He traces the funds that were taken from Prince Maximillian’s accounts and locates the culprit. He retrieves the funds that were disbursed throughout the world and sends a Trojan to bring down the sites.
“Andrei, have the team ready to get to the cybercriminal and terminate. We will not allow them to breath. We can’t risk being exposed.”
“I’m on it.”
The following hours Niko and Andrei clean up the accounts. They terminate all sites that the information was transmitted to and Andrei sends the team to dispose of the cybercriminals.
“The firewall that I installed should be good for a while but we need to get Alastor to reinforce it. I can’t think what went wrong!”
“Yeah, this is crucial to our survival!”
“Now we wait for Ms. Nielsen. I hope she doesn’t arrive late!”
Niko leans back in the black leather chair and crosses his long muscular legs. The shiny black leather shoes tap against the edge of the desk.
Andrei looks at Niko, frowning, shaking his head. “Niko, you need to be nice. She’s a human. She has no idea of the catastrophe that her lack of action caused.”
Niko glares at Andrei; his mint clear green eyes glow and the silver specks flash. He inhales deeply, almost a hiss.
“Andrei, leave us! I will not tolerate you interfering with any disciplinary actions. Go check out the town and tell me if it’s grown. Do not return!”
Andrei squints his eyes, shakes his head, crossing his strong arms. He leans against the door frame, raising his eyebrow.
“I’m heading to the Blue Hell. See ya later. Maybe I’ll find some fairies for you!”
Andrei grins, amused at Niko’s furious glare. He teleports out of the office.
The sun shines brightly, illuminating the day. The stunning autumn colorful leaves fly in the air, falling on the sidewalk. The wind blows rapidly through the town square, cloaking the citizens, and sending a chill up their back as they walk to get to work.
Sofia Rose exits the side street across from the town square, holding her laptop bag in her hand. Her black leather purse swings at her side as she walks down the street and then she takes a step onto the sidewalk of the town square.
Sofia Rose extends her long legs as she takes long strides; the black leather high heels tap on the concrete as she hurries down the walkway to get to the bank.
She pulls her white wool coat closer to her. Her long black hair blows around her. She blinks rapidly, trying to shed the tears that that the air generated, from the red rim of her eyelids. The crystal tears nestle on her thick black lashes, sparkling like diamonds.
The cold air stings her cheeks, turning them bright red, and her lips are slightly dry.
Oh damn, this is not good. I don’t want to look like I’m a wreck. I know that Bartz will be here today. I’m so fucking nervous!
I need to get to the bank before he does. I have to be ready. What the fuck! How in the world did this happened? How did the cybercriminals break through the firewall? The Bartz Bank has the strongest firewall in the industry!
She looks down at the black leather strapped watch. The white crystals around the face shine brightly with the sun’s rays and puckers her full red lips. She looks over at the front of the bank, frowning.
“Damn it! It’s six in the morning and there’s a fucking car parked in front of the bank! Can it really be Mr. Bartz?”
She stops and looks at the car and then at the front of the bank. The lights are turned on and a man walks behind the counter.
Sofia Rose bites her lower lip, groaning.Damn it! It looks like he’s here before I am. Why would anyone be here so damn early? Really?
Sofia Rose starts to walk at a slower pace. Her eyes look at the expensive silver BMW and at the bank windows. Her eyes move rapidly, trying to gather as much information as possible.
Oh fuck! It has to be Mr. Bartz. I’m a bundle of nerves. Fuck! This is hell! I’m going to meet the Bartz CEO and also the man that sets me on fire from across the land. The fucking forces that he emits through the television started this deep throb in my heart, a reverence in my soul, and an aching body that demands to have him near.
Sofia Rose walks across the street and towards the front door. She stops and looks through the glass pane, pursing her lips. Her wide clear violet eyes sparkle, unable to contain her excitement.
I should be worried but I’m not. I didn’t do anything wrong. I’m anxious to meet him, to see if he is my heart’s desire. Can it really be possible that he is? What will happen if he is? I always wondered about this moment.
She takes a deep breath and extends her hand to open the glass door, expecting it to be opened. The door is closed. She bounces into the door, startled, and releases the handle. Her huge clear violet eyes look into the bank’s hallway, biting her lower lip. A soft flush creeps up her neck, spreading over her face.
