So none of the HOTs would care or notice if one of their own went messing? Cammy (Rio's roommate and friend) wouldn't raise the alarm? Sage who shown throughout the story to actually care about the sisters wouldn't notice or care? Tremolo wouldn't notice? (if you go on the date with her). Cammy is willing to fuck Tremolo in the corridor at school while her best friend is missing?
Why would Stephen want to off a student? Aside from bad optics if it ever came out, Riona was part of the restaurant, she didn't run it, you wouldn't kill someone from the restaurant when you can just expel or suspend the person who's running it.
My prediction is she'll show up fine, upset, probably a bit shook up, likely cut things off with Quinn, and she'll be out of the rest of the update recovering
That is, if Cammy desides to go to Sage. But my gut is telling me that she goes to Quinn instaid and that Quinn will tell her some bogus reason to not look for Rio, like for example (emphasis on the Example): my people are already looking for her, just be patient. Calls MC, hey i got a restaurant offer for you, she is verry special, so you only have to pay 4$ instaid of 5$.
Then Cammy confides to MC, and he connects the dots, goes with Cammy and a few other trusted friends, who will tell others, and still mount a whole search operation, eventually Sage also finds out, either directly from MC, or from someone who is helping. then confronts Quinn, finds out about all her operations, Quinn loses face, is expelled from the HoT's, sage mad on her dad, Quinn is expelled from school. then either has to roam the street or beg Sage, propably with intel about Vinny, to do something for her, sage feels bad but demands that Quinn stops her operations, informs all the teachers about what happened between the drug operation, the restaurant and everything else.
Okey i could go on, but 2 episodes later, through the actions of Sage and others, all illegal operations are shut down, Buddy actively looking for Quinn to get payback, propably with the help of Vinny, followed by a shootout where Quinn gets backup from Tommy becouse of his hate against Vinny.
So half of that isnt based on facts offcourse. but i had to think about a fitting ending where DPC has his kills (if he is still going for that), Vinny getting what he deserves, and Tommy out of the picture for the shootout, so that the MC becomes president of the DiKs, and Lily president of the Hots and the combination of Bella & Jill as presidents of Preps. 20 years later, Sage becomes headmaster of B&R. and they all sit around a campfire telling stories about how it was when they wer students. The End.
