00:00Kevin opened the box on his desk and looked inside.
00:04Inside it was a red pill, similar to the tan one that Cook had given him a while back.
00:09He decided to call his friend to find out what this one would do since the last one
00:13had disastrous side effects.
00:15Kevin, didn't I already give you a pill?
00:18Cook slowly said.
00:19Anyway, I found out from the head researcher that the medical properties of the new pill
00:24actually enhance the properties of the first one you took.
00:28It should help you a lot.
00:30Cook's tedious explanation started to give Kevin a headache.
00:34I have to get back to work.
00:36Talk to you later.
00:37Kevin hung up the phone and stared at the pill.
00:39He clearly remembered how he'd felt after taking the first one.
00:43Do I take it or not?
00:45Kevin pondered.
00:47He thought for a while and decided that his friend wouldn't try to hurt him.
00:51So he picked up the pill and swallowed it.
00:53Within seconds, Kevin felt like his whole body was engulfed in flames.
00:58It was like his brain was burning with an indescribable pain.
01:02Then Kevin fell to the ground in agony.
01:05He closed his eyes and passed out.
01:08Half an hour later, when Kevin slowly came to, he couldn't find any change to his body.
01:14That was fine with him since the last pill had given him that disgusting, smelly ooze
01:18all over him.
01:20He thought to himself, I hope those researchers didn't trick him.
01:24I don't really feel any different.
01:27Jason's phone rang and startled him back to reality.
01:29Hello?
01:30Hello, is this Kevin?
01:33Kevin didn't recognize the charming voice that was speaking to him.
01:37Who's this?
01:38Kevin asked in confusion.
01:39This is Phoebe Anderson.
01:40We met at the Whitsler Hotel.
01:41She paused for a moment.
01:42At the celebration the family threw after getting the Williams contract.
01:50The event had turned into a real mess because of Jason's behavior, but Kevin hadn't forgotten
01:55her.
01:57Oh, of course.
01:58I remember you now.
01:59What can I do for you?
02:00He was polite, but still had his doubts about what he was getting into.
02:04He hadn't spoken with Phoebe since that day.
02:07Why would she suddenly call him out of the blue?
02:10I've been meaning to ask you, at Grandma Jones's birthday party, did you give her an antique
02:18tiara?
02:19She asked with a hint of curiosity.
02:20Yes.
02:21Why?
02:22Kevin asked in an aloof tone.
02:24He did give Grandma Jones a tiara, but before he could present it to her, Bradley had ruined
02:30his plan.
02:31Kevin ended up angrily taking back the gift and leaving.
02:34Do you still have the tiara?
02:37Phoebe asked excitedly.
02:39It's only a trinket.
02:40Are you interested in it?
02:42Kevin said teasingly.
02:44Phoebe replied in a very serious tone of voice.
02:46Kevin, the Jones family isn't aware of it, but I peeked in the bag when nobody was looking.
02:53I'm sure that it's the legendary Golden Sunburst Tiara.
02:58Kevin slightly raised his eyebrows.
03:00He really didn't expect Phoebe to know about this.
03:03So what would you like to know?
03:06Kevin asked with interest.
03:07Don't worry.
03:08I just want to take a few photos, Phoebe said hesitantly.
03:12Okay.
03:13I think we can arrange that.
03:15Kevin agreed readily.
03:16Really?
03:17If you're free now, you can come to our antique store, Anderson Fine Jewelry and Antiques.
03:24I'll wait for you here, Phoebe said excitedly.
03:27She was afraid that Kevin would refuse.
03:30After all, the Golden Sunburst only existed in legends.
03:34There were few written records of it, and she was only aware of it from rare eyewitness
03:39accounts.
03:40Phoebe had only seen sketches of it, but she had studied them well.
03:44An hour later, Kevin arrived at the entrance of the Anderson Family Store.
03:49This was the biggest antiques store in all of Chicago, and it contained many priceless
03:54treasures.
03:55Kevin had heard a lot about the place, but he'd never been there before.
03:59Just as he was entering the door, an employee stopped him.
04:02Excuse me, sir, are you on the list?
04:05Kevin glanced at the nameplate on the man's chest, Doug Birch.
