"We have a case!" Cabe's voice filled the silent garage. He was followed by Deputy Director of National Security, Katherine Cooper and Mark Willis, representative of The Intelligence Center.
"What is he doing here?" Toby asked as he approached.
"The CIA again?" Sylvester dropped the pencils he was ordering when he saw the man, immediately recognizing him, though for the first time he had only been able to see him for a second by the camera of the jet he had hacked.
"I see you already know each other," Katherine said, noticing how the genii were watching the CIA man. "Mr. Curtis!" "Take that look off," he added as he watched Toby glance over at Willis with narrowed eyes.
"It is very inconsiderate of you to ask for help after you tried to eliminate us." He ignored the woman's request and only spoke to the man. "What do you want this time? Did you miss another of your ultra-secret planes?"
"Toby!" Paige warned that she had just come down with Walter, was glad she had gone down in time to stop the genius from talking; Lately the psychologist was more extroverted and hyperactive than usual, before he talked too much, but the last few days had been dedicated to psychoanalyzing any small action of his colleagues, he had spent two hours explaining to Paige why she unconsciously chose clothes According to his state of mind, Toby psychoanalyzed Tim, Cabe, and Sylvester, but Walter was clever enough to get rid of gratuitous and involuntary therapy sessions; Even the geniuses realized that Toby's act was a way of distracting himself from his concern for Happy's unexpected departure, and no one had refused his time on the couch.
"The intelligence center has a little problem in its area of technological development" for nobody went unnoticed by the slight burlesque tone in the voice of the deputy director. National Security has decided to support the CIA through the services of Scorpion.
"How fortunate!" Toby cried.
"Because of previous interactions," continued the woman, "my presence will be mandatory throughout the entire mission to prevent certain events from recurring".
"Only if we accept the case".
"The payment will be in cash," said Willis for the first time. "As a multidisciplinary team they can approach the issue from different points of view, something that has helped them in other cases. In addition National security guarantees its discretion and efficiency".
"How much would the payment be?" They all turned in surprise; Sylvester had asked the question, they could expect that question from Toby and even Walter, but never from him.
"A million dollars."
"No no no !" Toby said. "The last time we worked with the CIA they locked us up and almost killed us" because we knew too much. "He gestured with his fingers to emphasize the last words "and when they offered us a million dollars tax-free we ended up locked up in an underground bunker and they threw us a missile ... a missile!"
"Long story," Walter said to no one in particular.
"Okay come on, what is the worst that can happen?" Paige said, and seeing that Toby was going to respond, he added "Do not answer," Walter said. Once Tim joined the team, Katherine started explaining the case.
"Yesterday at 3 am the CIA was the victim of a massive cyber attack on the premises of area 51" Willis began to teach them, on the screen, a map of the facilities "this would not normally be a big problem, we have powerful firewalls and several people working day and night to reject any kind of system attack".
"Let me guess!" Toby cried. "Something failed last night.
"Exactly 2 seconds before the massive attack there was a system error in one area," said Sylvester, who had entered the CIA system in seconds, but only as an ordinary user with no credentials, only had access to basic information, But still Sylvester surprised the man, only a few people in the world were able to access with such ease, yet none had advanced beyond "his backup system took exactly five seconds to activate, leaving the system unprotected to attack during three seconds"
