"Thank you." said Z, smiling at me. "S please, show our new member the technician group and the agency."

"Yes, sir," said S, then we both stood up and left the office.

We went downstairs and into the basement, where we came up to a metal door. He knocked on it, then opened it and we went into a small room which had more computers than the whole agency.

"Ian?" shouted S, but there was no response. "Ashley?" still nothing then S turned to me. "Okay, let's just pretend that you didn't hear this," I was a bit confused as S turned back and talked to the empty room. "Guys, I know you're here, so stop making out and get over here, because I have a guest."

Soon a man and a woman came out of the darkness, from behind a computer. The man wore a black T-shirt with a green checked shirt over it, but it was half on his shoulders. He quickly fixed it and his glasses on his nose, when he spotted me beside S. The woman wore a pink T-shirt with shorts and she also had glasses. Both of them had dark brown hair, but the man's was short and the woman's was in a slightly loose ponytail.

"Sorry S," said the man and smiled nervously fixing his clothes and hair. "We were... just... discussing some... sort of... electronic things."

"Sure," said S with a chuckle then he placed a hand on my left shoulder "Anyway, this here is the agency's new member, Jack."

"Hi," I said, waving to them, then they waved back.

"Hi, I'm Ian and she is... my... uhm colleague, Ashley." said the man.

"Hi." waved the woman as well. "Please, don't be mad at me, but how old are you?"

"I'm 15," I said proudly and they looked at each other then back at me.

"So, how did you get in?" asked Ian confused.

"He hacked us. He broke through your defense system," said S and I was so nervous because they would probably be angry at me and hate me for this.

"Really? Then we need to rebuild it," said Ian with wide eyes and I wasn't expecting this kind of reaction from him.

"No, your system is really good, seriously. It took me 20 minutes to break in." I said and both Ashley and Ian looked at me.

"Yeah, it's not the system's fault, he is too good,"  said S, patting my shoulder.

"No, I'm not that good."

"Let's find it out," said Ashley, then she winked at Ian.

"Here is a computer. Your task is to shut down the electricity in the basement and the male restroom," said Ian as he walked me up to a computer and signed to the keyboard in front of me.

"Is that it?" I was confused. It can't be this easy, probably there is a twist in it, but I stepped closer to the computer.

"Wait." Ian stopped me. "I'm measuring the time."

He looked at his watch then back up at me waiting for me. I cleared my mind and took a deep breath before I nodded, signaling that I was ready.

"Ready. Set. Go!"

I quickly typed codes and names in a program to order the system to shut down the electricity. Then I typed in the name of the area, where it should do its task. I then pressed enter and it immediately went off. Ian stopped the timer and when I turned around, looking at him, he looked at me with wide eyes.

"15 seconds! 15 seconds, oh my God!" said Ian, turning his watch to Ashley then to S. "Holy shit, you were right, he is really good."

"No, I'm just..."