04:09Then he asked, what list?
04:12If you're not aware of the list, then you probably shouldn't be here, Birch said disdainfully.
04:17There are only two ways to get in here.
04:19The first is to have a special invitation, and the second is to be an antique dealer.
04:23Which one are you?
04:25I was invited by Phoebe Anderson, Kevin replied calmly.
04:29The man took a look at Kevin's clothes and smirked.
04:32Wearing those rags?
04:34You can't possibly know President Anderson.
04:37Kevin's irritation showed on his face.
04:39He didn't expect a staff member to be so rude.
04:42Get lost, Birch said as he pushed Kevin out the door and onto the sidewalk.
04:47Kevin didn't strike back, but Birch staggered back and fell to the ground like he'd been
04:52hit really hard.
04:54How dare you push me, he shouted as he got up off the ground.
04:58Security, robbery.
05:00Two security guards showed up immediately.
05:03Arrest him and take him to the police station, Birch said as he pointed at Kevin.
05:08The two security guards looked menacing as they rushed up to Kevin and grabbed his arms.
05:14You'd better cooperate or you'll regret it, one of the guards said coldly.
05:18That's enough, Kevin shouted.
05:21This is such an overreaction, he thought.
05:24Kevin struggled slightly and the two guards flew six feet away, hitting the ground with
05:28a thud.
05:30Kevin was stunned by this.
05:31He looked down at his hands in disbelief.
05:34How did I get so strong, he thought to himself.
05:38You're in big trouble now, Birch yelled.
05:41What are you talking about?
05:43You attacked me first, Kevin pointed out.
05:47Birch looked over at the two security guards who were getting up from the sidewalk.
05:51Arrest him.
05:52Just then they heard a loud voice.
05:55What are you doing?
05:57Kevin turned around and saw a man walking out of the store.
06:01Sir, you have to help me, Birch quickly ran to the store's manager, Stephen Burrows, and
06:06sobbed.
06:07He came here to rob the store.
06:09When I tried to stop him, he threw me to the ground.
06:12He continued his accusation.
06:14Then he beat up these two guards.
06:16Burrows walked up to Kevin.
06:18Sir, do you have a reasonable explanation for this?
06:22He looked threatening but remained polite.
06:26Who do you believe, me or him, Kevin asked flatly.
06:30Burrows frowned, turned around and said to Birch and the guards, please show him off
06:35the property.
06:36All right, Mr. Burrows, Birch said with a smile.
06:41He stared spitefully at Kevin and said, so you want to cause trouble, well, I'll teach
06:46you a lesson.
06:47A moment later, Birch was lying on the ground staring up at Kevin.
06:51Half of his face immediately swelled up.
06:54Kevin had barely touched him.
06:56This is getting annoying, Kevin said unemotionally.
07:00You're a dead man, Birch growled as he rubbed his face.
07:04When Burrows saw this, he was very upset.
07:07Do you have a death wish or something?
07:10Burrows had lost patience with Kevin.
07:12Kevin decided he'd wasted enough time with these stooges.
07:15He took out his phone and called Phoebe.
07:18If you're not down at the front door in two minutes, I'm out of here.
07:21He didn't give Phoebe a chance to respond.
07:24He just hung up the phone.
07:26It's useless to call for help.
07:28We're calling the police.
07:29But first we're going to beat the crap out of you, Birch shouted as he struggled to get
07:33up.
07:34He stood next to the manager and glared at Kevin.
07:37In fact, Birch and manager Burrows were cousins.
07:41Burrows used his influence to get him his job as the head of security.
07:45Needless to say, the job and his family connection went to Birch's head.
07:50Mr. Birch, he looks pretty poor.
07:52I don't think he can even afford a lawyer, one of the security guards said.
07:56That's right.
07:57His clothes look like he got them at the thrift store, the other guard said.
08:02I don't care, Birch responded.
08:04Then he turned to look at Burrows.
08:06Cousin, I'll leave it up to you.
08:09Burrows took a deep breath and walked over to Kevin.
08:12You've been a lot of trouble today.
08:15I think I'll let security spend a little time with you before we send you to the police
08:19station.
08:21The manager's attitude gave Kevin an uneasy feeling.
