Chapter fifty-three: shock. Officer Joe remembered him and he asked “What are you doing here?”. Officer Joe was surprised to see him. Manson was surprised, though he expected to encounter him but not on the upper floor when he was going on a mission. And Manson acted confused. “Hey, didn't you remember me? It's me Joe, Officer Joe, we met like days, weeks, or months ago, didn't you remember?” Officer Joe asked. He was still surprised and was kind of happy. “Umm… I don't think so, sorry,” Manson replied. Manson remembered him, but he had to deny knowing him. “Come on! It's me, Joe,” officer Joe said. He pointed at his chest and looked at Manson with a smile on his face. Manson was still playing his dementia role, when Officer Joe was called on the radio, by his partner, Officer Ruby. “Joe! Joe! Do you copy? Over!” Officer Ruby called out from the radio. Officer Joe raised his finger, signifying Manson to wait. Officer Joe brought out the radio. “Yes, I copy, what is the problem
Chapter fifty-four: it is Time. As Mason walked away he let out a sigh and said “Whew! That was close,”. Mason’s phone rang once and he brought it out of his pocket and he saw a message from Mike. And it says “It is time,” But before Mike sends a text to Mason that says “It is time,”. Mike walked into the uninvited party unnoticed (no one knew him because the suspect was not known, he was seen as a guest also, even though people do not pay attention to him). Mike walked through the crowds, searching for billionaire Andrew but he did not see him. As Mike continued his scouting, he mistakenly bumped into police officer Ruby. “Oh, I am sorry, it is that I can't easily move around with the crowd and everyone moves around, I hope you understand,” Mike said. He asked politely and he looked into the eyes of Officer Ruby. Mike didn't know exactly who she was and Officer Ruby didn't know exactly who Mike was really. Officer Ruby moved back, because of the way they bumped into each other.
Chapter fifty-five: The Alarm. Mike, knew that he was in trouble and he replied to Mason’s question and said “I know what to do, I will call you back,”. Mike finished his statement and looked at the bodyguard who was in charge of the top floor and he smiled. Flashback!Mike, left the main event ground and went to the elevator going up to the top floor. He saw the text and he put a wireless and encrypted earpiece for communication only, into his ear. Mike walked into the elevator and the door shut behind him. An orchestral melodic violin sound Inside the elevator. The violin begins with a sweet, soaring melody that rises and falls like a gentle wave. The music has a nostalgic, dreamy quality, evoking memories of long-ago places and times. As the melody continues, it builds in complexity, adding layers of harmony and texture. The sound is bittersweet, wistful, and achingly beautiful. It lingers in the air long after the last note has faded, leaving the listener with a sense of yearni
Chapter fifty-six: upstairs. As Mike walked through the security laser light he triggered the security alarm. “Oh, shit!” Mike exclaimed. He looked around, the elevator got shut and a red light bulb began to flick but the alarm was not that loud. Mason, who was down at the event, can hear Mike's voice from the earpiece in his ear. “Mike, what is going on?”. Mason asked. He deduced from the voice of Mike via the encrypted earpiece, that something unexpected had happened. “Mason, don't worry about me just go ahead with your part of the plan,” Mike replied. He urges Mason to proceed with the actual plan. “Okay, I will,” Mason replied. He ended the conservation. Mason noticed some of the private security guards of billionaire Andrew touching their right ear, where their encrypted communication earpiece is located. They started leaving their positions. But no one, in the event, could hear the alarm because billionaire Andrew set up the alarm in a way that only the security guard in t
Chapter fifty-seven: action scene. “Oh no! The auction is about to start,” Mason said. The auction for the jewelry was about to commence.

Billionaire Andrew raised his glass cup and everyone followed him. The audience clapped their hands, applauding billionaire Andrew for his speech. Billionaire Andrew waved to his audience, signifying he was about to say something and they stopped clapping and listened. “So! Everyone! Let me not get you bored with my speech! In conjunc
Chapter fifty-eight: The Escape Note. Both security teams on Mason’s side and Mike's side started counting before they broke in simultaneously, they said “we will count to five (there was no way Mike and Mason were going to escape, their existing point was blocked and they were cornered like a rat) and if do not come out! We break in, 1…..2…….3….4……”Flashback.When the security guards hurry up the stairs to the top floor. Mike, could hear their footsteps as they ran up the stairs. Mike thought of the best-improvised escape plan. Mike got an idea. Mike first of all took pictures of the documents in the secret room, when he was done with that he heard the heavy knock on the door, that leads to the secret room. The guards threatened to break in, Mike realized that this was the time to put his ideas to work. Mike looks for a power source to the secret room where he was, a Scrabble everywhere. The security guards started counting the same things as the guards in the control room, wher
Chapter fifty-nine fingerprints “What assistance?! I don't need your assistance submit your gun and your badge, you are suspended until further notice,” police Commissioner Reynold said. He demanded angrily. Officer Ruby walked into the scene and she asked “What is going on?”. “What is going on?!

He spoke with anger not really because of the incident but because Mike had taken a picture of strong evidence that could be used against billionaire Andrew and himself. “Sir I…” “Keep quiet!” billionaire Andrew said. He interrupted Officer Joe's statement when he tried to defend himself but he was not given the chance. “You can't do your job well! Why or how do you even become a police officer in the first place, I guess the former commissi

How?” Officer Joe asked. He was surprised to hear that some fingerprints were discovered. “Yeah, I found out and I kept it in the investigation and evidence storage room,” Officer Ruby said.
