At exactly seven-thirty that morning, the police officers knocked on Sarah and James' hotel room door to ensure they were out of the Hotel and on their way to the station as was agreed.They got there at exactly Eight o'clock. James drove at the same time Theodore's grey Range Rover SE drove into the parking lot.A tall man dressed in a dark grey suit and sleek back brown hair stepped out of the passenger seat of Theodore's car, at the same time Mrs Brown and Mr. Brown got out of the back seat.James shook his head quietly as he exited the car and pulled the door open for Sarah to come down. Sarah tiredly met up with her parents at the door."Baby! Oh my, I was so worried all night, I wondered how you fared." Mrs Brown exclaimed."I..I didn't need to sleep in there anymore. Somebody called in a favour for me with the Inspector General." Sarah replied. Mrs Brown turned to Theodore and the others, whose expression revealed they were equally perplexed."Wow, that is great news. Who could

James stared at his phone again as Anna's words rang out in his ears. " You would have to call home for help this time. Things are out of my hands now " she said to him." That's fine, I will do it " he said painfully, as the words refused to work their way up his throat. This was truly a hard pill to swallow.From the way he saw it, they had no option, he had signed the documents they wanted him to.sign, and that was all he had needed to do for them.Feeling confident, yet out of time, he dialed Pedro's phone number. He picked on the first ring."Hello, young Master" Pedro answered in a calm and respectful tone."I need help, Pedro and I need it urgently." James said to him."I am sorry, young Master, but what seems to be the problem?" Pedro asked out of concern."Well, it is a long story, but I need a certain amount of money deposited into a government account." James replied hastily."I am sorry, young Master, but the Master does not approve of that. He has asked that any official

Early the next morning, James packed a few bags for his trip. He knew he had to keep his word. He wrote a note for Sarah, and placed it on the dressing mirror. He had made an obligation, and his word was extremely important to him.Just as agreed, they had sent a car to pick him up, it was a grey 2025 Acura MDX, and the driver was a famous car dealer. The young man pulled out of the sleek ride and shook hands with James."It is nice to finally meet you, Mr. Johnson. I have heard a great deal about you." The man said to James with a broad smile on his face."This should take you to Hudson and back. That is, if you would not want a different ride by then." The dealer smimed at him."This is a sweet ride. I mean, a 2025 Acura model, you must have your hands in high places. Limited Edition?" James asked."A Martial artiste guru and he knows his cars. I'm impressed Mr. Johnson. We should talk business sometime. Men like you, are what we car dealers live for." The man shook James' hand agai

James walked forward to where his grandfather was seated. It was an electronic wheel chair that spun around on its own. It had a sensory feature that sensed the intentions of its user based on their motions, and movements.The wheel swiveled Mr. Johnson around to face James, and with a raise of his head, Mr. Gregory Johnson smiled at him."It is good to see you again, and how much you have grown," Mr. Johnson said to him with a smile."I wish I could say the same about you. But you do look different, older, aged....it looks good on you." Johnson replied."A man and his word...I believe you have taken a good view of the house, and you like what you see?" He asked James."I believe it is commendable and...I can't say I do not like what I see. If you had done such great work with the place, then...what happened to the Company? Why did you stop pushing it ahead?" James asked him."The number one leading Tech Company in the whole of the United States, and you just let it go," James said."

James knew that Sarah would not recognize him with a full face mask on, and he had to admit that she looked beautiful in that black dress she wore."I didn't think you would show up." He said to her, with a smile."You were the one who said you didn't like social events." She replied smiling at him smugly."I could spot you from a mile away. Your smile, your eyes, your face." James said candidly, because truly, he did know her.But she had absolutely no idea that it was him behind the mask. That it was he who had been spending all that money on her."Well, it is a good thing you came, at least that gives us something to chat about" she said with a smile."Of course, ask away." He said, giving her the go ahead."So, do we make this fun instead and have it over drinks?" She asked, flashing him a coy smile."Are you insinuating we get drunk and dump the party?" He asked."No, I said, we get a corner , get some champagne, and play truth or dare. If you lose, you drink." She smirked."Well
