"BENNY....."
"What's up, Alex?"
"Check it,"
he said throwing a newspaper at me. Which had made a headline about who could be the mysterious identity of the DIAMOND.
"Didn't we let them know, not to interfere with this?" I asked Alex.
"Yes, but some idiot reporter is investigating it,"
"OH!!!"
"And he thinks there is no such person. And he wants to reveal it to the media to get five-minute fame,"
"Hmm..."
"But do you want to do something about it?" he asked after realizing I was quiet for some time.
"What?"
"I mean do you want me to do something about it?" asked Alex again.
"Let's see what he can do. After all, if we try to act restlessly he might be more alert,"
"oh ok... you got a point there,"
"I will have to tell Little Bud about this," I said walking into the balcony to call her.
After a few minutes, I called Sarah.
"Hi,"
"Hi, hmm... "
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just Meg called and..."
"Did she tell me about the article?"
"Kind of, yes,"
"Love, don't worry about it ok?"
"Hmm..."
"I checked the new designs you sent and asked Anthony to elaborate on them,"
"Oh, that's good. When will I get to see them?" she asked excitedly.
"I think Anthony promised to get them ready by next week,"
"Well, I think it's time I start on my dream project,"
"Hmm, first we'll get these issues sorted. Then we can start on this project,"
"Yes, I know,"
We talked for a few more minutes and went back to Alex, who was still going through gossip news.
"Ben, I think we need to do something,"
"Why?"
"The gossip sites are catching up and the news is getting spread like wildfire,"
"Really let me see,"
He was right, many sites have started picking up on the story. Ping, I heard my phone at the same time as Alex.
"You guys carry on with the work I will be with her - Ms.TomBoy,"
We laughed at her concern about her friend. And I was happy she had such an understanding of us.
While we were thinking of the best way to deal with the crises, whatever we thought was not going to help as much to begin with. Whoever was doing this is doing this with a purpose in mind.
"What would that reporter want?" asked Alex suddenly.
"To prove the world there is no such person,"
We looked around to see uncle Holland standing behind us.
"My goodness, you are quiet than a mouse, uncle," said Alex.
"I have to be if I want to find secrets. If not how can I serve in this media world," he said sitting down with a smile on his face.
"So that means you have some idea how to deal with this?" I asked.
"Well, I did have some but,"
"What," asked Alex.
"The best thing is to reveal your secret," He said looking at me.
"But.." I said,
"I know, you have a reason, Ben. But it's high time you take some action,"
"Uncle, I was just trying to protect her,"
"We have found some leads, but things are twisted in many ways," said Alex.
"What do you mean?" asked uncle Holland.
"Well, an act of revenge and an old jealousy to be taken care of kind of plot," said Alex.
"HUH!!!"
"Well it's something coming from our grandfather's time plus a love rival of Ben is seeking revenge,"
"Interesting,"
"But the damage had been done already," said Alex looking at Ben, who was focusing on something on the floor.
"You mean that Smith issue from your uni days?" asked uncle Holland.
"hmm, she was the one who had asked Liam to kill Sarah as revenge," said Alex.
"Why Liam?"
"His fiancee, it seems,"
"Hmm,"
"So this has a lot of knots to untie, my boy"
"Well, we have started already. But to accuse Jane Smith for plotting, we need proof and Liam's gang is behind Dave's death too," said Alex.
"Hmm,"
"We have reached out to him, through a trusted source, waiting for positive feedback," I said.
"Well we have to figure out his relationship with Dave, from what we saw they seem to be close," said Alex.
"And if he comes, I guess he knows you guys have found his true identity, even if he had done aplastic surgery," said uncle Holland after thinking for a while.
"We hope he gets that," I said. "No one can hide forever, after doing wrong," I said with anger in my mind.
