Chapter 83

"What ? I leave for 30 minutes and I miss everything !
I said sarcastically, mostly angry.
"Adelle, he wants one million dollars and that's what you think of..?"
Hayden replied sassily, rather confused.

"What the heck happened ?! I left because I had to ! What made you contact the hacker ?"
I exclaimed, standing up.
"I said that the hacker called. We didn't do anything !"

I rolled my eyes at Johnny.
"Whatever, just tell me what happened."
"Well, as soon as you left, Rajwan started searching on how to get our data back, then the hacker called and said that he wants to get one million dollars, and if he doesn't get it in three days, he'll post everything online."

Pamela explained as Hamdy walked to her side.
"We have to tell the Internet Police."
Allison suggested.
"She's right ! Contact them right now."
Rajwan dialed a few numbers on his phone, and put it close to his ear, listening.

"Hello, Internet Police ? I'd like to report something that happened on our laptop. I was googling something, and accidentally opened a website that somehow hacked into my laptop's data and encrypted it.."

I didn't hear the rest, because I sank into my thoughts, holding Barron's soft hand as if it was a way to tell me that everything is going to be alright.
He gave me a side smile, squeezing my hand in return.

"It's going to be fine."
He reassured.
How can someone be so comforting ?
I wondered, but quickly snapped out of it because I saw Rajwan ending the phone call.
"They said they'll track the hacker down, and If he's in America they'll arrest him."

I nodded.

"Now all we have to do is wait."
Hayden said, sitting down across from us.

2 Hours Later :

We've been sitting quietly for the past two hours, literally doing nothing.
Then Pamela decided that our time was wasted for nothing, because neither the hacker nor the police called.

I have to admit, she was right. It was a total waste of time. Internet Police probably found another case and got distracted, so there was no point in waiting for them.

And we all decided to go home.

..

"Barron, why don't you stay the night with us ? We have a few extra rooms."
He agreed, because he was still upset about his mother not showing up at the school that afternoon.

But he texted her anyway, and explained the situation to her.
She didn't see the message, of course, but he took it as a yes.

We had so much fun that night, me and Barron stayed till 10 o'clock talking, and laughing, then I told him that he should go to bed and have some rest, because of his headache, and I went to bed too after.

I didn't sleep right away though. I was thinking about what happened today, with everything.

But then I had to wake Barron every few hours to make sure he was okay, because of the concussion. Can this situation get any worse ?

How could I have known that the next day would be much worse ?
I had no way of knowing. Unfortunately.

To Be Continued..
