CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE: Discovered

Derik drove into a large conference room beside the police department. He took out his phone to confirm it was the address that William had texted him. Glancing at the building, he was sure this was it. He got out of his car, then walked past the security guards standing outside into the hall.

There, he met a large crowd. Marvelled at how big the whole place was. Frank, head of the forensic laboratory, was there. The entire police force in the city was present. And so was Scott. They were all seated in an orderly arrangement. Looking up at the podium, he saw William addressing the crowd. And next to him was TCU’s president, Sir Lawrence Linus.

Beside Lawrence sat a muscular, dark-skin soldier wearing dark glasses. He had a flagitious look as he stared towards the crowd from his dark shades. He had a M16A1 gun strapped to his left shoulder, and was chewing a gun.
