~Still Sunday~

Sarah, Liz and I, had spent 2 hours on shooting the Vague clothes. We spent another 2 hours shopping and just enjoying each others company. At some point, I slipped out and bought them the same book and quill necklace that I gave to my other girlfriends.
After giving them the necklace he left to make a huge dinner to welcome them to the family. When he got home he saw that no one is home. He checked his cupboards and fridge for ingredients and saw that Megan had restocked everything.
Sitting my laptop down on the counter. I say "Nat, can you do a search for any good Asian themed food with the recipes"
"Understood. . . Chicken Chow Mein, Perfect Pad Thai, candy chicken, Beef & Broccoli Buddha Bowls, Korean Fried Cauliflower" Said, Nat
"Sounds great, let's begin," I said while nodding
An hour passed of me cooking before I left everything to cook. I checked on the news to see the type of backlash that Prime is getting for framing his girlfriend's company. First of all, they did indeed have a guy to take the fall. Prime also apologised but it was very much just making it clear that it had nothing to do with them.
Liz was quickly greeted by the award of reporters at her company door. She gave her take on the situations whilst also saying that she still questions why the fall guy would do it. This, in turn, brought everything back to Prime being a corrupt company.
The Media only lightly covered the story and was very much biased towards Prime. I was not surprised as I've already done some in-depth research on the Stevens family owners of Prime not only are they apart of clothing business but they also have some influence within the Entertainment line.
They have a long of history that's filled with shady stories. Like there sudden outburst in money has no paper trail. Their acquisition of multiple companies is also baffling as those companies weren't facing any bankruptcy so there should be no need to sell out.
"Stevens family. Nat, I want you to keep an eye on them. Alert me if they do something suspicious" I said
"Understood, would you like to set a sound prompt" Said Nat
"Yeah, make it tweety bird voice saying his iconic pussy cat line," I said
"I taught taw a puddy cat, has been set as a sound prompt when the Stevens family make any suspicious movements," said Nat
I replied "Thanks"
'I feel like I'm forgetting something. . . . shit, I completely forgot about the overly well-prepared jewellery robbery. Something about that situation is wrong. Like why were they so heavily armed for such a simple job? They also didn't seem to be in a hurry to escape if anything they were waiting for something or someone. Also, why hasn't the police come out with the criminal's names. It just smells hella fishy' I thought
"Hey, Nat what happened to those criminals from the Jewellery robbery?" I asked while squinting
"Are you referring to the incident that involved you?" Asked Nat
"Yes," I said
"There is no data of the criminals being named or being imprisoned" Said Nat
"I fucking knew it, can you do facial recognition," I asked
"Understood. . . . . It appears that they do not exist" Said Nat
"Shit seeing as not even you can find them they must be from one of those backwards organizations that don't use any form of the modern day networking. Looks like I got myself involved with hidden organizations. Do a background check on the shop to see if they have any illegal transaction" I said
"Understood. . . . The jewellery shop "Solid Hearts" in Hollywood is a branch shop of Solid Hearts industry which was made it's the first appearance in the 1970s. Its name came from thier first diamond mine where they discovered a rare blood diamond that was told be in the shape of a heart. From thier, they created the multi-billionaire by selling the other diamonds. The Solid Heart diamond was never brought to the public eye. It is seen as a myth that has many people interested that includes criminals as they have a history of facing off with big crime syndicates"
"What exactly did they do deal with them," I asked
"They made thier own gangs that slowly gained control. After gaining control they made thier way into government positions. From thier, they solidified their stance completely stopping all the aggressive prying eyes" said Nat
"Hmm it doesn't seem like the blood diamond is a legit reason for hidden organizations to get involved. Hmmm. . . check on all the recent deliveries within the last month for any anomalies Nah forget that they wouldn't do something so careless. Instead, check on the shop itself" I asked
"The Solid Hearts Hollywood branch has abnormally high electricity this is due to all the servers," Said Nat
"Hey, Nat in the future you should lead with that. Right, so what are the servers for" I ask
"It manages the FBI's most confidential files. This includes undercover identities, moles and questionable deals with other criminals" Said Nat
"So it really is something bigger than a simple robbery. They were most likely using it to buy time for someone to hack into it or they were carrying something that could do it passively" I said while tapping the table
Scary thought of the people close to me getting hurt began to manifest within my head as my heat began to turn awfully dark.
Clenching my fist unconsciously, I spoke in anger "This piss stain of organizations better not fuck with my life or I'll fucking go on on hunting spree. . . I need to think logically don't panic. . . . . Alright, there's a high possibility that I'm under watch depending on whether they succeeded or not. Even so, I should be wary but also try not to do anything different as to not gain any more suspicion. I can use my fame as my safeguard."

"Oh nice a task but that's new an unknown punishment. Doesn't really matter this shouldn't be too hard. The only thing I'm worried about is the 'Any Means' it sounds like I might have to get my hand dirty with this. Am I even able to take a man's/woman's life." I said blankly
System: [I suggest you take it slow by going hunting. It would also be a good outing for you and the family]
"Good point. I do after all have a wilderness survival skill. Maybe I should do a stream about. Yeah, that's what I'll do. Thanks, mate" I said
I immediately checked on the food and set the table ready for the big gathering.
Sorry, it's short. It's still an entertainment-based story this is just a sub-plot so do not worry. If you have any movies, shows or games that you think would be good for him then just say.
Next chapter should be the dinner and a time skip for the concert.
If you've enjoyed just drop you stones to show it or just comment NICE cause that would be nice.
See Ya
