My dad has been a politician for as long as I can remember and it’s always been mom, dad, and I. I was never one for the spotlight but I always enjoyed it when mom would pick me up after dad presented his speech and we’d chant his famous slogan, “The only way, is the wRIGHT way”. That is until Alderman election year. Dad had just announced his campaign when they diagnosed mom. Cancer. Dad became too busy waving at the people and smiling for the camera to notice her whittle away. All I could remember was how every night she’d tuck me in, grab my hand and say, “God’s strongest warrior, my sweet Jaser, sleep well my love”. Then she’d squeeze my hand twice and kiss my forehead. That was before she got too weak and I became the one squeezing twice. I was 9 when she passed and the cameras haven’t flashed the same since. Dad became more invested in his work which led him to his governor seat four years back. He always reminds me of how he saved the city. About two years into his term the place flooded. I saw it coming with sea level rises and dad did too. Governor saved the day with his proposal of “Fantasy Island”, our new life on water. Instead of streets, we have the tide, which is a wave we ride to get from place to place. Luckily we have our JetMobiles which help us navigate through the city. He also rebuilt the institutions to be waterproof meaning that if sea levels were to rise again our homes would only go up with it. The people loved the idea, the state approved, and “Fantasy Island” was set to finish in July 2050, this year, just in time for the next governor election. It is now election season and guess who’ll be announcing their run in hopes for a re-election, John Wright, all eyes on the Wrights once again. “Time to get up JJ, big day for the fam” his dad shouted while snatching the covers off. “I know I know” Jaser answers, sluggishly rolling out of bed. He musters up the energy to get ready because today was announcement day. After getting ready he is greeted downstairs with a big breakfast spread and lulu, his cat. “Long time coming so- omg put a napkin around your neck will ya. Can’t have any stains on that shirt for the cameras you know that. We’ve got to be perfect!” Jaser lets out an annoyed exhale and grabs his napkin. After breakfast, they are greeted outside their home by a JetCar between two police jet skis, ready to escort them to the rally. Cameras everywhere. The place was crowded with roaring supporters. “Good Evening good people of Miami.” Governor Wright began to give his address. While his dad began his address Jaser was shown to his seat backstage. Unsure how much longer he’d have to endure his fathers address, he just logged onto Coders Cove for the time being. As the address is closing he is escorted back on stage for the famous chant. “And my son, here to do the honors” Gov. Wright says. “Hello everyone” Jaser says excitedly, “You all know why we’re here so help me support my father by finishing this line for me” As the crowd silenced, Jaser shouts, “YOU ALL KNOW THE ONLY WAY…” “IS THE WRIGHT WAY” the crowd chants. “THE WHAT WAY” Jaser replies. “THE WRIGHT WAY” the crowd roars even louder. “Thank you everyone and enjoy the rest of your day, I’ve got school” Everyone laughs as the Wrights are escorted off stage to rush Jasir to school. Heading to Wynwood Preparatory Academy, Jaser quickly changes into uniform on the ride there and grabs his bag from the trunk as they arrive. “Great day at school J. Love you bud. And always do your best” No time for a long response, Jaser gives his dad a thumbs up and rushes toward the building where he is immediately met with news crews and cameras. “Jaser, do you think your father will be successful in yet another term?” “Jaser, how does it feel to be in election season?” “Jaser, is this a difficult time for you since the anniversary of your mothers passing is during the election season??” Always reminded by dad to smile and repeat “no comment”, that is exactly what he did the maneuver through the paparazzi and dodge questions, “Woah bro the news outlets are crazy, Wassup J” Milo laughs because he knows Jaser hates the camera. Owen following up “What’s the word Jaz, looks like the wind got your hair” “Haha very funny, wassup boys let’s get to 1st period” Almost late they all head to the first period like any other day, Earth Science with Mrs.Roberts. “Today, we’re gonna talk about climate change…Something we should all be familiar with, right