The Hacker Files: Providence

Partners, then?

An office building in San Fransisco was currently holding a very important meeting. It consisted of The Baron, The informant, The agent, The constant and Shawn tied to a chair. Shawn seemed upset... The Constant looked around "May i ask the point of this meeting?" Te Baron put his glasses on and grabbed a piece of paper. He slid it across the table to The Constant. He began reading it

'We know you are a treacherous member, trying to sabotage us and gain control. Unfortunately we know you'd be a horrible leader of Providence. Instead we used a serum to make Sara Rivers our new constant. By the time you finish this text, you're dead.'

The moment he finished the letter hid head was slammed into a pencil holder, the pen going through his skull into his brain. Behind him was Sara wearing a black suit, with the coat on her shoulders. She pushed him off the chair and sat down "Here's the deal. He tried to do an Edwards and failed. I won't." She grabbed a 9mm and held it on the table "I lead providence." The informant looked fuming "SEE WHAT YOU TWO DID?! You just replaced a tyrant with another!" The Baron smiled "No, i believe she's right. Unlike Marc, she'd make a very good lead. Providence isn't about being powerful. It's about keeping the world in balance. She would do that perfectly. That AND she speaks the enemy's language. She knows DedSec like the back of her hand." The Agent nodded "He's onto it. I agree with him." The informant sighed "If we die because of her, the blood is on your hands." The informant had a horseshoe of hair and wore a navy blue suit. He looked 80. The agent looked younger than Sara, so tere must be some good reason why he is a partner. Shawn looked at Sara with rage in his eyes "Sara? What the hell did they do to you?" Sara looked at him "Hey there brother. What's wrong? Scared? Because you fucking should be. I need time to think of a very horrible death for you. I can promise it will be slow. And. Painful." He looked worried "They really did a number on you. You're not Sara." She smiled "Correct. I'm not the innocent, weak, sensitive Sara you remember. I now think with a better a mind, which makes me better ten fold." Shawn sighed "DedSec's doomed... One bad day." She coughed "Two things to be addressed. Vegas and 47. What do we do?" The agent spoke "Vegas is no issue. As long as we don't fuck with Benni, Benni won't fuck with us." The Baron continued "And since Providence has resurfaced i have no idea what 47 is planning next..."

Outside the DedSec hq stood Ethan and Artemis "Okay Ethan, we might be dealing with a man who took down Providence, several crime syndicates, the fbi, ica and everything in between. I hope we don't fuck this up. That's why i only took you. You're sensible ebough to not get us killed. He said he's at a café around the corner. A walk distance." The two began walking. Ethan tried striking converstation "So, how's it going with Sam?" She shrugged "Perfect. She makes me feel happy, i make her feel happy, win win." She smiled a bit. It's easy to recognize love when a girl with issues on emotions smiles just talking about her significant other. Ethan smiled "Good to know my daughter has such a good partner." Artemis chuckled "I don't even know of i could call myself good... I have mental breakdowns every other day, but some reason it makes her even more attached." Ethan patted her shoulder "No shame in it. Sara was just like that when we retired. Eventually she got much more upbeat and happy. A shame she runs providence now..." Artemis looked at him "Don't worry. We'll get her back." They arrived at the café. They saw a man drinking coffee on th eporch area. He was bald, looked middle aged, strongest jaw on earth, black suit with a  red tie and had a barcode on the back of his head. His eyes always looked like he was ready to kill. Artemis has seen 47 once before. Someone put a hit on him and in her pride she took the offer. Instead of succeeding, 47 didn't kill her, but instead helped her become better and explained in detail how to get away from the ica. She thought of him as a mentor. She approached him "Nice to see you again." 47 looked up. He spoke in his very recognizable voice "Harder to kill than a cockroach. How the hell did you survive?" She frowned a bit "I didn't." She sat down and shook his hand. His eyes turned into realization as if he just realized something. Ethan sat down as well "No offense, you have an intimidating aura Mr. 47." He smirked "I can see why." He had his serious look again "The thing is we have a common enemy. I defeated them once, but they are back. I'm ready to take them down again. I'd see it as an easy operation." He put 2 earpieces on the table "Put them on." Ethan and Artemis put the earpieces on and heard a british woman speak "Hello Miss Black, hello Mr. Rivers. My name is Diana Burnwood. You probably don't know me, but i helped 47 take down Providence. I planned, he executed. I am also apart of this. I am currently in your apartment Mr. Rivers. I must say, Q's cats are rather calm about strangers." Ethan looked worried How did you get in?" 47 spoke "Don't question it. And i bet no cameras spotted her either." Diana sounded amused "No, they didn't. Either way, we are here to help. Providence is an enely we need to dispose. You 3 come to hq, i'll explain my plan. I'm eager to finally meet you Ms. Black. You are the only competition to 47 in the world."
