The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 66: JASON ARRESTED
Since they had gotten the one they were looking for, even though Todd and Corner had supported Jason in the lie, the fact that they were still kids in the eyes of the officers was what saved them, plus, when Officer Lucy asked them they confessed that Jason threatened them so they were just allowed to be and told to go home"What are you guys going to do with him?" Todd asked Officer Lucy while the watched Jason getting cuffed "Well, because of how serious his offense is and how many there are, first being in possession of an illegal firearm then for being underaged while doing so, coercing you guys to help and then lying to officers and obstructing justice I would say he stands the chance of actually going to prison instead of a detention center since he's a minor" Off over Lucy said"But his birthday is this week and he'll be eighteen, a legal adult by then so will it still be the same?" Corner who was close by asked "In that case I don't know how the judge would rule it, we will
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 67: ANTHONY’S PLAN
A couple of minutes earlier, just after the samples for the gun residue test were taken, the female forensics officer was making sure that everything about them was in order so that handing it over to her partner would be easy, whereas, Officer Wilson and the rest were in Jason's stall, plotting on how they were going to switch the labelsUnbeknownst to everyone else, Anthony already knew what those guys were up to so while on his own, in his stall and seating on the closed lid of the water closet, he tried to come up with his very own strategy that would be enough to outmaneuver them. They had the numbers and trust of the others because of Officer Wilson on their side while he had almost nothing.Everything was stacked against him and even if he opens up about Officer Wilson's plan to switch the labels to everyone then it'll end up being his word, the words of a suspect who one of the samples belong to, and an officer of the law who's automatically trusted by the others. Also, there
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 68: HOW ANTHONY’S POWER WORKS
At his current level, even though he's able to read people's thoughts, it would be hard pressed to term Anthony's ability as TELEPATHY and that's only because of how his power actually works or I should say the limitations of his ability.Unlike telepathy where the bearer can access and serf through the thoughts of the target and as a result fish out whatever information they're looking for almost effortlessly, Anthony's is more complicated and to an extent limited. First of all he sees the thoughts visually with a screen that pops above the target's head, also he can only see surface level thoughts which are all floating around thereHe cannot go straight, surfing into the mind of the target and get the information he's looking for, but since he can see surface level thoughts he trained himself in other areas to make the target bring the exact thought he's looking for come to the focus for him. So, whenever he wants to know something about someone without first having a direct though
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 69: TEN SECONDS
He needed to get the female forensics officer closer to them over there so that they wouldn't have to actually come into the restroom to carry out their own part of the plan. This is because they would be seen by Officer Sully and the other officers that came here with him and even though they were also busy looking out the window and down at the crowd of onlookers, surely they would still notice if someone new walks into the restroom.So, Anthony took the initiative and got closer to her but not getting so much into her personal space as that might break how enthralled she was in their conversation while leading her backwards until she got closer to the door and to Tina and Jerry who were there, waiting for the right moment to strike."You really think this will work?" Jerry who was concerned, hands prepared to gently pull the bag from the female forensics officer's hand asked Tina who was the one Anthony was communicating with using hand gestures."He said that you and her partner b
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 70: MANAGER’S APOLOGY
"So, cat's got your tongue or something? Why aren't you saying anything?!" Tina who was annoyed at Anthony's lack of response to their questions started to get all up in his face, trying to get him to say something about what she wanted to know, but the man carried himself like he just wasn't going to.Jerry began to laugh nervously after seeing how the two who were like ice and fire and her antics was beginning to draw attention to them. Since the police were already leaving because Officer Sully had done his little interview with the reporters, Tina was like the next attraction that kept people around instead of going back to whatever they were supposed to"Umm, babe, I think you should calm down a little" Jerry who looked nervous tugged on her shirt, trying to get her to notice all the eyes she had brought on them but she was too angry to notice."Why should I?! After the interesting but still nerve racking experience we had just to help him out with whatever mess he got himself in
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 71: WHO RESERVED THE GRAND BLUE?
Walking deeper into the restaurant and the only sounds he could hear were those being made by the other staff in the kitchen area, who all sounded extremely busy like they were preparing more than they usually do. So, not having put on his uniform yet, he went there to ask what was happening."The manager said we'll be having an important guess show up here any moment from now and that all of us should be ready to cater to their every need and demands, you especially since this will be your first time working a shift for someone of that importance" Casey told him before pushing him out the kitchen so that he goes and get dressed for work. He was already a few minutes late as is but he's pardoned because the restaurant was under reservation and no customers to complain.Inside the staff dressing room Anthony was left to his pondering thoughts while he wore the vest part of his uniform "Hmm, I wonder who that important person is. I tried reading Casey's, Michael's and the other workers
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 72: ANTHONY QUITS
Julius chuckled "Would you believe me if I said that I missed you? It's been a while since I last saw a pig so it got me thinking out you" he smirked Hearing what he had to say Anthony scoffed while he rolled his eyes "Looks like you have nothing else better to do and I have no use speaking with the likes of you so when you're done, do me a favor and get lost" Once everyone heard what Anthony said they were all shocked at his brazenness to speak to someone as important as Julius in such a way. Casey and Michael looked like they about to lose their minds and Marilyn appeared angry with her hands clenched. "I'm so sorry about his behavior Mr. Maple, I'll make sure to sanction him once this is done" bent over in front of Julius, Marilyn begged, almost groveling. Once she got really close in order to give her apology, Julius smacked his tongue in contempt, sneering as he looked at her while she was pressing her head on his table and kneeling to beg him but then realizing that his reac
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 73: THE TRUTH ABOUT ANNABELLE
Julius grabbed the vest from his person and dropped it on the table, in front of his empty plate "And who says you can just quit without my permission? You're going to be fired today but don't think that means you get the opportunity to twist it into a resignation, I won't allow that" he said which was when Anthony who had taken the first step to leave looked ahead and saw the door get blocked by two bodyguards which appeared to belong to Julius, meaning that Anthony was trapped until Julius says that he isn't. "Really?" Anthony stopped then rolled his eyes "I'm sure the manager here agrees with me that your resignation is declined and since you're still on the job then do your work and clean this up" Julius said then extended his hand out which had an empty wine glass in it and Casey rushed to fill it with the wine she had with her, for him. Once filled he brought it closer, stirred it, smelled it, tasted it then poured it on the table next to where he dropped Anthony's vest "No—
