The Tale of a Thousand Lies Volume 2

Chapter 2

"it all started when we had a lead about one case where my mentor, eric Santiago, goes undercover. Then at night, it was midnight and the streets were abandoned. That's when a trade took place and we then go undercover for the scoop. We go our separate ways, me with the goods and eric with the men in charge. There were about 5 cars in total where one of them was a pick up truck carrying some weapons. He just slipped into the darkness and towards the other corner of the street maybe since the representatives making the deal was with the car that came the opposite way. While I slipped into the goods and captured some good data. but one of the men almost saw me so I ran as fast as I could and I finally end up at the backyard of this hotel where I saw you guys. Then I thought, how about I ask them for help with this if things get a little messy. But as it turns out, it did since I couldn't get a hold of my mentor."

They heardmarias story while being treated at a café of her choosing.

"this story is highly unbelievable. Though how do you suppose to go look for him anyway?" Stacey

"I don't know." Maria

"how about we cover ground by searching the entire area." Yukiko

"that's it! We could do that." Maria

"ugh.. and should we agree to this rod? " flores

"its another mess that we have bumped into." Sheryl

"hmm.. what do we get out of all this?" rod

"I haven't thought about that." Maria

The girls then made a face palm.

"i-I would pay you."maria

"that's not enough." Sheryl said with a grumpy face

"hmm.. the mentor has been a great teacher to me and I owe a lot to him. And he is also the reason why I got into journalism."

"so your saying your new at this?" flores

"basically, yes. I just graduated this year."

"how old are you then?" Sheryl

"25 years old. What of it?"

"a 25 year old blond hair girl which just graduated from college and is asking for trouble. That sums it all up." Rod said as he face palms

"oh come on. Don't you guys care and help the innocent? That's what the rumors say about you."

"if it doesn't involve us with the dark side yes." flores

"what of these contacts then? What are they? And do you also have contacts from your mentor?" rod

"im already with him on many assignments for about 6 months so I might have some of his contacts."

"who and what are they?" Stacey

"I mostly have contact numbers of my female co-workers and co-reporters. And I also have the contact with the chief of police, some politicians, businessmen. Maybe that sums it up."

"alright then. Only just to find your mentor, we will have those contacts and your pay for the next 5 more months. Deal?" rod

"what?!" all of them were surprised

"rod, were still discussing the details here." Flores

"I know that this would end up with us trampling into the darkness once more but depending on her answer, we might do it." Rod

"if you say so." Flores

"if you deem it worth while, then im in." yukiko

"I hope that your sure about this. I really don't want to go." Sheryl