class?” Everyone nods and thumbs up, “So why are we familiar, anyone?” “Owen enlighten us” Surprised, Owen answers, “ummm..were familiar because..umm oh yeah, my rich friend, J, his dad got us all sweet JetCars..oh but the place had to flood first” The class laughed, “you’re close Owen but not quite, anyone else?” “We're familiar with climate change because sea level rises caused a flood in Miami in 2046, just 4 years ago. This forced a lot of its residents to relocate to their natice country. Luckily we were fortunate to rebuild what is now “Fantasy Island''. Laila states. Just as she was about to continue the bell rings. “That’s time class.see you all tomorrow”, Mrs.Roberts projects. All the students pour into the hallways for their 8 minute passing period. “Bro lai is so smart” Jaser fawns. “Laiiiiiiiii is sooo smarttttt, why don’t you kiss her thirsty”, Milo mocks. “Yeah give her a big ole smooch”, Owen follows and then squeezes jaser cheeks as if he was going in for a kiss. “Oh would you guys qui-”, just as Jaser responds, morning announcements intercept the conversation. “Good Morning my follow Wynwood roaring Tigers” the host says. “Today on the menu, we have yet another chicken tender and fries day or nachos…what a wide variety if i do say so myself. Also let's clap it up for Mr.Johnson, whose wife will be having a baby, our favorite science teacher is gonna be a dad! And last but certainly not least, let's hear it for our peer Jaser and his father, our beloved governor who just announced his running in hopes for re-election in 2050!” Jaser is stunned to hear his name as the students clap and roar. “Well that’ll be all for today's morning news, i'm your host Jayla Jackson, everyone's favori-” Just as the announcements were about to end the screen just went black. All of a sudden a message is shown. “FANTASY ISLAND MUST DIE VOL. 1” The students gasp. “What’s going on?” one says. “ I see our beloved Governor has decided to run for re-election. WELL HE IS NO GOVERNOR OF MINE. HE IS A LIAR AND A FAKE. HE MAY HAVE BUILT FANTASY ISLAND BUT HE DESTROYED THIS CITY. I AM HEAR TO GIVE YOU THE TRUTH AND RESTORE OUR BEAUTIFUL CITY AND TAKE BACK WHAT WAS RIGHTFULLY STOLEN FROM MANY RESIDENTS. Stay tuned for the next drop, it won’t be so broad, happy re-election Mr. Wrong” The unknown announcer goes quiet and tv goes back to Jayla’s broadcast. Everyone, including the teachers, are in a frenzy. With three minutes left in the passing period, teachers still insist that students find their classes quickly and assure them that whoever was behind the broadcast were probably seniors pulling a silly prank. Jaser mutes, trying to escape the crowd and find his class, hoping that was a silly prank but also curious, he slips away to the back hall bathroom to call his dad. He answers. “Dad there was this weird broadca-”, His dad dismissively interrupts, “Yeah J, my office saw it too. It was broadcast all over the city on every news channel, they didn’t announce any school broadcasting except yours. Anyway, im sure its nothing son, just focus on your studies and i’ll see you when you get home” “Alright dad. See you” Jaser says relieved. He heads to physics, and runs into Milo headed in the same direction. “Dude, what the hell was that all about? Weird, ``Milo says. “Yeah bro hella weird, it talked to my dad and when i was telling him about it he said it was being broadcast across the whole city” “Bro what?! That’s crazy, so what now?” “He said it's probably nothing, and the team will handle it, so I think it's good. But idk bro seemed pretty legit but I’ll hit you after, this my class right here” Jaser goes into class, trying to stay calm so he won’t alarm the other students and confirm that maybe what was being said was true. However, he can’t help but wonder, was it? Meanwhile, the campaign office is a mess. Not only was the message broadcast across the city, but the news stations are now headlining it. “Bobby, what the hell are we gonna do? This little fucking publicity stunt might ruin my whole damn campaign. And to show it at my son’s school. Man, who the hell is this guy?” Gov.Wright says angrily to his campaign manager “Let’s just calm down John. We can swing this, your public record doesn’t have a blemish. Perfect mayor, perfect kid, perfect family God Rest Robyn’s soul. What could this person even have on you “Fucking stayed tuned for the next drop. What does that even mean?” Gov. Wright takes a breather. “Listen B, we’ve got