"Looking for a man named Victor Wells, he might have tons of intel on the other involved in this scheme" Nicholas said
"I am partnering you up with Darian Jones" The chief said
"He specializes in cases like these, I'm glad he was available for this one, I do want you to learn more about these cases, they are very common" He said
"Yeah, I don't normally work in these types of cases, I specialize more in cases to do with heroes, but this is still an injustice" Nicholas said

"Come in" Agent Jones said
"Nice to meet you sir" Nicholas said
"You must be Agent Woo, Nicholas Woo, I hear I'm working with you on the embezzlement case, that involves stolen money" Agent Jones said
"Yes sir, I have a lead on a guy his name is-
"Victor Wells, friend of our alleged victim, Lucas Robinson, I also have the names of the main suspects, which are his Financial Advisor, Max Long and his assistant, Johnny Lee, Victor Wells knows of the cheating that is happening to his friend, though he is scared to say anything, he doesn't want to put himself between this, though at the moment we can't tie any crime to him, which is what we have to find out tonight" Agent Jones said
"Yeah, man that is pretty much, yes yes sir, you are correct, that is exactly what we are going to the event for tonight, an honor to have someone as intelligent as you sir" Nicholas said shaking Darian's hand

"When I tell you the guy just knew all of this man it was crazy dude" Nicholas said to his original partner
"Yeah there is a reason why he works these intel cases, guys like that keep departments together" Agent Collins said
"So what are you doing tonight, Sebastian" Nicholas asked
"Man I'm just going home to see my wife and kids" He said
"Yeah, don't mess that up man, don't be like me, I did my wife so wrong, I sort of miss her from time to time, she is with another guy now, and I did my son so wrong too, but I'm taking him and a girl he's friends with to the event tonight" Nicholas said
"Yeah, I'm sorry about that man, I love my wife dearly and my children, I'd do anything for them, good luck with your case though see you tomorrow" Agent Collins said leaving

Screech Screech
Nicholas opened the door to his extra bedroom and watched August sleeping
"I'm sorry son, I'm so sorry for not being there when you were little" Nicholas said quietly to himself

"Morning dad" August said
"Hey August" Nicholas said
"What's for breakfast, hmm cereal pancakes, think I might just get something" August said
"Gotta go soon, I'm walking Elysia to some appointment she has" August said
"Yeah, I hope y'all are ready for tonight" Nicholas said
"Yeah, she has been talking about it and won't stop I'm just ready to get it over with" August said
"You know August, I was thinking about something" Nicholas said
"Yeah?"
"I was thinking that maybe you should go see your mom, have you even told her you're coming to the event tonight" Nicholas said
"Not this again" August said
"I understand you might not like that man, listen I didn't like him either, but your mom loves you and cares for you deeply, she was more than there for you than I'll ever be son" Nicholas said
"But you're here now" August said
"Yeah, and but just see your mom, son" Nicholas said
"Alright dad, I'll think about it" August said smiling
"See ya" he said walking out the door
"Well I'm glad he took that well, I was worried he'd be pissed off" Nicholas said sipping coffee
"I CANT BELIEVE HE RECOMMENDED THAT" August said yelling
"Well to be fair, you should see your mother, August she is probably worried about you" Elysia said
"She knows I'm staying with dad though" August said
"But it's not fair to your mom, you may not like John and that's ok, but you really need to see your mom, she hasn't seen you in like weeks, August" El said
"Fine, I'll visit, on one condition" August said
"August I'm not going with you, you must do this alone" El said
"Fine, I'll go before the event" August said

"Man, I can't believe I'm receiving this award tonight, this might be the biggest achievement of my life, Victor" Lucas said tying his tie
"Yeah, it might be, we all know you aren't receiving anything else, anytime soon" Victor said laughing
"Yeah, very funny Victor, man can't you just think about it, my wife and kids all there to see me receive an award, I can't believe I'll make them this proud" Lucas said smiling
"Yeah, I'm sure Hazel and the kids will be proud of you Luke" Victor said smiling
"Hey I'm gonna head to the cafeteria before it begins" Lucas said
"He's headed to the cafeteria, but you all need to get in now, he'll be back soon, and hurry up and afterwards leave, you go it" Victor said
"Who the hell are you raising your voice at, Victor, you raised your voice with Lucas' wife when you had her on her back" Johnny said
Victor looked away silently in shame
"You blow this we will let Lucas and everyone else know what you did" Johnny said madly
"Johnny leave it alone and come on, before he gets back" Max said hitting him
"You won't say anything, Victor, I know you won't" Johnny said eyeing him down
"Ok"
Knock knock
"Hello- oh hey August, how are you, man"
John said
"I'm well, I'm looking for my mom where is she" August asked
"She's in the kitchen, she's making dinner, come in August " He said opening the door
"Hey, mom" August said
"AUGUST!!" Charlotte ran over to August and hugged him
"August please I know you don't like John, but I really miss you son" She said kissing August's cheeks
"I know you were staying with your dad the entire time, so I do know you were safe" Charlotte said
"Yeah, I want to apologize mom, someone very close to me said I should come back to see you, I want to try to get along as a family, John included" He said
"Oh, August that's great news, and no one will ever replace your father, that isn't what I'm doing, you understand that right" She said
"Yeah, mom I understand, however I do have to leave in about an hour, I'm walking my Elysia again" He said
"Where are you two going at night" Charlotte said
"Well, there's this event dad was invited to and he's taking us, it was her idea, unfortunately I have to wear a suit" August said
"Oh, that's wonderful August, I hope you two have a great night" Charlotte said

