Chapter 81Nicholas rushed to the repair shop on campus but his desperation became more palpable when he was asked to sign a form that'll consent them to look through the files and recover what they can. Nicholas didn't sign the form.He couldn't.Not with confidential business files on that laptop."Actually," Nicholas said, "is there another option? Like an off-campus repair shop?"The student worker looked at him like he was crazy. "I mean, yeah, but we're free. Off-campus places charge like five hundred bucks minimum."Nicholas didn't care about the cost.He cared about privacy."Do you know any good ones?"The student worker shrugged. "There's TechRescue on Main Street. They're supposed to be pretty good."Nicholas grabbed his laptop. "Thanks."He was out the door before the student worker could respond.TechRescue was a fifteen-minute walk from campus.Nicholas made it in ten.The shop was small, sandwiched between a pizza place and a laundromat.A bell chimed as Nicholas pushe

Chapter 82
Chapter 82..Nicholas was halfway through his Financial Accounting midterm when his phone started vibrating.He ignored it.Professor Morris had made it clear, no phones during exams.The phone vibrated again.And again.Nicholas kept his eyes on the exam paper, working through a depreciation calculation.Straight line method versus declining balance.The phone wouldn’t stop.Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.Professor Morris looked up from his desk.“Someone needs to silence their phone.”Nicholas reached into his pocket and pressed the side button to stop the vibration.He went back to his exam.Five seconds later, it started again.Nicholas glanced at the screen under his desk.Rebecca, 4 missed calls.His chest tightened.Rebecca never called during class.She knew his schedule.Something was wrong.Nicholas raised his hand.Professor Morris looked annoyed.“Yes?”“I need to step out. Family emergency.”Morris’s expression didn’t change.“If you leave, you can’t come back. You’ll receive whatever

Chapter 83
Chapter 83Nicholas stood in the middle of the grocery store, staring at his phone.Google search: how to make pasta from scratchThe results were overwhelming.Twelve steps.Six ingredients he’d never heard of.Something called “00 flour.”Nicholas scrolled down.Google search: easy pasta recipes for beginnersBetter.Simple marinara sauce: crushed tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, basil.He could do that.Nicholas grabbed a shopping cart and started walking through the aisles.Pasta aisle first.He grabbed a box of spaghetti.Then another box, just in case.Tomato sauce aisle.Crushed tomatoes. He grabbed two cans.Garlic.Nicholas found the produce section and stared at the garlic.Fresh garlic or the jar of pre-minced garlic?The jar seemed easier.He grabbed it.Olive oil.Basil.Nicholas found dried basil in the spice aisle.Good enough.He walked to the checkout, feeling accomplished.This was going to work.He was going to cook a real dinner for Rebecca.No takeout.No expensive re

Chapter 84
Chapter 84Nicholas stared at the email from Professor Martinez.Subject: Business Ethics - Group Project AssignmentsGroup 7:Nicholas KJake MorrisonSarah DavisTyler BrooksAmanda MartinezProject: Analyze a recent corporate ethics scandal and present solutions using stakeholder theory framework. Presentation due March 15th. Worth 30% of final grade.Nicholas closed his laptop.Group projects.He hated group projects.They always meant doing most of the work himself while other people coasted on his effort.But 30% of his grade.He couldn't afford to mess this up.Nicholas opened the group chat Professor Martinez had created.Nicholas: Hey everyone. We should meet this week to divide up the work and choose our case study.He waited.No response.An hour later, still nothing.Nicholas tried again.Nicholas: I'm free Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Does that work for anyone?Finally, a response.Sarah: Thursday works for meAmanda: sameJake: Cant make it thursdays. got workTyler:

Chapter 85
Nicholas woke up at 6:00 AM to his alarm.The meeting with Victor Reeves was at 9:00 AM.He stared at the ceiling for five minutes.Then he turned off the alarm and made a decision.He wasn't going.Not today.Nicholas grabbed his phone and texted Agnes.Nicholas: Cancel the meeting with Reeves. Reschedule for next week.Agnes responded immediately.Agnes: What? Nicholas, this is urgent. He has proof…Nicholas: I know. But I need a day. One day where I'm not dealing with businesses or investigators or school projects. Reschedule it.Agnes: Are you sure about this?Nicholas: Yes. Tell him I'm unavailable. Family emergency or something.Agnes: Okay. I'll handle it.Nicholas set his phone on airplane mode.He got dressed in old jeans and a plain t-shirt.Nothing expensive.Nothing that screamed money.Just regular clothes.He grabbed his basketball from the closet.It was dusty.He hadn't touched it in months.Nicholas wiped it off with his sleeve and left the dorm.David was still aslee

