One day, San was eating in the cafeteria. Suddenly, a senior came and asked San to move. At first, San refused, justifying that she came here first. But the senior didn't care. He grabbed her by the arm and threw her down from her place. Paul, who was hogging down others' food, saw this and went to intervene. But the senior jabbed him right in his face. Paul fell. San started to cry.
"Stop crying little girl and get outta here." said the bully.
Suddenly, like a flash, Adam rushed in and pinned the senior to the ground.
"Don't mess with my friends bitch," said Adam. He took a look at Paul who was covering his face with pain and jabbed the senior in the nose.
"Now, if I see you here again, let's just say that the nose isn't going to be the only thing broken." The senior got up and walked away in shame. Adam went over to San and helped her get up.
"It's fine. I don't need your help," said San furiously.
"Oh come on. Please forgive me. Paul and the others told me everything. I realize my folly. I was on my way to tell sorry and that's when this happened." said Adam calmly.
"No. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have separated you guys. I just didn't like the way Daisy was commanding you. So friends again?"
"You bet,"
"Where's Paul?" asked Adam.
"I'm here. One sec" answered Paul.
"What happened? You broke your tooth?"
"Nah. That @#$!%@$^&$ broke my nose,"
"Come on now. We have a case to solve," said Adam and they got back together. They first started by listing their findings. Adam's findings were a breakthrough. According to him, the person is someone who broke up. It hurts him to see others in a relationship when he isn't. So San collected the names of all those who broke up recently. But everyone was a couple. Except for Nathan, who is just like Adam in relationships.
"How did you figure this out?" asked an astonished San.
"I read his texts," replied Adam.
San was particularly interested in the photos. They look like they were taken by someone who was experienced. So she gathered the names of all the photographers in the class. There were 10 of them. But all of them were at the Hall when the message was sent. The trail went cold. That night, San received a message from an unknown number, It contained a series of numbers and an encrypted message. San immediately sent the photos to Adam. Adam deciphered the numbers which revealed: BlackJack. The encrypted message was an abstract picture. It was confusing to make anything out of it. But for Adam, it was a piece of cake. When he decoded the message, it read-
"Hello, San. Heard you and Adam were trying to find me. Well, this ought to be fun. But beware. Cause you don't know what I'll do next. Keep an eye out for my messages." Moments after reading the message, Adam received a message. I said- "Hello, Adam. Heard you and San were trying to find me. Well, this ought to be fun. You know what, let me make it interesting. You got one week to find me. Otherwise, what I have will reach the school management. And you know what's gonna happen after that. Tick Tock. Your time starts now."
