After exchanging pleasantries and getting familiar with a few employees, Tristan headed back to the car. He told them he wouldn't be at work very often but he'll supervise things from wherever he is, and he went ahead to say that he had an eye on the establishment that would report the slightest mistake to him."Where do we go now, sir?" Max inquired."Back to campus, I have dinner with Claudia by six, and I have another class in an hour, at least I should attend the next class since I was absent in the last."Having received this information, Max started the engine and drove off to campus.On their way, Tristan had done some research into the system concerning Paul's disappearance."So what clues do I have?"[ processing...][ Paul's previous location earlier today; the boutique][ Paul's phone number]" Hmm, I wanted to meet his other friends to find out some things from him, but it seems I can't do that since Paul's mother said he remembered nothing, " Tristan sighed." Can you tra
He stood perplexed, with Max by his side, unable to understand what was going on."Yes?" he answered.For a moment Laura was I'm disbelief, seeing his appearance alone meant that he had changed a lot. What she saw with her eyes was wealth, but couldn't tell its source or origin.She turned from Tristan to Max and wondered, who the man was. "Must be Tristan's new boss," She thought."Well it will be fine to humiliate him in front of his boss," She scoffed as she approached Tristan with the cops."Is this the man?" the officer pointed at Tristan."Nodding her head, Laura replied, " Yes, he is the one."Tristan remained speechless, he couldn't understand what else he had done to Laura to call the cops on him, he hadn't seen her since that incident and he thought the school disciplinary units were taking up the case themselves, so what was happening?" I'm afraid young man that you are under arrest, for attempted rape and we suspect that you have a hand in Paul Travis's disappearance," Th
The door was closed behind him, and the only way out was with one of those cards used by the cop, however, Tristan had no interest in that, he was utterly fascinated by how luxurious the detention chamber was."Why so grand?" he wondered.[ Because I wanted you comfortable enough to plot your escape, remember there are tons of security cameras in here, good luck ]"Oh, I thought you snubbed me, but hey, cameras? " he exclaimed, and only then did he notice the numerous CCTV cameras hanging at several corners in the chamber."Shit, why did you let them put the camera?" he asked in a fit of rage.[ I have no control over what was done with the place, it's a detention chamber remember? it has to be well secured just in case]"I thought you said you wanted me to be comfortable, it means you are aware of the reason why this place was made like this,"[Goodluck host]"Why do you keep doing that?" He nagged but once more, the system went silent."Sigh."~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~Same day4:00 pmThe
Outside the detention chamber, an old man approached the counter where the receptionist arranged some files and typed some things on the computer in front of her.This old man was none other than the general, the same cop who had instructed Tristan to be put into the detention chamber until the investigation was over."Excuse me?" he called out to the clerk while walking to the counter."Sir?" The clerk stood at attention and greeted him with a stern look."Where is the phone belonging to that young man who was locked up a few hours ago?" he asked in a stern and serious tone."The one accuses of attempted rape sir?"She asked."Yes, the detective had asked for it, once unlocked we get access to a few pieces of information related to Paul's whereabouts at least we hope to," He answered and without further ado, she took Tristan's phone out of the drawer underneath the counter and handed it over to the general." Thank you," the general left immediately with the devices in his hand. As so
6:30 pmClaudia's apartmentShe stormed into the house furious with tears trickling down her cheeks. She was dressed in a cherry red mini thigh-revealing gown dress and a matching purse, coupled with red heels.Her makeup was ruined by the stream of tears and her face looked like she had just been through a tough time. Her mother, who believed she understood what was wrong, went after her immediately as she ran upstairs.More than thirty minutes before this, she left the house excited that she was going on a date."Is it the guy from the bar?" her mother asked her and she nodded her head sheepishly.Her parents supported her and indeed they were delighted to see that she found someone who she loved effortlessly. Unlike her past relationships where the guys make the most effort, this time Claudia pushed herself into it.They told her to be careful and sent her a large sum of money, telling her to have fun only for her to return thirty minutes later looking like a child who had been who
"Something illegal? what is that supposed to mean, man?" Tristan asked, he felt offended by the unexpected approach."I don't know okay, dude I don't know what to think, you got back this morning suddenly super rich, you paid the fees of over a hundred students and more, and you suddenly have a Range Rover, and a bodyguard yet the cops are after you, what do you expect me to think, I'm worried that you are into drugs, man I'm not going to lie," Harry couldn't believe he just confessed to Tristan, but he felt that it has to be done."Oh, you thought I was into drugs? I'm disappointed man, why do you even think I'll do that?" Tristan couldn't blame him much, he also never expected to be rich overnight, and with the sequence of events one may think that he was into drugs or something dirty."I don't know man, only you know what you are doing that got you this rich, and also the cops said something about you being involved in Paul's disappearance which, I won't lie, made me feel like you
5:00 amTristan had instructed the system to wake him up as early as possible so he could leave the dorm without being noticed. Taking the same appearance as last night, he walked out of the dorm while Harry was still sound asleep.He had a lot to accomplish today, from interrogating Laura to apologizing to Claudia, and finally finding Paul and completing the task before time ran out because he had until 10;00 am the next day to complete this.While seated in the car, Max asked where he wanted to go, he was surprised to see Max wide awake as if he hadn't gone to bed the previous night. "Did you sleep at all last night?" Tristan asked."Yes, and I hope you had a good rest, sir?" Max inquired with a smile on his face."Yes I did, right now I have no idea how to start, I just have to leave the campus before the cops come here again, and before studens realize that I am here,I can't let them see me. Also, I need to go to Laura's house but it's too early and her parents would get suspicio
Mr. Ortega was not shocked nor impressed with the sudden change in demeanor, he had experienced it before so it did not make a difference."Listen, young man, I don't want to stretch this for too long, here is a document with everything you need to know about the house, you can sign if you are willing to buy it," without regard or respect, he handed the paper over to Tristan who took it with an apathetic attitude.His jaws dropped at the price of the building, despite having a lot of money at the moment, the prices of these things still surprised him a lot."70 million," He whispered and contemplated whether or not to purchase it, he wasn't sure about his next reward and how much it was going to be.Also, he was not confident in completing the quest as it seems a lot trickier and almost impossible. But he didn't want to be looked down upon by the old Man before him so he signed it in the hope to acquire more and if not from the system, then from his position as a managing director."D
