Balance Unlimited

Balance Unlimited

by Meher Abdin

Daisuke Kambe is considered the “super knowledgeable guy in the Police Department.” Nothing escapes his notice. He can gather all facts in order to apprehend the person who committed the crime or done anything wrong. Daisuke awoke one day and went to the ATM to withdraw money from his account. After withdrawing the cash, he reviewed the receipt, which said, “BALANCE INFINITE.”

“That’s odd,” he thought to himself.

Daisuke takes out his debit card and behind the card, he finds a customer service number. He calls the number just to make sure that it’s a mechanical problem and there’s nothing wrong with his accounts.

“Hi, sir! How can I help you?” the customer service representative asks.

“Hi, so I took out $500 from the ATM a few minutes ago and when I look at the receipt, it shows that the balance is infinite.”

“Okay, sir. Give me a minute. Let me check.”

Daisuke is too nervous at the moment. He doesn’t know what the customer service rep is going to tell him.

“It seems like something is wrong with your account, sir!”

“What? Can you tell me what’s wrong with my account?”

“Your bank account does show BALANCE INFINITE, so I have to talk with my supervisor and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.”

After the customer service hangs up the phone, Daisuke gets worried because he knows that if the city or the government finds out he has to go through a lot, he, especially, will get interrogated by his own teammates, and he doesn’t want that. When he gets to his workplace, he forgets everything that happened to him, just focusing on his work and nothing else. His workplace is like someone left some monkeys because people are walking around like they never stop, and it smells like coffee everywhere because they drink coffee every hour, like we can see coffee on every table.

At that moment, it feels like everyone is stressed out, depressed, because everyone has to work on something nonstop. When Daisuke

finishes his work and is on his way home, he suddenly remembers that he has a problem with his account and the customer service representative was supposed to call him but they never called him back. But he is so tired after work, he decides that he’s gonna call them tomorrow.

The next morning, Daisuke wakes up and his face is shining like the sun and he is full of energy. Suddenly, somebody knocks on his door, and when he opens it, he sees a government official. Daisuke’s shiny face suddenly turns gloomy.

“Hello there, how can I help you?” Daisuke asks.

“Sir, we are here to take you into custody, and you’re coming with us right now,” the government official says, holding up his badge.

Daisuke is so shocked, he feels like he got hit by a bolt of lightning! With his shocked face, he asks the people, “Why am I under arrest? And what did I do?”

“We cannot answer your question, but we do have an arrest warrant with us, so the best thing to do is just come with us and don’t say anything, ’cause whatever you say now, it will be used against you. You also know the law since you’re in the police department.”

After Daisuke sees the arrest warrant, he doesn’t say anything. He just takes his jacket and just leaves his house with them. After 30 minutes, the car stops in front of a highly secure building. It’s like a spider web and with one wrong step, you will be in danger. They go in and they put Daisuke in the room that has only a table and a chair. At that moment, Daisuke is so nervous that his body is shaking. It’s like he’s in a room that has a temperature below five. He is sitting there for 30 minutes and then suddenly, the door opens and two men stand in front of him with a black file. And they introduce themselves to Daisuke.

“Hi, my name is Oliver, and his name is William.”

“What is this? Why am I here? What did I do?” Daisuke asks.

“You’re here because we think you are related to some mafia gang because the bank account shows that you have infinite balance,” Oliver says to Daisuke.

Daisuke is shocked again. At the same time, he is surprised too!

“Are you kidding me? I’ve been working for the police department for five years and you think I’m in the mafia?”

“Then tell us how your bank account balances are infinite? We did a lot of research and we found that it doesn’t matter how much money

you spend, your balance will never come down.”

“Look, man, I don’t know what is going on. Yesterday, I just went to the ATM and took out $500, and then, when I saw the receipt, it showed an infinite balance. Then I called customer service to find out what’s happening.”

“So you’re telling us you don’t even know why it’s showing that infinite balance?” Oliver and William keep asking Daisuke questions to find out if he is really in a mafia gang. Then Oliver and William leave the room and tell the guys who don’t that they’re going to come back in an hour. Daisuke is so nervous that he starts sweating because he doesn’t know what they’re going to tell him. Are they going to put him in jail?

When Oliver and William come back, they tell Daisuke to buy a Lamborghini online, which is an expensive car that can cost up to $500,000.

“Are you crazy?” Daisuke says, “‘Cause my bank account doesn’t have that much and I don’t trust this infinite balance. If I buy a Lamborghini right now I will lose all my money!”

“Just do as we said or you’re going to be in trouble.”

Daisuke has no other option. He ends up buying an expensive car, and when he finishes the payment, he goes to his bank account website to find out how much money he has left. When he sees the website, he is so surprised and so shocked, because his account is still showing infinite balance. Daisuke is speechless at that moment, because he doesn’t know what to do and his balance is not going down and now he’s really worried about his life because the government didn’t let him get away. They kept him under surveillance or in prison. After another 30 minutes, Oliver and William come back and this time they’re like:

“We have two offers for you: if you want to live, you have to pay the government one million dollars every month. Your second option is we keep you in this building until we figure out the problem. The choice is yours.”

Daisuke says, “give me some time and let me think about this and I’ll tell you my last and final decision.”

“Okay, we give you one hour today and will come back after one hour,” Oliver says.

Daisuke thinks, and he is happy and also worried at the same time, because even though the government is going to let him go, he’s going to stay under surveillance for 24 hours. Then he is like,

“if I choose to leave this place and have to pay one million dollars to the government every month to help relieve pressure, and since my balance is infinite, I will choose that.”

After one hour, Oliver and William come back and they ask for Daisuke.

“Which option are you going to choose?” William asks.

“I’m going to choose option one. I will pay one million dollars to the government every month and I do know even if I leave this building, I’m not going to be free because you’re going to be watching me.”

Oliver and William looked at Daisuke and smiled.

“Yes, we are going to keep watching you 24 hours a day to make sure that nobody is going to harm you.”

Daisuke leaves the building with a smile and he’s thinking about what he’s going to buy and if he’s going to quit his job or not. And this is how the story goes, but they never solve the mystery about why his balance never goes down and he never quits his job, he stays as a detective, and since he has the power of infinite balance, everybody calls him “The Millionaire Detective.”
