Sebastian entered his office, ready to tackle another busy day. He glanced at his watch, noting it was just past eight. It had been a week since Samuel had started working at Prime Enterprises, and the beggar-turned-cleaner had already become a topic of conversation among the staff.

Samuel's hard work and friendly demeanor were beginning to win over even the most skeptical employees.

As he sat at his desk, his secretary, Abigail, entered with a stack of documents. "Good morning, Mr. President. These are the reports from the finance department. Also, there's a meeting scheduled with the board at ten."

"Thank you, Abigail," Sebastian replied, taking the reports from her. "How's Samuel doing? Have you noticed anything unusual?"

Abigail smiled, shaking her head. "Actually, Samuel is doing exceptionally well. He's always the first to arrive and the last to leave. The cleaning staff have taken a liking to him, and he's even helped out in other areas when he saw a need. His work ethic is im

    "Mr. President, the board meeting is about to start.” Abigail’s voice came through.The senior management board meeting which was supposed to be held yesterday by 10am, was shifted to today because of the meeting with the junior management staff.Sebastian was in his office, engrossed in a finance report, when the intercom buzzed. "Thank you, Abigail. I will be there shortly," Sebastian replied, closing the report and standing up. He straightened his tie, took a deep breath, and walked out of his office. As he made his way to the meeting room, he passed Samuel, who was diligently vacuuming the hallway. Samuel gave him a respectful nod, which Sebastian returned with a slight smile. The cleaner's dedication had not gone unnoticed, and his story of perseverance resonated with many in the company.The board meeting was long and intense, filled with discussions about quarterly earnings, future projections, and strategic moves. Throughout the meeting, Sebastian kept thinking about Samue

    The next day at work, Samuel lingered near the entrance to the security office, his broom in hand as he listened to the guards’ conversation. They were discussing the upcoming weekend game, their voices light and jovial. Samuel knew this was his chance.“Hey there, fellas.” He called out cheerfully, stepping inside. “Talking about the big game this weekend?”The guards looked up and smiled. “Hey, Samuel. Yeah, just discussing who’s gonna take home the trophy this year.”Samuel grinned. “I have got my money on the Titans. They’ve been unstoppable this season.”The guards laughed, and one of them, a burly man named Jake, nodded in agreement. “You might be right, Samuel. Those guys are a force to be reckoned with.”Samuel chatted with them for a few more minutes, his friendly demeanor putting everyone at ease. As the conversation continued, he casually steered it towards the topic of the new security measures.“So, I heard there have been some upgrades around here.” He said, trying to so

    The sudden shout froze Samuel in his tracks, heart pounding as he turned to see another security guard approaching. This one was leaner than the first one that questioned him earlier, but his expression was equally stern."Hey you! Stop there right now!" The security guard barked, his eyes narrowing with suspicion.Samuel forced a calm smile, though his mind raced to come up with a plausible story. "Hello, officer." He said, turning to face the guard fully. "Is there a problem?"The guard stepped closer, eyes flicking to the keycard Samuel still clutched in his hand. "What were you doing in the secure storage room? That area is off-limits to janitorial staff."This is the second time within a few minutes that Samuel is being told that. It shows the importance of the document he took from the secure storage.He did not actually know what it would be used for, he just had to do what he was paid for.Samuel raised the keycard, keeping his tone light. "I was just cleaning up, sir. Missed

    Samuel’s hand trembled slightly as he ended the call. The smooth, polished voice had unnerved him more than he cared to admit. Leaning back in his chair, he took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing thoughts. His reprieve was short-lived, however, as his phone buzzed again, the same unknown number flashing on the screen.He answered, steeling himself for whatever was next. “Hello?”“Listen carefully, old man.” The voice said, skipping any pleasantries. “Your next task requires a bit more finesse. You are going to install a virus into the systems of Abigail, Sebastian, and William Prime. Their systems are well-guarded, so you will need to be discreet.”Samuel could not believe what he was listening to, the task could look difficult this time, but with the right money, he would still go for it.Samuel’s mind raced. “How do you expect me to do that?”“You will use your cleaning duties as cover. Each of their offices has a computer. When you are in there, plug in this USB drive.” The

    Abigail moved swiftly through the maze of cubicles and offices, clutching a folder of crucial documents. She knew that securing these files was imperative; the virus attack had shown them just how vulnerable they were. As she reached the secure storage room, she swiped her keycard and hurried inside.The storage room was dimly lit, its rows of shelves filled with binders, boxes, and safes containing the company’s most valuable papers. Abigail quickly made her way to the safe where the share certificate document was kept, her heart pounding in her chest. She entered the combination, her fingers trembling slightly as the lock clicked open.Swinging the door open, she froze. The space where the share certificate for Prime Enterprise 2 should have been was empty. Her breath caught in her throat as she stared at the vacant spot, unable to believe what she was seeing. Panic surged through her as she frantically searched the safe, hoping against hope that the document had merely been mispl

