A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 590

Yvan immediately realized the gravity of the situation and turned to Carl, saying, “We need to find out where Orson is, now!”

“I got this.”

Out of the blue, R7CKY piped up, asking Yvan, “Got a computer?”

“Yes.”

With a knowing look from Yvan, Carl promptly pulled out a brand new Alienware laptop, eliciting a whistle from R7CKY, “This beauty here, Ventus would dig.”

Ventus just shot him an indifferent glance before pulling out a sleek tablet, their own custom-built piece of tech designed for deep-web searches and pinpointing digital footprints.

Watching the duo get ready, Logan knew he was about to get a front-row seat to a masterclass in cyber-sleuthing. Yvan watched intently too, a look of eager learning across his face, as father and son settled opposite R7CKY and Ventus. As soon as the computer booted up, Ventus activated the Bluetooth and synced up with the tablet.

The screen split in two, displaying an array of letters in various sequences. Yvan hardly looked away, his fingers dancing over the keyboard at a pace that left Logan in awe.

Soon, they uncovered Orson’s private number and, through tracking, pinpointed the last location he used it. They began scouring nearby CCTV footage, finding a clip of Orson answering a mysterious call before dashing off to a hospital.

That hospital… it was where Matilda had stayed.

It clicked for Logan then – the necklace around Matilda’s neck. Orson must have been going there to give Matilda that necklace.

But what did that necklace mean to the Jungle Union?

As they dived deeper, filtering through pedestrian faces on street cams for any sign of Orson, they ended up back at the hospital, the footage suddenly blurring.

“Damn, someone hacked into the hospital’s surveillance before.”

Logan remembered a shooting incident; Orson was there too. It must have been Chad, crashing the scene and having a hacker take down the hospital’s surveillance to avoid leaving any digital traces.

Piece by piece, the clues and timelines began to form a coherent thread.

It all seemed interconnected in some mysterious way…