Chapter 86
Chapter 86The coffee shop was the kind of place that hummed quietly with the sound of grinding beans and low conversation. Nicholas and Agnes arrived eight minutes early and took the corner table, the one with a clear line of sight to the entrance, and said very little to each other while they waited.Agnes set her bag down and ordered water while Nicholas ordered nothing.His eyes remained glued to the door.Victor Reeves walked in at exactly the agreed time. He was not what Nicholas had built up in his head over the weekend. There was no trench coat, no shifty eyes scanning the room. He was a trim man in his mid fifties, wearing a grey button up and carrying a slim folder under his arm. He spotted them without difficulty and crossed the floor with the unhurried ease of a man who had done this kind of thing many times before.He pulled out the chair across from Nicholas and sat down."Mr. K," he said, by way of greeting.Nicholas did not flinch. He held the man's gaze and gave a

Chapter 87
Chapter 87The room was small enough that Nicholas could hear David breathing.Not literally, but close enough. David had his headset on and was buried in whatever game had consumed him since dinner, his commentary a steady low murmur directed at whoever was on the other end of his mic.The glow of his monitor cut across the room in a pale blue strip. He was not paying attention to Nicholas. He rarely was when the game was running.Nicholas pulled his chair close to his desk, angled his screen away from David's side of the room and opened his laptop.He typed Victor Reeves's name into the search bar.What came back was not much at first. A LinkedIn profile that had not been updated in three years. A brief mention in a local business journal from 2019 listing him among a panel of independent security consultants. A firm name, Reeves Consulting, with a website that was sparse and deliberately vague about the specifics of what was offered.Nicholas leaned back and looked at the ceiling

Chapter 88
Chapter 88The clue came quietly, the way most important things did.Nicholas had been reviewing the paperwork Agnes sent over, the consulting fee agreement typed up cleanly and without a single word out of place, when his phone buzzed with a message from Reeves confirming the new meeting time. The message itself was unremarkable. It was the line at the end that snagged him.Looking forward to resolving this before your Harmon account review.Nicholas read it twice.Then he set the phone face down on the desk and sat very still.The Harmon account was not public. It was not registered under anything that connected to him openly. It had moved through two intermediary layers before landing anywhere near his name, and even then the name it landed near was not Nicholas. The only people who had ever been in the same room as that information were people he had brought into it himself.Reeves had not found that in a public filing.Someone had handed it to him.Nicholas picked up the phone a

Chapter 89
Chapter 89Reeves was already there.Same table as before, or close enough to it. Same grey button up. The folder was in front of him but closed this time, which Nicholas noted as he crossed the floor with Agnes at his side. A man who opened with his folder was establishing dominance. A man who left it closed was waiting to see what the other side brought first.Nicholas pulled out the chair and sat down.Agnes sat beside him and placed a single document on the table, face down.Reeves looked at it but did not reach for it."You came back with something," he said."We did," Nicholas said.A server came by. Agnes ordered coffee. Reeves already had one. Nicholas ordered nothing, same as last time.When the server left Nicholas nodded at Agnes and she turned the document over and slid it across the table toward Reeves with two fingers.Reeves picked it up. He read it the way a careful man read things, from the top, unhurried, not allowing his expression to move ahead of his eyes. Nichola

Chapter 90
Chapter 90The lecture hall emptied the way it always did after Beckham's Thursday class, in a slow outward current of students gathering bags and exchanging words and filtering through the double doors at the back. Nicholas was part of that current for exactly thirty seconds before Beckham's voice reached him from the front of the room."Nicholas. A moment."He let the current carry everyone else out and turned back.Beckham was at his desk, not sitting behind it but standing to the side of it, one hand resting on the surface. He was not holding any papers. He was not pretending to be doing something else. He was simply waiting, which told Nicholas before a single word had passed between them that this was not a casual pull aside.The doors at the back settled shut.Beckham looked at him for a moment."Close?" he said, nodding toward the doors.Nicholas went back and let them close completely, checking the corridor through the narrow glass panel before he turned around. Empty. He wa
