Day 153 - 6:12 PM - Principal's Office, Madrijelos National High School, Barangay Madrijelos, Municipality of Algeria, Province of Cebu
The meeting continued after Doctor Janice briefly explained her findings and Officer Emilio summarizing the crucial points of his conversation with Mark.
Nonetheless, it all boiled down to one single question.
"Can we trust them?"
The fisherman, Caudillo, asked.
Even though Doctor Janice said that they were a powerful group...
Even if their goal was to deal with the Tamawos, as Officer Emilio mentioned...
There was still the issue of trust.
And Officer Emilio's answer, of course, was...
"I can't say for sure that we can trust them."
Officer Emilio shook his head.
It made everyone sigh but also relieved. Officer Emilio was a cautious leader. He would not just trust anyone they met shortly. He was not careless towards himself or his people.
Here's today's chapter! I took a Sunday break so there's no chapter for yesterday. I just want to take a good long sleep.
Anyway, it looks like Officer Emilio and his people decided to take a gamble for their people. They are good leaders, aren't they?
Well, that was unexpected. The silent Tamawo in Mark's group was not just some normal member of their tribe. He was supposed to be the king! However, it seemed that his brother took the throne due to some circumstances. No wonder he needed Mark's help. If they were just facing a single Tamawo, Pefile was more than enough to defeat them. But the enemy is the current king. It meant a fight against the whole tribe.
