The Red Room

I was sitting in my small chair, staring at my computer screen while my code was compiling.

The new Linux system upgrade and the code I received from Interpol helped me crack through the building’s system easy as obtaining a bank pin from my home computer.

Piece of cake.

The thought of actually having good food made my stomach growl in hunger as my screen flickered and my whole system almost went off.

I started to type madly on my laptop’s keyboard. The building’s security system tracked my wireless break-in and was now trying to intercept my feed.

They know I’m here

The other people in the waiting room were starting to spare glances at me for my mad keyboarding rush.

Total SNAFU !

I discreetly pulled out my phone and said. “We have a problem, Mr. Black.”

“Very well.” Mr. Black said. “Meet me in the Red Room down the hall and to your left. There will be the proper equipment waiting for you. Tread lightly, you are trapped in the cage of the beast. Now go.”

Click

I made my way to the Red Room.
