"What?! What do you mean the files were wiped out? Is it on the flash drive, right?"
"Yeah, the problem is… The flash drive's missing…"
"Oh… that's a big, big problem…"
A man in distress called his boss to report that the flash drive that he was supposed to hold on to was missing. However, the other line, surprisingly was in a calming state as he tries to relax the troubled individual.
"All of the remaining data are in that flash drive?"
"Yeah… unfortunately…" The employee sighed.
"So that means that the remaining episodes will be cancelled… Then I should call our broadcasting partner for this sudden news…"
"Uh, Mr. A?"
"What is it?"
"Will I be in big, big trouble?"
The boss went quiet for a few seconds, assuming that he was deciding if it is the end of the track for his employee or not.
"Okay, you are fortunate. Since I'm an innovative and a kind man, I won't fire you and since it all comes down to this, I have decided to disclose 'Plan B'."
"Plan B?"
"Yes."
"Then what is it?"
10 minutes later
"Oh… that would be an interesting concept…"
"Yep, however, since you are the one who lost the flash drive, I guess it's a no-brainer for you to be in charge of making contacts with them." Mr. A replied.
"With them? But I don't know these people—"
"Calm down, I'll have someone send to you the list and try to make them in contact, in any means possible."
"Oh, okay. I'll just wait for the document to arrive."
"Very well." Mr. A responded serenely.
"Thank you so much, Mr. A!"
"No problem, kiddo. And just a tip… what I meant of 'any means possible', I really mean it! You'll get the gist when you read the document."
"Okay, Mr. A. I'll remember it."
"Alright, see 'ya. I need to call our partners and the producers urgently."
"Bye, Mr. A! See you!"
The call dropped as the employee was relieved that he got his work still intact but was paid with a price.
25 minutes later
The employee finally received the document from the mailman and slowly opens the content of the mail, revealing a thin document, and began reading.
After what seemed like a convincing document, he then now realized what his boss has said to him earlier.
"…What I meant of 'any means possible', I really mean it! You'll get the gist when you read the document."
"OHHHH… So that's what he meant by that." He paused then widens a smile from his face, chuckling lightly. "Oh, Mr. A, you are the cleverest man that I have ever met, you crafty bastard!"
A/N:
Q1: So… you have realized that this was a short chapter? Did you saw this as a completed fic? Why?
In reality, The Amazing Race: The Crossover 2 is officially over prematurely.
Yes, you read it right. It's over.
Q1.1 Why?
Well, it goes like this.
Since my computer is in a bad state, I have finally decided to reformat my computer, due to its problematic features that I have been experiencing for the past few months, it's been irked me since then.
The initial plan was to save my other works from being vanished with a flash drive or sending them to a file storage site. However, as a man who always forgets most of the time, just went straight to the process and went on to fix my computer without doing the aforementioned actions above.
There are lots of pending works that I have to finish, not just for this fic but for the others as well! That was a bad mistake for me. I have never felt so ashamed of forgetting important things than this! Those were my works that have been made for these past few months. I'm really, really dumb.
I will have to apologize for this sudden news to everyone who read, supported, reviewed the season. I wholeheartedly appreciate it. Even though I'm still in college, I am just trying to get some progress for my works, just for your own sake, but in the end, I messed it up. Big time.
Q2: So… what comes next for my Amazing Race series?
To simply put it this way… REDESIGN. REBUILD. RECLAIM.
I have to reconstruct a new batch of teams for this… let's just say it's a spin-off? I don't know honestly. But let's say it's named – The Amazing Race: The Crossover 2.5? Yeah, I think that's what it's called. But… I don't want to ruin the surprise because I'll be giving it a title soon, so that's what it should be called right now. *wink*
For me, this being the next in line in the series, I'm very excited about this! This could be my favorite line-up of teams to compete because they are characters that need to get the shine in the limelight! I think I have seen a few TARs about them but I'm giving it a shot.
Q3: What can we expect from the upcoming teams?
Well, they are interesting characters. This was the reason that I need to make a first chapter that will only focus on their character first (P.S. This is a spoiler!) immediately. Because the first chapter will be on how they got to the race or how they ended up being as one, something like that in between.
From a racing perspective - new locations, challenges, elements (not really, I'm going to borrow a few from the flagship franchise at some point), etc.
Q4: When will get to see the first chapter?
If I'm finished with the current semester, I can publish it within this month.
And that's it… for now.
I'll see you soon for a new season of The Amazing Race: The Crossover!
If you have any questions or suggestions, or anything else, you can DM me here or put it on your review.
Ciao~
