(For the record, although this episode resembles Season 3, Ep. 3 "The Haunted Bayou Caper", I intend on making that episode some sort of Part 2 for this, except with Player. 

This is pretty much a separate episode from that. That being said, enjoy!

BTW, if any words are in bold, imagine it in Korean. It won't be used very often but I thought it would be a special touch.

Also, italics in the actual story would usually mean dialogue through the phone or a device.)


So within the past 10 hours, I've been running along the streets of Dubai, trying to prevent a major digital robbery headed by a literal internet troll.

Mind you that this was meant to be a 'break'.

Ok. If his robbery was digital, why was I running? 

Because I had left my laptop at the airport.

===============

Flashback to 10 hours ago

What was I doing now? Frantically sprinting to the Dubai airport lost-and-found in presumably the most 'kdrama-like' fashion ever, like I just lost my soulmate or something.

Player sent me the files he found on the assignment, but sadly not really much was found, just the location and how it was to be done.

Fortunately, whoever was supposed to take on this caper was supposed to nab at least half of the bank's assets, and devise some way to make it look like nothing was stolen, and that it was likely some glitch in the system.

Adding all that up, that's about 32 billion dollars  profit if they took half . 

Luckily, that is exactly my specialty.

Clutching my laptop close to my heart for a few seconds, I hopped in a cab to take me back to my hotel.

As soon as I arrived, I pulled up the encrytion on The Troll's computer set-up.

There was a few ways I could deal with this, and the first way I thought of, and the easiest, started with hacking into his computer and taking control of it.

It's not the first time I've done it.

Typing in the various decryption keys, I was met with an all too familiar logo.

Met with his irritatingly cocky voice, my hopeful prayers went aflight.

"Trying to hack into my set, are we, Agent V?" 

"No, I was ordering pizza for myself and accidently decrypted your device."

My stone-cold expression remained, contrasting his infamous cocky smirk.

"I'll give you credit for trying, but all in all, you were caught. Better luck next time."

He may act all cocky now, but it'll be over once he realises that I wanted  to get caught.

The things is, me getting caught was a part of my distraction.

Along with me placing a small, yet annoying virus on his very expensive set up.

While he blabbed and 'scolded' me about downloading a virus on his thing, I would be over here buffing up the digital safety of the bank.

It's that simple.

You may think he wouldn't fall for a distraction like this, but as long as it has something to do with his little gadgets, it can keep him busy for hours on end.

And with him noticing the virus, my plan went to work exactly as I expected it to.

I buffed up the security of the said bank, along with any other banks on VILE's 'rob list'.

For a little extra precaution, I connected the technical and digital security system to me and Player's phones, so we can be alarmed if any other VILE hackers, if there are any, tried to carry on with the plan.

Yep. The 'Troll' was mad.

I am kinda worried on how I would explain this to VILE without receiving an earful, but that would have to be taken care of another time.

=====================

Present. About 3 hours after the thing with Troll.

When I said, 'ten hours ago' I exaggerated.

It didn't take me anywhere near 10 hours to deal with my classmate, which I'm relieved for.

I spent the last few hours occupied with spilling everything to Zack, Ivy, and Player, finding out that the Magna Cartas were safe, and catching up on a few episodes of Business Proposal while slurping on some instant ramen.

I had a few more days to spend on my trip here, while Carmen went on a solo-trip to San Francisco.

Guess the real 'vacay' starts...tomorrow.

There is nothing I want more in this world right now than to sleep, and that's exactly what I'm going to do.

=====================

Okie. It's not that good, but at least it's an update?

The next chapter I plan on making some sort of filler with Y/N whle she's in Dubai.

Have a nice day!
