CHAPTER 21Ace Blake's room.Ace allowed everyone to sit near the bed, watching Luke who was preparing with his laptop on his lap. Luke was indeed a technology expert, he was Ace's trusted hacker. So far, Luke's skills have helped him a lot for his personal needs. But this time, Luke knew that the problem they were facing was not just a small one.Ace lent him his super-expensive laptop to support their planned hacking action. They then sat in a circle with Luke as the centerpiece. And Nicholas immediately gave Luke the link he found at the scene of Elena's death.Luke looked serious with the laptop in front of him. His eyes stared straight, while his forehead frowned seriously. Usually, they would play video games to pass the time. But what they were dealing with this time was a case of someone's death. No games, no fun.Ace pulled the chair in the corner of the room closer to Luke, he stared at the screen and asked, "How? Were you able to break into the dark site's server security?"

CHAPTER 23New York City Police Headquarters.Alicia sat inside a two-by-two-meter enclosed room at the New York City police headquarters. Her eyes stared coldly at the wall in front of her, her gaze blank. Her hands were folded on a wooden table with a glass surface. This room contains only a table, a chair, and CCTV cameras in every corner. This was her death seat, even though Alicia was not necessarily guilty of the case she was facing.Two policemen in full uniform approached Nicholas who was standing behind black glass. One of them, Michael, tapped Nicholas on the shoulder. "Detective?"And Nicholas turned to the source of the voice. Michael was a police officer who usually conducted interrogations in the office. He was a tall man with a thick black mustache that attracted attention. Square glasses adorned his brown eyes. He looked at Nicholas curiously, before a smile finally lifted his grayish lips."Michael?""This is Peter, our new colleague in the office. He just came in tod

CHAPTER 25Golden High School.After all the deaths that occurred within the school's dormitory, Mr. Wilson reopened the school for study programs like the previous days. Mr. Wilson always thought of money first, and the longer the school remained closed, the more Mr. Wilson would worry about the image of his school. He tried his best to shut up the media, forbidding them from covering more news that would bring down Golden High School's good image. Especially since the school was preparing for their annual event. Mr. Wilson really didn't want to take any chances.Mr. Wilson had already relinquished that responsibility to Nicholas. He was a competent young detective. They had never met, but whoever a Chief like Paul recommended, Mr. Wilson would follow.Alicia now sat in the back row and looked at Mr. Payne (one of the teachers working at Golden High School). He was a biology teacher. He studied biological sciences for more than seven years before being able to teach at the school.Mr

CHAPTER 27San Antonio, July 2012*flashback chapter*Someone's POV.Do you know what it's like, when your perfect, perfectly fine life suddenly takes a very strange turn and changes completely. Her complete life suddenly becomes a mess. You are no longer the main character in your own life story.Do you know what it feels like to be the second person, not the lead actor who gets the spotlight at center stage? Even if there is someone better, you will be replaced easily.Your feelings are ignored by everyone.Do you know how that feels?Because that's what I was feeling when that strange girl came to my house. I didn't know her, but they said she was part of this family. Since when?That day she came to my house. She was a child who survived the fire incident. My parents said he was the son of one of their friends. They were very close and felt indebted in the past, so they felt the need to save that little girl with her pale face. I don't know why, but my parents had to pick up, I me

CHAPTER 29 Cafeteria - Golden High School. Alicia moved her plate away. She had just finished her lunch in the cafeteria-alone. Because Brittany had chosen to go back to her room to struggle with the history assignment she had to submit it this afternoon to Mr. Wilson Blake rather than finish the meaty pasta. Believe me, the old man was demanding and strict, he didn't hesitate to report students with low grades to the parents and let them get their punishment. For whatever reason, since leaving the police station yesterday, Alicia felt like she needed to change-or maybe she already had. The Brooklyn-born girl now wears her hair in a ponytail, while a few strands are allowed to fall past her ears. Alicia's emotions also tend to be more sensitive these days. She has become more sensitive to her surroundings and this reminds her of the difficult times she has gone through in the past. Her stomach was filled to the brim with a portion of meaty pasta and a cold vanilla latte. But that w
