Mr. Harrison rose from his seat with a confused face; Allen paused, wondering what was wrong with Jack. “What’s going on, talk to me?” Mr. Harrison called out, with his voice etched with panic.Jack tried to utter a word, but a metallic taste filled his mouth. He coughed, and suddenly blood splashed across, staining the tablecloth with a dark red droplet. He felt a surge of panic within him when he realised something was wrong.Their minds raced when they noticed the stain; Mr. Harrison and Hilda exchanged worrisome glances at each other. Jack glanced at Allen, who was unmoved by what was happening to him. Jack knew he had been poisoned, but how? Was this a set-up? “Jack.” Mr. Harrison called with his heart filled with shock and fear. He rushed towards Jack’s side. Grabbing his shoulder to steady him, Jack faced downward as he continued coughing out blood.“Someone calls the ambulance; someone calls an ambulance.” Allen paused what he was doing and took his phone to call the ambul
The doctor leaned forward, his expression shifted slightly. “Mr Harrison, your son, Jack, was poisoned.” “Poisoned!!” He exclaimed in shock and disbelief.“Yes,” the doctor nodded, “We have managed to flush most of it out, but it was close, too close. I tried my best, but he is stable and I have assigned a nurse to look after him.”“Can you please tell me what happened and where you were at the time of the incident.” the doctor abruptly asked.Mr. Harrison sighed heavily as he began explaining to the doctor everything that happened and where the incident happened. The doctor nodded in understanding, as he listened intently.“It's a good thing he was brought here on time; it helped us catch the poison early. And he is young, so his body may recover fully, but there is a risk. We will do everything possible to prevent any lasting harm.”Mr Harrison's mind was clouded with questions, “Who could have done this and why?” He asked himself, he blamed himself for what happened, and he called
“What are you doing here?” he managed to spill as he tried to maintain his composure.Kelvin Wang clenched his fist, he rolled his eyes on Allen. Allen's mind was pounding fast, he felt his stomach churning. “Was he listening to my conversation? Why is he staring at me like that? If he heard me, I would be in trouble; what should I do? Did Hilda tell him anything?” After a moment, Kelvin Wang broke the silence between them. “Your father wants you to meet him in the car.” He informed with a deep Voice.Allen nodded as he walked past Kelvin, heading towards the entrance of the hospital. Where he met his father standing with his hands clasped behind his back, and Hilda stood beside him. He drew a deep breath, as he sauntered towards them. “What have you been doing?” Mr Harrison Campbell asked with a serious tone.He tried to suppress the fear that had engulfed him. His eyes lingered from Hilda to his father, “I was at the restroom, I was pressed, and I had to answer to nature.” He repl
The receptionist was scared she stared at the men standing before her with. “Is there anything we can help you with?”Kelvin Wang eyes darkened and his gaze locked on her, “where is the manager?” He asked again not ready for any argument.She took the phone and murmurs into it, then turned to face Kelvin and his men. “The manager will be out in a minute.” She replied politely.Kelvin turned away from her, his gaze scanning around the lobby. The onlooker stared at him wondering what was going on. But to his men they knew better. He was analysing every corner and taking details. He didn't see the place as a hotel anymore but a crime scene.A minute later, Elliot Gideon stepped out. His kept a worrisome and crimson outlook when he gaze met with Kelvin Wang and the guards, the incident of jack had made him reckless, knowing he would be blamed for everything that happened.“Good evening, Mr. Kelvin Wang.” he said with his head tilted and his voice low but smooth.Kelvin nodded with his e
In the serene ambience of the school library at Crestview University, soft sunlight filtered through the large window. Casting a warm glow over the row of neatly arranged bookshelves. With students scattered throughout the space engrossed in their studies.Jack Smith was seated alone by the corner of the library. He was hungry and his stomach was gurgling loudly, causing other students to stare at him in disgust.Jack Smith is known as an errand boy in school. He was from a poor family, and he did several jobs to survive. He managed to gain admission into Crestview through a scholarship.He shoved his hand into his pants pocket, he brought out ten dollars from his pocket, a smile curved on his lips. Jack Stood up from his seat, grabbed his bag and sauntered towards the exit of the library.On his way out he met Eric and Elvis Hilton, the two famous twins in Crestview. They are known for always bullying other students. The twins had been reported on several occasions, but the school ma
It was from Jordan Norman, one of the rich dudes in school. Jordan is known for his luxurious lifestyle and how he changed female students weekly.Jack unlocked his phone and he read through the message. “There is a party at my house tonight, I need a server. 20 Dollars per hour, let me know if you are interested.” Jack was excited when he saw the message. He was about to jump into happiness, but he maintained his composure; his face was engulfed with smiles.He quickly replied to the message, “I am interested, send time and address.” “What is it,” Harry asked after seeing the expression on Jack’s face.“I got a job tonight and the pay is good,” He replied.“That’s nice, so where is it,” Harry asked.“Yeah, I know. It’s at Jordan’s apartment.”“Are you sure you want to do this?” Harry intoned.Jack nodded his head in response, he knew he would make a lot of money. A student party usually lasts for six to five hours and making 20 dollars per hour would help him achieve most of the req
Jack stopped, turning to face Eric, who stood beside Jordan.“You can’t go like that when I am still dressed like this,” Eric said. “You would need to take off your shirt and use it to clean the floor. That way I will be satisfied.”Jack’s eyes widened in shock, “what.” He said with a low tone while shaking his head in disapproval.He glanced at Jordan, whose hands were folded below his chest; Jack wasn’t willing to do it. Eric unleashed his anger at him by grabbing his collar and yelling at him, Jack’s face was covered with Eric’s saliva.“You had better do it or you will have yourself to blame,” he said.The music stopped and people gathered around to witness what was happening between Eric Hilton and the low-life Jack.Elvis tossed back, grabbed a drink from the table and poured it on Jack from his head, the drink cascaded down his body.Jack felt a surge of frustration and anger welling up inside of him. “That is for disobeying my order. I want you to take it off, and wipe the me
The next day, Jack was still seated in his room. He felt bad after what happened the previous night. His name has been the topic of the day, and his picture has been used as a meme and has been posted in the school group.His video surfaced on the internet. Jack didn’t feel like going to school that day, but suddenly he heard a knock on his door. It was so hard that his door was shaking and almost fell.Jack and Harry exchanged glances at each other. “Who could that be,” Harry asked, checking his phone screen.Jack got up from the bed and strode towards the door, he swung it open. He was shocked by the faces he saw standing before him.Jesse Warren, Jordan Norman, the Hilton twins and the school security guards, as well as a few other students, came to witness the scene.“What are you doing here,” he asked.“Shut up, you thief. How dare you steal from me, you think someone wouldn’t see you. You lied, man; everyone saw you.” Jesse blurted out angrily.“What are you talking about,” Ja
