The next day, Lyndsey gave me the card she was talking about. It had a tribal logo on it.

"Did you notice anything else about the creep?" I asked her. She thought about it for a moment.

"Well.I not sure but....."

"But what?"

"I think he might've dropped something more than this card. A photo." She put her hand in her purse, took a photo out and gave it to me. It was Ali's photo. She looked very pretty in it. It had a number on the back.The number: 1412. What did it mean? Was is a date or a code for something?

When I asked Lyndsey about it, she shrugged and walked away.

The second I got home, I googled the logo on the card. The logo was marketing company's logo. The company's name was 'Wade Sales'.

I looked at the card closely. It had the name 'Dylan Adamson' on it. Maybe, it was the creep's name.

I decided to bunk school today and go to Wade Sales.

When I reached the receptionist, I said,"Hi. I am looking for Mr.Dylan Adamson."

"I am sorry ma'am Mr.Adamson has not come for work today." She said.

"Oh. Do you have an address I could meet him at?"

"I'm sorry ma'am that information is confidential"

"Please, I need it urgently." She gave me a death glare which clearly gave the answer to my question.

I was just about to leave,when the mean reception lady walked towards the elevator. I quickly started looking through her stuff to find some information about this 'Dylan Adamson'. I found a pen-drive with the label- Employee files: Dylan Adamson on it. I quickly put the pen-drive in my bag and ran out of the place before anyone saw me.

As soon as I got home I put the pendrive in my laptop. Damn it!! It needed a password. That's when I remembered the number on the back of Alison's photo. I tried it, but it didn't work. I tried the company's name too, but it didn't work either.

Now my only hope was my computer geek classmate: Charlie Wyatt. He is the only one who can crack the computer's code.

So the next day, I met him in the cafeteria.

After I asked him for his help he said,"Where exactly did you get this pen-drive?"

I crossed my arms over my chest. "That's none of your business...Can you figure out the password or not?"

"Chill out. I can, but what's in it for me?" I took a $10 note out of my pocket and gave it to him. He didn't take it.

"Do you think a computer genius like me would do something for a girl like you only for money."

"Then what do you want?"

"You be my date for prom"

I gave him a stern look. "Don't push it."

"Fine. I thought I'd try my luck. You'll get your password tomorrow."

"No! You will crack the code in front of my eyes.

"Fine, whatever.I'll come by your house after school." I nodded and walked away.
