He Wondered Why It Happened Every Day
Sam Roberts was aware that something was not okay the initial day Abigail remained in class an hour after everyone else had left. Nevertheless, he couldn't have imagined her circumstance would be so serious.
He did not know the reality until she requested his assistance. He was the solitary individual who could aid her in her difficult situation. He was willing to do anything to put the situation right that her educator had created.
Sam Roberts
Sam was expected to be no longer active, and he was able to enjoy a period of tranquility for a short while. Unfortunately, his respite from work was not to last.
When his daughter showed up at his door with a newborn and tears in her eyes, he had to make a drastic adjustment to his lifestyle. He needed to find work in order to provide for the additional members of his family.
A Navy Man
Prior to Sam's end of service, he was devoted to the Navy. At the age of 21 he enlisted, and he stayed in service until he quit.
He cherished the position because he had the opportunity to gain knowledge of numerous topics. What's more, the division that he was in was growing rapidly. This kept him agile, strong, and vigorous.
Tough Retirement
Leaving the Navy was a difficult transition for him. He desired to continue working and gaining knowledge, but unfortunately the Navy had no room for someone his age. To make matters worse, his daughter then moved in with him. Before she came, he had been living alone and his retirement savings wasn't enough to pay the bills.
He had to take whatever job he could get, which was why he ended up tidying the floors of the nearby secondary school.
Doing What He Can
Sam had a job that wasn't the best, but it did give him the extra funds to look after his daughter and grandchild.
He had a particular aim in mind, so he got up bright and early every day to do whatever he was capable of. Unbeknownst to him, he had to go back to his beginnings to be of assistance to a learner.
In The Flow Of Things
After a few weeks of employment, Sam began to take pleasure in his position. The work was not overly strenuous, allowing him to concentrate his energies on other matters.
After many years in the armed forces, a few habits were deeply embedded in him, such as inspecting the area. These abilities would aid him in the discovery of a mystery that was ignored by everyone else.
One Afternoon
That afternoon, Sam was occupied with tidying the corridor. An hour before, all the pupils had gone, offering him the opportunity to work slowly and without concern of them soiling it once more.
As he made his way through the corridors, something unexpected caught his eye. A student was still inside and she greeted him cheerfully.
A Telling Smile
Sam showed courteousness by inclining his head towards her. However, the moment she turned the corner, he checked his timepiece. He was confused as to why she was still there since all the rooms had already been secured.
Sam had seen her before and noticed that she never exhibited that same expression for anyone else. Unbeknownst to him, that grin was the answer to everything.
The Next Day
Sam believed the girl's exit was a one-off occurrence, yet the next day the same thing occurred. The variation was that Sam spotted her walking out of a lesson this time.
Sam was very puzzled by the situation. He was curious as to why the girl was out so late and decided to introduce himself in an attempt to get some answers. Unfortunately, the only thing he got out of it was her name, Abigail Dylan.
An Entire Week
For the rest of the week, Abigail experienced the same sequence. Each day, she would remain in the classroom for an extra hour compared to the other learners.
She transitioned from flashing Sam a grin to having brief conversations with him. Still, she never disclosed why she lingered so far after everyone else had gone. As a result, Sam began to become dubious.
Something Wasn't Right
Sam felt a strong feeling that something was off about this whole affair. This prompted him to investigate further.
Sam had no concept that he would discover a global plan. From that point forward, Sam cautiously viewed Abigail, and he noticed a lot of peculiarities. Still, he would only come to know more once he trailed her.
Following Her
At the end of the day when the school bell sounded, Sam trailed behind Abigail who had just left the room she had been in and made her way to the area he had seen her depart from multiple times.
When she shut the door, he stealthily got nearer in order to eavesdrop on what was happening. At that point, he heard the sound of her male teacher.
No Clues
Sam loitered in the vicinity, feigning to tidy up, while he waited for Abigail to exit. Precisely 60 minutes later, she headed out. Yet that wasn't the thing that amazed Sam the most.
Quickly after Abigail drove off, Mr. Thompson, her math educator, departed too. Sam sneaked into the classroom, hoping to get some clues. However, there was nothing.
Was He Mistaken
Sam took notice of the mathematical equations that had been written on the blackboard when he was in the classroom.
Sam was puzzled by the balled up papers in the trash can. Was he wrong to think the worst? Was Abigail just visiting for added instruction? These queries had no affirmative responses.
Deciding To Back Off
Sam felt like his military experience was taking over, so he chose to step away.
He was on good terms with Abigail, and he was certain that if she ever had any difficulties, she would come to him or any other grown-up. And that's exactly what happened a few days later.
One Fateful Day
Sam disregarded all the persistent prods to further his inquiry and kept doing his occupation as usual.
