Chapter 7 - Chapter 7 : the prince of the memories

Sully couldn't believe his luck. He had managed to acquire a set of extremely valuable memories from the rocky memory traders. The memories were so powerful that they could potentially make him the most powerful person in the city.

He couldn't wait to sell them, but he knew he had to be careful. The memory traders were not to be trifled with, and he couldn't risk getting caught. He decided to go to a different city to sell them, where he wouldn't be recognized.

Sully arrived at the new city and quickly found a buyer. The buyer was willing to pay an exorbitant amount of money for the memories, and Sully couldn't believe his luck. He was going to be rich.

As he left the buyer's place, he was met with a group of memory traders. They had followed him and had seen him sell the memories. They demanded that he hand over the money, but Sully refused. He knew he had to fight for it.

Using his newly acquired power, Sully was able to overpower the memory traders. He took the money and left them beaten and bruised. He knew that they would come after him, but he didn't care. He had what he wanted, and he was going to protect his family.

Sully returned home with the money and told his family that they would never have to worry about anything ever again. He had secured their future, and he was relieved that he could finally relax.

However, as he looked at the money, he couldn't help but feel guilty. He had done some terrible things to get it, and he knew that he would have to live with the consequences. He just hoped that he had made the right decision.

Sully's heart raced as he heard his phone ringing. He hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should answer it, but ultimately picked it up.

"Hello?" he said, trying to keep his voice steady.

"Hey, Sully, it's me," said the police officer. "I got a lead on some memory traders who just bought a ton of valuable memories. I don't know who sold them, but I thought you might be interested in checking it out."

Sully's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the memories he had stolen were among those being traded? He quickly composed himself and asked, "When and where?"

"In an hour, at the old warehouse on 5th Street. You coming?"

Sully hesitated for a moment. He knew it was risky, but the potential payoff was too great to pass up. "I'll be there," he said finally.

As soon as he hung up, Sully's wife embraced him tightly. "I always believed in you," she said, her eyes shining with pride.

Sully smiled, but his mind was elsewhere. He couldn't help but think about the possibilities that lay ahead. With the money from the memory trade, he could provide for his family in ways he had never thought possible. But he also knew that the risks were high. If he got caught, it would mean the end of everything he held dear.

Nevertheless, Sully knew that he had come too far to turn back now. He hugged his wife tightly and whispered, "I love you." Then he turned and headed out the door, ready to face whatever lay ahead.

Sully walked into the police station, feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement. He had to keep his cool and not let any suspicion arise. The police officer, who had called him, greeted him with a smile.

"Hey Sully, good to see you. I have some work for you. There have been some big memory trades happening in the city, and we've been trying to track down who's behind it. We finally caught a break when we found out who's been buying all these valuable memories. But we still have no idea who's been selling them."

Sully tried to keep his face neutral, hiding any sign of guilt. "What do you need me to do?"

"I need you to go undercover and meet with the buyers. Try to gather as much information as possible. We need to put a stop to this before it gets out of hand."

Sully nodded, trying to appear eager and willing. "Okay, I can do that. When do we start?"

The police officer handed him a file. "Here are all the details. The buyers are meeting at a private location tomorrow evening. I'll give you the address. You'll be posing as a memory trader looking to make a big sale. Can you handle that?"

Sully nodded again. "Absolutely."

The police officer gave him a pat on the back. "Good luck, Sully. And be careful. We don't know who we're dealing with here."

Sully left the police station, feeling both excited and terrified. He had never done anything like this before. But the potential payout was too great to pass up. He had to do it for his family.

As he walked back to his car, he couldn't help but wonder who was behind the memory trades. And more importantly, would he be able to stay one step ahead of them?

Sully let out a sigh of relief. He was glad that the police officer didn't suspect him of being the memory trader. "Do you know who sold them?" Sully asked.

"No, we're still trying to track down the source," the police officer replied. "But we did manage to recover some of the memories."

Sully felt a twinge of guilt. He knew he had contributed to the illegal memory trade, but he couldn't resist the temptation of the high price he could get for the valuable memories.

"Is there any way I can help with the investigation?" Sully asked, hoping to clear his conscience.

The police officer looked at him skeptically. "Why do you want to help?"

Sully paused for a moment, trying to come up with a believable excuse. "I just want to do my part in keeping the city safe. And maybe, if I can help, I can make up for my past mistakes."

But as he got closer to the meeting place, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. He knew he was taking a risk, and he couldn't afford to get caught. He took a deep breath and reminded himself that he had to be careful and not let his guard down.

When he arrived at the meeting place, he was met by two shady-looking men. They exchanged pleasantries before getting down to business. Sully was surprised at how much money they were willing to pay for the memories. He couldn't believe his luck.

As they were finalizing the deal, Sully's phone rang. It was the police officer. Sully's heart skipped a beat as he answered the call.

"Sully, we found out who the memory trader is. It's a guy named Jack. We're on our way to arrest him, but we need you to stall the buyers until we get there."

Sully's mind raced. He knew he had to keep the buyers occupied until the police arrived, but he also knew he couldn't let them catch on that something was wrong. He took a deep breath and tried to remain calm.

"Is everything okay?" one of the buyers asked, noticing the worried expression on Sully's face.

Sully forced a smile. "Yeah, everything's fine. Just got a call from my wife. She's worried about our kids."

The buyers nodded sympathetically, and Sully breathed a sigh of relief. He managed to stall them long enough for the police to arrive and make the arrest.

As the police took Jack into custody, Sully couldn't help but feel relieved. He had helped the police catch a criminal, and he had managed to keep the money he earned from the memory trade.

But he also knew that he couldn't keep risking his family's safety for money.