    Sebastian spent the night in his office, pouring over the security footage and documents. His mind buzzed with questions and suspicions, but nothing conclusive. As dawn broke, he leaned back in his chair, rubbing his tired eyes. This breach was too coordinated to be a random act. He needed answers, and he needed them fast. He picked up his phone and dialed the Deal team’s leader, Anthony Walker.“Anthony, it’s Sebastian. I need your team here first thing this morning. We are dealing with a serious security breach.” “Sorry about that boss, what breach specifically if I may?” Anthony needed to know what exactly his team were going to deal with. “Someone stole the share certificate document for Prime Enterprise 2.” “We’ll be there, Mr. Prime,” Anthony replied, his voice steady. “What’s the plan?” “We need to question everyone who had access to the secure storage room last week. Start with the senior management board. Meet me in the conference room at 8 AM.” “Understood. We’l

    As the first light of dawn crept into the sky, the Deal team was back in the conference room, ready to continue their investigation. The tension in the room was thick, the urgency intensed. Sebastian sat at the head of the table, his eyes scanning the list of junior management staff to be questioned. Each name represented another piece of the puzzle, another chance to find the missing link. Anthony stood by the whiteboard, markers in hand. “Alright team, today we focus on the junior management staff. We have ten names to get through. Let’s get started.” First up was Mary Carter, a bright and ambitious assistant manager. She entered the room with a mix of confidence and apprehension, her eyes darting around before settling on Anthony. “Ms. Carter,” Anthony began. “We need to ask you about your activities last week, particularly any access you had to the secure storage room.” Mary knew there was something going on in the Enterprise, but she had no idea what it was. Her express

    The room buzzed with a renewed sense of urgency. Abigail's surprise was deep as she processed the shocking revelation about her keycard. She looked around the room, her eyes wide with disbelief."This can not be right," Abigail said, her voice trembling. "I have no idea how my keycard was used."Sebastian leaned forward, his gaze intense. "Abigail, are you sure there’s no way your keycard could have been duplicated or stolen?"Abigail shook her head vehemently. "I keep it with me at all times. There is no way someone could have taken it without my knowledge."Anthony interjected, his tone calm but firm. "We need to consider all possibilities. If Abigail's keycard was used, someone had to have access to it, or a way to duplicate it. The next logical step is to question the security guards."Sebastian nodded in agreement. “That is true, let’s bring in the security team. We need to get to the bottom of this."Sebastian picked up the phone and made the call to the security department. Wit

    As Sebastian, Abigail, and William Prime left Prime Enterprise and entered the government building that housed the Director General's office, the tension was evident. The imposing tower served as a stark reminder of the power housed within. But they were all unwavering in their determination. There was nothing that would stop them from seeking answers.Clearly taken aback by their unexpected arrival, the front desk receptionist asked them to wait while she verified their meeting. They spoke briefly over the intercom, and then she pointed to two guards standing at a door further inside the structure."The Director General is expecting you," she announced nervously.The guards unlocked the doors and ushered them down a long corridor lined with pictures of former officials. Their resolve to face the man behind the questionable order echoed in every step of the seemingly endless walk. They finally came to a big oak door. After knocking twice, the guards forced it open, exposing the Dire

    After hanging up the phone with Anthony, Sebastian sat still in his chair for a while, his thoughts racing with incredulity and frustration. Although there was a lot of tension in his office, he did not waste any time moping. He got up from his chair, grabbed his office phone, and called William Prime's extension. "Uncle William, please come to my office right away," Sebastian said in a stern and demanding tone. He hung up without waiting for a response, then dialed Abigail. "Abigail, please meet me in my office now. It is about the Nike lawsuit and the commissioner." --- In a matter of minutes, William Prime infiltrated Sebastian's office with a worried expression in place of his customary composure. Abigail trailed closely behind, her face displaying a mix of interest and anxiety. Although he was still standing and pacing close to his desk, Sebastian motioned for them to sit down. "I just got off the phone with Anthony," he said, his voice tight. "He told me that the

    As he tapped on the holding cell's metal bars, the officer stared at Cindy, Romy, and Senior Nike. "You might want to hear this," he said in a casual yet excited tone. Senior Nike looked up from his seat, his face tired but intrigued. Cindy and Romy looked at each other, their faces hopeful but tense."So, what is it?" Senior Nike inquired, his voice steady despite the weight of their recent ordeal.The officer was holding up a phone. “Miss Angelina's work has been going above and beyond. The application for bail has been filed. Although it is not yet complete, it is a positive step.”As the words took hold, there was a brief pause in conversation. After that, the three felt a wave of relief as though a switch had been flipped. For the first time since their arrest, Senior Nike's stern manner softened as he exhaled deeply. Romy smiled with a mix of surprise and delight, and Cindy's face brightened as she clapped her hands together."We are leaving this place," Cindy declared, her vo

