[93] That's exactly why I'm coming
Jace rushed back into the dorm room, stripped off his gym clothes and swapped them for something cleaner: a pair of dark jeans, a plain shirt, and his jacket. [SYSTEM UPDATE][ Subject: Amos Kellar – Former Security Officer.] [ Age: 42. Resigned the night before Incident-01 ][Last known address: 14 Burnett Close, off Mayflower Drive.][ Affiliations: Unclear. ]"Well, that's not enough information, I swear, but the address is more than enough," Jace muttered. He couldn't shake off the feeling that Amos was more than just a security officer, and the time of his resignation was altogether suspicious.He zipped up his jacket and grabbed his keys. Max had been teaching him how to drive and had let him do so a few times. Today, he intends to test it out on his own, alone."I don't have a damm license," he chuckled,"Hope I don't get in trouble with cops."As he walked out of the dorm room and approached the car parked in its usual spot, a familiar voice called his attention.“Yo, where

Jace closed the door behind him, his heart heavy with what had transpired inside the VC’s office. He closed his eyes gently and exhaled in frustration."I'm sorry," Jane's voice caught his attention, startling him for a second. He turned to the left and saw her standing there, sadness etched on her face, it seemed she had been listening the whole time."You heard?" Jace asked and she nodded."It's not going to be good for us now, I guess... uhm, I have to quit my selfish interest now and you know?""Use your dad's influence?" Jace completes her words,"That's what you wanted to say wasn't it?"In response, Jane smiled, folding her arms and leaning her shoulders against the wall."Forget that. I've asked Bob to help me dig up oh that ID, it's certainly going to be one of those staff. If he's in school here then he might have answers, if not then we are back to square one "Jace sighed heavily,"I need a moment," he muttered, "I feel like my head is spinning right now, and ..."Jace,"
[91] I can't just do nothing
The vice chancellor’s office had always carried an air of authority, and a suffocating sense of power. The large wooden desk stood like a barrier, polished to perfection, stacked with neat files and documents that spoke of order and control. Behind it sat the Vice Chancellor himself, grey-haired, stern-faced, and visibly troubled.Jace stood opposite him, hands resting stiffly at his sides. He had been summoned after breakfast, and though he tried not to overthink it, the faint unease in his chest had grown heavier with every step toward this room, knowing that this might be about the recent attacks.The VC leaned back slowly in his chair, his eyes narrowing at Jace as though studying him for the hundredth time.“Sit down,” he said, voice low, deliberate.Jace obeyed, lowering himself into the leather seat before the desk. The VC folded his hands together and sighed. “Jace… you’ve done well so far. More than I expected from any student.”Jace stayed quiet, sensing the weight of a “bu
[90] Not worth my anger
The cafeteria buzzed with the usual morning chaos and clattering of trays. Voices rose over one another and the sharp smell of fried eggs, bread, and too much coffee filled the air. Jace sat alone near the far end, where the sunlight from the wide windows reflected lazily across the long table. His plate was simple: a slice of bread, a boiled egg, and a cup of lukewarm tea. He didn’t need anything fancy; food was food, and right now, his mind was occupied with much heavier matters.But no matter how he tried to ignore it, he could feel dozens of eyes on him.Everywhere he looked, students glanced in his direction with that same expression, hatred, anger or disdain. Some whispered behind half-covered palms, some stared boldly as though daring him to react, and others simply shook their heads as if his very presence was some kind of plight. It wasn’t new to him, he had grown used to stares ever since he became acting president.Still, Jace ate slowly, unbothered. He had already learne
[89] So you are Jace, huh?
"That's until tomorrow," Jane muttered, "I don't think any of them stay in school here, and it would he strange to go knocking at the staff's door at this hour." "That's not even what I'm worried about," Jace interjected, putting the ID in his pocket. [ 1 item retrieved ] [ ID ] "What then are you worried about?" She asked. "You see how the security at the entrance didn't let us enter? It's the same way the security at Adan’s death scene asked me to stay out of this investigation. The school is trying to keep it coded, so I don't even think a staff member would let us get involved." Jane raised an eyebrow, nodding her head in agreement, "But why would they try to hide this? Adan’s parents would have learnt about this and they'll make it public, they'd probably even sue the school." "Well," Jace chimed in, "We just need to work secretly and hope to achieve something meaningful. How about Bob, can you get him to help us?" "Well, yes," Jane nodded, "He's my dad's cousin's so
[88] Jane did it
Jane stood there, staring into his eyes like she had never seen them. For a split second, it felt like they might have a romantic moment until Jace broke the silence by asking, "Well, are you for me or against me?" With that, Jane took her hand off his wrist and straightened up briskly. "I was coming here for the same reason. I thought they'd let me in because I'm Tristan Coleman's daughter, but I guess you got here first and nd killed someone." "He's not dead, just unconscious," Jace interjected, "Why are you trying to investigate... does it really matter to you that much... "Jace," she cut him off, her tone firm but not harsh. "Just unlock the door." Without saying another word, Jace took a deep breath. He grabbed the key and unlocked the door leading into the camera room. "Why is this even locked anyway? Aren't there people inside?" As soon as he pushed open the door, the answer to his question stood right before him. Both Jane and himself had were perplexed, baffled by w
