Jorge

*Near midnight. A perfect time for our job. The movements remained the same as last time, just the hacking code we have is different. I was the first one to get through the security guys and turned off the alarm. I searched everywhere, looking for the controller. It was hanging on the wall of the fourth floor. Easy. I climbed up briskly and opened the metal box full of wires and flickering lights.*

J: Guys?

D: ...yeah?

*Diego answered through the hearing aid, breathing heavily. There must have been more bodyguards on the other side of the building who faced my guys.*

J: I'm here

D: Okay, do you remember what you have to do? Because I don't

J: How come, you were supposed to be the on my place now. Just give me a while

*I started the long and difficult process of unplugging and switching, which took less effort than I expected.*

J: Finally, the code.

*I pressed the numbers and waited. Red light. What? I tried the code again but got the same answer. Denied.*

J: Someone remembers the code?

*I muttered in the mic nervously*

R: 67Q5R034W

J: No, that is not the right code, I've already tried it

D: Don't tell me that...

J: No way.

R: Now you know how we felt a few days ago. Now get down, we'll wait for you in the car.

*At least I can watch the scenery before I get down. I looked around and saw a movement nearby. A brunette. I couldn't see her face or body but it surely was a woman. Is she the one who did this to us? I got down and headed to the car. I've made sure everything was okay.*

N: Not today either, huh? I guess we can go back to our old lives and find another target

J: Yeah. Sure.

*Diego pulled off and drove while talking. But I couldn't focus on anything else than the woman. I need to know if it was really her. And who she is.*