"I went back and told her I want to try and be a family including John" August said
"Well that's great news, August, I'm proud of you" Elysia said kissing August's cheek
The two arrived to the event
"Wow this place is crowded" August said
"Yeah, hey there's your dad" Elysia said
"Hi, Mr. Woo" El said
"Hey, sweetheart, hey August" Nicholas said
"Meet my partner for this case, Agent Darian Jones" Nicholas said
"Nice to meet you sir" August said shaking his hand
"Hello, Agent Jones" Elysia said waving
"We are investigating our main suspects now" Nicholas said
"You two go find something to do" Nicholas said
"Hey August this place is kind of boring" Elysia said
"What, you the one who insisted we come here" August said
"I know but I thought it would be funner" She said
"It's just a bunch of men standing around waiting on a stupid speech" Elysia said
"Hazel you gotta go, he's about to give his speech" Victor said
"We can't keep doing this" He said
"Why, you don't like me anymore, I hate Lucas, I want to be with you, Victor" She said kissing him
"Hazel- Hazel- HAZEL get the fuck off, go attend to your children, I can't marry you, this is what you do behind your husband's back, I can't imagine what'd you do behind mine" Victor said
"How could you say that about me, I'm a great mother and a great wife" She said slapping Victor
"What kind of great wife fucks her husband's best friend behind his back" Victor said
"What is the real reason you don't want to continue this Victor, you're not telling the whole truth" Hazel said
"That is the truth" He said
"You all of a sudden feel bad fucking me" She asked
"You're a liar, and I will find out what is going on" She said walking out
"Ma'am are you Hazel Robinson" Agent Jones said
"Yes I am" She said
"Who was that in the room" He asked
"Who are you" She said
"I'm with the Heroes Association, I specialize in white collar crimes" He said
"Crime, I'm not committing a crime" She said
"A moral one, you are" Nicholas said
"You have no right to do this at my husband's award ceremony" She said
"Yeah, I think your husband would be more interested in knowing that his wife is cheating on him with his best friend" Nicholas said
"Now, the man in that room is Victor Wells isn't it" Agent Jones asked
"Yes, yes he is now let me go" She said
"Victor, you know why we are here" Nicholas said
"Don't try to argue against this, just tell everything" he said
"I want a lawyer" Victor said
"Where are the other two" Agent Jones said
"I don't know who you are talking about" Victor said walking out
"We need to let, Lucas know" Nicholas said
"I agree" Agent Jones said
"You still want to leave, El" August asked
"Nah I'll stay, maybe something interesting will happen" Elysia said
"Yeah, probably" August said walking over to the snacks
"What kind of snacks are these" Elysia said
"Fancy people stuff, it looks so weird" August said laughing at it
"Literally, why can't they just be normal and get Doritos or something" Elysia said playing with the food
"Yeah you're right, El, hey by the way you look nice tonight" August said
"Are you saying I don't look nice all the other times" Elysia said
"El, shut up you know what I meant" August said pouring juice
"I'm going to the bathroom after seeing you pour that juice, I feel like I had too much" she said running away
"This place has such weird doors and stuff" Elysia said playing with it
"Is all this necessary" Elysia said to herself after washing her hands
She wondered around looking at all of the fancy things in the building
"So big, everyone always tryna look cooler than they really are" She said walking around
"This place is l-
"DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND BASIC COMMANDS BOY"
"Hey, shut up Johnny, are you trying to get us fucking discovered" Max said slapping him
"What the heck" Elysia said quietly
"Listen boy, you stand as close as you can to the stage where Lucas will give his speech" Johnny said demonstrating
"And when he gets close enough you take your gun out and kill him" Max said
"Just robbing him isn't enough for you guys I see" The guy said
"Keep your voice down" Max said
Clixp Clixp
Max cocked the gun and handed it to the guy
"Use this, don't fuck this up, boy" Max said
"Yes sir, I won't mess this up" He said
"Oh my goodness" Elysia said putting her hands over her mouth
She looked around to figure out where she was
"I have this under control, men, you don't gotta worry about me" he said heading out
"Oh no" Elysia ran to another room and hid
"I don't trust him, he's gonna mess this up" Johnny said
"See that's your problem you always think something is going to be messed up" Max said
"He has it, plus if he doesn't I already have a sniper pinned up in the back corner of the room" Max said laughing
"Yeah, that's the type of preparedness I like to hear" Johnny said smiling
"I have to find August and Nicholas, and agent Jones" Elysia said pacing in the huge room she ran into
"This is crazy I've literally never heard anything like this" Elysia said putting her hands over her mouth
"Yeah man and I'm gonna do it tonight jus-
"Ahhh"
"Hey I'll call you back" the guy said
"Oh no" Elysia said in her mind
"I'm sorry I was just leaving, I got lost and I was need to am trying to find the uhh bath uhh rest bathroom" She said stumbling over words
"The way you're acting, it's like you're giving the speech" The guy said
"I'll show you to the bathroom" he said grabbing her
Elysia's heart started beating fast and she was afraid
"Here, there ya go, try not to get lost in there" He said laughing
"Thank you" She said
She looked out and as soon as she didn't see him she ran
"Uuuufff ow"
"They are gonna kill him, they're gonna kill the man giving the speech, August you have to listen to me,he grabbed me and it is the guy who is gonna do it, but then the other men gave him the command, August they're gonna kill him, I was so scared I thought they were gonna kill me" Elysia said frantically
"Woah, woah El, what the hell are you saying, slow down come on let's go to somewhere not so crowded" August said sitting her down
"Get your dad" She said