to get ahead of this next drop bullshit. I don’t need any drops in the poll. We cannot lose this re-election and risk everything we’re working for. Let alone let William Harris win.” “You have nothing to worry about, I’ll handle this, and as a matter of fact I have Viv out there getting our good friend Mark, the chief of police to investigate this mysterious person. Don’t worry (Gov first name) I got you baby” Bobby says with a smirk. They do their handshake and hug, “my boy” Gov. Wright says smiling. Class is now over, and fortunately Milo, Owen, and Jaser are all in the advanced computer science program, meaning their classes are split into two classes per day, they get out at noon, and they report to the library to work on their big project for the program. These guys are so smart though, they’ve finished most of the project so they just hang out the majority of the time. The bell rings and the boys meet at Milo’s locker because it's closest to the library. “You bro everything good” Owen says having not seen Jaser or Milo since first period. “Yeah dad said it’s handled so it's handled. Besides I don’t need anyone thinking were phased by this stupid broadcast” Jaser replies. The boys settle in the library and open Coders Cove since today is one of their hangout days. Still, Jaser is wondering why anyone would try to sabotage his dad and if what they’re saying is really true. Just as they get into their game session he gets a text NEW ALERT MESSAGE FROM DAD “The office is investigating whatever this is. Come home as soon as CSP is over today. Be safe kid” “Aye yall” Jaser says. “Wassup” “Yo” Owen and Milo respond, still focused on the game. “I know I said it was handled but I've been thinking all day and I'm a little curious. Why would someone broadcast it through the whole city but only in our school?” “Only our school? That's very weird now that you mention it. You think it's a direct message or something” Milo says as he turns from his computer. “That’s what I'm trying to figure out.” Jaser responds. Owen, caught up in curiosity as well, leaves his game and hacks the school’s internet. “Dude its literally easy as hell to hack our school, look I just did it. For a private school our internet security sucks. Well it doesn’t suck but you know i'm just that good.” Owen gloats. “Bro if you wanna know who this person is why don’t we just investigate ourselves. We all know the police are a bunch of morons who couldn’t catch a criminal even if they walked inside the station and turned themselves in. Besides, you think they’re gonna actually care about what could’ve been a “silly senior prank” Owen says as he proceeds to go back to his game. Jasir, enlightened by the idea, he agrees with Owen and the three hatch a plan. “Alright then boys, we got ourselves a mission, but we can’t tell anyone, I don’t need anybody thinking im trying to cover up something for my dad or something” “Wait bro there’s more” Owen says. “Look”. He turns from his scream and shows them the blog site he just found called “FantasyIslandFantasyFakes” “Could this be the same person?” Jaser comes closer to get a better look. “Bro look, people are commenting” Milo says. “Yes, finally someone else who hates that stupid governor” Jaser reads aloud from the site. “Omg, people actually hate us?” He says. “Dude, no way, we have to stop this, these haters won’t ruin your dad’s campaign he did a lot for this city I can’t believe this”. Owen says. The boys quickly get on their own computers and start searching for anything related to the broadcast earlier. The news outlets are calling them the “Masked Man”. 3 hours passed, and they’ve managed to print up every article about it, figure out how to hack the school and news outlets, but the site itself’s security is too tight for Owen at the moment. “Yeah, whoever put this site together is really good, and yall know I'm really good. I'll need more time to work on this. It seems that when someone tries to infiltrate their security gate, a virus is placed onto that person's computer. So, we need to come up with a virus to attack theirs in order to override they’re gate. Yall got that?” Owen explains. “Yeah, we can all make a code and see who’s works, and don’t worry we should have some old laptops in my house to try them on.” Jaser replies. “Alright, so who’s gonna keep the folder?” Owen says. “Well, I lowkey think you should hold onto it J. I know that if found in your house it’ll look very bad but if our parents