing.”

Trevor glanced away thoughtfully. He turned to the book when he felt the need to.

He opened to a page written;

SYSTEM OF ORGANIZATION OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Pg. 1 Inauguration

Trevor stared intently at the page and turned to Kenneth. “I have been through this. While I was a minister. That is how I became part of the sect in the first place. Back then it was only the Senior Organization with the House Of Representatives. The seniors only thought that it was eminent for them to have an influential rule in Hamerton. One that wasn't shakable… We sought allegiance with big schools within and outside Europe. That is why the seniors’ rule was the only rule. Well, of course, until now, in Natalie’s time.” He paused to add regretfully. “But, it went far. The seniors, working with Archibald, were plotting a bomb, . Somehow Caitlin found out and they were ready to kill her. Their efforts cost the lives of five of our seniors. I couldn't be a part of them anymore.”

Kenneth looked at him pitifully. “I am sorry for that bro.” he commented.

“Can you find out when the current government of Hamerton will be inaugurated in the SOHOR system?”

“I can.”

“Thank you. I will have to talk to Natalie in breaking that allegiance. I escaped from the SOHOR because of my background. They all know how my father and you are powerful. I can’t say the same for Natalie.”

“I agree with you.” Kenneth said stretching his hand to take his phone from the dashboard. “If it’s the allegiance that is causing disasters then it has to be broken.”

Kenneth pressed a few buttons and dialed.

Trevor shuffled the constitution pages as Kenneth communicated with his intel in Hamerton.

He murmured as he perused the book. “The System of Organization Of the House of Representatives operates under four pillars which,” he traced the lines as he read. “Every member will have to recite five times on the inauguration day. These four pillars are to be observed without compromise by each of the member parties. The first and foremost pillar is integrity, this means that all the SOHOR members are one. The member parties must agree to share in everything both good and favorable tasks plus difficult tasks…” he paused, furrowing his eyebrows. “Citation needed?”

“Trevor?” Kenneth called, drawing his brother’s attention.

“Yes?” Trevor asked.

“I think that you maybe late for whatever you had in mind. I was just informed that the HOR are arriving your school in about,” he checked his wristwatch, “thirty minutes.”

Trevor was shocked. “What??”

What happened next? Stay tuned to find out!
