"All right, so far everything is looking good, " Jason said, typing quickly on the laptop, different figures are appearing on it, ones that I don't understand, but I'm guess that'd all part of the code?
"This organisation is no joke, hah!" Jason scoffed with a smile. " It it seems you have to pass a number of tasks to get pass the firewall. " He stopped typing looking a little troubled.
" What do you mean by that?" Leah asked, confused.
"They set different password for each level entry. It's one of the ways most programmers used to safe guard important files. So even if by chance, you get the password and your able to open it, you'll be met by another firewall. One wrong move has the chance of blocking you from further entry. It's like a safe guard against foreign invaders like us." He explained taking a sip of his banana milkshake through the straws.
"So in other words, we just have to crack them down one at a time, right?" I asked, biting off a piece of the chocolate chip cookies that was set on the table.
"Technically. " Jason said, a bit unsure. "But there's a chance that it might have a set time." We fell in deep thought.
"Alryt!" Leah exclaimed looking at us, "there's no need for us to worry about that right now, we just started you know! So let's take the bull by its horn and huddle start at it!"
Jason and I both looked at each other, nodded and faced Leah with smiles.
"Your right. " Jason said.
"Let's do it." I chipped in too. Leah smiled confidently at us.
"Hmmm,... the first clue seems to be on a painting. " Jason said after looking at the laptop. "Let me search it on the Internet, I don't think I know this painting. " He said, making both leah and I turn our attention to the screen.
"OK, here it is. 'AMORE' a landscape painting in the late 19s, painted by **** His last art with drew alot of attention despite not seeing the light of day and not many people have seen it. He painted it in memory of the love he felt for nature. The painting is said to cost millions of dollars. It was bought by Madam Éclair, an art collector, a rich one at that, and has only been seen ones by quite a few number of individuals ever since during her art exhibition, but even that, it is invite only." Jason Read out.
(All events, happenings, names and places are fictitious.)
"Does it say when next she will be having an exhibition?" I asked.
"Let me see..." Jason replied, browsing the word 'Madam Éclair' " Got it!" He exclaimed after a while. "She's having an exhibition the middle of next month, it's says 'AMORE' will be the main highlight of the show on that day. But like I said before, invite only." Jason flopped back on the couch, seemingly looking defeated making me sigh.
"Why are you both looking like we have all ready lost the war when we haven't even started the battle yet lost?" Leah asked, looking at our expressions.
Jason faced Leah and said, " Leah, I all ready told you it is invite only."
"So?" Leah continued, being oblivious.
"It means we can't get in unless we have an invite Leah. " I tried to explain it to her.
"Ya, I know. That's why I'm asking, why are you both looking defeated?" Leah asked yet again. 'Did something happen to her brain while she was away?' I thought to myself, looking at her as if she was stupid, 'sorry ', along side Jason.
"Ahh!" Leah exclaimed, she seems to have realised something. Then laughed out loud. 'Is there something happening that is funny?' I thought to myself more puzzled. Just as I was about to asked Leah to stop playing around the Bush, she said.
"Did you guys forgot that my father is in charge of anything related to arts in this Country? The Minister of Arts?" She bloated out, looking proud.
"Umm yeah, but how is that in anyway helpful?" Jason asked, more confused than ever.
"Ohh My Goodness, Jason!" Leah yelled slightly with a smile while we both looked at her like someone who had now gone crazy. " Sigh, as long as any art that is well known is being exhibited in this Country, my dad has to be informed about it. Which means that he can easily get an invite to that event!" 'Ahh, I get it now.'
"Woow! That's amazing Leah!" Jason said, smiling along with her.
"Do you think you can ask your father for the invite too?" I asked, that's the only way this can happen.
"Of course Darling, are you forgetting who your talking to?" Leah said with sass, looking all smug.
"OK. We're going to trust you on this." I told her, knowing her capabilities.
"But,..." Jason suddenly said, making us turn to his direction. "If you get the invite, it means that your going to be the one in charge of getting the password. " He looked at Leah seriously, "Do you think you can do it?"
"Hahaha..." Leah exclaimed hysterically. "I think you both have forgotten what I am capable of, right?" Her eyes are basically twinkling right now. She then left to go and settle the bills, of course we can't let Aunt Rosie take to pay for them, after all we did ordered alot.
"Hhhh, don't worry. " I told Jason. "She got it." 'One thing I'm sure about Leah is that you should never underestimate her, she always has something up her sleeve'.
"Are you sure?" Jason asked, still sceptical.
"Yes!" I said firmly.
"At least given a reason. I'm not doubting Leah's capabilities or anything. I just need a reason to hold up to." Jason said, looking at me.
"Hmm..." I made myself look like I was thinking of what to say and smiled back at Leah who was smilingat us from the counter, "...because when things have to do with spying and acting, Leah is the best at it." I looked back at Jason, looking determined.
"OK, I'll trust you both then, seeing how confident you are." Jason said, then Leah came over and informed us that everything was done and we left after saying goodbye to Aunt Rosie.
'We are finally going to take our first step into uncovering this mystery. ' I smiled as I thought about this.
