作者: South Twig
Once the detention center's steel doors swung shut, it was over for the Grays. Three days later, the Internet got the police's official statement.

Carrie was suspected of data tampering and fraud that involved two million dollars, including the fee she charged per person sabotaged. Her cousin had been splitting the illegal money when the cops barged into the internet cafe to arrest him.

Chris, Yves, and Henry were named as accomplices due to their assisting, watching the coast, and hiding the

  • The Price of Blind Trust   Chapter 10 They're Done For

    Henry's blade whispered through the air as he swung. I didn't move away. Instead, I held up the cylinder and clicked the switch.Highly concentrated bear spray jetted right into Henry's eyes, nose, and mouth. A scream that sounded almost inhuman escaped his lips, and his knife clanged against the ground.He clutched his face tightly and rolled like the wretched maggot he was on the ground. Tears drooled everywhere on the ground, fusing with his snot and saliva. It took him everything just to breathe.The sudden counterattack petrified Yves. I pulled out the high-wattage taser that was in my sleeve, causing blue arcs of electricity to crackle in the air. Then, I promptly slammed that taser right into Yves' lower back before he could recover.His whole body convulsed violently, and his eyes rolled into the back of his head. As Yves crumpled into the ground, the rancid stench of urine filled the air.Only Chris and I were left standing in this claustrophobic dorm. Chris was looking w

    Once the detention center's steel doors swung shut, it was over for the Grays. Three days later, the Internet got the police's official statement.Carrie was suspected of data tampering and fraud that involved two million dollars, including the fee she charged per person sabotaged. Her cousin had been splitting the illegal money when the cops barged into the internet cafe to arrest him.Chris, Yves, and Henry were named as accomplices due to their assisting, watching the coast, and hiding the crime. The Department of Education made it official that they were disqualified from the SATs forever. They had criminal records now.After an emergency meeting held by the Department of Education, they decided to open up a portal for 24 hours that would allow the sabotaged students to set up a case file with the police and reapply for the college they wanted.The dust had settled. I was in my dorm, packing up the last of my belongings. After all, the students who had guaranteed spots in Harla

  • The Price of Blind Trust   Chapter 8 The Family is Nuts

    It was mayhem in the police station’s lobby. All the sabotaged students’ parents were filling the room up as if it were a sardine can. The air was thick with loud curses, cries of women, and demands of severe punishment.I was sitting on a long bench furthest away from the entrance, watching the police cars’ siren lights strobing through the glass window.A black Maybach screeched to a halt at the entrance a while later. Joshua Gray was in a crisp suit, and he came in quickly with a pair of lawyers behind him. Darlene was close behind them, her eyes red and puffy. Her face was caked in expensive makeup she didn’t get to remove in time.Her sight tore through the crowd and found me immediately. Darlene shoved the throng away and made a beeline for me. "Nancy!" She raised her hand. "I’ll kill you, you little bastard!"I grabbed a cup of water and splashed its boiling contents right at her face.Darlene’s hand went straight to her face as she screeched in agony. Her heels slipped,

  • The Price of Blind Trust   Chapter 7 It's Out of Hand

    Things had gotten out of anyone's hands. The class athlete barged into the dorm room like an enraged lion. He grabbed Chris by his collar, flung him away, and lunged at Carrie. "Give me back my future, you bitch!"Carrie screamed like a gazelle that was about to be devoured. Henry and Yves stood adamantly before her, but their defense was torn apart by furious parents and their children alike.Fists and cracking slaps rained on the loyal watchdogs."Fuck them up! They're in on it too!""My child repeated his year three times! You ruined their future!"Screams, curses, and the sounds of everything smashing apart melded into a cacophony. I grabbed my suitcase and backed out from a corner, my face cool. I stood by the entrance, watching this drama unfold.This was their reckoning. The apoplectic crowd would destroy them even without me lifting a finger.As I arrived at the end of the corridor, the air was beginning to play the sirens of police cars. Fully armed officers rushed into

  • The Price of Blind Trust   Chapter 6 Unreasonable People

    Heavy tension solidified the air in my dorm into a tiny box. Henry was still covering his scalding face, gasping incessantly from the agony that was searing his head.Yves' eyes were tightly on my utility knife, so he didn't dare move a muscle.Carrie was still hiding behind her line of human shield, shaking from her tears. "Nancy, I know you hate me, but why did you fake those records? What did I ever do to you? You've ruined me!""That's the angle you're taking?" I snickered. "It'll only take the officers an IP and MAC address check to figure out you logged into 50 accounts. The Department of Education's servers can see everything. "Before you say anything else, I also know you had the money transferred through your distant cousin's illegal account."That killed Carrie's crying immediately. Her pupils narrowed as she fell onto Chris like jelly. It seemed that it finally hit her that I wasn't fooling around, as all her strength left her right then and there.Chris held her, but

  • The Price of Blind Trust   Chapter 5 Throw the Bait

    Dead silence settled within the group. My eyes were on the screen as I gleefully tried to picture the pallor of my classmates' faces.A long moment later, texts came in like a flood."That's photoshopped! You've lost your mind, Nancy!""Carrie would never do this! You'd do anything just to make her look bad!"Chris was the first to defend Carrie. "Faking an admissions office's stamp is a crime. You're going to get sued."Yves piled on the insult, "Jealousy isn't a good look on you. The Carrie we know wouldn't do something like this! Don't try to turn us against her!"Henry went straight to cursing. "Fuck you for starting rumors about her! I'll kill you!"These idiots were still trying to shield the very person pushing everyone to the brink. I ignored the fools. "You can still check your application, even if you've logged out. It's right there."That was the spark that lit the fuse. Three minutes later, the class nerd sent a 10-second audio message, and his voice was shrill an
