I traced the IP address to here, a abandoned house. But, this is the place if you don't want to be tracked. I walked up the sidewalk and examined what I saw. A house, vines everywhere, almost abandoned for 5 years. Well, let's get this job over with. I kick the door wide open, weird, no dust. Now, I have confirmed that this house isn't abandoned on the inside.

As soon as I got in, I heard rustling. Now we just have to find this kid. First place to check always, the basement. Trust me, you'll always find that one nerdy kid in their mom's basement that has no life. But, first I have to locate the door to the basement. I can't waste that much time or else he could escape. I kept opening doors hard and slamming them shut, you have to make the culprit feel scared and make it as if you are really close to them. While I was looking for more doors to slam I didn't realize that there are camera all over the place. Well, let's give him a sign that I am gonna find him. I slowly raised my middle finger and put it in birds eye view of the camera.

But, I still wasn't able to find the door that led to the basement. Which meant the place had too be boarded off. I start removing carpets off the floor and boom it looks like a outline of a square. I knock twice, it is hallow. But, I had no way of getting in. I run over to the kitchen cupboards knowing that I am running out of time. First cupboard I open, normal kitchens spoons. Second one, there is a crowbar and a credit card. I take the crowbar and decide to look in another cupboard. A gun, knife, and a flashlight. "Shit", I lightly swear under my breath. I guess this kid isn't playing around. I might be up for a challenge. I grab the knife, gun, and flashlight. The gun is already loaded, it seems as if this kid is prepared.

I pry open the trapdoor and with a little budge, it is open. There is a staircase all the way down to the basement, cobwebs everywhere and also the dust was abundant. I equipped myself with the gun and flashlight. Still, every step I took made my heartbeat faster. Soon in my line of sight , I see a empty chair and 6 screens with all the security cameras screens except one of them was replaying the time when I stick my middle finger up. He must've liked it! But, out of nowhere, at the corner of my eye, I see a shovel about to approach my head. It felt like time had slowed down. The only option that I had was to block the shovel from reaching my head. I use my flashlight to absorb all the damage. But, the force of the shovel pulls me back. "Son of a bitch!", I shout. This kid messes with the wrong person. I fire 2 shots from my gun but, it seems like that shovel head is bullet proof. He is using it as a shield. But, I have a secret weapon, the knife. I charge towards him with my knife, I can tell that he is nervous. But, instead of killing him, I kick his hand and the shovel drops. He is currently defenseless. I grab home by the shoulders and put my knife on his neck, not pressing deep enough for blood but, deep enough for him to be scared. "I'll ask you one question, where is the USB?", I whispered in his ear.
