Chapter 67
Quinn
I drove to Brooklyn’s seaport, while Fleur found his way to Mid–wood. Getting to Brooklyn from Manhattan was at least fifteen minutes and an most one hour depending on the traffic. I just hoped that traffic would be good. The earlier we found the criminal, the better.
1 increased the speed of my car, but not above the speed limit, to avoid being stopped on the road. My phone rang, and I picked it up to check who in was, in Veronica. I ignored the call. I couldn’t switch off the phone because Fleur could call
Traffic was good, only a few cars were on the road. If the criminal was caught, it would definitely lead us to the main perpetrator. I hope Veronica does not have a hand in this, cause if she does, I’ll mun her myself
In less than thirty minutes. I got to the seaport I could see cargoes being loaded to ships and passengers ushered into the ships. Some workers. recognized me and bowed when we had eye contact. They started whispering among themselves
I walked straight to the seaport company. I needed to see the person in charge of the CCTV cameras. I beckoned to a dockworker to come forward.
“Good day Mr. Quinn, how may I help you sir?” He asked, beaming.
“I want to see the Terminal manager 1 sand.
“Okay, he’s on the other dock. If I may ask. is there a problem?” He asked.
“Just call the manager for me.” I said impatiently.
“Alright sir.” He said and hurried away,

I stood there waiting for him, while taking a look at the port. It was quite huge. I wondered if any of the workers could recognize the criminal, and if they placed the CCTV cameras at crucial points
The dockworker appeared with a bald, short, chubby man dressed in a blue suit. When they reached where I stood, he bowed and left.
“Mr. Quinn, to what do we owe this visit of yours?” His said, his eyes gleaming with excitement. I was a shareholder in the seaport company
“There’s a wanted criminal who went out of the country through this port, and he’s back, through it.” I said, going straight to the point,
“A wanted criminal! Oh my! Will the port be closed?” He asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry about the port, it wouldn’t be closed, as you had no idea. I just need your cooperation.” I said.
“Alright sir, go on. I’ll do my best to assist you. He replied.
“Good. I would like to look at the CCTV cameras surrounding the port
“Alright sir, let me take you to the surveillance department.” He said, leading the way.
“And also here is a drawing of the criminal.” I said, showing him the drawing of the criminal whom I had earlier gotten from a forensic artist
“Hmm, seems familar. But I don’t think I’ve seen around here.” He said, stroking his jaw.
“I want you to forward it to the workers on the outside, they might have seen him” Lordered
“Okay str
We got to the seaport company, and he took me to the surveillance department. I could see a large row of computers, with people sitting near them typing and some watching the port.
They noticed our presence, and one of them sto

you know Mr. Quinn. He needs our help. There’s a criminal on the loose, and he left this country and came back through this port.” The manager sand.
“Can I see what he looks like?” He requested.
The manager showed him the drawing
“When did he leave and when did he arrive, sir?” He asked, facing me
“Give me a moment” I said, bringing out my phone. I video called Junior.

“Hey Quinn, any updates?” He asked.
“What’s the date he left the country and when did he come back?” I asked immediately
compuler.
- He paused for a moment, clicking something on his
“He left on the day of the accident, the nineteenth of this month, and came back this week on the twenty seventh” He explained.
Thanks, Stay alert. 111 call again.” I said, but he had already disconnected the call.
“Rude brat” 1 muttered.
“He said on the nineteenth and twenty seventh of this month” I said to him
“Follow me sie. We still have footage files of this month. If he truly sosed this port, we would see him” He said, walking to his desk.
We followed him to his desk and he tranched for the footage files of those days. He clicked furiously on the keyboard and paused, a frown settling
“What’s wrong” Lasked.
The footage has been maligned. A virus has been attached to them, the videos are not playing” He explained.
“What do you mean Does this mean the virus has been attached to all our systems!” The manager askeid. mirking
“No, sir, only on the footage of those days specifically. He wid
“This was done by an amateur hacker, probably new in the business. The virus is low–level, but it still managed to break through the antivirus walls” He explained.
“Does this mean no harm is done?” The manager asked.
“Yes” Silas said, and the manager sighed in relief.
“But the footage has been frozen, if we are unable to remove the virus within five minutes the footage would disappear.” He continued.
The mastermind knew that the footage would be searched for, thus they did this. He said it was an amateur hacker, Junior would probably be able to wipe the virus
1 called him immediately.
“What do you want this time!” He whined.
“The footage has been frozen with a low–level virus. I need you to unfreeze it, the footage would delete after five minutes.”
“Ugh, ask him to set up a modem to establish a connection. I’ll be back.” He said, disconnecting the call
“He said that you should set up a modem.” I said to Silas
“Okay sir, on it”
rtwo minutes. Junior called back.
“Tell him to check the footage, it has been unfroze. Put the phone on loudspeaker, I want to say something to him.” He said.
“He wants to say something to you” I said, putting my phone on loudspeaker.
“It’s indeed the work of an amateur hacker. It’s a Nutpeyta virus, it was able to freeze the footage because you didn’t use the right tool. Apply the McAfee antivirus tool, in case of next time.” His childada voce filled the room as he explained
The people in the room were stunned
“Is that a kid?” Salas asked.
“Yes.” I answered curtly, without bothering to explain anything-
“Check on the footage” I ordered.
He clicked on it, and the footage began playing. They sighed in relief
“Fast forward it to the footage of the boarding station. The manager said.
The footage was fast forwarded to the hoarding station, where the passengers were preparing to enter the ship.

I watched clearly, scanning the screen searching for him. I could see people walking to and fro. Then I noticed a hooded figure leaning on a pole. typing on his phone.
The figure looked up, and I saw those gray eyes, it was him.
