Katt POV

3 hours. That's all I had. I felt tears on my eyes. I couldn't cry now. Crying is for babies. Get it together. I thought to myself, news running around in my head. I hated having the internet in my head. You, see a lot of kids will love it so they can watch videos online all night, but it makes it impossible to sleep. Which is another thing I don't do. 

I stare at the computer as I take a deep breath and get up from the table with the computer balancing on my arm. Walter had the least amount of feelings in the room, and he will take it better than everybody else. 

I sigh and close the computer. I walk over to Walter and tap him on the shoulder. 

"We need to talk."  I mouth. We walk over to a corner. I hestaintly open the computer and turn it around, and waiting for this reaction, but it never came. 

He nodded. "Okay." His voice was emotionless. 

We walk over to the group and suddenly punches into a wall. I flinch. 

"See what else, we can do, and make it go faster." He told everyone as he walked upstairs.

"What did you show him?!" Paige exclaimed, terrified. 

I take a shaky deep breath. I open the computer and swiftly turn it around to show the team. 

"They sped up the timer." I say. "We have three hours." I was almost shaking, but I didn't show it. 

Paige gasped. Her hand flew to her mouth. I could swear I saw a tear skip down on the poor mother's face. "I'm so sorry." I say in an honest voice, and I rarely say that.

Happy disappeared upstairs, which I don't want to be a part of. Then, something beeped. Oh, shit.  I thought as I put down the computer and run to my computer, and start typing wildly. "No, no, no, no, no , no, no!" I was focused completely on the computer. 

"Uh, what's happening?" Toby asked as they all run to my side. 

"They trying to hack my software, hah sneaky bastards, but that ain't to happen." I say and then stop. 

"Well?" I say. "Get a laptop and help me!" I yell and Sly and Toby rush to get a laptops and help me out. 

And at the same time Walter and Happy come from upstairs, with Walter's knuckles bandages and cleaned.

"What going on?" Walter asks as he rolls up his slevees and walk over to where Toby, Katt, Ralph and Sly are coding.

"Wow, these kids are smart." Toby exclaimed.

"Well, of course they are, I mean those kids are sitting for hours on end at computer hacking into websites, and trying to steal information and also trying to keep the place out of government eyes." Katt said. "So, of course it's going to be complex."

Silence filled the warehouse for the next few minutes of the minutes, only the sounds of the keystrokes on the keyboards that most of the geniuses in the room were trying to work on.

"I got in!" Katt called out. Everyone dropped everything and went over to Katt, who was downloading and looking at a pair of blue prints.

"Why do we need the blue prints?" Toby asked, curious.

"Well, after, years and years and of studying the platform." Katt rushed to her brown leather backpack, grabbed it and dumped everything on the table.

"I thought that I had it in here." Katt mummered, as Paige looked at one of the books that Katt had and noticed a photo was sticking out of it. Paige pulled the photo and saw a girl, around 14 with pretty red hair. 

"Hey Katt?" Paige asked, as I zoom into pages of the notebooks that I had. 

"Yeah." I say blankly. 

"Who is this?" Paige turned the photo around. I looked up quickly and went back to looking but then reality hit me head on. 

I look up again looking at the photo of the redhead. 

I froze

I froze. I quickly grab the photo and the book that was in it in the first place. "Nothing." I quickly said, making sure my voice didn't give any dead give away. I tuck it in the notebook again. 

I spot the notebook and grab it. "Got it!" I say as I run move to the computer and sit down on the chair. I flip the pages of the notebook, and stop at one of the pages. Walter leans over my shoulder and points at the page that I was on. 

"Wait a second, is...is that my  firewall?"

I smirk. "Have you noticed that your computer has been glitchy, Mr. O'Brien?" I turn to Walter who looks at me and we both turn to the screen again. 

"And since I'm the only one who can partly apollumi  this code so-" 

"Your using Walter's coding to help keep the kids coding busy and help you keep control of the site." Ralph finished. I turned to Ralph with a I'm so proud of you kiddo  smile on her face. 

"Yup." Katt turned back to the computer. 

"Wait, so where at you going to get a bomb?" Happy asks. 

I walk to the table where I dumped my stuff and in the pile, pulled out a bomb.

"Woah, Woah, Woah!" Walter exclaimed as Cabe pointed his gun at me. Oh, how much I love when I do this. 

"Okay, how in the world did you hide a bomb in there?" Toby questioned. 

"Simple. It doesn't have an gun powder in it and not fully finished, I'm going to need some spare parts to finish and I also need a timer." I instructed,  as we get right on to work.
