Homesick Hackher

Scolding and a Deep Change

~Flashback continues

The next day father was sitting on the couch in the hall having his morning coffee before heading to work. He almost forgot about the last night until he heard the door creaking of her little girl's room.

"Come here dear cope"said father with a smile turning his head towards the daughter.

Cope silently steps towards the father with her face down and hands back.

"I asked for the result yesterday remember ?" Father added.

Cope was not surprised she knew this is coming.
"Here it is" Cope murmured while leading the hands to the front and handing the result sheet to the father with a frightened look.

Father took the sheet from her girl while putting the coffee cup back on the table.

"Mmm so let's see... Ha... Mmm hmm... Academic C, Helping skills C, Team Work C, Tech Skills B... So you are good at nothing" Father gave her a
Disappointing look.
"I...I tried dad" Cope said breathing heavily in terror.

"You remain the same every year.. No progress.. Nothing! Just lying in a room everyday and every freaking time..!! I don't even know what you do in the room. You gotta move out, make friends. It's the time to know how the world works." Father snapped, standing from the couch and throwing the coffee cup towards the sink.

Cope trembled in fear and shuts her eyes with force as tear drops rolled down from her red eyes to cheek.

Drake realised that he is being too harsh on the girl of eight. He turned towards the cope and got down on knees holding her from the waist with both the hands
"Listen dear, I know you don't like to study... Nobody really does but at least you need friends, I won't be here with you forever" Dad sighed turning his face to the ground.

"Nooooo..!!! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!" Cope screamed while trying to open her eyes.

She found herself tied with a chair in a room with the walls painted dark blue. Her head veins connected with a computer through wires made it difficult for cope to get fully conscious and understand the scene. A man of an average height with a cigar in his mouth moved towards her rolling a butterfly knife.

"Ahh..."Cope groaned struggling with the rope knot on his hand behind the chair.
As the man came closer he removed all the wires from her head and holds her up while grabbing her hair.
"Let Me Go!" She shouted at the man

Cope unbind the knot and move her hands towards the head in pain.

"Why am I here? Who are you?" She cringed.
"I am Barcey, the detective"he said pushing her to the chair.
"Sit down. I am here to find out what you did with the money you stole, Speak up and make it easy"

She adjusted to the chair and looked around to the scene while brushing the hair with a hand. "I am fourteen you really think I robbed it ? And you are not allowed to mess with one's head"

"It's the only way to know the truth but I must admit you got a stubborn brain to hold it hard"barcey said looking at his digital watch.

"It's 2:30 in the morning" she chuckled scratching her neck.

"Wha... How do you know?" He asked widening his eyes.

Cope pointed towards the computer as she stands up and tighten the waist belt to the best.

"But it is not showing any date or time" he said in a confused tone.

"Look again" she crack up.

The monitor's screen got black and the time "2:34" starts blinking with white coloured bold font.
Cope steps towards the man and whispered "Old military base is a great choice to hold someone"

Amazed Mr.Barcey moved back "So you really are what they say Magician.. That's how you stole the money ?" Said Barcey in a hard voice showing her the gun as he starts getting uncomfortable. 

"You are not going to shoot me, are you ?" Cope said turning back to the guy.

"I will if you don't start making sense, start by telling me how you know where we are and what the time is"

"Okay you earned it as we don't have much time together let me tell you a little secret" Cope lifted up her grey tee showing him the belt "You see, this belt is programmed to control electronic devices within the area of 500 meter. So basically i can easily do stuffs with your computer and watch" cope grins.

"Okay it doesn't make sense.. Even if what you say is true how can you possible read the time using a belt. At most you can only manipulate it but to see you need a screen." Barcey said glaring at the belt as sound of screeching tires heard from some distance.

"Holy crap someone is here"

Barcey tighten the grip of the gun and rush to the computer to monitor the CCTVs of outside.

"Time to bid you farewell pal" Cope said winking at him "We might meet again"....
