I was reading some paper work Grace wanted me to read over in the study, which was so confusing.
"How did this get past all those employees? My life is such a hassle sometimes." I told myself as I tossed the paper onto the desk so I could take my glasses off and rub my eyes. "My time off doesn't feel like time off."
There was a gentle knock on my door making me tell them to come in as I fixed my glasses to continue work.
"Tyler said I should be able to find you here. The team is going out for dinner and wanted to know if you were able to join." Spencer told as he came over to make sure I was ok.
"I would love to Spence, I would. But I need to get this all done for Grace and Dave. Seems people messed up a bit."
"This to do with your finances?" He asked as he came and sat next to me.
"Partly. My shop is in this as well and what not, which even that I'm not sure on."
"Why aren't you sure on your shop?"
"I've been thinking about selling it and relocate it."
"You love that building though."
"I do. But it just feels weird going back there and working in the same place that Nik murdered Jade."
"How long have you been thinking that?"
"Awhile. I mean I thought I would be able to but then I was held hostage by my brother and now I'm not so sure. I guess once I go home I'll be able to work out."
"Maybe dinner with us will help clear your head a bit."
"Maybe it will. Maybe it won't. Know for sure these papers don't help."
"You know, for all the time I've known you, I have never seen you do paper work like this." He told as he picked on of them up.
"Yeah that's cause I usually do them when no ones around so I don't get bothered as much. No offence."
"Non-taken. Why is there a payment plan being made from your account to another?"
"Payment plan?"
"Yeah. It says right here." He told as he showed it making me move my glasses further up on my face.
"There shouldn't be payment plans. The only payment plan that was created was for my baby cousin when he was going to university, but that stopped the moment he wasn't anymore..... holy shit."
"What?"
"I need to call Grace. Yep, I gotta call her." I stated before getting up and leaving the room.
"River this doesn't make sense."
"Way the world works I guess. TIM!"
"YEAH?!"
"I NEED MY PHONE! WHERE IS IT?"
"THINK ZACK PUT IT ON CHARGE IN HIS ROOM!"
"THANKS!"
"WHY?!"
"663789!"
"SHIT!"
"What's that one for?" Spencer asked as we rushed to Zacks room.
"Breach in the system."
"What system?"
"My financial system. It wasn't flagged so someone has breached it, really gotta get them to work on that before I go home." I told before reaching the door.
"Who would have gotten into your system?"
"Who's on the lamb Spencer?" I asked
"Oh this is bad."
"Yep. Zack you better be decent or what not cause I need my phone!" I told before entering to see he was reading on his bed with his laptop open.
"Everything ok?"
"663789. Wheres my phone?"
"Bedside table."
"What the fuck is 663789?!"
"Breach in the system, Ash. We were all told her set of codes."
"Codes are quick and easy to use. Like if I get kidnapped I can tell them the codes to help find me. I actually did do that when I was held hostage."
"Dude you are friends with some fucken weird people. And I'm friends with hunters and dated one, god his green eyes are my weakness."
"Ashley your a skilled hacker right?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Can you please try and hack my banking shit and what not. The system will hopefully shut the whole thing down if you try and get in."
"Will do. Don't know why I'm doing this, but I guess it gets me out of filming for a wee bit."
"Thank you. Now to call Grace." I told as I dialled her number and put the phone to my ear.
"Hello?"
"Grace...."
"Miss Finley, how do you do? Is the paperwork all done?"
"Nope. 663789."
"Shit. We will shut everything down."
"Is crashing the system good?" Zacks friend asked
"Yes that's a good thing."
"Did you have someone hack into the system?"
"Maybe."
"Well it's worked. I just got an email saying everything is shut down."
"Keep it like that, and have the I Team fix everything and makes sure no one but me, you and Dave can get in from now on. I would not like a repeat of this."
"Of course Miss.Finley. I will get on that right away." She told before hanging up.
"Thanks again Ashley. Have fun with your movie."
"I'll try. Zacks been telling me that hiding in a tree isn't what I should do, but I'm thinking of doing it."
"Do it. The boy causes trouble at functions and never stays the whole time." I told as I began to leave.
"Neither do you!"
"Yeah but your older so your meant to be a role model." I stated before leaving and shutting the door behind me as Spencer held a confused look. "All sorted now. Think I can go for that dinner now with the team."
'This is peculiar.'
