HAMERTON 2
Thank you God for this opportunity.
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.
Hallo dear viewers.
Today
With a lot of effort, Natalie’s friends managed to calm her down in her office.
She sat on her
President’s chair and Ivan left to get her coffee.
Natalie sobbed and
sniffed on another handkerchief that Ivan offered her. “I can’t understand
Ingrid. Why did they have to do this? Why?”
“Oh Natalie, calm down.
It can all be fixed.” Ingrid coaxed her friend, reaching out for Natalie’s
hands on the desk.
“But, how? It’s only a
few months till we have to graduate. We still don’t know when the SOHOT are
going to attack.” She sighed, deeply. “Ingrid, it’s over. I let Trevor down. I let
Erin down and everyone else who trusted in me.”
Ingrid shook her head
trying to disagree with Natalie.
Just then the office
door opened and Ivan rushed in with a plastic mug of coffee.
He placed it on Natalie’s
desk. “This should calm your nerves. I have added a few herbs I found at the
counter. The barman said that they are good.”
Natalie was too
desperate to even notice him.
Ingrid took the mug and
extended it to Natalie. “Natty, please have this so that you can feel better.”
“No!” Natalie snapped. “I
can’t take anything. I just lost our only chance of saving Hamerton.” she
cried.
“Natalie, we’ll find a
way.” Ivan promised her, passing over the fact that she rejected his courtesy.
Natalie turned to him. “Thank you for trying
to cheer me up Ivan.” She said insincerely. “But, my last request to you is
that, you write a speech for me of announcing my resignation. Afterward, I’ll
relieve you of your responsibilities.”
“Natalie?” he called before she interrupted
him.
“Please get to that, Ivan.”
Ivan sighed with
disappointment and left.
“Natalie. You don’t
have to be hard on him. He cares for you.” Ingrid told her.
“Ingrid. Please?” Natalie
growled at her.
“No. You have to listen
to me. You can’t be hard on your friends whenever you feel upset.”
Natalie frowned. “What
is wrong with you?” she shouted. “Don’t you all understand what just happened?”
“Natalie?” Ingrid
called her, feeling appalled by Natalie’s attitude.
Natalie rose and
stretched her hands in defense. “Please. Stay away from me.” She said and
started stomping out.
“Where are you going?” Ingrid
asked.
Natalie did not reply, leaving and banging the door behind her.
Natalie walked briskly
outside the building, evading the school reporters when she met them in the lobby.
She ran to the leaders’ quarters to find the cellphone that Henry left her. She
remembered that Henry mentioned that, she could use it to communicate with
Trevor whenever she wanted to. Now that she was in a devastated mood, Natalie
needed to talk to Trevor more than ever.
She also decided to
leave school so that she could see him. Trevor had told her that, he would be in London
and Natalie resolved to use all her allowance to get there.
When he got to her
room, she fetched the phone in her bag. She had it in her hand and checked its
system of working. There was only one button on the control pad. She sighed,
thinking, seriously? Does this even work?
Deciding on trying, she
pressed the button and placed the phone against her ear.
The call was
immediately received.
“You've reached the
Tommy’s residence, who am I talking with?” A lady’s voice sounded.
Natalie took in a deep
breath. “Amh… I’m a friend of Trevor Tommy. Is he there? Can I speak with him?”
“Please give me your
name miss.”
“Natalie. Natalie
Bradley.”
The lady paused and
came again. “Okay, just wait a few seconds. I’ll see if he is close and connect
you to him.”
Natalie smiled with
joy. She could not wait to talk to Trevor.
“Hello, Natalie?”
Natalie crossed her
face at Henry’s voice. “Henry? Where is Trevor?”
“Don’t ask that loudly.”
Henry replied, warning her in a whisper. “I am in Los Angeles in place of
Trevor.”
“Where is he?” Natalie
asked immediately.
“In London. But,
Natalie you have to be careful. Trevor’s life is in danger and so is yours. They
already kidnapped one of Trevor’s close friends. He asked to stay behind to
find Corny’s wife and look out for you.”
Natalie rose slowly
from the bed, gasping. “What? What happened?” She asked, beginning to cry.
“Just what I just told
you. Natalie, be careful. SOHOT is out there and they are very ruthless.”
Natalie drew in a deep
sigh. “Everything is going bad. How can I reach him? Can you give me his
number?”
“This is the only that
he has. I have to impersonate him, see? And his father or anyone here can’t
find out or else, I could get killed.”
Natalie sighed again. “I
understand. But, I desperately want to talk to him or even see him. Can you
tell me where I can find him? In London.”
“Natalie. It is too
dangerous. You have to stay in Hamerton and possibly very far away from Trevor.
You could get in deep trouble and Trevor would never forgive me for endangering
you.”
“But, I have to see him.
It is necessary that I talk to him and inform him of what’s going on.”
Henry took a moment. “Okay.
Just know this, if you find Corny Howls, you will get to Trevor. Amh, I don’t
have any numbers in mind but, go to the Internet, Google Howls or something. He
is a very prominent police officer working for the Interpol, you know that,
right?”
“I know that he is a
police officer.”
“Alright. Just go to
his site, contact his office and you will get to him.”
Natalie felt
discouraged. “Henry, that… will it really work?”
“It will. Natalie. That
is the best that I can do for you now. But, I advise that you remain in
Hamerton. I assure you that Trevor is thinking of you just as you are dying to
reach him right now.”
She was silent, unconvinced.
“I am sorry Natalie, I have
to go. I still have to oversee their security from here. I’m behind the radio
so, I can’t stay out for long.”
Natalie swallowed and
exhaled, “Okay. Thank you anyway.”
“It’s alright.” He said
and hang up.
Natalie sighed and
remained with the phone in her hand for a while. She was not sure what step to
take after all that Henry informed her. It was all a lot to digest.
Trevor’s life was in
danger, Corny’s wife was kidnapped. She had to stay in Hamerton… No. she could
not stay in Hamerton. Not after being demoted. Not after losing their only way
to save the school.
She needed to see
Trevor, whatever the consequences.
If only she could at
least hear from him…
Trevor.
She thought. How can to find
you? She wondered.
Just then an idea
clicked in her mind.
“Of course! Your email.” She snapped
with delight. She expected that wherever he was, Trevor could still access his
email. After all, he did ask for Caitlin’s new email address before he left,
that meant that he still used his email.
She packed the phone in her bag and left, back to the school buildings in haste.
What happened next? Stay tuned to find out!
