Stephan handed the adressess of the locations he summarised earlier to Matt and Lanny. "And remember, if anything goes wrong, I'm not going to be responsible for it". He said crossed his hands against his chest.

"But what do we have to do. Just randomely go there and start digging? Is it even legal?". Matt asked folding the paper. "Since when did we start performing legal activities?". Stephan scoffed and went away.

"One day, his greed will lead to his downfall". Matt spat before exiting the building and Lanny followed him with their teams.

At Lanny's Location

Lanny was getting frustrated standing all day in the scorching heat that made his throat parched. But they ran out of water bottles. "How much longer will it take?". He asked wiping his sweat.

"Sir few more minutes". The workers replied as they were digging a large whole. Lanny nodded and stretched his hands to avoid having back pains. Suddenly two patrol cars pulled infront of them. Three officers climbed out and looked around. "What are you guys doing?". One of them asked.

The team looked up at Lanny and the officers followed their gaze. "So you're the leader here. Do you know this is illegal?". He asked crossing his hands. Lanny raised his hand and signaled them to come to him. The officers made their way to Lanny and he showed them his card.

"Lanny Hudson 27, Member of Menecions gang..", They stopped reading and stared at Lanny. "You can leave now and let me do my work". Lanny said taking back the card from their hands and put it back in his pocket. The officers looked at each other and then left the scene immediately.

"It was my dad's. He gave me this for a reason". I told her and she turned to look at me, waiting for me to tell her the reason. "He said that whenever you feel like giving up, see this car. It will tell you to never stop. Life is a race, and the only way to live is to go with it". I could tell that she really liked it because she flashed me with another of her beautiful smile.

She noticed the paintings on my wall. It was a set of one painting. Like different paintings joining to make one. It wasn't there before, I put them up today before I showed my apartment to Melanie. I wanted to impress her by my choice of paintings as she liked paintings.
