“Whoa, this is the first time you’re asking me for something What do you want me to do for you! Tell me and it will be done. If it’s within my power anvicas” He said with a unisk.
“You always say you’re good at hacking things, how about you show me how good you are?” I asked and he squinted his eyes at me

the CCTV cameras of a street in some areas of the city for me. I continued but Fleur cut me short.
“Okay what is going on here! I think I’m lost.”
We both ignored him, looking into each other’s eyes with both hope and expectation.
“Do you believe I can do it? Junior asked out of the blue.
“Uh– yes, yes I do. I believe you can do whatever you set your mind to” I said but he frowned at me
“I didn’t ask for a motivational quote, I asked if you believe I can do it” He retoried and I answered courteously
“Sure Junior, I believe you can do it. Now, let’s hack this baby? I said enthusiastically and he walked to his workstation with squared shoulders. Junior began to tap the keys on his keyboard with a straight face. He looked more serious than I had ever seen him since I got to know him.
His fingers tapped the keys faster than I could type my documents
Fleur stared in awe at his unwavering focus and determination.
He asked for the name of the street and I told him, it was the street where Grandma Mira had an accident.
I wanted to trace the root of the accident and find out what happened. I couldn’t trust Veronica blindly anymore and I had to be sure that I wasn’t dining with the devil
Although, she said that she wasn’t going to plan any evil against Ana or her family any more, I couldn’t trust her words. I couldn’t trust the words of someone who lied to me and told me that she didn’t do anything until I told her what she did, down to the color of the disguise her bug wore to Ana’s house
I had a feeling that the accident wasn’t ordinary but I didn’t want to bring it up yet until I’ve found solid evidence to lay claim.
Fleur didn’t know about this plan
plan of mine yet so
so he
just wondered what I was doing
“Gotcha!” Junior squealed with excitement and shifted the device to my side.
“You did it chap,” I said with a proud smile.
“I got in. What date do you want to check?” He asked and I told him the date. He began tapping on the keypad again but this time around, it took Jess time
“Check this out” He said playing a video with Grandina Mira trying to cross to the other side of the road. A driver ran past the traffic light that was on red and hit her at speed. What saved her was, she fell on the fresh tomatoes she bought so she didn’t sustain much bruise.
“It was intentional Was my thoughts but I didn’t k
“Yup, Junior replied, shaking his head sideways..
know that I said it out loud.
“Wait, isn’t that Grandina Mira?” Fleur asked, finally catching on track.
“Mice one Fleur, 1ook you so long? My gaze was still on the computer as I spoke.
Junior checked another video from the CCTV camera from another angle and paused it when it showed the driver’s face.
“Smart kid” I praised.
“Can you get any details on him?” I asked and he pouted
“Tm not FBI but I see what I can do” After a few minutes, he found his details and social media account.
1 was elated by the progress we’ve made. Who would’ve thought that my mischievous cousin would help me one day! Such is life.
“Thank you, child, you’ve been most helpful,” I said and he furrowed his brow.

Im not going to

you for my pay” He folded his hands,

“I thought you said you were going to help me. You didn’t say anything about any pay.” I argued but he smiled.
“Well, that’s because I wanted to do the work first before Lask for pay. And now that I have done the job, you’ll do what I ask also. He said, not like a request but an order

Fleur shook his head but didn’t say a word so that he wouldn’t be dragged into it
“Okay, fine, What is it you want me to pay you with?” I asked, seeing that he hadn’t called an unreasonable amount of money yet, it meant that he wanted me to pay him some other way
He wouldn’t ask for money, his parents had lots of it. He might ask for a share in any company or something scary.
Esther way, I was scared of his request.
“I want you and that man that came to my school with Moon to take us out again, for a whole day”
I hoped he didn’t mean he wanted the four of us to go out again.
“And by the two of us, you mean you and Moon! Lasked and he nodded with satisfaction,
“That’s not possible chap, I’m sorry. I can take you out and Fleur can even tag along, but bringing Terry and Moon‘ that’s out of my power kiddo.” I explained plainly but he just folded his hands with a stiff expression.
“I guess I should go report to the police that you told me to hack into the CCTV cameras in some streets and disclose your identity. It would make a catchy headline” He stroked his jaw with his fingers as he spoke.
1 groaned
Inwardly. There’s nothing pure about this kid. He always has a motive behind everything
He had no idea that I wasn’t in talking terms with Ana, Moon’s mom and Terry and I were sworn enemies, or he knew and just wanted to make life difficult for me.
Ana would never agree to let me lake Moon out but I had to tr
to try else my name would be all over the media in a bad light, courtesy of the little devil. “Fine. I’ll get you what you want. But first, let’s finish this. Run a background check on him. I want to know where he is and what he’s been up to 1 said and he happily tapped on the computer.
He escaped prison the week of the accident. Seems like someone
ne from the inside helped him our
“Wow, he escaped prison to commit another crime? Bold of him. I remarked
“Where is he now!” Fleur asked impatiently.
“Calm down attaboy, he left the country after the accident with the help of someone but returned by sea last week. He’s been on the low, hiding from the police as well but I believe that someone has been taking care of him, his spontaneous trips and everything.” Junior said, looking at the
Screen
“Can you find out who his source is?” I asked but he shook his head.
“It’s going to be hard, they kept their conversations as secret as possible plus the source a always sends people to deliver messages to him and never
shows his face. That’s a smart move.” He said and I hissed
We’ve taken enough time here and it was time to leave, I’d continue the search and try to trace him on my own.
Despite his smartness, Junior was still a kid and I didn’t want to get him involved with a boniness that wasn’t his. I don’t know how his mom would react if the knew that Lasked her son to hack some CCTV cameras and run a background check on someone.
“That’s it chap, thanks for today? I said, tapping his shoulder but he looked at me confused
“Why are you thanking met It’s not free and you have from now till next weekend or your name will be everywhere in the news” He finished with a ammale after letting me know the implications.
“Oh please, get over yourself,” Fleur said, tired of has manipulations but he turned and smiled at Fleur
“Why don’t you come and try out my latest invention hud” He asked Fleur who walked briskly, away from the room
“Are you leaving already Lunch or dinner is almost

“Uhh, don’t worry sis, we need to be somewhere else now” I replied and pulled Fleur away.

“What do you plan to do when you find him?” Fleur asked when we got back to the car.
