The 4th Subject

Chapter 20: When will this Day End?

Matt, Woods and I sat there, staring at the screen.

What was a directory ID?

Matt tried Syntec, Syphus590, and Tanner's mom. Surprisingly, none of those worked. I really thought that last one would've worked, but alas, nothing.

"I feel like we're getting so close," Matt cried, frustrated.

"Well," I started, "we've accomplished so much today, so..."

"Yeah, I feel like it's been a week." Woods agreed.

"I know," Matt said, "but you get a high from solving things, bro."

Matt started mumbling and spitting out words and incomplete sentences, then he paused.

"I'm tired."

My stomach grumbled loudly.

"I'm starving." I interjected.

Matt chuckled, then said, "We should go through the evidence and see if anything spawns anything."

"Let's ask the viewers, too." I proposed, "Maybe see if they have any ideas."

He nodded in agreement.

"We've got a lot of documents and information, so let's throw it out to the viewers." Woods said.

"But first, food." I declared, carefully squeezing past Woods and starting up the ladder. Matt and Woods let out a laugh.

I reached the top of the ladder and grabbed the camera from Woods so he could get up. Once he joined me on the top stair, I passed him the camera and started down. Matt and CJ joined us as we walked into the common area.

"What do you guys want to get?" Matt asked.

"Literally anything," I announced as I flopped onto the couch. The guys laughed again as I rolled off the couch and sat on the floor.

"You have the whole couch and you sit on the floor?" CJ questioned.

"Sue me."

Woods chuckled and picked up a pillow, smacking me in the face as he sat down. I scoffed and grabbed the pillow behind me.

"This is war, Demars." I lunged at him with the pillow perfectly positioned to snuff him out. He started swinging his pillow around, unable to see where I was. He managed to hit me, causing me to pull back. We started swinging the pillows at each other like madmen. Matt laughed as he walked to the door.

"Are we getting food or not?"

I quickly dropped my pillow on the couch and hopped over to Matt.

"Food!"

Woods dropped his pillow and joined us as we walked over to Matt's car. We decided on Red Robin's since that was pretty basic. We went, got our food, and came back. As we ate, we discussed what our next steps should be.

We decided to go back through the evidence and ask the viewers if they had ideas. We sat down at Megadesk and Matt pulled up YouTube. He paused for a moment and muttered, "What should I say?" under his breath, then began typing. We he finished, he read it back to us.

"We found what the username Syphus590 goes to, we got access and now it's asking for us to 'input Directory ID'.  Any ideas? Honestly, we have no idea but I'm a little impatient to finally understand. Help! What is the Directory ID?"

Once he posted it, I did the same on my Instagram. I figured it might be faster, plus the more suggestions, the better. After I finished, we went up to the vault to look through the evidence for the millionth time. Matt had one of his clear, book sized water bottles in hand.
