I come up to an old hanger outside of the city and knock on the door. The door opened a little, and a harsh male voice asked me.
"Do you have it?"
"Yes," I replied.
The door opened – I come to the middle-aged bald person in a formal suit with five bodyguards in uniform with guns.
"I was waiting for you," he said.
"I have the needed amount," I put money on the table.
An accountant started counting it.
"I saw you streaming," the boss told me, "you played your part just in time. A little longer and the time would be up. Sam Virani...have you weaned off your real name yet?"
I didn't say anything; I was hoping this nightmare will be over soon.
"That's it, boss," said the man that was counting the money.
The boss nodded – one of the bodyguards opened the door and my father that I'd been looking for a long time went out.
"Dad!" I run up to my exhausted, bristly father and hug him.
"Well, the debt has been paid," the boss said, "I'm glad you had a job in DarkHOLEnet. And remember: don't even think about hacking us – your mother decided to play with the wrong people and paid for that. Go!"
It's over! Thank God it's over!
"Let's go, dad," I went out of the hangar.
"Thank you, George," my dad said not without an effort, leaning on my shoulder.
