Chapter 2: Message of Mystery
I hung up the phone and let my mind wonder. What did he mean by, "don't trust Phenotrans"?
And that gunshot. Who pulled the trigger?
A million questions raced through my head with no answers. If I wanted to find some, I was going to need help. Last time I checked, Rebecca should be in Fortune City. I could almost guarantee finding her there. The only thing left to do was to find out where that call came from. Doing that should be a piece of cake. My source had info about Phenotrans that no one else had, right? So the only conclusion would be that this person works for them. All I had to do was check the area code on the number he called me from and find the Phenotrans facility in that area.
As I was about to start up the car, my phone beeped, signaling that I had received a message. The ID read, "Unknown Number." Not the most mysterious thing in the world, but after what just happened, I think I had a reason to be cautious.
The context of the message was a series of number and letters; "29a1064f1db7c."
A code?
I scrolled down and found something at the bottom.
"Keep this safe."
I.K.
I.K.? What the fuck Is going on?
I needed answers sooner than I thought.
Turning on the ignition, I backed out of the parking lot and headed toward home. Before I go to Fortune City, I need to be well rested and look things over one more time. Let's just hope it won't be my last.
Note: sorry this was a short chapter