Every single day, he would talk to Abigail before she departed and act like nothing else mattered. However, this particular day was unlike the others. When Abigail exited the room, she wasn't grinning, and that only meant one thing: something was wrong.
Maintaining Eye Contact
Abigail went right up to Sam without uttering a single syllable. Her gaze stayed fixed on him the whole time.
Sam observed a sorrowful expression in her eyes, threatening to make her cry. He stepped towards the female, yet she rejected him by shaking her head and going around him. However, they still locked eyes.
A Little Smile
At the bend, Abigail came to a halt. She beamed a sorrowful expression at Sam that made him feel like he had to cease whatever he was doing and uncover the cause of her distress.
It was then that Abigail made a move that would turn the tides. She dug into her rear pocket and brought out a piece of paper that had been creased. What was her purpose?
A Definite Sign
Abigail hoisted the document up and silently said, “This is for you.” Afterwards, she laid it on the edge of the rubbish bin and exited.
Sam was sure this time that she had made no errors. She wanted to ensure that he was aware the message was meant for him, and that it was essential for him to read its contents before the opportunity ran out.
Searching The Bag
Sam hastened to the garbage can, yet the correspondence had plunged into the sack. He didn't fret, though. If there was difficulty, he wasn't going to permit a smidgen of litter impede him from discovering an answer.
Sam took the sack out of the container and examined its contents. Fortunately, he had already put something new in it earlier that day, so there wasn't much inside.
A Note
Sam eyed the tidily arranged paper and hurriedly removed it. The next thing he beheld completely altered his prior understanding.
He continuously stared at the two words written on the paper. "Assist me." That was all she said, but Sam was aware of how significant this plea was. He could only speculate what sort of difficulty she was facing.
Forced To Act
Sam realized the female was in a difficult position and inexplicably, she had sought him as her aid.
He was uncertain of the circumstances or how he could lend a hand, however he was aware that whatever it was, it was occurring in room 309. And when the next day dawned, he would put an end to it with finality.
The Next Day
The following day, Sam waited outside the classroom where Abigail was taking her final class. When the final bell sounded and the students hastened away, he trailed her to her next destination.
Prior to entering the room, she gazed upon him with huge imploring eyes. Sam gave an affirmative sign, comprehending that she was merely inquiring if he was supportive of her or not.
An Interrupted Session
Sam paused for a short while and then burst into the room armed with a broom. He was disappointed to see that what he had expected to find wasn't there.
Abigail was beside her math instructor, and the individual was demonstrating something to her on his tablet. The two of them were having a dispute, but Sam had no clue what was going on. What had he just stumbled upon?
The Whole Story
Mr. Thompson questioned, "What is he doing here?" Abigail retorted, "You needed help, I brought it." Sam was dumbstruck. How would he be able to aid the both of them?
Abigail began to tell her story. Unfortunately, her mom had passed away a few months prior, and Mr. Thompson had persuaded her to give him her inheritance to invest in digital currency. However, he was tricked and Abigail was left with nothing.
Right Man For The Job
Abigail was familiar with Sam. Her dad enlisted in the Navy a short while before Sam concluded his service, and he was assigned to the same unit as Sam.
He explained a great many tales to Abigail regarding a person who had the ability to decode any code in the world. As a result, she was certain he could help her reclaim her money. Sam was knowledgeable in all matters related to computers and the web. If there was anyone who could do it, it was surely him.
Tech Expert
Luckily, Abigail's father was accurate in what he said. While Sam was serving in the military, he was in charge of telecommunications which included repairing hardware and developing software that most people were unaware of.
Despite the lack of recognition, he was an absolute master of the computer realm.
Tracking The Funds
Sam asked Abigail and Mr. Thompson to come to his house, as he had the required equipment for this examination.
Once they touched down, he obtained every detail Mr. Thompson possessed about the money and the culprits that deceived him. Utilizing that, he began pursuing the funds. There was an infinite list of exchanges. It was a ploy criminals utilized when seeking to conceal their footprints. But no one could elude Sam.
Forced Reversal
When Sam finished his digital trip around the world and found the money, he initiated a compulsory turn-around.
Within a few hours, Abigail was expecting to see her funds returned to her bank account, where it was meant to be. Simultaneously, Sam was doing something that Abigail and Mr. Thompson were unaware of.
Not Done Yet
Sam was boiling mad that the fraudsters were exploiting a young lady and her naive instructor, and he yearned to demonstrate them a lesson. Thus, he covertly replicated all the data he discovered.
Once Abigail and her instructor had gone, he forwarded the data to the FBI. The swindlers were unaware that he was able to trace their exact whereabouts. They were not in a foreign country.