get a hold of it it’ll look like we may be behind this mess. And that's even worse for us.” “You know what, to be not so bright, you actually came up with a good idea”. Owen says jokingly. “Oh shoot. It's time for me to go, dad wants me home right after school. Yall right i'll keep the folder. And yep that's the driver calling now. Aye i'll hit yall boys later”. Jaser grabs the folder and tries to leave the school as quickly as he can. He already told JB, their JetCar driver, to pick him up from the back hallway entrance because the news reporters will be crowded at the main entrance. As he is running for the door, he's also trying to text JB to tell him he is coming. That's when he is met with a shoulder that sends him down to the ground and the papers from the folder flying everywhere. “Omg Jaser are you okay?” Not even looking up, he responds “fine” and tries to swiftly gather his papers before they try and help. However, they manage to pick up a sheet. “Fantasy Island Must Die...find out who is behind it” Recognizing the voice but still startled, he says “hey give that ba- Laila?” Just as he was about to panic, he realizes it's Laila who grabbed the paper and is now overcome with a weird feeling in his stomach. He stands as he has managed to gather the rest of the papers. “Hey, Jaser whatcha working on?” she says curiously. “Umm nothing, May I have those back?” “Omg was what they said about your dad true? Are you behind this” “What of course not. i'm actually trying to figure that out” jasir says with instant regret. “Ooooo an investigation. Can I help?” “Umm I don’t really need help but thanks anyway” Just as he tries to take the paper Laila swings her arm back and says, “You know I could go tell those news reporters that you're going out the back along with my evidence here that YOU'RE the umm.. Masked man” Laila says. Unwilling to take that risk Jasir says, “fine you can join. Look ill text you on picgram later for your number, I really have to go, may I please have that back?” Excitedly, Laila returns the paper and Jaser rushes out the door. JB drives the JetCar through the boathouse entrance so Jaser won’t have to endure the media again. Already feeling like it was a close call, Jaser makes sure to put his folder in his book bag before going in the house. Trying to get to his room and avoid any frustration from his dad. That didn’t work. “Heyyy slow down son” his dad said before he could get to the stairs. “Wassup dad” “How ironic. You want to know what’s up? Really??” His dad said annoyed. “Umm it’s just a greeting. Sorry it wasn’t formal enough for you” “Omg here you go with your smart remarks. Man, go to your room. You should know how long of a day I’ve had.” “Umm alright” Jaser says carelessly. Honestly, I’m confused why dad was so weird just now but I’m glad I can just get to my room and put this folder away. But where will I put it?? Jaser had a pretty big room, so hiding something seems like it would be easy. However, living with a dad who has to have the reputation of the president, trust anything left out will be thoroughly investigated and that would ruin their whole plan. “Aw yeah Ik where I’ll put it” jaser whispers to himself. As a tech student, he learned how to innovate items using technology. Jaser designed a safe under his bed that can only be opened by placing his fingertips on the backside of his headboard, causing the secret drawer to open from underneath his bed. Filled with relief that the folder is finally safely tucked away, he stills his to create a virus to breach the security gate. He also has to tell the boys about Laila knowing who he was, oh and her joining the team. Jaser video calls Milo and Owen. “You did it?” Owen whispers. “Yeah it’s done but have something to tell y’all. Don’t tweak” Jaser says. “Say it” Milo rushes him. “Long story short Laila gotta join the team” “Bro what?!” They both are stunned. “Naw make a long story long we gotta know” Milo says. “Basically I was rushing to the car and bumped into her. The papers fell everywhere. And she helped me get away from the reporters in exchange for joining the investigation. Bro I had no choice” Jaser says. “Bro you had a choice. Get your shit and go. It’s just because you like her bro that’s wild” Milo says scolding Jaser. “Bro chill. You know if he wants to have his little girlfriend on the team so be it she just better be useful” Owen says trying to diffuse the situation. “Besides, have y’all even started tryna