957 Words
The next morning, Mark was deep asleep when suddenly he was awoken by the loud sound of his ring tone.
Jumping up from the bed immediately, he stretched his body and reached out for his phone.
His gaze fell on the screen of his phone, surprisingly the number was from a secured line.
"And who the heck could this be?" Mark asked as he immediately picked up the call.
"Hello…is that you Williams Dave?... How did you even get my number?"
Mark questioned as he plopped back into his bed.
"Lord Scott, meet me at your university Cafeteria in 40 minutes… and come alone it's important."
The voice of Williams Dave was a bit vehement and laced with urgency.
"Okay I will be there and on time…how did you get my number, I don't recall ever giving it to you."
Mark asked, as he awaited an immediate response.
"Really, is that a question?"
"This is the personal guard to one of the most influential man on the continent you're talking to, I have my ways of getting things done. Many things you are yet to be known about me."
Williams Dave immediately said, his voice barely above whispers.
"Lord Scott, remember not to come to the cafeteria with your friend Damian, meet me alone."
Williams Dave added, his voice was laced with caution.
"Okay, I will do just that." Mark said as he hung up the phone.
"This better be good news today." Mark murmured as he immediately ran off, did his chores and took this bath.
Tip-toeing to Mr David and Rose McCall’s room, he peeped right through the slant opening on the door and realized that they weren't back from the party they had gone to last night.
"That's strange." Mark muttered to himself as he ran off to the garage, getting onto his bicycle, he rode off to the Silicon High university.
Moments later…
Mark is walking through the dark, quite and abandoned cafeteria holding his backpack in his hand, like he was scared.
"Hello…Williams Dave! Are you you there?"
Mark called out as his voice echoed through the empty hall.
Immediately, the light flickered on causing Mark to shudder backwards in trepidation.
"Lord Scott, how on earth could you have allowed those little brats humiliate you the way they did?"
Williams Dave asked as he walked closer to Mark holding a tablet which was playing the video of the ladies embarrassing Mark.
"Do they even realize who you are?"
"I mean who the hell are they?”
Williams Dave asked, his eyebrows furrowed in a mixture of anger and frustration.
"Williams Dave, I'm more infuriated on this than you can ever be."
Mark said as he and Williams Dave walked deeper into the empty cafeteria.
"We need to teach these girls an unforgettable lesson, all three of them.
Williams Dave said as they got to the other end of the cafeteria.
"What are we doing here exactly?"
Mark asked, his eyebrows furrowed in bewilderment.
"Wait for it!"
Williams Dave replied as he passed his smart watch and entered 6 digits code and a secret passage opened up at the end of the cafeteria.
"Get in Lord Scott, quickly."
Williams Dave said as he and Mark walked into the secret facility underground.
The secret facility had a elevator running down to the basement of the complex.
"What the hell!"
"Has this always been here?"
Mark asked as he gazed around the sophisticated facility in awe.
"Technically it has…your family, the Scott's, as you already know are one of the most influential families on the continent."
"Your dad had lots of safe houses and nuclear bunker built across the country… should incase you know what."
"Another world war?."
Mark chirped in immediately, his voice barely above whispers.
"Exactly, another war."
Williams Dave added immediately as he gazed at Mark who was still in shock staring at such a luxury and sophisticated facility.
"Come with me immediately, we are here to retrieve something very important."
Williams Dave said as they both walked into another section of the secret facility.
"There you go, we need to open that door but only your dad's palm and retina scan can access that safe."
"So I brought you down here hoping your retina scan could do the same magic."
Williams Dave said, with his voice barely above whispers as he gazed at Mark.
"How sure are you that my eye can access that safe?"
Mark questioned as he only stared askance at Williams Dave.
"We will never know until we try, will we?"
Walking over the safe, Mark put his face into the scanner and to their surprise, the safe opened.
"Good morning Lord Scott!" The robotic AI voice came back alive.
Walking over, Williams Dave quickly opened the safe and searched through the safe thoroughly.
"What are we looking for exactly?"
Mark asked as he plopped into a luxury leather chair behind him.
"Pictures, documents, anything that can point us to anyone who might have a reason to blow up jet 310, your dad's jet."
"I believe the only way we can find out the whole truth is by digging into your dad's past which means going through your dad's stuff."
Williams Dave continued his thorough search throughout the safe, going through every documents, letters, old flash drives and other things.
His gaze fell on an old invitation card that had the names of the host torn away.
"Why would Mr Stephen Scott have an invitation card that has the name of the host ripped away?"
Williams Dave thought to himself as he returned the card b
ack into the safe.
Williams Dave continued his search.
Moments into the search…
"Lord Scott!"
"I think I finally found something…”
