More Than This

"Are you sure about this? "Gin asked while carrying the biggest CPU she had ever seen. Arielle just nodded while she had the monitor balancing the keyboard on top.

"What about after you found the papers or proof? You can't publish them, you'd be in jail?" Nora asked not knowing what was going on in Arielle's mind.

"I know what to do, "Arielle didn't give much of a reply while Nora and Gin gave her a pensieve stare.

It had been two weeks since Arielle came up with the plan. Gin spread the word to loyal pages. Gin's page best friend or the first ever Larry page's owner, Bree cried. Bree was 28 and was busy all the time but this time she had collected atleast 55,000 people,  she was the one playing the biggest part. Total they had 58,672 people. They needed a nice amount of people to create internet traffic. There were two ways either have a supercomputer or create traffic and well, Arielle wasn't that rich to afford one and her apartment wasn't a building.

Arielle already had a normal computer but this one was provided by the CBI, it didn't have an ID. Nobody could track it.

They had joined Gin's computer to hold the webinar. The webinar was going to start in 5 minutes and Arielle was shaking, she had not done it since 3 years. Gin and Nora silently hugged her from behind understanding what was happening. The webinar started and almost everyone had joined whether it was miles away or if it was 4 in the morning there and Arielle appreciated each one of them.

It was 11:32 pm in LA too.

Arielle took up the courage and spoke,"I'll get straight to the point. Not really straight but anygays, "everyone chuckled but she continued smiling, "so, as you were informed, I'm gonna try to get into Syco's and Modest's system. I know. I know, the M word but still. And there are two ways to get into a system as big as theirs. Either a supercomputer or internet traffic. Now, I'm not rich as Bill Gates to have a supercomputer but I have a computer without an ID.  And I want you all to create the traffic, "everyone nodded.

"Where did you work? " Arielle turned around to look who asked ,it was Nazz. She knew her, darkest larrie.

"CBI, " Arielle more of murmured but everyone heard was shocked.

"Of? " Nazz again asked.

"Uhmm.. India, "this time everyone's jaw dropped. Everyone knew how well India was in information technology.

"If you do this, I swear to God I'll come and kiss you, " Nazz stated and everyone laughed.

"But I need help. I'll explain it to you without going into technical terms. Anyone who lives in LA? " many of them raised hands, " somewhere near the main office of you know semen and M, " nobody raised this time.

But then Bree said, in a long time, "I live two blocks away from Semen."

"Bree ,would you help me? As I don't have the supercomputer. I can't get into the system without an ID. Companies, as big as theirs , don't have passwords. They have IDs. That maybe floating over the desktop of the security manager. Can you get me that ID? I just need that and a few clicks, we'll be in Syco's system," Arielle pleaded.

"Don't worry. I'll do it. Anything for the boys, "Bree reassured.

"Someone near Modest? You gotta do the same thing? " Arielle was in dilemma, if no one was near Modest's office,they will not be able to get into their system.

Someone as the same name as her said yes. "Bestie, with the same name. Thank you so much,"Arielle was now happy.

" I have something in my mind, "the other Arielle said and wiggled eyebrows.

Arielle just smirked knowing what a Directioner could be up-to and end up in jail. Probably she was going to one to.

"Bree, you're going in first. First you get me the ID. I log into their system I can hold it for 2 hours or less. I give you all an IP address to create a traffic jam. Don't open a new tab during this time,guys. Then, before the time ends for Syco I'll tell you Arielle,  you have to get me the other ID. Keep the IP address of syco in one Device and enter the other IP address in some other device. Remember once the time gets over the IP address will slowly vanish one by one. So whoever's goes first inform me, " Arielle stated, still scared if she would be able to do it.

Hacking for criminals was not this scary, but these are criminals too.

Bree replied an okay and Arielle just nodded. Arielle,on the other hand,  wasn't sure about Bree. Everyone's video was one but Her's was not. She replied short and time to time.

But she let it slip.

"Ready? "she asked.

An spontaneous 'yes' was heard.

Arielle let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.

If I'm louder,would you see me?
Would you lay down in my arms and rescue me?
'Cause we are the same
But when you leave it's gone again
