1After finishing physicals for all the students, I implanted explosive chips into every single one of their brains.
Heavily armed SWAT teams had me surrounded.
My voice was terrifyingly calm:
“As long as you fulfill my birthday wish, I’ll disarm the chips.”
“Otherwise, every fifteen minutes, one chip will randomly explode!”
All the parents panicked, desperate to know my wish.
I clenched my jaw, trembling all over.
“I can’t tell you! A wish spoken aloud never comes true.”
“Time is running out; you’ll have to guess it yourselves.”
…
Everyone erupted.
“Are you out of your mind?! How are we supposed to make your wish come true if you don’t tell us?!”
“It’s five already! I need to pick up my kid and get back to work! You’re having a meltdown on your own time, but you’re wasting *all* of ours!”
“I bet those explosive chips are a bluff! Just let the kids go! If you want to celebrate your birthday, go home and do it!”
As they shouted, the SWAT teams tightened their cordon. Some officers looked ready to storm the school.
I chuckled and pressed the button without hesitation.
A deafening blast.
The school nurse’s office turned into a pile of rubble.
Everyone went silent instantly.
If a reinforced concrete building could be reduced to ruins in an instant, imagine what it would do to a human head.
From the crowd outside the school gates, a man stepped forward, hands raised high:
“Dr. Hayes, please, let’s just calm down.”
“I’m here to help you. Just tell us your demands, and we’ll do everything we can to coordinate!”
I knew this man. Detective Miller, the city’s most famous negotiator.
Many parents, their voices trembling, chimed in:
“Dr. Hayes, you’ve been our school doctor for over twenty years. We’ve all seen your dedication.”
“Someone who treats these kids like your own wouldn’t do something like this unless you were truly desperate.”
“Whatever your hardship, just tell us! We’ll support you!”
Their eyes were red and swollen, filled with terror for their children’s safety.
But I just stroked the button in my hand, my voice cold.
“Didn’t I just say?”
“As long as you guess and fulfill my birthday wish, I’ll release the children.”
A few furious parents couldn't take it anymore. They started screaming obscenities, their curses echoing.
Detective Miller glared at them, his expression severe, clearly afraid I’d be provoked again.
I shrugged.
“These chips are incredibly powerful. Once they detonate, a person will be completely disintegrated.”
The parents' eyes were bloodshot with rage, wanting nothing more than to tear me to shreds.
The school’s digital marquee, usually displaying inspirational quotes, now flashed a blood-red countdown.
“Time is running out. I advise you not to waste it cursing at me.”
“You have ten minutes left.”
They had no choice but to compromise, huddling together for a frantic discussion.
A minute later, dozens of armored vans sped towards the intersection.
“Dr. Hayes, we know you’ve struggled financially your entire life. Your parents are bedridden, and their medical bills run into thousands every month!”
