Alex really didn't think that this weirdo could actually get them some real lead, but just for the sake of Alice, Luna, and Ann who thought that this video might be the key, he watched it.
'Anyways, what I wanted to say was that this whole building has no window on this side, other than my bathrooms of course.
However, you would think: Won't those guys notice my window?'
The guy paused again, wanting to create a mysterious atmosphere, but with his music gone, it didn't feel like that.
'Well, the answer is: they won't.
Why? Because I live on the top floor, my building is built in a way that its roof is a bit tilted, and the tilted part extends down to this side. Luckily for me, that roof provides me constant shade and keeps my bathroom cool.'
The guy paused again.
'I really am lucky....'
He muttered to himself, but then he continued.
'As I said, the roof covers my window, so if you don't come to this bathroom and see that there's actually a window here, you'll never know about it.
Shit! I just revealed my biggest secret in this video!'
The guy's voice spiked in realization.
'Now I won't be able to send out my drop for the peeping purpose...
This video better be worth it!'
The guy seemed to regret his decision, but he still continued filming.
*Ting Tong*
Suddenly the sound of an alarm was heard, and it was loud...
*Baam*
But the next second a loud baam was heard followed by the guy's shout, although he was yelling in a whisper.
'Fuck! That scared the hell out of me!'
The guy had smashed the alarm clock out of fright.
'.... oh no, that shit was bought for 50 credits....'
The guy started sobbing, but for the first time, his camera caught a movement in the back alley.
'Ah! It's time, I forgot that the alarm was supposed to ring at the right time!'
The guy also realized his blunder as he quickly looked at the camera.
'Yes! Yes! Yes! They are here, they are here!
You'll see them any second now, they just need to step out of that back alley and into the light that's lightened on the backdoor.'
The guy sounded excited as if he was finally getting something he wanted.
'I wanted to capture this on camera for a long time!'
And there it was, the reason why he sounded so excited.
Alex, who was watching the video without any interest, finally focused on the video.
'Let's see if it is really something useful or not...'
They waited for the final verdict.
*Inhale*
Alex took a long breath before he closed his eyes and let his back rest on the sofa.
He didn't say anything to the girls who were waiting for his words with batted breaths. Your next journey awaits at mvl
He took his time.
He stood up and stretched his body.
Cracked some joints and then stood up straight before he turned toward the girls, who were still staring at him.
"What are you guys waiting for?
It's time to catch some eels."
He smiled at them.
'Does that mean....' X3
"You mean..."
Luna paused there.
They knew what he meant but after being disappointed so many times, they just wanted a confirmation.
They perfectly get what Alex was saying, and the meaning behind his words, but they wanted him to say it out loud.
And Alex who could pretty much guess that, just smiled wider.
"Yeah, the video is real and they really were the member of that mysterious group."
"Phew...." X3
The three of them slumped on the sofa as they let out the air they were holding in for a while.
Now they had big smiles on their faces.
The guy although weird, did capture some real clue, and they were thankful for that.
"Are you guys coming or not?"
Alex, asked again, ignoring the video that started playing again.
"In a minute..."
Alice muttered as she just wanted to rest for a bit. The pressure her mind was in some last minutes was a bit too much for her.
Alex nodded his head.
"All right, 5 minutes."
He gave them more time than they needed while he sat back on the sofa and picked up the laptop.
'Doesn't hurt to watch it again...'
He skipped the useless part and played the main part of the video on repeat.
