Chapter 28 - The Holloway Connection

(School is over, I can go home now. But first I'm going out for a bit.)

Our character gets ready and goes out.

(You may be wondering why I went out when there were so many problems, and you're right to ask. There's a reason: I noticed a hidden link in the last email Leonardo sent me. We hadn't seen it when we looked at it together, but after much thought, I realized there had to be a way out, a clue. So I checked the email again and discovered that Leonardo had hidden a link between the words. I thought it might be a test to see if I could figure it out. First, I checked to see if the link was secure, and after confirming that it was, I clicked on it. The link led to a website: colloway.com. I started browsing, curious about what this site was. I learned that the site was created 7-8 years ago and contained clippings and photos from someone's life. This person was probably Nathan Colloway, the owner of the site. After reviewing the videos and photos, I learned that his full name was "Nathan Colloway." I did a detailed online search for this name. At first I couldn't find anything because every link to Nathan Colloway led me to someone named Damian Holloway. I had done so much research that my eyes were hurting and my brain was starting to shut down from exhaustion, so I decided to go to sleep. After waking up the next morning and doing some more research, I realized that Nathan Colloway and Damian Holloway's names were very similar. What's more, they also had very similar interests. From what I saw in Nathan's videos, he was interested in animals, and from Damian's old Facebook page and current Instagram account, I could see that he was also fond of animals. They both loved playing basketball. Because of these, I realized that the link was like Damian Holloway's secret archive where he kept his memories and moments.)

(Now, let's talk about the address. The address took me to a veterinarian. Given Damian's interest in animals, I wondered if he could be a veterinarian. He could be, or he couldn't be; there was only one way to find out: to go there. But the place was quite far away and I had to take two transfers to get there. But there was no other option; if I wanted to find out, I had to go.)

(Now that I've explained everything, let's get started.)

Our character goes to the bus stop and waits for the bus.

(I hope we reach our destination; that's what we all aim for.)

Our character gets on the bus and reaches the second stop.

(I wonder where all this research will lead?)

Our character gets on the bus again.

[15 Minutes Later]

(We finally arrived; we can get off and walk a bit. Just a few hundred meters.)

Our character walks for a few minutes and arrives.

(Yes, the Holloway Clinic; it must be here. I think we put the puzzle together correctly.)

Our character enters the clinic.

****: Hey, is anyone here?

Someone from outside enters.

Unknown: Yes, I'm here. How can I help you?

****: Well, I was looking for someone named Damian Holloway?

Damian Holloway: Yes, it's me. What's your name?

****: Henry.

(I told Leonardo my name was Henry, so I used the same name again since they were related.)

Holloway: Okay.

Holloway picks up his phone and dials a number.

****: What are you doing?

Holloway (to person on phone): He did it, what can I say?

****: What did I do?

Holloway: You know best what you're doing.

(I guess I did as he said.)

Holloway: Follow me.
