Chapter 282 - Gregory Light (3)

It was Thursday evening. Time for Sarah and Aiden to empty hidden offshore accounts owned by Gregory Light.

Two of them sat next to each other, both in front of their custom-made laptops which they use for hacking. Between them is a list of bank accounts they need to empty.

Sarah and Aiden are excited, this is what they love to do, and they get to do it together. Also, everything is a competition with these two.

"Let's see who gets in first" Sarah taunted him.

"Who finishes first, can pick next account, without delay... let's count overall score also." Aiden suggested.

Sarah nodded. "Deal... start the countdown."

Aiden licked his lips. "Five... four... three... now!" He laughed as his fingers started flying over the keyboard.

"You... cheater!" Sarah protested, but she didn't have time to spare on complaints if she wants to win.

…

Half an hour later their temporary email account had 'Thank you for the anonymous donation' emails from three nonprofits who fight to prevent violence and exploitation of women.

"This felt good." Sarah concluded. "Poetic justice... Mister scumbag's accounts are empty, and these non-profits will be up for a surprise in the morning." Sarah laughed.

"I won!" Aiden was glowing.

Sarah protested. "What won? You cheated and got a first crack in... but in overall score, I won!"

"Who cheated? If two seconds is so important for you, how can you call yourself a worthy opponent?" Aiden teased her.

"Hey... against you, every second counts." Sarah admitted.

"Mmm... even I need to acknowledge your skills." Aiden said lovingly and pulled her in his embrace.

"We should do this again... together." She looked at him with eyes full of expectation.

Aiden nodded in agreement. "How about we join an event as a team?"

"Oh, that sounds great! Let's found an event!" Sarah was ecstatic to hear that he is willing. She wondered, will they join as Sigma and Omega, or will they come up with a name that both of them will use?

…

In front of Jeff's apartment building, Greg is sitting in a silver Audi and observing building entrance to the underground parking. 'I saw Jeff come inside earlier... probably after work. He should come out when he goes to meet with JoAnna.' Greg assumed that JoAnna is staying somewhere else and that Jeff will go and meet with her, for dinner probably, and then... He didn't want to think about what might happen after dinner between JoAnna and Jeff, especially if two of them are dating. That thought alone enraged him. Greg's plan is that he will follow Jeff to find out where JoAnna is.

Hours passed, and he didn't see Jeff come out. 'Maybe they will not see each other tonight.'

It was after midnight when Greg gave up for the evening. He went to Rebecca's house with intention to come back in front of Jeff's building next day, early morning.

'It's all about patience.' He reminded himself while getting out of garage to Rebecca's house. 'If I'm patient, eventually I will find out where she is.'

"Ah, you are back!" Greg cringed internally when he heard Rebecca's voice as soon as he entered.

He made an effort to smile, it was more difficult than earlier that afternoon since now he was tired and in a bad mood. "How come you are not sleeping? It's late."

"I could not sleep... and I was hoping that you will come back tonight." Rebecca admitted shyly, telling him that she was waiting for him.

"It's been a long day..." He started rejecting her.

"Are you hungry?" Rebecca interrupted.

He was hungry, so he nodded.

Rebecca's face lit up. "I will get the maids to put some food on the table. It will be ready soon."

Greg was happy about food, but not so much that Rebecca is here. 'Why didn't she just go to sleep? Everything would be much more... peaceful.'

While he ate, Rebecca chatted happily, and Greg only nodded or shook his head. He could not even look at her for more than few seconds. She was a woman in mid-forties. Just two years younger than him... How can she compare with a radiant youth that is JoAnna? 'Oh, JoAnna... how I wish to touch you...' Greg smiled as his thoughts drifted away. Rebecca saw him smile and her energy shoot up, thinking that he is smiling because of her. She chatted even more enthusiastically, while Greg didn't even hear her. He was in his own world, imagining JoAnna sitting next to him.

When he finished eating, he stood up.

"Is there something else... you need tonight?" Rebecca asked Greg seductively.

Greg controlled himself not to grimace at her. He found Rebecca disgusting. But he could not reject her bluntly... he still needs Rebecca. To prevent his frown from showing, he faked a yawn. "Rebecca, dear... it's been a long day. I really need some rest."

"Oh, I see..." disappointment could be seen on her face. "Well, good night." She looked at him, still hoping that he will change his mind and spend the night with her.

Greg nodded, "Good night" and headed to his room without looking back.

…

Next morning, Sophia called her sisters, Aiden and Jeff to come for an online meeting.

"Sarah, Aiden... did you do your magic last night?" Sophia asked.

Sarah burst into laugh. "That is a very ambiguous question..."

Sophia rolled her eyes thinking how this sister of hers is getting more and more shameless. "Ambiguous is your mind! You know what I mean... the bank accounts!"

Aiden was very pleased that Sarah called his performance from last night magical. Of course, neither Sarah nor Aiden were thinking about the bank accounts, but what they did in the bedroom after that.

"Done, as planned." Aiden confirmed to Sophia while his gaze didn't leave Sarah who was looking back at him. The electricity between them could almost be seen through the video chat system.

Sophia did her best to stay calm and not to get into an argument with these two hotheads. "Good." She took a deep breath to compose herself. "We filed the paperwork, judge was fast. The police went to arrest Gregory Light, but they didn't find him at home. There is an arrest warrant for him." Sophia gave current updates from her side.

JoAnna was obviously nervous. Jeff hugged her and she leaned onto him.

"Don't be upset that they didn't catch him right away." Sophia encouraged JoAnna. "After all, it's not like he was sitting home, waiting to be arrested. Police is looking for him at spots he usually frequents. Expectation is that he will be found by end of the day. As soon as there are any updates, I will let you know."