to create the viruses yet. That’s what we need to focus on. And before the next drop too, which is probably coming soon” Owen continues. “Ight Ima hit yall boys later we gotta create these viruses” Jaser says and hangs up the phone. Oh shit, I still gotta text Laila. What do I even say? Can I have your number? Yo send me your number? Hit my line and then send my number? But wait she knew my name. But everybody knows my name. Bro just texted her. “Yo Laila, send me your number” *Laila is typing* “Hey J, so excited to solve the case, 876-433-2540. Well that was easy. After Jaser got Laila’s number he texted her about his suspicions. And then he told her that they had to create a virus and that if she couldn’t do it then that’s fine. He told her when they meet but Laila has a regular class schedule. *texting* Laila- I can’t meet at 12…so how can I help Jaser- Damn umm can we FaceTime? Laila- Well do you have to leave at the end of the school day? because I can come after Jaser- No, I think today was the worst day but any other day I should be good. Laila- Alright bet *txt end* Well that was smooth. Jaser spends the whole night trying to put together a code sequence. It’s the next day, and things have kind of slowed down. Jaser skips breakfast to get to school early to meet with Owen and Milo. “Wassup guys, did y’all finish” Jaser says. Yawning,”Yeah it took me all night but I figured out something I think might work” Owen says. “Same,” Milo added. Today the guys don’t have class together so they part ways and meet back like they always do, in the library. The bell rang for their second period, and the students empty the classroom. Today, morning announcements went how they regularly do. Everything went how it would normally until all the students got an alert. “JUST IN…FANTASY ISLAND MUST DIE has TEA. Poor little Jaser, caught in the crossfire between his fathers loud mouth and the truth I will reveal. How about you ask mommy how defeat tastes, she knows it all too well. Stay tuned for VOL. 2, coming to a tv near you. “ The halls are so silent one can hear a pin drop. All eyes are on Jaser, who quickly realized that his mothers death was the bud of a joke. Angered, Jaser storms to the back hall bathroom, where he knows no one will be. Owen and Milo were too shocked to even chase after him, knowing he’d need to cool down. Veering from down the hall Laila knows exactly where he is headed and slips away after him. What the hell bro. They brought my mom into this. What do they think cancer is some type of sick fucking joke. I’m going to kill them. Trying to sabotage my family trying to get a reaction out of me. But wait, my mother’s cause of death isn’t even public record. Only people who know are my family and Milo and O. The school had the record too. Could it be a student?? Whatever I have to find them we have to hack that site tonight. Jaser tries to get a hold of his breath just as Laila sneaks in. “What the hell are you doing in here, this is a mens facility clearly” Jaser says firmly. “I understand how you’re feeling just relax okay I told Milo and O I’d help and here I am helping. If it makes you feel any better I was able to code a virus idk if it’s the best thought” Laila replies. “How the hell do you understand how I’m feeling you don’t understand having your life plastered for the world to see. That was something personal and this guy mocks my mom's death. What the fuck. No you don’t know” “I lost my family too…” “So who do you go home to everyday? Huh isn’t that your family? And besides everybody loves you anyway “Yeah, that is my family but I’ve lost people close to me that I may never see again. You’re not the only one with shit. Yeah everyone loves me but I don’t care about these people” Jaser realizing that he may have been too harsh, smarts to calm down. Laila relating her family to his made him realize that, yet again, the Masked Man was only trying to get a reaction out of him because of his sensitivity for his mom. “We’ll get them,” Laila says, approaching Jaser for a hug. “Not we fucking better” Jaser replies. Laila comes in closer to embrace Jaser with a hug. When they release their eyes meet and they pause for a moment. Awkwardly, jaser pulls away and says, “Well I guess I’ll be good now, make sure to meet us in the library afterschool, okay? I’ll leave now and you leave in 5 so no one will see us” “Umm okay then” Jaser makes sure to double check before walking out of the bathroom. He exits