"The sleepy head finally rises."
There was a sarcastic smile on Borgina's face that made Nathan want to punch her in the face. Unfortunately, she was completely virtual and he couldn't do that.
"Let me guess. You're thinking of developing a virtual arm in here so you can punch me whenever you please." Borgina continued, forcing Nathan to laugh.
"Doesn't it feel great to see the future?" Nathan taunted.
Borgina rolled her eyes. She was about to say something else when an alert system on the computer began to change its colors rapidly.
"Yee-ha! We have a match, Borgina."
An excited Nathan ran his fingers across the screen. He couldn't wait to see what his spyware had discovered. Hopefully, it would be something major. Maybe he could figure out why Becky was killed. His excitement level spiked with every passing second and his eyes remained glued to the screen.
"Who's the brightest computer scientist of all time?" Borgina asked, beaming with a smile.
"That's right, Borgina. Tell them."
Borgina laughed.
