Chapter 24: Flip the Switch

"You did?! That's great! Do me a favor and see what the cameras recorded on January 10th of last year. Over," Mr. Smiley said

"Can do. Over," Y/n nodded as they scrolled through the files and found a video labeled "01-10-16". Y/n played the video and sped it up by 4x speed to see the entire 10 hour video, "What am I looking for? Over,"

"Anything suspicious. Over," Mr. Smiley said

"I see..." Y/n said as they paused the video on a familiar face walking into the arcade with a bag, "I see the old land lord. Over,"

"Bingo," Mr. Smiley said, "What is he doing? Over,"

"He is..." Y/n turned the video to normal speed and watched as the man pulled out packets of pills from his pockets and handed them to adults who approached him with money, "Selling drugs, a lot of them. Over,"

"Ha! I knew it!" Mr. Smiley laughed, "Y/n, I need a copy of that. ASAP... Over,"

"You know he's been charged with possession of drugs already. Over" Y/n told as they loaded up the Bluetooth sharing and connected their phone to start the process

"Oh, I know. Over." Mr. Smiley said, "Parents are accusing me of selling drugs to the kids here! But I always knew it was him. And now I have video proof! Proof it was him and not me! Over,"

"He's probably been doing it for a while," Y/n said, "I think he tampered with the camera system. Over,"

"You think there's video of that too?" Mr. Smiley asked, "Over,"

"Let me check, over," Y/n said as they scrolled to the last recorded video, which was only 5 minutes long. The short video showed the landlord strolling into the security booth and going to the computer, trying to gain access, but having no luck. He then flipped the computer around and switched off the computer power supply, causing the system to go dark, "Yes, there is over,"

"Y/n, bless you and your young, technology understanding mind," Mr. Smiley laughed, "You just saved this old man's butt. Over,"

"All I did was turn on the power," Y/n chuckled as they transferred the new video to their phone, "How do you want me to send this to you? Over,"

"Can you burn it on a DVD? Over," Mr. Smiley asked

"Uh... I mean it's possible," Y/n told, "I'd need a DVD and a laptop with a DVD drive. Over,"

"Does the computer there not have that?" Mr. Smiley asked, "Over,"

"Nope," Y/n frowned as they examined the computer case, "Nothing. Over,"

"I'll see what I can do. Over," Mr. Smiley said

"Alright, keep me posted. Over," Y/n told

"Can do. Resume work as usual," Mr. Smiley told, "Over,"

"Y/n!" Steven cheered as he saw his good friend walking around the arcade, "What're you doing here?"

"Oh, I'm working," Y/n told, "Making sure no one causes any trouble. I'm guessing you're here to have fun?"

"Yep!" Steven laughed, "How's working here?"

"It's something," Y/n chuckled, "I'll tell you and the Gems all about it when I'm finished with my shift in a few hours,"

"Aww, alright," Steven pouted, "I'll see you later then,"

"See you later, buddy," Y/n smiled as they peered outside for a moment to see Onion holding a torch near the Appalachian, "Not again... Onion! Get away from there!"
