Chapter 58 - Chat

At the moment, Alicia's movement finally alerted the government and it causes frantic for them. They even had to called in CODE RED seeing the name Xero popped out. It has been a while since the name appear. Last time it appear was few weeks ago. That's when Xero was messing with some insignificant companies. But today, they have no way in telling what this Xero person is up to. The higher ups keep on fussing over their best hacker to track down Xero but it was to no avail. One minute they felt like they found her only to be tracking their own self. It was an embarrassing defeat. Seeing they have been played like a fool by this Xero, the higher up end up calling Googol for help.

Alicia on the other hand had fun laughing at the people who tried to track her down. She wasn't worried about her being tracked down at all because whoever try to track her down they will end up tracking their own trail. It's something that she created and applied on whenever she started her hacking mode. Asides from that, she had the confident no one will be able to notice she was infiltrating some top secret info. She should be grateful that nowadays people treated technology as their second brain. If it was in the past, she probably would have a hard time on obtaining the info that she needed. It will be sweaty and bloody work to do obtain a certain info. But nowadays, with technology dominating the world it was like a breeze for her.

Right now, she was busy copying what she had on The Logan. Of course everyone would know who's The Logan. But what she wanted to know is the dirty secret that they keep hiding. Aside them funding MUTINY for every weapons and other things that they needed, she wanted to know what The Logan would gain from this whole mess. She also infiltrated MUTINY's network to find out more about the deadly weapon that they confiscated. She had a feeling that something was amiss and that is not the only weapon that they have. What she do know is that the weapon is on the same par with nuclear weapon.

It wasn't long until she got hold onto everything that she needed. It was seconds before Tristan entered the house she finally got everything that she needed. Having no time to look through the info, she pack it into one file and hide it within protected system that she created. Unless the person manage to take her highly secured laptop, they probably would be able to find that top secret. Only if they manage to open the laptop though. She have been reconstructing the laptop ever since she got a hold onto it. Not even Uno manage to open the laptop. She was not worried when Master Nil took it away from her. She grinned whenever she remembered how annoyed Master Nil when he realize the situation. No hackers would be willing to give up their own laptop. The same as her. Letting them have the laptop doesn't mean they can simply get any info on it.

"What are you smiling about?" Tristan came around her who was grinning in front of the laptop as her hand speedily dance on the keyboard. Her hand became blurry and he could hardly see what she was typing. It was truly fascinating. Remembering what his grandfather told him, he finally believe what he said was true.

Hearing her husband voice, she looked behind her but her fingers is still flying on the keyboard. She pecked his chin which is the closest to her mouth and smile brightly.

"Nothing. I remember something in the past." She said before tapping the last code on her laptop. After typing the last code, the screen on the laptop immediately turn black but she knows it was doing something within the system. It only seem like the laptop switch off on it's own.

Tristan's eye never left the laptop when it suddenly turn black. He frowned. He looked at his mischievous wife who was grinning widely at him.

"What did you do?" He asked as he squinted his eyes on her.

She gasped in horror.

"How could you say that? I haven't been doing anything since you grounded me at home." She glared at him begrudgingly. He poked her forehead lightly before picking her up to the sofa and place her on his lap. He rubbed her waist gently as if he wanted her to relax with him so they can have a little chat.

"My wife being obedient is something i truly hope for. But unfortunately, the wife that i married isn't the type who would do nothing even though i grounded her." His sarcasm seem to hit the point when he saw her facade collapse.

It's not like Alicia didn't know how to hide the truth. She was brilliant in acting her part. But when she agree to marry Tristan despite the sudden wedding, she decided right then and there that she would not lie to him about anything. The mission back then was something that it's unavoidable. She learnt her lesson to never lie to him again. It was a torture not picking up his calls and her heart felt like it went through the scariest ride. Being in despair but unable to talk it out. Looking at him now while sitting on his lap, she didn't want to go through it anymore. Her life is here. With him. In this humble house. He's her home. The place where she will take off all of her mask and wearing a bare face. Hooking her arms onto his neck, she let her head rest on his broad shoulder. The hands that gently massage her waist seems to be helping her a lot in sorting out the mess in her head. She breathe in deeply taking his manly scent. She loved the freshness that comes out from him despite he just got back from work. It still smells fresh for her.

"You went and talk to your grandfather didn't you?" She asked after several minutes she let the quietness took over. Being a genius, it isn't hard for her to guess the whole thing which is another reason she doesn't want to continue with the farce. It is better to spell it all out.
