Love's Deception

Chapter 30 - Hacker

There comes a time in your life where you know it's time to do something. A time where you realize that everything has been leading up to this moment, and if you don't seize it, you'll miss it. And missing it can only make things worse. You may not be ready for this time to come, you may never be ready. And it's safe to safe that it may not be the right time, but it just has to happen.

Take that leap, it's time to do it. Take that leap and don't look back. The consequences may not be great, but the weight will be lifted off you and you're free to do as you please now. Even if the consequences are bad, the overall effect will be wonderful.

With this weight lifted off you, you can find new ways to be yourself. New ways to evolve and grow. It's okay to be nervous to take the leap, we all are. Especially if your leap is something that can impact the people around you and change your entire life in seconds.

An hour after I called Billings, I had to go to the field office to discuss this issue with them. Sadly once again, I had to leave Jace, but he seemed to understand. Now he understands, but soon he won't. We're going to have to re-open the Cobra case, which is not going to be fun in the slightest.

I walk into the FBI building and find Cam already waiting with Billings, right after I walk in, Paige does too.

"What's going on?" Paige asks.

I look back at her and take in her appearance. She's wearing a nice dress, had made up hair, makeup on like she was going somewhere.

"Where were you?" I smirk.

She blushes, "If you must know, I was on a date."

I lean over to her and whisper for her to tell me everything later. Billings finishes a quick conversation with Cam before turning to all of us.

"You all were called in because Agent Warren believes that the case needs to be re-opened."

"What?" Cam turns to me, "What do you mean? It was Richard Holloway."

I take a deep breath and explain what I've learned, "It's not. Cam, you said that the leader would have come into a lot of money during the past few years."

"Yeah," Cam nods, "Richard came into money."

"Richard's money didn't come from the Cobras. His money was accounted for by really good investments and some unusual mafia deals."

I pull out my phone and show the pictures of the bank statements to Paige and Cam. They look at them and I see Paige squint confused at the name.

"We don't know anyone with this name. How do we know this is real or anything, how do we know this is the leader?"

"Do you remember when we took the FBI test and we had to decipher some anagrams?"

They nod and look at me. I nod to the piece of paper and watch them turn to the whiteboard, write down the name and begin to rearrange the letters on the whiteboard. I input the bank statement pictures into the FBI database and save them as evidence.

They finally decipher it and step back from the whiteboard. We all come face to face with the name of the person who has been threatening Jace and me.

Cam shakes his head in disbelief, "No way."

"It doesn't make sense. How would that work?"

"It would work perfectly. Think about it, every little thing that's happened makes sense."

Billings steps between us and the whiteboard, "We should all go into a briefing room to discuss this."

We do as he says and sit down in a large conference room. The other agents in the wing look at us in suspicion and Cam walk back out and erase the name on the whiteboard. He then walks back in and takes a seat.
