"Ethan was used to hacking into secure systems, but he never expected to accidentally stumble upon a criminal organization that would put his life in danger.Ethan and Lily at their respective homes had both been looking for something to do when Ethan's phone rang.

"Hello?" Ethan answered.

"Is this Ethan?" a voice on the other end of the line asked.

"Yes, who's calling?" Ethan replied.

"My name is Mrs. Johnson. I live in the house across the street from you. I need your help with something," Mrs. Johnson said.

"What do you need help with?" Ethan asked.

"There's been some strange activity in my backyard. I think someone's been sneaking around back there at night. I'm too scared to go outside and look, but I was hoping you could investigate for me," Mrs. Johnson explained.

Ethan was intrigued. He had always loved solving mysteries, and this sounded like the perfect opportunity.

"I'll be right over," Ethan said.

Ethan grabbed his flashlight and headed out the door. Lily lived just down the street from Ethan, so he decided to stop by and see if she wanted to come along.
Ethan is a computer science major who is a skilled hacker and Lily a college student in her 20s is an aspiring actress who is known for her theatrical talent.

"Lily, do you want to come with me to investigate something strange in Mrs. Johnson's backyard?" Ethan asked when he arrived at her house.

"Of course! I'm always up for a good mystery," Lily replied.

The two of them walked over to Mrs. Johnson's house. Mrs. Johnson met them at the door and led them around to the backyard.

"I haven't seen anything myself, but I've heard strange noises at night. I think someone's been digging around back here," Mrs. Johnson said.

Ethan and Lily looked around the backyard. They didn't see anything out of the ordinary at first, but then Ethan noticed something strange.

"Look at this," Ethan said, pointing to a patch of dirt that looked like it had been recently disturbed.

Lily and Mrs. Johnson looked over at the patch of dirt. They could see that it had been dug up recently.

"What do you think it is?" Lily asked.

"I don't know, but I think we should dig a little deeper and see what's down there," Ethan replied.

The three of them started digging. After a few minutes, they uncovered a small metal box.

"What's in it?" Mrs. Johnson asked.

Ethan opened the box and looked inside. There was a piece of paper with a strange sign on it.

"I don't know what it is" replied Lily

But Ethan recognized it in an instant,not leaving his loved ones behind,he takes Lily along and grabs with laptop and makes a run to the countryside.

Before moving ahead he instructs Mrs.Johnson not to move out of her house until necessary and be as cautious as possible
