Chapter 6

What does it say?

A Link

It was a link to a website.

"You're not just gonna open that, are you?" Monica asked Julie. "Ten bucks says that's a virus!"

I assure you, I'm legit.

"One way to find out..." Julie said as she clicked the link, opening up a web browser. Much to the two women's shock, it lead to an article about a recently deceased multimillionaire business tycoon. The article also showed a picture of a young man in his mid twenties standing next to a painting of an older man in his sixties.

This is my late father. He left all his money, nine hundred ninety-nine million dollars, to me in his will. Nine hundred thousand is no dent in my wallet.

"And we know you're telling the truth... How?"

Fair point. Perhaps this could persuade you to believe me?

Another message popped up, this time showing another picture of the young man from the article. This time, however, it was much more current with the man tugging his ear with one hand, touching his nose with his other, and sticking out his tongue.

"I think it may be legit, Mon." Julie said, "I mean, how many people take selfies with that random of a pose?"

Monica wanted to argue... But Julie had a point. Monica sighed and shook her head. "Fine. What's the first dare?"