nonetheless and heads to the library as planned. Laila waits the five minutes and then leaves as well heading to class as usual. “We’re so sorry bro, we shoul-“ “It’s all good, let’s work on this project and then figure out whether these viruses will work, I bought 3 old computers from the house” Jaser says, interrupting Owen. Owen gets to work. Milo’s virus code first. Easy kill. It’s really strong but very basic and was a simple attack that absolutely murdered the first computer. “Well Milo, I see this program and coders cove literally taught you nothing”, Owen laughs, “mine next” “This isn’t funny O we have to get them before the next drop. If it’s worse than this one it could destroy my family” “You’re right” Owen gets back to work. Owen uses his own code. Very sophisticated code and is efficient enough to sneak past the gate. “Holy shit I got in. Were in” The boys high-five and Jaser sighs of relief. “Umm wait..look O” Milo points to the laptop. The computer screen went black and a worm crawled to the center of the screen and dug a hole in the apple that appeared as well. The code was very advanced yet still no match for the site's security wall. “Oh my God bro” Jaser says frustrated. “Wait, we still have mines and Laila’s left,” he continued. “Here try Laila’s” he hands him her hard-drive. Owen takes the hard drive and plugs it in. Seems like amateur work but then instantly her code breaks through the wall. They’ve seen this before so they wait for a second to see if it is really in. Nothing. No worm, No apple. No blank screen. They're in. “No way your girlfriend's code was better than mine what the heck” Owen says. Jaser and Milo take a sigh of relief sit back in their seats “Thank God” Milo says. “So what now O?” “What now…umm. So we are essentially inside of their security database. Now I have to comb it for the IP address which will give me a location to the address that the blog is being composed from and that should lead to who is behind this crazy mess” Owen explains. How the heck did she do it? I never took her for the type to be in computer stuff. That's really cool actually. Mid day dream Milo says, “Umm did you get a text from your dad about this alert we all got to our phones?” Jasir thinking, “No actually, that’s weird…why didn’t he text or call he should be just as upset as I am..Unless” “The alerts only came to our phones” the boys realized in sync. Owen says curiously, “Wait if Vol.1 went to every media outlet but just our school and this weird alert we got came to just our school this time this can only mean one thing…” “Bro” Milo thinking aloud. “IT'S A STUDENT” They all say in sync sitting up in their seats. The three are mind blown. “Who the hell would want to sabotage you and your father Jaser. You don’t do anything” Owen says. “It makes sense now, I hate attention and everyone knows this but somehow I wind up in the middle of all this commotion” “Hey O, when do you think you can get that location” Jaser says. “Umm should be able to have it by tonight, YES… just in time to stop drop two…whenever it drops” The boys don’t even realize how much time has passed yet again. Milo has football practice afterschool and Owen wants to get home to use his equipment to get to work on figuring out the location. As Milo gathers his things, “You know the drill. I gotta get to the field but we made so much progress my boy. Aye don’t let that shit with your mom get to you people can be cruel and we know how you get about her. We’re gonna crack this bro. We gone hit you later” Owen followed up behind “Yeah bro we got you” and they left the library. It’s now after school and Jaser made plans to meet with Laila in the library. More excited than ever now because he didn’t expect her code to crack the security wall. Laila enters. “Hey Ja” she places her book bag on the table and throws herself in the seat, “So what was all that about your mom?” “To make a long story short, my mom died of cancer when I was 9. I didn’t do well with it and me and my dad have always had a rocky relationship since. And since then I've hated the cameras, hated the attention, and whenever my mom is brung up, I don’t know how to react” Jaser explains. “I understand. I miss my family dearly. They are gone for good but they may as well be, as I might never get to see some of them because they had to move” Laila responds. “Aw man I didn’t know but enough of that sad stuff” he chuckles, “How’d you create that code, you do know it was