The weight of Max's questions hung in the air, the tension looked visible about unresolved mysteries about Irrisia. As Max anxiously awaited an explanation, Irrisia grappled with the decision laid before her by the cryptic messages from the system. She knew she had to find a way out by lying to Max. The fear of having to lie to him was visible on her face. " Can you at least try and give me an explanation for this?" Max asked staring at Irrisia's face"I... I don't know where to begin," Irrisia stammered, her eyes darting between Max's concerned gaze and the insistent message on her screen. She took a deep breath, attempting to steady the whirlwind of emotions within her. "Max, there's something I need to tell you, but you have to promise me that you'll stay calm and listen," she said looking at Max Max nodded, a mix of curiosity and worry etched across his face. He gestured for her to continue, his hand still extended in a supportive manner. He thought Irrisia still needed help with
The wailing siren of the ambulance grew louder, cutting through the chaotic atmosphere of the bar. People were visibly seen hovering over Zaco's body and some people from in to catch a glimpse of what was going on. Zaco's friends, panic-stricken, rushed to call for emergency medical help. Jason quickly dialed 911 while Mark and Drew attempted to keep Zaco conscious. " Stay with me pal," Drew shouted at Zaco, trying not to make him sleep."Stay with us, Zaco! Help is on the way," Mark urged, his hands applying pressure to the wound.As the ambulance screeched to a halt outside the bar, paramedics rushed in with a stretcher. Zaco's unconscious body was carefully placed on it, and the paramedics efficiently began their life-saving procedures. One of Zaco's friends followed the ambulance while the rest followed behind the wailing ambulance.Meanwhile, news of the altercation had spread, and the bar had transformed into a scene of disorder. The other customers were agitated, exchanging hus
Irrisia's brows furrowed as she processed the information. "Why would the system want you to investigate Zaco? And why such a significant amount? That way too much just to investigate someone. " irrisia said aloud.Max shook his head, grappling with the complexity of the situation. "I don't know, Iris. But if we want to unravel the mysteries surrounding us, we might have to take this task seriously. Besides, It just wants me to investigate him at the hospital, nothing more, nothing less. That I can do." Max said. Irrisia nodded, a mix of determination and worry in her eyes. "We can't ignore it, Max. If Zaco is involved in all of this, we need to find out why. Or do you want me to tag along? I can just wait for you in the car while you go into the hospital." irrisia added.Max pocketed his device, a sense of urgency settling in. "I'll head to the hospital right away. You stay here, Iris. I'll keep you updated. We don't know if Dino is still out there. It might be dangerous for you."
Max silently trailed Zico through the hospital corridors, navigating the hospital structure with caution. The rhythmic hum of fluorescent lights above echoed his footsteps as he followed Zico, who seemed preoccupied with his thoughts. Max couldn't shake the feeling that Zico held crucial information relating to his business with Zaco and he wondered who the man behind the mask was. Both men walked in silence then suddenly Zico made a sharp bending and he was out of Max's sight. " Oh my God. Where the hell is he?" Max said silently, walking to a dead end.Zico came out of the dark and looked at Max," What do you want? Do I know you?" Zico asked with a cold voice.Max looked at the image before him and he looked exactly like Zaco. He took some steps and started walking towards Zico. Zico became frightened, he didn't want Max to find out that Zaco was a doppelganger. As Max came closer, Zico quickly launched an attack at him and Max landed heavily on the floor. He stood up and both men e
As they drove along the street, irrisia played the music she loved listening to and sang as she listened to it. Suddenly, Max adjusted the screen mirror and noticed that the same blue sports car he had seen earlier had been behind them for some time now. " What the hell?" Max said, banging the car steering. " I think we are being followed," he muttered and Irrisia immediately looked scared. " By who?" she asked, looking frightened.Max's grip on the steering wheel tightened as he tried to analyze the situation. "I don't know, but we need to lose them," he said, glancing at the rearview mirror. Irrisia shifted in her seat, a mix of concern and curiosity on her face.Without giving it a second thought, Max maneuvered through the streets, taking unexpected turns and speeding up in an attempt to shake off their pursuer. The blue sports car stuck to them like a shadow, weaving through traffic with determination. The rider was ready to catch up with them.As they approached a crowded market
Max drove straight home after the confrontation with Dino. Irrisia kept taking secret glances at him as he drove. "who was the lady you were talking about? Do I know her?" Irrisia asked as they got home. Max was too tired to explain so he just fell on the sofa " Irrisia, not now. I will explain when we get to school tomorrow. Just stick with me alright." He said and shut his eyes." Can I at least prepare you dinner?" irrisia asked Max who was now drifting into a long sleep. Max murmured some words that Irrisia didn't hear. " I will take that as a No," Irrisia replied walking up the stairs to her room. Max lay on the sofa and was fast asleep.The two woke up at the sound of the loud alarm. " Urgh" Max groaned as he got up from the bed to go take his bath. Irrisia came down immediately too and greeted " Morning, Max." she said softly entering the other bathtub. Both greeted and started to prepare to head down to school. " How is your head? Do you still feel any headaches?" Irrisia aske
Class activities commenced and soon Irrisia's accident was soon forgotten. The students all went about their daily activities forgetting anything that happened that morning. It was during lunchtime when Zaco gathered his friends and were talking. " have you heard anything from Eddy? I mean he didn't come to school and we haven't seen him since our fight." Mark asked, looking at Zaco at the round table before them." he had better run because I will skin him alive if I eventually catch him. I went into surgery because of him. Something that has never happened to me before. Besides, Irrisia can walk again. That is strange." Zaco said, sipping his drink." I think Max can now afford the best doctor to look after his supposed girlfriend. Haven't you noticed that he is rich now?" Jason teased Zaco making him look at him angrily." I wonder what she is having underneath that skirt," Zaco replied to Jason who smiled mischievously.Meanwhile, amid the bustling school atmosphere, Max and Irri
As the tension escalated between Max, Eddy, and Zaco, the school courtyard became a battleground of words and unresolved issues. Irrisia stood by Max's side, her presence lending strength to the trio facing Zaco's menacing aura. " There is nothing you can do to Eddy as long as he is with me, You better deal with it. Besides, you had it coming." Max said looking at Zaco who was now angry. " So, you think you are untouchable because you are now having some little cash in your pocket. I wonder where you get that money from? We will see how long it's going to last." Zaco said with a grin and worked out on the trio. Eddy was relieved. He looked at Max and smiled " You just saved me, I am forever indebted to you." He said with relief.Suddenly, Irrisia felt a subtle vibration from her pocket. Max looked at her as she stared at her phone.[Ting!] She retrieved her phone to find a message from the system:[ "Task assigned: Uncover Zaco's true motives and expose his deceit. Gather evidence d
