CHAPTER 10

"His family works at the Post Office", Lily said though she knew what she said was utter rubbish.

"Sorry girls I don't know", the guy said and walked away.

Lily stared at Techna and Nance and nodded her head in disappointment.

"Let's walk", said Techna.

Time went by as the three walked through the streets. They stopped by to ask a few people, but nobody knew a boy named Krist. Their hopes dwindled as they passed each intersection of the town. They stopped by to eat their sandwiches and bought three drinks from a cafe. The time was  2:00 P.M already. Techna looked at her phone and said the last bus back to Pentaville was at 5:00 P.M. They agreed to return on that bus. 

They passed the Post Office but didn't get in, they knew it was useless. 

Forty-five minutes passed and now they stood in front of a Children's park. They decided it was better to erase the memory of Krist and head back. Lily felt desperate but her friends cheered her up, after all, they had a great time, got to know a new Town. Lily took out her phone and texted Aunt she'll be back by 6:00. They watched the kids playing cheerfully in the park.

They turned away from the Park and started to walk, just then they heard someone calling Lily's name.

"Lily..? Is that you?"

Lily, Techna, and Nance turned back.

Their eyes widened, Lily's face turned bright.

"Krist ?", asked Techna, her eyeballs were about to pop out.

"Yes Techna, how did you guys get here?", Krist was surprised and looked so happy.

"Who the ...?", Techna burst out angrily.

"Calm down Tech, let me explain", Krist said and moved close to Lily.

"Thanks for coming, I thought I'll never see you again."

Lily smiled and asked, "What is this all about Krist?"

"Follow me, girls I'll explain everything to you", Krist said and started to walk; the three girls followed him.

"Is your name Krist ?", Lily asked, her eyes longed for an answer.

Krist sighed and started:

"My name is Kristen Shaw and I don't belong to a family of Post Office employees, my dad is Derick Shaw a former basketball champion. My mom .. she passed away when I was eight. Yes, I live in Citadelbay; my home is just around the corner. The guy I said was my dad when I was in Pentaville, he's not .., he's one of my dad's friends. I came to Pentaville to steal the Warrior's Cup."

The three girls stared at him stupefied.

"Don't stare you heard me right. The story that I told you about the cyber gang .. actually it was not my dad who those people threatened, it was just an incident that happened a year ago, we have nothing to do in it. When you three found out that I was the one who tried to break in, I just narrated to you the incident replacing the actual people with mine and dad's name. I tried to break into the security room to turn the surveillance camera off so that I can enter the Hall of Fame without being seen and I did enter the Hall of Fame and take the well-known possession of your school. As we didn't know how long it will take for me to steal it, my dad's friend played the role of Head P.O, and we moved into the town as father and son. My job was over but as you three saw me I had to get out of the town, and of course, the cops found out about the scam. So I returned back to my town and dad's friend stowed away to Australia."

Lily, Techna, and Nance wondered how he could say all these things effortlessly.

"How can we believe you Krist.. again?", asked Nance.

"You will soon", Krist said and he looked at Lily.

Lily had sorrow in her face and she gazed at him blankly.

"Don't start hating me Lil", Krist's eyes pleaded.

"Why did you steal?", Lily asked.
