Confused

Chapter 2

I wake and watch the sunrise on the horizon. I hear a knock. Who? I look down to see. Black. He's in a black suit. I watch. He slowly looks up. I hide. I watch Jacob. His eyes widen. Im scared. Nervous. Confused. Why is this happening? I slowly move to look out the window. He's gone. I start to breath again. I slide down further. Jacob moves towards me. I settle.

He slowly pulls me to the bed. Confused. I don't understand. He slowly wraps his arm around me. I calm down. He picks me up and carries me down the steps. I sit in sweatpants and a sweatshirt. I sit at the table. Shit. Someone. I quickly lock doors and windows. Close blinds. He was hidden behind the tree. Why me?

Im restricted. The cast hold me back. Damn. So much pain. So scared. I watch Jacob as he sets food on the table. He's puzzled. He sits and glances past me to the door. A knock. It opens. A tablet rises out of the center. Again. He came back. Silent. He tries to look through windows. Nothing. Gone. I watched as he pulls away. Mad. Angry. He doesn't know. I sit on the edge of the steps.

Red hair. Brown eyes. Changing. I straighten my hair. Makeup. I sit and watch out my window. Beep. What's happening? I watch a tablet come from the wall. Recordings. Me. Jacob. Someone was watching. They saw me hack. Shit. Their after me. Jacob doesn't know how good my hacking skills have become. Worried. He walks in. The tablet disappears.

We kiss. Slowly. He leans in further. I'm up. He lays me on the bed. Next to me. More beeping. I watch it as if it's never before been seen. Agency? Jacob knew. I watch as a women's face appears on the screen. "Listen carefully. Come to this address: 18468 Trenton Ave" she demands. She's gone. I'm in black jeans. Black tank top. Black sweater. Boots. I make a small grimace and stand up.

I watch as the light breaks through the opening. The trees blur by. I look over at Jacob. Calm. Quiet. Once we turn I see nothing. We pull up to a small garage. Pull in. Underground. I watch as lights flash. We stop. Darkness. The lights appear. On. We drive forward. I watch as glass walls come into view. Shocked. So many people. I watch the maps on the screen. I'm shocked by what I get a glimpse of.

The women from the screen. Here. She walks towards me. I feel my hands start to shake. She looks at me "Haley, everything is okay." I turned around and slow my breathing. Pressured. Jacob gives me a look of reassurance. As we walk I look around. Screens. Computers. Tablets. Tvs. So much information. The faces of so many people.

Hacking. A list of things I exceed at. I watch Jacob as he reads the paper. His face. Surprised. No one knew how good my skills had become. A mystery. I slowly sink in my chair. Government. Systems and files that need to be hacked. "Haley, we need your help, both of you" she looks us straight on. We look at each other then back at her. Yes. Hacking. Again. Here goes nothing.
