"Get on the ground you are under arrest!" The officer yelled again.

"Listen, the last time I seen my father was that day also. We went for a walk in his backyard woods then I left." Jacob says in a calm tone.

A guy in a suit came out and smiled. "Do not worry, Prince. We are only taking you in for questioning for now."

Jacob sat in the cold room in front of the man in the suit. "Prince Jacob, it is an honor to meet you....but I never imagined it would be like this." He paused. "I'm not saying you killed your own father, but you are the last person seen with him. You called war on him the week before."

"Around 2075 the world began to change. Everything went in reverse and slavery came back. The only difference is that there's more white people as slaves now and many colored people owning slaves like me. This slavery is not based on race, but based on who is the wealthiest...We divided the poor and the rich. If you owned $700,000 you were not put into slavery." Jacob began.

"I understand that and all, but what does this have to do with the disappearance of your father." The man asked.

Jacob put his hand up. "Most of the time, with money comes evil. My father is an evil man, but oh no not worth being thrown in jail for. I did not kill my father."

The man chuckled. "Then who killed him, hm?"

Jacob shrugged. "I don't think he's dead..."

There was silence.

The man laughed. "Prince Jacob, are you telling me that your father disappeared to frame you."

"Of course, he killed my child and is framing me, so I will never have a child with Alexis." Jacob began to get angry.

"Alexis, hm? May I ask who she is."

"She's my servant..." He sighed.

"Any special relationship with this servant?" The man in the suit asked.

"No, none at all...." Jacob said with confidence.

"You have 12 hours released, we will be back for you to finish."

"So long..." Jacob smiled and left.

The man in the suit walked behind the secret wall where another man was in handling some equipment.

"What do we have?" The man in the suit asked.

"Well, he was telling the truth about not killing his father, but that doesn't prove he had nothing to do with his disappearance." The other man said.

"Damn..." the man in the suit put his hands on his hips. "I was sure he killed him....He must be a good liar."

"Well, there was one lie..." The other man said in a low tone.

"What?" The man in the suit asked in a confused tone.

"According to the machine. Alexis, his servant. There's a special relationship between the two. The machine went crazy when he said no."

"He must be deeply in love with her..." the man in the suit smirked.
