On his way back, Basil Jaak gave the money to Fernando, instructing him to keep a few hundred bucks for gas and give the rest to Jessica Flack, then Basil got off the car at the roundabout in the city center.
After walking forward for a couple of steps, Basil saw the massive building of the Ghost City District government and then took out his cell phone to call Alva.
"Tiarks, enjoying your time as the district director?" Basil asked, half-jokingly.
Alva and Basil were pretty close by now, so, shedding his official airs, Alva laughed and scolded, "All you know is to crack jokes. I'm buried in so much work every day that I can barely keep up, let alone feel comfortable! You should come by sometime and see for yourself."
Basil laughed, "No need to wait for a chance, I'm right below your district government building now."
"Are you kidding me?" asked Alva, skeptically.
Basil hummed, "I wouldn't dare tease you, the mighty district director!"
