Chapter 84

The Next Day :

Barron went to school early in the morning, and I went to work by 9 o'clock, hoping that everything will be cleared out.
It was 1 o'clock when it happened.

We were sitting normally, me writing as usual, Hayden, Johnny, Allison, and Rajwan sitting close to me, when Aya and the others came and made the whole place a party.
It was all good, we were laughing and having a good time, until Rajwan's phone rang.

"Hello ?"
He said, as if expecting it to be the police.
It was the police actually, which made his face concerned and hopeful.
"Really ? You did ?"
He asked, his face delighted.
But his expression dropped in a few seconds.

"We found the location of the hacker, but unfortunately we can't arrest him."
The police officer said on the other end.
"Why not ?"

"Because the hacker is not in America, he's in Egypt."
The words hit me like a strike.

In Egypt..?
"Where in Egypt exactly ?"
Rajwan asked.
"In the city Alexandria."
Another strike.

Aya tried to confront me, but she didn't know what was going on.
I didn't tell them.
A few moments later, Rajwan hung up, his face shocked.
"This can't be true.."

He said, slightly defeated.
"Guys, we have to pay..!"
Pamela said, her voice a matter-of-fact.
I nodded at her.
"I'll pay. It should be me anyway."
They started to protest, but I lift up my hand to silence them.

"Adelle, you don't have to, really."
Annie said, muttering.
"Yes, I do."
I replied, and walked outside, mostly waiting for Barron to show up.

He's late.

A few moments later, Millie showed up, realized the ugly truth, and hugged me tightly.
"It's going to be okay, Adelle."
I nodded, hugging her back.

I wish I could believe her.

Barron arrived later, and told me that it was a small problem at school. Nothing to worry about.

The hacker hasn't called, and the police just told us that the hacker is from Egypt. Alexandria specifically.
Can this get any worse ?!

Well, it didn't take much time to prove that it was just the beginning.

The Next Day :

"Guys, it needs an adult to take the money out of the bank."
Rajwan said, sighing exasperatly, sitting on one of the benches.
"What ? Why didn't we think of that ?"
Pamela asked, rubbing her temple as if she was having a headache.

"Well, our mum is in Egypt, and our dad is in France."
Rajwan explained.
Wow, we don't need to remember that.
"Can't you call one of them ?"
Hayden asked.

"Hayden, it's 14 hours by plane from Egypt, and ten hours from France. No way mum or dad is gonna make it in time."
Allison spoke.
"Hold on, I'll talk to her though."

I said, dialing my mum's number and putting the close to my ear.

"Hello ?"
Mum's voice echoed through the phone.
"Hello ? Mum ? I need to talk to you."

I said, leaving the location and walking outside.
