Chapter 11 - Friend or foe

As Mr. Dominic and his team of security personnel swept through the school corridors, their eyes trained for any sign of suspicious activity, a flicker of recognition crossed Mr. Dominic's features as he caught sight of Jonathan among the crowd of students.

Instantly, a surge of adrenaline coursed through Mr. Dominic's veins as he realized the significance of the encounter. Jonathan, one of the suspects linked to the bot theft investigation, stood before him, unwittingly caught in the crosshairs of suspicion.

Without hesitation, Mr. Dominic signaled to his guards, his commands swift and decisive as they swung into action. In a coordinated maneuver, the security personnel moved with precision, converging on Jonathan and swiftly apprehending him before he could react.

The suddenness of the arrest sent shockwaves rippling through the school, drawing the attention of students and faculty alike as they watched in stunned silence.

"Damn, I am screwed"Jonathan whispered to himself as Jonathan's expression registered a mix of confusion and alarm as he found himself surrounded by security guards, his mind reeling with the implications of his sudden detention.

As Mr. Dominic approached, his expression stern yet composed, Jonathan's pulse quickened with uncertainty. He knew that this moment marked a turning point for him.

"Well, well, well, look who we have here"Mr Dominic said to himself as he let out an evil smile.

With a steely gaze, Mr. Dominic addressed Jonathan, his voice firm and authoritative as he prepared to interrogate the young suspect. For Jonathan, the reality of the situation began to sink in as he braced himself for the intense scrutiny that awaited him.

Jonathan found himself thrust into the heart of the investigation, his fate hanging in the balance as the truth behind the bot theft remained shrouded in mystery.

As Mr. Dominic confronted Jonathan, his tone firm and authoritative, Jonathan's pulse quickened with a mix of apprehension and determination. 

The weight of Mr. Dominic's accusation hung heavy in the air, as he asserted his knowledge of their prior encounter and pressed for information about Jonathan's friend, Ethan.

"I know you," Mr. Dominic declared, his voice laced with conviction. "We've met before. Where is your friend?"Mr Dominic said calmly.

Jonathan's mind raced as he grappled with the implications of Mr. Dominic's words. He knew that admitting to his association with Ethan could potentially incriminate them both, yet the loyalty he felt towards his friend outweighed any fear of the consequences.

With a steely resolve, Jonathan met Mr. Dominic's gaze head on, his voice unwavering as he steadfastly refused to betray Ethan. "I can't help you," he replied, his words measured yet resolute." Am not a thief, you've got to believe me sir"Jonathan roars as all the other students begin to murmur.

Mr. Dominic's expression hardened at Jonathan's defiance, his frustration grew as he realized that extracting information from the young suspect would be no easy task. 

"Do you have it on you?"Mr Dominic asked Jonathan.

"Have what?" Jonathan asked back looking confused.

"The internal bot, do you have it on you?"Mr Dominic asked again.

"What no, I don't...please don't kill me"Jonathan said as his voice was shaking.

"Then who has it, is it your friend?Tell me where he is now,"Mr Dominic said.

"Please sir, I am begging you, I am innocent ", Jonathan said as tears were about to drop from his face.

"I saw you the day the bot went missing, you and your friend, so tell me where he is"Mr Dominic asked again but this time with anger.

Yet, beneath the surface, Jonathan sensed a hint of begrudging respect in Mr. Dominic's demeanor, a recognition of the unwavering loyalty that bound him to his friend.

As the interrogation continued and tensions mounted, Jonathan remained steadfast in his refusal to cooperate, his loyalty to Ethan unwavering even in the face of mounting pressure.

For Jonathan, the decision to protect his friend at all costs was a testament to the strength of their bond, a bond that would endure even in the darkest of times.

"Well since you don't want to rat your friend out, then we have no choice but to do it the hard way,"Mr Dominic said to Jonathan who was breathing heavily.

"No, no please sir, I am begging you, please..." Jonathan was screaming, but all his pleas fell on deaf ears.

As Jonathan was escorted into the waiting van by Mr. Dominic and his security team, a sense of foreboding settled over him. 

The metal door of the van's interior seemed to amplify the gravity of the situation, as Jonathan found himself seated among the security, his mind reeling with uncertainty about what lay ahead.

Outside the van, the bustling schoolyard faded into the distance as the vehicle pulled away, its tires crunching against the pavement with a sense of finality. 

Jonathan's heart pounded in his chest as he watched the familiar surroundings blur past, his thoughts consumed by the implications of his detention and the fate that awaited him.

In the front of the van, Mr. Dominic's voice cut through the tense silence, his tone tinged with a steely resolve as he addressed his captive. "We'll be back," he declared, his words carrying a weight of promise and determination. "And when we return, we'll find the second person behind the theft of the Internal Bot."Mr Dominic said with determination.

Jonathan swallowed hard, the weight of Mr. Dominic's words settled heavily upon him. He knew that the search for answers was far from over, and that he and Ethan would continue to be pursued until the truth behind the bot theft was uncovered.

As the van disappeared around a corner, Jonathan was left to contemplate the uncertain road that lay ahead. For him, the journey had only just begun, and the challenges that awaited him would test the limits of his resilience and determination.

But amidst the uncertainty and apprehension, one thing remained clear, Jonathan's loyalty to Ethan would endure, unwavering and steadfast, as they faced whatever trials lay ahead, united in their quest for truth and justice.
