 ♛A N D R E I♛  

     I decide to call my brother after I receiving that mysterious box from an unknown sender. I looked at the time on my phone, it was 2:30 am. I was waiting for Isabella to fall asleep before calling my brother. Leaving the room two times in one night, especially after receiving the package would've been strange. To avoid drawing attention to myself and making myself appear suspicious, it was best to make the call after she went to sleep. 

     My eyes landed on Isabella across the room. From the sound of her quiet snoring, it sounded like she was in deep sleep. I whip out my alternative phone from the top drawer next to my bed. After a few rings, my brother finally picks up. Even though it was 2:30 am, my brother would always pick up my call, knowing that it would always be important information. 

     "What is it?" I heard my brother say. His voice was groggy, it sounded like my call woke him up. 

     "We can confirm that there is a third party involved," I began. "Earlier tonight, I received a package. There was no sender information and also no postage stamp. We need to find out who delivered it."

     "I'll get someone to hack into the security footage around the dorms and campus area. Maybe we can get a clear look at their face," Felix suggested. "I'll get back to you when I find out who it is, in the meantime be extra cautious around campus." 

     "Okay, I will." I look over at Isabella who was still sound asleep and gently snoring. "There was a note in the package, I'll give it to you this weekend." 

     Our family's business is around a three-hour drive away from campus. It would be more convenient to make the trip on a weekend because of classes. Even though I wasn't a typical student with the purpose of attending university for an education. I still had to convincingly play the part which means that I had to attend classes, take tests and exams, like every other student. Living campus in the middle of the week would seem a bit out of the ordinary especially during the first week of classes. 

     "Okay, I'll be around on Saturday. Drop it off then, I'll have someone get some fingerprint tests done on it." We had some inside people in the force, they will be able to run the tests and match it with the prints in their database. A powerful family like us is guaranteed to have connections in every area, including the those at the top of the police force. Some call it corruption, I call it power. We were feared by everyone. If you snitch to the police on us, we were already one step ahead of you. Nothing gets past us.
