He looks a bit taken back for a few minutes but swiftly recover.
"How did you know?"
Instead of answering his question I pulled out my phone, unlocked it and scrolled through some pictures till I reached the autopsy picture and I handed it to him. His eyes scanned the screen and suddenly drew a sharp breath.
"The only person who has all dad's files are Aunt Jane.. " He trailed off. Then he winced sharply, "Oh.. Yikes you found out the hard way." He handed me back my phone. I rolled my eyes. "You think?" I folded my arms. "So what's actually going on? Does mom know about this?" sharply
He nodded seriously. "Yes. She does. As a matter of fact the accident was staged."
My mouth dropped open in surprise. "Dad's the boss of an International Agency Federation." He continues. "This agency works alongside the Government on classified projects and missions." He stopped to take a breath. I sat in his chair dumbfounded. I couldn't believe what was actually being said to me.
"So, why did he left us for 14 years? Why was his accident staged?" I questioned with confusion.
"I was just getting to that." He said.
"His cases started getting dangerous, becoming enemies with some of the greatest minds behind the scenes. They frequently tried to seek him out, which led to mom and dad getting a divorce and going separate ways. You and Shawn are in the custody of Mom and I myself in the hands of Dad because I work for him." I silently drank in the new information. I absolutely have NO IDEA what to think.
Then a thought came to me. "So the night I saw you drove off with that other dude, you were.. Working with him?" He nodded. "Yes. I'm sorry you found out like this." He said sheepishly. "We were actually planning to tell you for your 18th birthday." I rolled my eyes. "So if he's alive and all is well then where is he at now?"
He grabbed his car keys and got up. Spinning it around his finger said.
"Care to find out?" He grinned.

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/
