Stolen Fate (Final Draft)

Chapter 3; The Present

A long sharp sword was hung on the head of the PCLA's office. His name was Tullius, he was 32 years old, and was a man who had owned the company for 13 years. He had sharp blue eyes and had thick, curly short hair. He was 6,1 and had a hard time being in charge. He has never had a break or vacation ever in his 13 years. He finally decided to get one so he decided to call some other companies that he trusted if there were any other trustworthy people they knew that could take his place for a few months. Call after call not a single answer but finally one did. It sent an email from one of the tech companies saying they know a guy. He has worked for them for 5 years and everything he does hasn't gone wrong. This happened the day after Tullius wanted a break. He has a hard time trusting others so calling trustworthy companies he has known for a long time might be the best option for him. The email said,

"Are you sure you want him? He may have a hard time communicating with the others but he works great and I let him take my place every time I cannot take care of the business." The email said. Tullius responded back,

"I need this break Ethan, you know this. I will gladly accept him, please when is the earliest time he can come?" He asked.

"He comes to work everyday at 4 A.M., he sure is a hard worker, I will see when he can and send you his resume." Ethan replied. Tullius then rested his eyes. He decided to email his workers, teammates, and all his groups about his vacations the next day. He then decided to wait for Ethan, the head of the tech company to email him. He sat down on his chair and turned on the television. The news came on,

"We are expecting great weather for Christmas, a nice chilly day by the valley's and with some lovely snow with a chance of a sunny snow day!" The news reporter said.

"This is perfect." Tullius said. He was going to get the best vacation of his life, nothing to worry of and no more identity thefts going around, or so he thought. Suddenly Ethan emailed him,

"Here is his resume, he said he has no problem and you can take the vacation as long as you want. I am a bit jealous though, he is one of our top workers. Anyway his email is *********.TechCom, I hope you have a great vacation, you really deserve it." It said with a file attached to it containing the resume.

"That is great, thank you." Tullius emailed. He then opened the file,

"Derik Waver " Tullius read the name out loud. His resume was very interesting but there were a few gaps on it, so he decided to talk to Derik about it before he leaves and meets him tomorrow. He noticed it was the same name of a guy that has gone missing but his last name was different as he remembered the one who has gone missing had a name by "Derik Varoan" He didn't think much of it as it wasn't his business and just left to go to a meeting to tell everyone, he only called the people that worked in the building as of his company was so popular that cops and other investigator companies know it. There were people that worked outside of the building like Adam, the reason for this is that the original building of the company is big but not big enough for all his workers. Tullius had over 1300 men and 900 women working for him. He made a call through the announcement microphone,

"Good evening ladies and gentleman, as you all know it is currently 1;30 P.M. and I would like you 4 people from each floor to come up and join me in the meeting room by 1;50 P.M., so please be prepared and wrap up a few things as you all decide who would like to join the meeting. Thank you." He said. The people around the building heard and decided who would meet with him. In the meantime in the building a few women heard the announcement and were talking,

"Really? Why would the head call through the microphone and not his secretary?" One said.

"I don't know but it seems important." The other said. It was true the head wouldn't usually call an announcement by himself but it must be that Tullius was very excited this time. A knock came from Tullius's office door.