    Greene unhappiness was unhidden, as an overwhelming sense of failure pervaded the air as Greene and his group filed out of Gray's deserted hideout. As the group left the ramshackle building, the sun was sinking, illuminating the streets with a grim orange tint. As they returned to the black SUVs parked a few meters away, the only sound they heard was the crunch of their boots on gravel. Greene continued walking forward, his thoughts racing with frustration and unresolved issues. Once more, Gray had escaped their grasp, and this time it felt intimate. He believed that the timing was ideal and the mission was flawless. Someone had told him, and Greene could not get rid of the suspicion that the system itself was the source of the betrayal. "Back to the station," Greene said curtly as he climbed into the front passenger seat of the leading vehicle. Parker cautiously glanced at him as he slid into the driver's seat, but remained silent. His eyes were fixed on the road ahead, his jaw

    In her office, Angelina’s phone rang. She picked it up immediately, recognizing her cousin’s number.“It’s done,” the Director General said in a low voice. “The commissioner has agreed to submit a request for bail, though it’s far from certain that the court will approve it.”A wave of relief washed over Angelina, but she knew better than to celebrate prematurely. “Thank you, cousin. I know this wasn’t easy.”“Just remember, Angelina,” he warned, “this could backfire on both of us. If the Nikes don’t show up for even a single hearing, we’ll be implicated in their escape, and the fallout will be devastating.”She nodded, though he couldn’t see her. “I understand. I’ll make sure they know the gravity of the situation. They won’t risk it.”As she hung up, Angelina sat back, her mind racing with the next steps. She was painfully aware of how high the stakes had risen, but she was determined to see this through. She dialed the Nikes, instructing them to be prepared for the bail hearing and

    Angelina paced in her office, her mind spinning with possibilities. She knew the stakes were sky-high, and any chance she had to protect the Nikes was slipping away. Her only option now was to secure a bail for them, if only to keep their case out of the public eye for a little longer. Taking a deep breath, she dialed her cousin, the Director General, her fingers tightening around the phone as it rang.He answered after a few rings, his voice as calm and steady as ever. “Angelina, what is it now?”“Cousin,” she began, her voice steady but with an underlying urgency, “I need you to do something else for me. I know it’s a lot to ask, but please consider it.”He paused, as if bracing himself. “Go on.”“I need you to arrange bail for the Nike family,” she said, every word carefully measured. “If they’re kept in custody, their reputation will be tarnished beyond repair. Their businesses, their livelihoods, will crumble before they’ve even had a chance to defend themselves.”The Director Ge

    Greene and his group charged into Gray's hiding place, braced for battle, their movements coordinated and soundless as they broke through the door and spread out. There was a strange stillness in the air, like the calm after a storm, and the room was oppressively dimly lit. They moved quickly, checking corners, staying vigilant, and keeping their weapons at the ready, but with every second that went by, the team felt more and more uneasy. Greene quickly realized that Gray was not present.Greene straightened, his jaw clenched in frustration as he looked around. He had thought Gray would be in the shadows, huddled in a corner, about to run. Rather, the space was lifeless, frigid, and empty, as though Gray had departed long before they did. Some papers were strewn about, a chair was overturned, and there was a slight smell of cigarette smoke, all evidence of hurried packing. He had definitely been here recently, but he had left before they could apprehend him.Greene took out his phon

    Gray's pulse accelerated as he gazed at his phone, his fingers clenched so tightly that his knuckles went white. He was taken aback by his private investigator's news, and a cold shiver went down his spine. He had been hoping for positive news, perhaps even proof that his adversaries were losing sight of him. Rather, it was a shock to learn that Elliot had given the special unit team a lead."Are you sure about this?" Gray demanded, attempting to maintain composure in spite of his growing panic. "To what extent do they know?"In order to emphasize the gravity of the situation, the investigator's voice was tense. "From what we can tell, sir, they are getting closer to where you are. Elliot's tip appears to be specific enough to give them a ballpark estimate of your location. The team has already mobilized and is probably currently on their way. There is not much time for you."Gray's thoughts were racing as he weighed his options, and his eyes were darting around the room. His hiding

    As the day went on, Greene walked around the dark precinct office, reviewing all of the things he had said to Eliot. Despite his natural tendency to exercise caution, Greene was aware that Eliot's assistance might be crucial to destroying Gray ShelfHe looked down at the screen as the phone in his hand suddenly vibrated. An unknown number. Greene answered, bracing himself as his heart began to race a bit."This is Detective Greene," he stated firmly."Detective," Eliot replied, maintaining the same guarded tone as before. "I have given it some thought. If you want my assistance with Gray, I have some conditions."Greene gripped the phone with clenched fingers. "Go ahead."After a brief silence, Eliot spoke again in a composed yet firm tone. "First and foremost, I do not want my name on any arrest lists. When this is finished, I will walk away clean. No trials or handcuffs. Second, I need to be compensated. A million dollars should be enough to cover the costs of risking my life. Fina
