“You're playing with fire going out there on your own, girl. Next time, try to avoid doing these field investigations

solo, alright?”

Regina offered a bashful smile, well aware that they were just looking out for her. Still, she believed in her own

capabilities to handle the job just as well as anyone else and had no intention of heeding their advice.

After polishing off a bowl of instant ramen, Regina felt the warmth seep back into her body. She scooted closer to

her senior colleague and asked, “This is my first thandling a task like this. Where do you think I should start

breaking through?”

The others looked surprised. “Your first time! Why didn’t you have a mentor with you for your first assignment?

Whose team are you on?”

“Um, well, they all didn’t want to pursue the investigation any further, and | didn’t want to give up, so | came

alone,” Regina explained hesitantly, and they nodded in understanding.

“I was just like you at your age, full of energy and determination. | wouldn't touch a case unless it was a big deal

or a wrongful accusation. But that’s all water under the bridge now. Even if your colleagues are hesitant to put in

the grunt work, they shouldn't have left you to fend for yourself here. It's always better to have a partner, at

least for safety’s

sake.”

“| get it. Next t| definitely won't put myself in a risky situation again. Thanks for the heads-up,” Regina said,

nodding vigorously as the veterans began to open up.

“Did you do your homework on what used to be on this land before you chere? You should look into the

whole backstory.”

Regina nodded again, pulling out her little notebook.

“I did sdigging. According to the records, the residents of the old neighborhood moved out without a hitch,

and they all received a pretty penny for their troubles or were relocated to decent housing. Otherwise, this

project wouldn't have gone through so

smoothly.”

This was where Regina's real confusion lay. Normally, if the compensation was right, residents were happy to

move into new homes. Considering how much thad passed, it seemed odd that someone would suddenly

show up, acting like they'd been swindled by the developers.

But when she looked into that man’s eyes, Regina felt ashamed for harboring such dark suspicions. He looked so

down and out; how could she entertain such thoughts about him?

“You're right; the info we have is just what's on the surface. But you find it strange too, don’t you? Why does that

man seem so distressed?”

They too were puzzled by the situation. It was either the developer taking advantage of the man, or the ran was

lying. Those were the only two possibilities.

until now, they couldn’t be certain who was at fault since the evidence they had was scant, and the man wasn’t

talking.

“Alright, we're all in the dark here. We need to get that man to speak up and share his side. of the story. At least

that way, we'll have a lead to follow. Now that the land has been tidied up and fallen into Nolan’s hands, branded

with the Harris Group’s name, how can we possibly uncover anything else?”

Regina whispered, “Are you suggesting that Nolan played dirty, and that’s why we can’t find anything?”

The senior colleague suddenly burst into a coughing fit, “Cough, cough, cough! Good grief, girl! You can’t just

blurt out accusations like that in the open. If someone overhears and it gets back to Nolan, you're toast. Your

journalism career would be over before it even started.”