your virus that got through the wall, not only was the wall defeated but i think O’s dignity went with it” They laugh. “Omg I had no idea I mean obviously. And to think you thought I’d be of no use” she says. They talk more about the code and she even shows him how she created it. “Library closes in 10!” the librarian shouts. “Damn, It’s already 5” Jaser says. “Yeah that time went by quickly huh” Laila said, packing up her bag. “Well hey the night doesn’t have to be over, ask your dad if you can come to my house tonight. It's Taco Tuesday but on a wednesday'' she giggles, “Think you can make it?” “I’ll ask, I can’t promise you anything. I do have to get going though” Jaser says. “Well my address is 7534 Clover Hills Lane, put that in your notes and text me if you can make it, my mom makes a mean quac” Laila persists. They both get up and leave the library, Laila calls a JetUber and Jaser meets JB outback as always. Jaser bursts through the door and rushes to his room to get ready. Yelling, he says “Hey dad, can I go to a friend’s house for tacos with their fam?” His dad peeks in his room, “Damn son, who are you getting fresh for, is this friend a young lady?” Jaser explains that Laila invited him over and he had his eye on her. His dad allows him to go and just to be fancy he lets him drive his brand new JetCar. Just as Jaser is pulling off, “Hey son. Don’t be too late, we've got a very important rally tomorrow.” Jaser texts Lai on the ride there and parks his JetBoat down the tide so he has to walk a little ways to her house. It's a big glass mansion with a gate and keypad. She buzzes him in and greets him at the door. Laila introduces Jaser as her friend and they go to the kitchen to get dinner started. Jaser receives a text from Owen but he silenced his phone so he could enjoy his time. Taco Wednesday was very much fun. They had everything from tacos to nachos to quesadillas and more. They sat, they ate, they laughed and they questioned Jaser a whole lot, being that he is the governor's son. They even made him do the chant. After dinner Jaser follows Laila upstairs to her room. “Dang, your room is nice and omg no way you have Coders Cove on your laptop” Jaser says surprised. “What type of girl do you take me for Ja? Why wouldn’t I? I see someone hasn’t been paying attention” she says. Thinking aloud he slips up and says, “oh trust me I pay too much attention if anything”. Laila blushes, “What does that?” Nervously Jaser says, “Well I’ve been seeing you around and I’ve kind of been feeling you, I just didn’t take you for a girl to have similar interests with a guy like me” “I’ve always noticed you, you hang with Milo and you know all the girls pay attention to the football players. Well you’re not and not that I pay attention to Milo.. Umm in butchering this” I can't believe she's nervous. More nervous than me. Wow. “What i'm trying to say is I like you and I’ve been trying to get your attention” Laila finally blurts out. “You…like me?” Jaser was stunned at the idea. “I never even knew you knew me. Like everyone knows who I am because of my dad you know but I and that's just and im so and well i-” Before he could finish Laila leaned in for a kiss. Their lips meet and eyes close for what seems like forever. She snatches away fast, “Well umm I’m thirsty, you thirsty, and I umm also have to use the bathroom be back soon”. She quickly leaves the room. In complete disbelief Jaser just sits back and puts a hand to his lips not even really processing what just happened. Then he quickly remembers Owen’s text. The mission. He pulls out his phone to what could be the most shocking news. NEW MESSAGE O DOG *Yo bro seems like after that security is the easiest coding i’ve ever seen. Well not the easiest but what can I say, I’m that good. LOL I was able to get the IP address and track some location to 7534 Clover Hills Lane. I don’t know where that's at but we can check it out tomorrow. WE DID IT. love brodie” What?? 75..34..Laila’s House?? No, this can’t be she is helping us she is helping me she said she could relate and this is why we need to catch whoever was behind it. Once again in utter shock Laila comes back with two cans of BubbleFizz. “Hope I haven't gone too long, want one?” Laila says plopping on her bed and holding out the cans to him. Trying to keep from exploding he says, “nah im good, I actually have to use the bathroom” “Alright more for me, just out the door and the hall to the left He replies a dry “thanks”. He immediately goes to the bathroom to call Owen. He asks if it was a mistake. Is he sure it's that address? Owen confirms and Jaser tells him he is there right now and he soons puts together that it’s Laila’s place. Jaser thinks there is only one way to be sure and he has to get into her laptop. However, he can’t do it but Owen convinces him that if he can get her to give him the password then it’ll be a hackers cake walk. Jaser returns trying to act as natural as possible. “Hey Lai, how about some Coders Cove?” he asks “Nah, I’m not really in the mood you can play though” “I don’t really like to play on my phone. Can I use your computer?” “Yeah sure. The code is MICHAELBJORDANSwife3628” Well that was easy. I really pray he screwed up the address somehow. He texts Owen the code and proceeds to just play the game normally. After some combing, O replies with screenshots of the next Volume for “FANTASY ISLAND MUST DIE. He reads. “Hey readers. I told you I’d be back. FANTASY ISLAND VOL.2. And I told you it would be more shocking than ever. Your beloved mayor. Well he can go to hell. Yes, climate change caused sea level rises which flooded Miami, but did you know your beloved mayorrr owns some of those factories that contributed to the melting of ice that contributed to the sea levels rises. What if I even went as far as to say that this was his plan all along. Flooding Miami and washing away the “poor” to build his precious FANTASY ISLAND. All those families were left homeless but they were homeless before they even migrated back to their native country because that damn mayor BOUGHT THEIR HOMES ALREADY. That's right he planned this and he is planning to invest more into companies that will pollute the earth to rid Florida of these hated “poor people” but what do I know, The Only Way is the WRIGHT Way? Right. So long losers but if you decide you have a mind of your own you know where to find me.” What?? Is this true. No wait, how dare she try and tarnish my fathers reputation. He mumbles, “you used me…” “What?” she leans up on her bed” “You used me to get to my dad didn’t you?” he gets louder. “What are you talking about?” She questions further. “Oh don’t give me that.” he stands. “You set this all up perfectly. You're him. The Masked Man is you.” he gets louder. He raises his phone to show the receipts Owen sent him and now she cannot deny. “It wasn't supposed to be like this…I just want my family back. Your father is a bad man” “Don’t you dare talk about my father and to talk about my mother, what type of friend are you? wWhat kind of person are you? Im taking this to his team, they will know its you” Angrily headed for the door she quickly grabs his arm and pleads, “NO, wait, please you have to believe me I HAVE PROOF. You don’t understand the flood forced my family to leave. I'm no rich girl, these are just my foster parents. I'm on scholarship here. I can’t even afford to attend Wynwood Prep. Please I have to fight for my family. I have proof please.” She races to grab her computer and proceed to play audio messages of his father’s plans to continue to build over the state once the next rise comes in. Also, how he pays the company for how much pollution they produce. That’s my dad's voice. What the heck. What even is this right now? I can’t believe she would use me. I can’t believe my dad would hurt all those innocent people. I can’t let her ruin our name. I can’t believe he would do something like this. Still fuming he says, “Let me go” and storms out of her house. The whole ride was silent. He acted as if he had a great time when he got home. I talked with his dad for a buit and headed straight for his room. He told no one of what happened. The next day comes. They get ready to go for his fathers big rally. Bobby insisted on a rally in order to get ahead of drop two and also reinstill trust between the people and the governor in order for his campaign unfazed by what he calls the “fake news”. When they arrive the rally is packed as usual. Cameras everywhere. All eyes on the Wrights it's make or break time. His father takes the stage. “GOOD AFTERNOON MY FELLOW SUPPORTERS AND VOTERS. IT’S YOUR GOVERNOR JOHN WRIGHT AND MY SON JASER WRIGHT. MY WARRIOR OF GOD AS MY WIFE WOULD SAY. WE ARE HERE TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH WE LOVE YOU AL-” The mic shuts off. The reporters are all life when the announcement comes. “Hey readers. I told you I’d be back. FANTASY ISLAND VOL.2.” The end.
