Chapter 49: 49. Arrested
.

.
The trio, after planning the mission with Mardez, headed out to Ago to carry out their task.
What they will do is sneak inside Simon's house and gather necessarily materials that can be counted as evidences.
Ago city.
"Whew, so hot." Mark removed his jacket upon arriving. "This is still the first week of January, but why so warm here?"
The trio first went to a restaurant to have their lunch. They will carry out their task when night falls. They can't risk themselves getting caught since Simon's house is in a populous area according to the map they had seen.
The trio began eating their orders.
"If this Simon Din really is the culprit, then why did he do those things?" I don't quite understand it." Mark said after swallowing a spoonful of his food.
"Maybe something happened to him in the past, or maybe he was ordered to do it?" Natalie voiced out her idea.
"If someone really ordered him to do those things, then we will have another person to keep watch." Mark replied as he finished his food. He ordered some sodas for the three of them.
Natalie also finished her meal. Jay, on the other hand, is just halfway through his meal. The speed at which he eats is so slow.
Mark found it funny how Jay slowly chew his food while looking outside the window.
"Hey Jay, hurry up. You're so slow." Mark chuckled.
"What's the rush?" Jay simply smiled and resumed eating.
Mark signalled to Natalie and the two stood up.
"We'll wait for you then outside. I want to have a fresh air." The two prepared to leave.
"Okay." Jay is almost finished on his food.
When Mark and Natalie went outside, Jay came to his senses. That means he will be the one to pay for the food they all ordered. Jay almost bit his tongue when he thought of it.
Although he had a lot of money, still, they ordered expensive foods.
"How can I be so stupid?" Jay muttered as he paid for their orders.
Jay went outside and saw the two waiting for him, grinning ear to ear.
"I can't believe I fell to your trap."
The two just chuckled and they roamed the city until it is almost nighttime.
It is still early in the evening and the trio first decided to have their dinner at the same restaurant when they had their lunch.
This time, the three almost finished at the same time their foods.
"Don't worry Jay, for now, we will pay for each of our meals." Mark found it funny how Jay no longer ate his food in a slow manner.
The three exited the restaurant and went to a higher spot overlooking the house of Simon.
"So that's the house? There are a lot of houses surrounding it. Let's go check if there are CCTVs around it."
The three had their outfits concealing their appearances, but the difference this time is, their outfits are not all black. Their special black outfits symbolizes their identities as Scar members. For now, they'll just use a different one.
The three separated and walked around the house, finding some spots on where they will enter and looked out for any CCTVs.
The trio gathered and shared what they found out so far.
They only found one CCTV camera near the entrance of the house, but on the other side, there are none. The trio planned that they will sneak inside through the backyard. Thankfully, the house was not located near the marketplace.
Although there are houses around it, once they made sure that everyone slept, that will be the time they will sneak inside.
There's also the curfew, so based on what Mardez told them, they will spend the night inside Simon's house.
At first, the trio found it to be a ridiculous idea, but accepted it since they don't have a choice. They will only come out at dawn the next day.
9pm to 3am are the curfew hours.
8:40pm, after making sure nobody is around, the trio climbed the fence in the backyard and stealthily moved towards the door. Picking the doorknob easily, the three sneaked inside.
"Whew."
It was dark inside the room, but they didn't dare turn on the lights. Instead they used small flashlights that emit weak lights so no one will notice from the outside.
The three journeyed through the inside for three hours, looking for any useful things. After they made sure that they hadn't overlooked any places, they gathered in the basement. In the basement, they used stronger flashlights to see what they had gotten.
"Looking at these things, that Simon Din really is the culprit." They all took pictures of all the evidences and sent it to Xander. Only Xander have his real identity known by the police and by some of the people in the Underworld.
Xander reviewed the evidences and sent it to the police immediately.
At dawn, the trio exited the house and they went home to rest.
Chief Clark was happy that Xander gave them strong evidences. But since this will arouse suspicions from others, Clark made up his own story.
First, he told his men that he found a possible suspect, showing them the analysis he made using the idea of Mardez. But of course, Xander helped him in his lies. Using the exact video records that Mardez watched, Clark's men initially believe him, but they also need evidences.
So Clark ordered them to have a search warrant at the residence of Simon Din.
The trio, when they sneaked inside the house, returned all the things they had discovered to their original positions.
When Clark and his men went to Ago, Simon is already in his house.
When they told him about a search warrant, Simon broke into cold sweats, and he refused. Knowing that he was possibly found out, he tried to run away, but they caught him.
After the search, they discovered lots of evidences and he was arrested.
When Simon asked Clark how they had suspected him, Clark just showed some parts of the video records that Xander sent him and Simon saw himself. After listening to Clark's explanation, Simon had no choice but to admit his crime. Also, the evidences are so strong, from the maps he had drawn and to the explosive materials in his basement, and a few more things.
He was sentenced to a lifetime imprisonment.
The police force of Rubando praised Clark for hard work. But Clark just humbly ignored those praises, since Xander helped him.
What he felt most happy about, is that the culprit was caught. The news spread all over San Francisco and this made the citizens happy.
The trio was also happy since Mardez gave them gifts as also their rewards. With that, the explosion chain events had ended.
