A few minutes later.Elora woke up and found herself sitting outside at the wooden bench, where she had previously sat and fed two pizza slices to a street dog.“Why am I here?” She looked a little confused, even though Russell was sitting right next to her. The last thing she remembered was booking a room at a new hotel, and then coming out with Russell for dinner. And then she didn’t remember what happened. But she felt dizzy. “Russell, I don’t feel well.”“Let’s go back to the hotel room, Mom,” he helped her get up, and he walked with her to the hotel across the four-lane road.Kyra was still there, sitting in her car, and she was very surprised to see Russell and his mother. They both looked poor and pitiful as they crossed the street, but she didn’t feel all that pity toward him because she couldn’t forget seeing his picture on Karensa’s mobile not long ago.“I saw his picture at the party, and now he’s now in my sight… What sort of a coincidence is this?” she gritted her teeth,
Benjamin finished cleaning the shop, and then woke Christopher up first.Christopher found his pants torn, which exposed his fat, hairy thigh. “W-What the hell happened to me?” He tried to cover it with his hands, but it didn’t work, so he used a napkin that was on the table. “B-Benjamin, why are my pants torn? And…” he could see the workers that were still lying unconscious. “What’s up with them?”“It’s better that you don’t ask me about it, Boss,” Benjamin said in a rather dramatic tone. “I don’t want you shitting in your pants.”“W-Why?” Christopher’s cheeks sweated from anxiousness. “W-What happened? Why don’t I remember anything? Did some social justice warriors lose their minds and attack us because we don’t have equal male and female staff members?”“Don’t even get me started. Since you’re smart, I’m sure you’ll figure it out, Boss. Those guys are just sleeping, so you can wake them up. There are a lot of pending orders, so hurry them up,” Benjamin said and walked out of the hu
With her slender waist touching the wall, Kyra was waiting for Russell to go back into his room. It was silent for a few seconds. “Did he leave?” She opened the door, and to her shock, he was standing right next to the door.“What are you doing here?” he asked rather coldly, arms folded across the chest, standing on one leg and leaning his back to the wall. Kyra’s expression immediately changed into that of a serious one. She stood straight and confidently said, “That’s my question. What are you doing with Karensa Raer? Is this your way of getting back at me?”Russell slightly frowned. “I don’t get it. Why do you care who I stick with after you basically kicked me out of the party without even trusting my words?”“You’re sticking to that ‘being innocent’ script, I see,” Kyra squinted her eyes. “If you’re truly innocent, you wouldn’t have given up so easily. You would have come to my house and at least tried to prove yourself.”“Huh, you talk like a lawyer. It’s always the man that me
By the time Kyra came home, she was surprised to see Regan talking with her mom.“Cyber attack, you say…” Charlotte looked surprised.“Yes, I have enough evidence to prove it to you, if you want,” Regan told her. “Our government wants to control my game. We both know that, but that’s only a part of their plan. Their main goal has always been to regulate the internet of our country and the world and rule the digital era. For that, they’ll launch a cyber attack which affects many sectors, including the banking sector. With that as an excuse, they’ll pass new bills that’ll remove the dollar and bring the crypto currency on board. Even the global internet will become highly regulated with every user given a specific digital ID. That means, only those they allow will be able to play my game or even open your banking system portal.”“That sounds a big stretch, Mr. Regan,” Kyra opined as she sat next to her mother, not closely but a foot away. “You’re talking about the government monitoring
Russell bought a new laptop and was busy installing applications in the new hotel room they were staying at. A part of him wanted him to bet on the games and earn more money, but he already had enough money in his bank account. So, why keep earning like a mad man? He thought this way. Nevertheless, he began to look at the Raer family and the Lynn family and the history they had. Most of the information he found online sounded too good to be true.Elora, on the other hand, was talking with the restaurant owner who was a woman in her forties, but she was wearing a red tank top and short blue jeans, despite being fat. And she didn’t even comb her hair properly, so she looked stupid and ugly to the eyes.“I think our neighbor takes drugs. I hear him shouting from the past hour,” Elora complained.“Oh, he’s probably just talking with his wife or something,” the owner replied casually.“No. Why don’t you please look into it?”“Fine, fine.” Even though she said that, she had no intention of
A family of five it was, and all five of them did not like each other, which made living together a literal hell for them.The father was a plumber. Recently, they lost their house because he was unable to pay the mortgage, and so they moved to this hotel. Since then, the wife was never polite with her husband. And the teenage daughters were too busy fighting for the mobile that they couldn’t care less about their parents’ quarrels.Their son, Bosner, was about nine years old. And he would look at others as if they were to be blamed for his hardships.Currently, Bosner was sitting next to an adult stranger in the cafeteria built on the southern side of the hotel. He gave gooseberries to this man and asked for his mobile for playing a game. The adult gave his mobile. Bosner played the online game, challenged his sisters and defeated them and got a good laugh out of it.“Can I take this mobile?” Bosner asked the adult man.“You want to take what?” The adult man was shocked. “You’re stil
Benjamin’s friend, Shadow, reached Teresa’s house on foot, but he was moving so fast he appeared as nothing but a faint black blur in the CCTV cameras.The dogs outside the estate didn’t even sense him and were busy eating their breakfast meals.Shadow entered the building. The first person he saw was Jennifer who was busy checking the new jewelry she bought.Arnold was sleeping in his room. Viola was quarreling with her brother.It didn’t take long for Shadow to find the hidden entrance into the underground base, and when he entered it, he was surprised by how big it was.“Damn, this base looks like it was built over two centuries ago…” he thought. As he explored the chambers, he noticed that there were many animal kinds there, as well as some humans being experimented on. Shadow had seen much more gruesome things, so what he saw now did not faze him.He noticed a particular cell, where people in white suits and masks were experimenting on a child who looked about five or six years o
Benjamin stopped at a small house to deliver the pizza. The young lady that was standing outside took the pizza but began to walk into her house without paying.“Excuse me, you didn’t pay yet, ma’am,” Benjamin reminded her.“I know,” she said, turning back. “But a few weeks ago, I was walking down the road, talking with a friend on my mobile. Some guy riding a scooter came in my way and then snatched the mobile from me and left quickly.”“So?” Benjamin looked confused. “What does that have to do with paying for the pizza?”“It has everything to do with it because you also came on a two-wheeler and reminded me of that terrible experience I had,” she blurted. “So, for compensation, I took the pizza for free. To be honest, this isn’t enough for compensation, but I’ll settle with it.”“Ma’am, everything you just said is being recorded with the camera in my helmet,” Benjamin said. “If I go to court with this, you’ll be forced to pay a few thousand dollars for wasting my time and effort.”“