08:24How would he get out of this without even more trouble?
08:27Suddenly they heard a woman's voice from the entrance.
08:30Phoebe practically ran out the door.
08:33Kevin, when did you get here?
08:35Why didn't you come inside?
08:37Burrows and the others immediately snapped to attention when they saw her.
08:42President Anderson.
08:44Kevin looked Phoebe in the eyes and explained.
08:47President Anderson, your security guards just threatened to beat me up and have me arrested.
08:52Are you sure I'm still welcome?
08:55What are you talking about?
08:56You've misunderstood, sir, Birch said to Kevin.
09:00Phoebe was stunned at first, but when she saw the look on Birch's face, she understood
09:04what was going on.
09:06What's this about? she asked sternly.
09:09President Anderson, he's the one who barged in and hit me, he replied.
09:14She didn't want to hear another word.
09:16You're fired.
09:18Don't you think you owe me an apology?
09:20Kevin asked Birch.
09:21Never, he replied arrogantly.
09:24Kevin turned around and looked at Phoebe.
09:27He smiled and said, Why, President Anderson, I'm surprised that you hired someone like
09:31this.
09:32When Phoebe heard this, she turned to the man and said, Yes, I think an apology is in
09:38order.
09:39Birch was about to argue with her, but he decided it would be easier to just apologize.
09:44Yes, ma'am.
09:46Then what are you waiting for?
09:48If you want to continue working here, you have to apologize to this gentleman.
09:53Phoebe crossed her arms and waited.
09:55Birch closed his eyes.
09:57He knew that his cousin had finally gone too far and had been rude to the wrong person.
10:02Even though he was the store manager, he was an Anderson family employee.
10:06There was no way he was going to stand up for his cousin.
10:10On top of that, he didn't expect Kevin to be so important, especially the way he was
10:14dressed.
10:15Birch walked meekly over to Kevin and said quietly, Sir, I apologize.
10:21Kevin cupped his ear and said, I'm sorry.
10:24I don't think I heard you.
10:27Birch took a deep breath and shouted, I'm sorry, sir.
10:32That's better, Kevin said with a slight smile.
10:35Then Kevin handed the bag containing the gold sunburst tiara to Phoebe.
10:40Here you go.
10:41Go ahead and take all the photos you want.
10:43She looked very excited.
10:45She immediately grabbed Kevin's elbow and pulled him into the shop.
10:49Phoebe led him into the store's photography studio.
10:52She set up a camera and placed the tiara on a beautiful backdrop that helped highlight
10:56all the details of the piece.
10:58Kevin watched her intently.
11:00After taking quite a lot of shots, Phoebe turned off the studio lights and put the camera
11:04away.
11:05She turned to Kevin and said, Thank you so much.
11:09No problem.
11:10If you ever want to see it again, just give me a call.
11:13Anytime.
11:14Kevin slowly put the valuable item back in his bag.
11:18Phoebe nodded.
11:19Then she hesitated for a moment and said, Kevin, there's something else I'd like to
11:23ask.
11:24Go ahead, Kevin said with a smile.
11:27The legendary golden sunburst has been lost for many years.
11:31How did you track it down?
11:32She asked him.
11:34Having grown up in a family that was involved in the antique business, Phoebe was well aware
11:38of its value.
11:39She was very curious how Kevin, who everyone claimed had been freeloading off the Jones
11:44family for three years, had found such a precious object.
11:48If I told you that this was a family heirloom, would you believe me?
11:52Kevin replied with a smile.
11:54A staff member suddenly ran into the room and interrupted them.
11:57President Anderson, we need your help downstairs.
12:00Phoebe was surprised by this and replied.
12:03Is it something that you can't handle yourself?
12:06The man's name was Albert Landau.
12:08He was a senior antique appraiser who had worked for the Anderson family for more than
12:1210 years.
12:13It was extremely unusual for Mr. Landau to have trouble appraising an antique.
12:18This gentleman has brought a string of antique pearls.
12:21There's something about their quality that's giving me some trouble arriving at a value.
12:25I really can't make a decision, Mr. Landau said somewhat awkwardly.
12:30Kevin wondered if he might be able to help.
